The 24th Century Warrior Became a Fake Heiress novel Chapter 72

Chapter 72 High Maintenance

Finished

Staring at her raw intensity, Brett actually felt a sudden wave of guilt as if he had genuinely cheated on her.

He stammered frantically, completely unable to form a coherent sentence.

Fortunately, his utter failure to explain saved him the trouble, the fierce–looking leader watched for a moment and concluded this was just typical high–society relationship drama.

It looked like the young Carter playboy had broken a naive girl’s heart at school and refused to grant her an official title.

Man, this chick was incredibly pathetic.

Extractio

Too bad for her, she had stumbled straight into an active tactical extraction, meaning she’d just have to swallow her terrible luck!

With that thought settling his mind, the leader let out a quiet snort before turning a highly pleasant, smooth expression onto Isabella, purring, “I had no idea Brett was such a piece of trash. No wonder he didn’t mention he was waiting for anyone earlier.

“Man, sweetheart, you really got the short straw here.”

Slouching in the passenger seat, his fingers casually flicked a metallic Zippo lighter open and shut.

The volatile flame danced rhythmically against the glass, illuminating a pair of eyes full of murderous, bloodthirsty cruelty.

Isabella caught the reflection in a single glance, finalizing her clinical evaluation instantly.

This man had definitely taken human lives before.

And the syndicate operators flanking him carried an identical lethal aura.

Her cognitive tracking matrix estimated a full deployment of eight operators.

Three were currently embedded inside their vehicle, while the remaining five monitored coordinates from a secondary transport trailing behind.

This was a heavily packed commercial district.

If these desperate killers felt cornered, there was zero telling what kind of collateral carnage they would

execute.

On top of that, even if she neutralized the threats in her cabin instantly, the secondary transport would immediately go hot.

After a rapid diagnostic of the tactical field, Isabella resolved to hold her position for now.

Letting out a sharp snort, she fixed the fierce–looking leader with a defiant, spoiled glare and snapped coldly, “Who asked for your opinion?

Chapter 72–High Maintenance

“I don’t need your pathetic pity!

“Our bond is unassailable

“I am absolutely going to marry into the Carter dynasty and rule that estate!

“Brett, look me in the eye and tell them right!”

She shot Brett a deeply threatening glare packed with explosive emphasis.

Finished

Taken aback by the sheer ferocity of her bratty performance, Brett sat frozen, completely forgetting his cue until Isabella delivered a savage pinch to his thigh, forcing him to stammer out, “Y–Yeah, totally.”

Under her masterful guidance, his trembling posture and broken delivery blended seamlessly into the narrative, leaving absolutely zero loopholes for the captors to exploit.

Despite getting snapped at by a teenage girl, the fierce–looking operator didn’t show a single shred of

annoyance.

On the contrary, the stupider Isabella acted, the better.

An incompetent variable meant their operational security remained perfectly uncompromised.

Now that both targets were securely locked inside their transport, what else was there to stress about?

This high–maintenance brat was nothing but a loud mouth who would break the second the reality hit her.

He let out a dark,.dismissive chuckle.

Choosing to conserve his energy, he closed his eyes and slumped back against the headrest.

Seeing an opening, Isabella immediately dialed up her insufferable performance.

One minute she’d snap, “Where the h*ll are we going anyway?”

The next, she’d whine, “If the spot is cheap and boring, I am totally out!”

“I expect a five–star hotel suite or forget it!”

She put on a continuous masterclass of being an insufferable brat.

Flanking her on the leather seat, Brett watched her routine with a racing pulse, his fingers twitching as he fought the urge to physically pull her back.

He had never witnessed an extracted hostage display this much unhinged attitude!

Are you serious…

Does she even comprehend she’s currently a captive?!

She literally whispered to me a second ago that she knew they were dangerous criminals!

Brett was thoroughly blown away by her unassailable confidence, thinking Isabella was an absolute legend.
