The price of betrayal (Jack and Ashley) novel Chapter 164

What Nolan said was all too clear. The clarity of his words left Archie and Lincoln feeling bitter in their hearts.

Nolan was not planning to let Gregory off the hook. An eye for an eye—he was indeed this ruthless.

But this was Gregory they were talking about. Over the years, many had considered challenging Gregory, whether in the Eastern State's underworld or among influential figures elsewhere.

Yet, ultimately, he remained firmly seated on the throne as the strongest boss in the Eastern State's underworld, untouched and unshakable. This was no laughing matter.

As Lincoln was about to speak again, trying to dissuade Nolan, Archie took a deep breath and stopped him.

There was no need for more words. If they talked further, their previous bond of loyalty would likely evaporate.

"Mr. Greene, we will carry out your orders. I'll arrange for someone to take photos and send them to Mr. Lynch immediately."

Nolan nodded and looked at Archie. "I understand your concerns. After all, here I am, daring to confront the most powerful boss in the Eastern State's underworld. It looks like an impossible attempt, so your worries are normal.

"Moreover, you have already done your utmost in making this choice. Mr. Baxter, Lincoln, if you wish to withdraw now, it's not too late. I can send the photos myself."

Was it not too late? Perhaps it wasn't, but in reality, it was already too late. Besides, if they backed out now, would that not make their earlier difficult decision meaningless?

Archie looked at Nolan and said respectfully, "Mr. Greene, you have done a great favor for the Baxter family, and I deeply admire your loyalty. Therefore, it is my choice to do whatever I can for you.
