Chapter 764
Hinterlands, usually a place of chaos, had suddenly calmed down over the past two days. The quieter it got, the more uneasy people felt. The streets were almost devoid of pedestrians.
On this sunny day, there was a security operation by the Serenity River within Hinterlands.
Leonardo stood by the river, wearing a golden mask. His cloak fluttered in the wind, exuding an imposing aura.
Beside him were Quillan and Anthony, who were tied up. After being tortured in prison for four or five days, they had long lost their initial sharpness.
Louis walked over from the roadside to report, "Captain, Isabel is bringing people over."
Dozens of military vehicles slowly drove up, kicking up a cloud of dust.
Isabel was sitting in the front vehicle. She pushed the door open and stepped out, her black leather shoes hitting the ground.
She touched the gun at her lower back and sneered inwardly. But as soon as she looked up and saw the tortured and unrecognizable Quillan, her smile faded.
Suppressing her anger, she walked step by step to the edge of the Serenity River.
Behind Isabel were over two hundred soldiers in uniform, armed with weapons.
Ivan recognized many of these people before. Just a few days ago, during a military meeting, several of them had pledged their loyalty to him.
But it turned out they were all Quillan's subordinates.
Ivan smirked. "Miss Spencer, have them surrender all their weapons."
Isabel raised her hand and made a gesture. Everyone threw their weapons to the ground, the sound echoing through the room.
Louis, along with four soldiers, walked over and collected all the guns from the ground.
Once all the weapons had been confiscated, Isabel spoke coldly, "Can you release Quillan now?"
"Let them come over first," Ivan said, rubbing his fingers. "Don't negotiate with me; you're in no position to make demands."
As he spoke, he glanced at Quillan.
Quillan initially wanted to tell Isabel not to give everything to Leonardo, but thinking of the painful life in prison, he couldn't bring himself to say it. Once he regained his freedom, he would definitely regroup his subordinates and catch Leonardo!
Isabel's subordinates walked orderly towards Ivan's direction and were controlled by Ivan's troops.
"Now, you can go over." Ivan shoved Quillan forward.
With his hands tied behind his back, Quillan had no balance and stumbled towards Isabel.
Anthony immediately panicked. "Miss, don't forget me. Save me."
He was just about to rush forward when the air filled with the rapid click-clack of gun triggers.
Quillan's former subordinates, the very men who had seemed to pledge loyalty to Ivan, suddenly drew handguns from their ankle holsters or the smalls of their backs. Over two hundred men, each with a gun, aimed directly at Ivan's forces.
The officer in charge pressed a gun to Ivan's temple.
Quillan suddenly burst into laughter. "Isabel, well done. You truly are my daughter!"
He had genuinely believed Isabel had surrendered all her men to save him, but she had another plan up her sleeve!
"Quillan, I didn't let you down." Isabel smiled and walked over slowly. "Leonardo, I bet you didn't see this coming, did you?"
Ivan's face remained impassive, showing no hint of surprise. He spoke calmly, "Pretending to defect to capture me alive? So this is Miss Spencer's plan?"
