Unstoppable Unforgiven (Shermaine and Joshua) novel Chapter 493

Chapter 493

Bronx stayed calm and confident. “I’ve already set the perfect trap; I’m just waiting for him to walk right into it.” Regardless of Cain’s strength, a single individual could not defeat an entire army.

After they got off the ship, Damien had his hands full. He needed to secretly transport Joshua and Shermaine’s two fighter jets without anyone noticing

Luckily, they had an Eagle Assassins branch office right here in Baykeep.

However, the branch office wasn’t in good shape right now.

Bronx knew Joshua had played him, taking his money without delivering on their deal, and he was furious about it, so he’d started going after their people.

The car pulled up to Rosa mansion as Damien kept trying to reach Teddy Finch, the branch office director. But Teddy wasn’t picking up his phone.

Damien said, “Boss, something might’ve happened to our people at the Baykeep branch.”

“Go check it out. Since we can’t count on the branch, have Jacob Hughes and his team find us a warehouse that can store fighter jets, somewhere not too

far out.”

“Yes, sir.”

The car stopped, and Damien got out.

The mecha shipment could wait since the Noah Cruise Ship would dock for a full day to refuel and pick up new passengers before departing tomorrow.

At Rosa mansion, Shermaine helped Jasmine and the others check in.

Joshua didn’t plan to stay here since he was now a thorn in Bronx’s side, and staying near Shermaine would only bring her trouble.

After dropping off their luggage, Shermaine immediately began sweeping the room for bugs.

Joshua checked the bedroom while Shermaine searched the living room.

Joshua was inspecting the restroom when Damien’s call came through.

He found another listening device in the restroom, crushed it, and then answered Damien’s call.

“Boss, our Eagle Assassins branch got hit last night. Some are hurt, some are dead, and they took Teddy alive.”

Teddy was someone Joshua had sent from headquarters to expand their operations, so he couldn’t just abandon him. Breaking deals was one thing, but

if word spread through the organization that he left his people behind, it would destroy morale.

The assassins who’d sworn loyalty might turn against him and jump ship. Since Teddy was taken alive, Bronx’s intentions were obvious wanted to lure Joshua out. Whatever danger awaited Joshua, it wouldn’t be pretty.

“Can you track down where they’re holding him?” Joshua asked.

“Not yet,” Damien replied.

Joshua fell silent, thinking. “Tell everyone to stay ready and wait for orders.”

Just then, the doorbell rang, and Shermaine went to answer it–a hotel staff stood outside.

The staff handed over a golden invitation. “Ms. Hanks, this is for tonight’s welcome party that Mr. Bronx Moreno is hosting for all players. You must wear formal attire and attend on time.”

“I have to go?”

“Yes, and Mr. Bronx Moreno has prepared special entertainment for everyone.”

‘Of course he did,‘ Shermaine sneered inwardly. If she didn’t want to go, she wouldn’t give anyone face.

After thinking it over, Shermaine reached out and took the invitation, said a quiet thanks, and closed the door.

The party was set for seven tonight.

Shermaine tossed the invitation to Joshua. “If you want to know where Teddy is, wouldn’t it be faster to just ask them directly?” Here was their chance.

Joshua took the invitation. “Sheary’s got a point.”

Shermaine walked over and looked him up and down. “But you’ll need to change your look before you go.” Otherwise, if he just waltzed in there like that, forget getting close to Bronx–his cover would be blown before he even started. That would be like walking straight into a trap.

After thinking it over, Joshua going in disguise would still be too risky. Shermaine took the invitation back, changing her mind. “Never mind, I’ll do it

Joshua shook his head firmly. “No way I’m bothering you with this. I can handle it myself. You just sit back and enjoy the show.”
