Chapter 689: PEACEFUL DECISION

Chapter 689: PEACEFUL DECISION

When Jayden turned around, he saw a burly man staring at him fiercely.

"What are you doing here?" asked the man who was wearing the same uniform that Jayden and Adrian were wearing. "You know that you shouldn't be patrolling the area around here?" the man asked in his deep voice, as if he had just finished a box of cigarettes.

Hearing this, Jayden squinted, he then looked at Adrian who was standing beside him and was about to make an excuse, but before he could say anything, Jayden had hit the man very fast and knocked him on the head very hard when he tried to get back up.

Of course this was unexpected and Adrian didn't expect Jayden to do such a thing.

"What are you doing?" he asked with wide eyes. He looked at the man who fell on his face and went still.

Adrian knew that the man couldn't possibly die, he just fainted. It was just that they could find a much better solution than this. Adrian could have talked to him and this unnecessary violence wouldn't have happened.

"I could have talked to him," said Adrian. "And we could have gotten out, without this having to be like this."

If it was like this, they would actually attract attention if someone came and this would increase the risk of their mission. Jayden should know that right?

Only, Jayden didn't listen, instead he approached the man's body and then reached into his jacket pockets, but when he found nothing, he then checked around his waist and found something.

"He is not the port officer here," Jayden said, pointing to the gun tucked into the man's waist. "No supervisor needs to carry a gun."

"Oh," Adrian mumbled. That's right…

There was no way for a supervisor to walk around with a gun on their waist, so it was absolutely absurd.

Adrian then glanced at Jayden Tordoff. How could he catch this so quickly? Even he himself couldn't figure it out… of course this was something he did not expect at all.

After immobilizing the man, Jayden then tried to search the man's body further and found that he was carrying a communication device tucked away in his trouser pocket.

Jayden took the small communication device and put it to his ear while listening to the orders given by Erick to his other subordinates.

From the conversation, Jayden knew that this man was not alone, there were two other men who had disguised themselves by wearing the same uniform as Jayden and Adrian.

"Call someone to clean this up," Jayden said, kicking the man, like he was just trash littering the streets. He didn't even glance at him after that and just walked away, right after making sure the man would stay unconscious.

Meanwhile, Adrian quickly contacted someone to take care of the man who had been knocked unconscious by Jayden and asked him to take the man away from him.

It was only after that Adrian went to catch up with Jayden and went back to observe the extent of the activities that these people had carried out.

Only, before Adrian could move closer, Jayden had pulled him away to take cover behind one of the cargo.

Because there, on the other side of the Cargo, Jayden saw Erick talking to someone. He was reporting what happened in this Harbor and it went without saying that that person must be Theodore Gevano.

Jayden frowned as he eavesdropped on the conversation, but his head felt very dizzy and his fingertips felt numb. He felt that he was about to have a panic attack.

Damn.

He didn't want that to happen, nor to experience it at a time like this. He wanted to be here to see their fall.

And it was at that moment, in the distance, that Jayden could see the ship, carrying the cargoes that had been loaded with crates earlier, moving away because they had managed to get what they wanted.

"Now," Jayden said quietly into his communication device, but he forgot that he was wearing the communication device he took from the man earlier.

And by the time Jayden realized that, it was too late.

On the other hand, Adrian could only facepalm himself at the small mistake, while Jayden smirked. His head had been throbbing with pain since earlier, therefore, he couldn't think clearly and made the mistake.

But, since things had already happened, what could he do?

Quickly, Jayden came out of his hiding place and surprised Adrian, because this wasn't what they had planned.

On the other hand, Erick was startled when he heard someone talking into his communication device in a commanding tone and then in the distance, he could see several speed boats moving toward his ship.

Which, not long after, was followed by the sound of a helicopter in the distance.

"Damn! What is this!?" Erick shouted in annoyance, he looked around, but when he saw the figure of a man walking toward him, he tried to grab the gun at his waist, which Jayden had anticipated.

Jayden moved faster than Erick and within seconds, he had his gun pointed at the man's head.

"If you try to draw your gun, I will blow your head off," Jayden said threateningly, but he did not raise his voice at all. He sounded very calm and in control of the situation.

It was just that this place seemed to be hellbent on challenging his sanity. He wanted to get out of here and go back into Apple's arms, keep her company...

"Jayden Tordoff…" Erick said, calling his name in a scornful voice. "We have not seen each other in a long time."

"I wish it stayed that way," Jayden retorted, for he had not at all expected to meet this man.

"Then how about we discuss this matter peacefully?" he asked with that sickening smile on his face.
