Too Late to Hold Me Back novel Chapter 300

If he refused, Master Ellis would absolutely banish him from their ranks.

*Sigh.* This girl was nothing but a beautiful nightmare of complications.

And yet, he had fallen right into her trap.

The deeper he got involved, the more addicted he became. He found himself constantly wondering—what insane strategy would she pull next? How many more times could she shock him?

And more importantly, how much equity could he secure in her next empire?

Back to the matter at hand.

Owen's gaze turned predatory. “Scum like Warren Yates definitely have skeletons in their closets. Dig up his dirt. I want him stripped of his position, permanently.”

A man with that much power and zero morals was a walking catastrophe.

“Understood, Boss.”

Across town, Harvey Rivers was also tapping into his family's formidable network in Aethelgard, digging into the exact same bike-sharing sabotage.

The Rivers family wielded substantial influence in the capital as well.

“Sir, the target is backed directly by the Lance family.”

If they didn't rip this thorn out by the roots, expanding in Aethelgard would be a bloodbath.

“Keep digging until we have the full picture.”

Early the next morning, Owen set out to execute the aggressive recruitment blitz he and Mira had strategized.

Mira took Silas and Jax to investigate the address Master Ellis had given her.

Felix had arranged a dedicated fleet of vehicles and drivers for them. The eight black Audis from yesterday were at Mira's exclusive disposal for the duration of her stay.

Upon arriving at the location, the driver pointed to a traditional storefront. “Miss Mercer, this is the place you're looking for.”

“Verdant Springs Apothecary? It looks like a traditional medicine shop. Are you sure this is the right place?”

“I can't speak to what's inside, but the address matches perfectly,” the driver confirmed, double-checking the GPS.

Mira had envisioned her mentor's contact point to be some sort of impenetrable fortress—a martial arts dojo, or at least a covert security firm.

“Your mentor's name is Jordan Ellis. The man is a walking pharmacy. Why is it weird that he runs an apothecary?” Silas pointed out bluntly.

It clicked for Mira. Her mentor wasn't just a martial arts grandmaster; he was an unparalleled medical savant. His expertise wasn't limited to lethal toxins and sedatives—he was a master healer who saved lives.
