Everett's gaze darkened slightly as he instructed, "Keep an eye on her." "Sir, if we manage to escape this time, are we taking her with us?" Aquila asked, somewhat perplexed.

In his view, it would have been simpler to deal with Doretta immediately, eliminating any further concerns.

"Keep her for now.

She might still serve as a bargaining chip if we can't escape smoothly," Everett responded with a snort.

Aquila was taken aback.

“They might not, but Emma would," Everett stated confidently.
