98.6% Chapter 160 Chapter 160 Asher's expression turned serious as he replied, "I've called in two teams of mercenaries from abroad. They've received even more rigorous training than those at Malfoy's military base. With them protecting you and your family, Malfoy's people won't be able to harm you again." Thalia was taken aback. "Mercenaries?" "Yes." Asher's thin lips pressed together, his eyes flashing with remorse. "I failed before. I didn't protect you and your family properly. Lia, I promise you, something like this won't happen again. I'll keep you safe." Thalia lowered her gaze, her feelings complicated.
She had intended to respond with sarcasm, but then she remembered how Asher had risked his life to meet Tom Malfoy alone to save her. The biting words reached the tip of her tongue, but Thalia couldn't bring herself to say them.
Seeing Thalia's silence, Asher assumed she didn't believe him. His throat tightened as bitterness washed over him.
They soon arrived at Asher's compound.
Lucy had been brought back by Asher's subordinate, Leo Kim.
Leo was the commander-in-chief of Asher's American base. Someone of his rank rarely participated directly in operations; routine missions were typically assigned to his subordinates. Only extremely important and confidential missions warranted his personal involvement.
In his fifteen years of service to Asher, Leo had never been asked to rescue a young girl.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWhen he received the assignment, he was gobsmacked.
He double-checked to make sure, and even after Asher confirmed it, he still found it hard to believe.
Tom Malfoy was powerful in Russia, but firearms weren't prohibited there, so their people wouldn't be restricted. Rescuing someone shouldn't be difficult.
He could have assigned a reliable deputy as commander and sent a few mercenaries over to handle it. The situation. hardly required the personal involvement of the commander-in-chief.
Despite his confusion, Leo had always obeyed Asher's orders unconditionally. Since Asher had issued this command, he had no choice but to comply.
Though Malfoy's men weren't as formidable as those in America, their strength was still considerable.

The doctor administered glucose, and shortly after boarding the helicopter, she regained consciousness. The young girl was terrified.
She huddled in her seat, trembling, hugging her knees, her small face deathly pale, and her doe-like eyes filled with fear.
A ruggedly handsyoung man under Leo's command gave Lucy an odd look before turning to Leo. "Boss, what's so special about this girl? Why did you have to rescue her personally?" Leo shook his head. "I don't know. The young master didn't say." The young man's nwas Clinton Yates. He was one of the mercenaries involved in Lucy's rescue.
Despite being only seventeen, Clinton had already undergone nine years of professional training. He had never failed a mi and his skills surpassed many veteran soldiers. He as among the top three mercenaries under Leo's command.
Clinton's arm had been hit by a bullet, the white bandage soaked crimson with blood. Yet he showed no resentment, merely smiling and saying, "Then she must be extremely important to the young master." When the young man smiled, his rugged features softened somewhat.
Lucy looked up at him, the fear in her eyes diminishing.
