Be lowered her gaze, remaining silent.


    Sensing her sadness, Justin took her hand and gently caressed it. "Be, I understand you''re


    concerned about Carrie. But look, Carrie now has Ryan, who loves, adores, and pampers her. With his


    strong background and capabilities, he''s well equipped to look after her."


    "Yeah, I know. I''m actually very grateful for Ryan."


    Be''s gratitude was not just because Ryan was willing to ept Carrie. Rather, she appreciated that


    he could see beyond the surface and recognize the pure beauty of this girl like an uncut gem. Ryan


    was willing to be patient and stay by Carrie''s side.


    After a while, Ryan returned, his dark circles seemingly deeper.


    "Ryan, you''ve worked hard." Justin sighed deeply.


    "She''s my wife. I''m willing to do everything. There''s nothing hard about it."


    Ryan did not me Yasmin. Instead, he continued the conversation, "Where were we? Right! I was just


    thinking. Maxwell is a fugitive. He''s powerless and has no influence here. How could he manage to hire


    so many people to work for him? Could it be Christopher''s doing? Are his men secretly protecting


    Maxwell?"


    Be and Justin thought of this possibility, too.


    After all, Maxwell was Winston''s superior and had participated in the South Ind attack. For them, he


    was a key witness who could deliver a devastating blow to Christopher. So naturally, Christopher would


    not let such significant leverage fall into their hands. Would that not be like cing his own head on the


    muzzle of a gun?


    "Maxwell has appeared, which means he''s still alive and in Savrow. As long as he''s in Savrow, he won''t


    be able to escape. It''s only a matter of time before we get him."


    Justin''s eyes were dark, like the depths of an abyss, and his restrained hatred made his voice hoarse.


    "Nothing is more important than human lives. I can''t bear to see another innocent person sacrificed


    because of scum like Christopher and Maxwell. It''s just not worth it."


    Ryan felt an indescribable difort in his heart.


    His best friend, who appeared cold and indifferent on the surface, actually had a heart warmer than


    anyone else.


    "Um... I have a question." Ian suddenly raised his hand to speak.


    "What?" The three of them asked in unison.


    "I''ve always been puzzled about why Christopher would go to such lengths to protect Maxwell. He''s not


    in Sentania now. He''s on his own turf. Iftwere him, wouldn''t it be more convenient just to eliminate the


    threat?"

    "Maxwell isn''t alone. He came from a military background, and his men were all mercenaries, capable


    of taking on ten opponents each. Besides, the Hoffman Group and the Salvador Corporation''s people


    have constantly searched for them, with tight controls at customs, railways, really picks


    and ports. If Christopher ways,


    a fight with Maxwell''s men, such a bigmotion would definitely attract our attention. That would


    expose him instead."


    Yasmin insightfully noted, "Plus, Maxwell''s group consists of thugs. In a head-on fight, Christopher


    might not gain any advantage."


    His casual remark struck Be like a revtion. Her mind raced, connecting all the dots in an instant.


    "Shit! Christopher is about to make a move on Maxwell!"
