After all, if they ruined their track record, who the h*ll would ever contract them for black–ops extraction again?

Dropping his receiver, the leader turned a flat glance onto an operator standing nearby, growling. “What’s the status? Are the two assets staying compliant?”

The operator let out a helpless, weary sigh before replying, “Compliant? Well, yes and no.

“The main headache is that girlfriend of Brett Carter.

“She is completely brainless.”

Clicking his tongue in total frustration, he added, “She actually swallowed our entire cover story hook, line, and sinker.

“She is aggressively demanding we launch the murder mystery game right this second, or she’ll make us regret it.

“On top of that, she’s whining that she’s starving and expects a five–star gourmet dinner served immediately.”

Reaching this point in his report, the man rubbed his temples, a massive headache building.

Isabella acted completely blind to the threat environment, utterly ignoring the suffocating killer aura radiating off their uniforms, treating them all with equal high–society contempt.

She was a textbook spoiled heiress, and an absolute idiot.

The more the operator replayed her antics, the more his posture crumpled.

He muttered, “Boss, why don’t we just tie her up and toss her in the corner? She’s causing an absolute

scene.

“She’s 100% convinced we’re actors hired by Brett to play a prank on her, claiming we’re running a smoke screen for him, and swearing the second she gets back and proves he’s cheating, she’ll ruin our careers.

“She is driving me completely insane with her screaming.”

The man’s face completely fell as he finished.

It wasn’t like they had never handled crying, screaming female hostages before, and usually, those targets learned to shut up real quick after a taste of steel.

But Isabella was a completely different beast altogether.

Earlier, to keep her passive and prevent Brett from triggering a scene, they had played along with her boyfriend narrative, actively helping the boy deceive her.

Now their little con had succeeded perfectly, except she had taken the high–maintenance routine to an unhinged extreme.

At this stage, even if they physically threw her into ropes, the girl would probably just assume it was part of the immersive game metrics.

They had genuinely shot themselves straight in the foot with their own cover story.

Naturally, if they wanted to execute a hard correction on Isabella, it would take less than a second.

A couple of heavy slaps or a minor blade scratch across her cheek would instantly shut her mouth.

But Eugene’s capital hadn’t cleared their offshore system yet.

Furthermore, the sole reason Brett was staying perfectly compliant was because Isabella was sitting safe and sound beside him; if they drew her blood, the youngest Carter asset might trigger a suicidal resistance line, which would complicate the extraction.

They temporarily needed Brett completely intact for now, ensuring Eugene didn’t hesitate for a single split second when releasing the wire transfer.

Listening to his subordinate’s breakdown, the leader’s scowl deepened into dangerous lines.

He ordered coldly, “Ignore her tantrums for now.

“As for the five–star gourmet dinner…”

Taking a slow, measured breath to suppress his irritation, he snarled, “Go inform the princess that the abduction phase of the game is officially live.

“They are the captive hostages, and we are the cold–blooded kidnappers! Tell her to shut her mouth right

now!

“Otherwise, we will gladly use physical force to help her find some silence!

“Trust me, she won’t enjoy the immersive experience of our physical correction.

“And inside an active game framework, any level of violence is perfectly authorized.

“Tell her to keep her head down, or we will literally slap the teeth right out of her mouth.”

The leader barked out the commands, his patience completely hit the red zone.

Throughout the entire transit, he had witnessed her insufferable, high–maintenance nagging firsthand.

But if she intended to push her luck inside his secure facility, she was out of her goddamn mind.

If she wanted to avoid a brutal beating, she better learn to play nice.

While the leader was seething in the front office, Isabella had already systematically mapped out the syndicate’s operational parameters through her continuous drama.

“They’ve definitely established a live connection with Eugene,” she murmured flatly to Brett.

Otherwise, these ruthless killers wouldn’t be showing this level of conversational tolerance.

It was glaringly obvious they were utilizing their presence as standard financial leverage to squeeze the Carter Group.

By that same token, Eugene had undoubtedly factored in her emergency alert to his driver, meaning he was intentionally feigning ignorance regarding her capture to protect her position from the cartel.
