“Yes, I have already instructed them to leave. Did you think I would give you the opportunity to use me to threaten them?” Barney replied firmly.

“Mr. President, don’t worry. I’ve sent our men to keep an eye on the airport. They won’t be able to leave,” Jamie quickly reassured Marcus. They had already revealed their intention, so there was no need to hold back anymore.

For many, entering Anglandur was a dream come true, and he could offer them everything they desired. He was confident that they wouldn’t be able to resist his enticing offer.
