The Beauty and the Brain by Natalie Jones novel Chapter 13

Chapter 13 The Final Struggle of the Cornered Beast 

For Dennis, 4.5 million dollars was not even a drop in the bucket. 

Marie replied [France Lyon, Dock 1 on the east coast, container number 226.] 

[Thank you!] Dennis replied. 

Even though it was a simple transaction where both money and goods were exchanged, Dennis’ “thank you” suddenly reminded Marie of the time she fell from the second-floor window and was 

caught securely by Dennis. 

So, as if prompted by some mysterious force, they asked [Will you personally lead the team in 

action?] 

[Possibly] Dennis replied briefly. 

[There are nine of them. Three snipers on the perimeter, four disguised as dock workers patrolling, and two guarding the outside of the container] Marie said. 

She knew all about Rodger Group’s modus operandi. It was a team of ten, and with Emory gone, there were nine members left. She was well aware of Rodger Group’s combat capabilities and, subconsciously, she didn’t want Dennis to get hurt. 

Dennis gazed at the information on the screen, deep in thought. This didn’t seem like a killer who sold information; rather, it resembled a sentimental woman. 

[Thank you!] He slowly typed these two words. 

“Mr. Whitney, we’ve found the location! It’s at a cyber cafe outside of Las Vegas High School!” Cullen showed the tracking results to Dennis. 

“Let’s go.” Dennis picked up his coat and headed for the door. 

Internationally renowned as Ace Killer, it was said that she had received the most professional special agent training. No one knew her appearance or background, and he was very curious about 

what this Rose would look like. 

Marie took care of everything and left the cyber cafe. 

This is a hastily found cyber cafe near the high school where she studied. The sky is gradually darkening, and she walks briskly. If she returns home too late, Mia and her mother will have 

another reason to cause her trouble. 

As Marie was about to reach the main street, a few oddly dressed young men approached and blocked her way. 

“Little sister? Where are you going?” A blond-haired man approached and asked.

Marie watched them cautiously and said, “How much do you want? I’ll pay.’ 

“We’re not short on money, we just want to chat with you,” the blond-haired man said with a sleazy 

smile. 

“Do you know who I am? I have as much money as you want!” Marie said, testing the waters. 

“Of course I know who you are when I came looking for you, Ms. Marie of the Spence family. I heard you’ve lost some weight and had some work done, just look at that radiant face of yours,” the blond-haired man said as he reached out to touch her face. 

Sure enough! A group of hooligans started causing trouble for her for no reason, not wanting money but just the person. 

“Who sent you, Carly? Whatever she’s paying, I can offer double,” Marie said, dodging the blond-haired man’s hand with disdain. 

“Enough talk, just drag her over here!” The blond-haired man, feeling embarrassed for being tricked, angrily ordered the others to drag Marie into the alley. 

A few young hooligans approached with sinister grins. Marie swiftly lifted her leg and kicked down a man wearing a black hoodie. The man in the black hoodie quickly got up, fiercely slapped her across the face, and yelled, “You damn woman! How dare you kick me! Just wait, I’ll make you pay for this!” 

Seeing that no one had taken Marie away, the blond-haired man rushed forward, grabbed her by the hair, and dragged her into the alley. 

Marie cried out for help, but in the dead of night, not a single person passed through this remote alley.
