Chapter 292: Secret Operations IV
"Are you not going to talk, Aiden?" The masked male asked, his gun resting casually at his side as he observed the group.
They were huddled on a sofa that had been shoved to the center of the room. Those who couldn’t fit sat on the floor—specifically, the mercenaries.
Aiden finally opened his mouth to respond, but the masked man swiftly placed a finger over his lips, silencing him.
With a dismissive nod, he turned to the figure behind him. "Take two and check upstairs to see if there’s anyone up there..." He paused for a moment, his gaze sweeping over the group. "We will wait until you three come back."
When they returned just five minutes later, a woman accompanied them, exuding an aura of stoic confidence that even guns and weapons couldn’t shatter.
Athena’s jaw slackened in disbelief as she took in the sight of the new arrival.
Clad in a stunning cerulean gown that hugged her figure perfectly, the woman radiated beauty. Her wavy brunette hair cascaded down her shoulders, framing a face that seemed to glow under the stark lighting. She wore designer shoes that clicked authoritatively against the floor, completing her sophisticated look.
It was Gloria.
Athena instantly looked at Aiden. The latter had the same expression on his face.
"Gloria..." Aiden stuttered, utterly taken aback. "What are you doing here?"
Ignoring him, Gloria stood tall, her posture straight and her chin held high, embodying confidence itself.
