Too Late to Hold Me Back novel Chapter 991

That was why they were so fearless and reckless.

Under normal circumstances, they might have gotten away with it. But Mira and her team were anything but ordinary.

Mira handed a small packet of powder to Owen. "Use it. Let's not waste time."

Before the captive could react, Owen forced his jaw open and dumped the powder down his throat.

"What... what did you just give me?"

The man gagged, trying desperately to spit it out, but the powder dissolved instantly on his tongue. Gradually, his mind clouded over until he completely lost control of his own body.

In that terrifying moment, he finally realized he had messed with the wrong people.

If he had known his targets were this formidable, he would never have taken the job. The payout was nowhere near enough for this level of risk.

"He's ready."

Owen sat back in his chair, gesturing for the Iron Wolves to begin the interrogation.

"Who sent you?"

"A syndicate from Balkana. They hired the Scorpio Syndicate."

"How much is the payout?"

"If we succeed, we each get a million dollars. We already got a hundred thousand upfront."

"If we double your pay to go after the mastermind, would you take the job?"

"No way. I wouldn't do it for all the money in the world."

"Why not?"

"Because they are utterly ruthless. They are completely off-limits to us.

If we fail them, it won't just be death. They'll torture us until we're begging for the end."

"I guess we've been too merciful, which is why these people think they can walk all over us."

Mira scoffed self-deprecatingly.

When dealing with scum like this, there could be no mercy.

"Who is your local contact?"

"I don't know his full name, but I heard his last name is Lance."

"What was your objective here?"
