Chapter 905:
“Be mad all you want, but we both know you can’t ignoreforever.” With that, Jayden turned and left the
cottage.
In truth, Jayden wasn’t the least bit intimidated by Charlie. He believed Charlie was no longer a threat. Once
Jayden brought out his trump card, Charlie would have no choice but to submit. This operation might be risky,
but if it succeeded, Jayden would reap boundless benefits.
Less than an hour later, Jayden arrived in a desolate town, far more remote than the outskirts. It had once been
a lively community but was now reduced to a barren battlefield.

Jayden and his men had trapped Charlie's group, and both parties were currently caught in a deadlock. Charlie
let out a litany of curses as he swept his gaze over his fallen comrades, including Rory, who had been shot in the
head by Jayden himself.
Charlie and what remained of his forces were taking cover in a dilapidated house. Taking advantage of the
temporary ceasefire, Charlie sat down to collect his thoughts while the others rested. He needed to reassess the
situation.
How had Jayden gained such terrifying power? Not only had Jayden completely separated his forces, but he and
his men had somehow managed to outmaneuver Charlie at every turn. Each step Charlie took only pulled him
deeper into Jayden’s trap.
After mulling it over for a while, Charlie muttered an expletive. “Enzo, you bastard. How dare you setup! If |
get out of here alive, I'll make sure to hunt you down and send you to an early grave!”

Looking back, taking Enzo’s advice and deliberately provoking Jayden proved to be the dumbest decision Charlie
had ever made.
Charlie slumped against the wall in resignation. Just then, his phone rang. The screen was already cracked, and
most of the device's functions were no longer working, but it could still receive calls.

Charlie stared at Jayden’s nflashing on his screen and hesitated for a few seconds. When he finally took the
call, the first thing he said was, “Are you calling to surrender?”
This was met with light laughter. “Very funny,” Jayden drawled. “You sure got a lot of nerve to askthat when
you're the one backed into a corner.”
Jayden delivered his insults openly, yet Charlie remained unmoved by his words.
Speaking softly, Charlie questioned, “What are your plans if surrender isn’t on the table? Surely, you didn’t come
here just to reminisce?”
With a light chuckle, Jayden inquired, “Don’t you wonder about your daughter?”
