The Unshackled Queen: Never Say Never

Bryson eyed the heavy door ahead but remained silent.

Shortly after, the woman reappeared.

“Mr.

Mitchell, the boss is ready to meet you now.

”

“Let’s go,” Bryson said, taking the lead.

Dotson and Maloney exchanged wary looks before trailing behind him.

They passed through several ornately designed iron doors until they reached a room.

It was guarded by two serious-looking men in suits.

The woman opened the door.

Inside, a man in his fifties sat on a sofa surrounded by five younger men.

Two were smoking, one sat at the far end of the sofa, and three with noticeable scars on their faces and arms stood nearby.

As the door swung open, all eyes fixed on Bryson.

“Mr.

Mitchell, you’ve finally come to see me.

What brings you here today?” the older man asked.

“I’m not one to beat around the bush,” Bryson replied as they walked in.

The door shut heavily behind them.

“I need you to identify some individuals,” Bryson said.

Dotson moved forward and placed several photographs on the table.

The man at the center, Toby Webster, looked over the photos with a frown.

“What have these individuals done to upset you?”

Bryson’s expression remained unchanged.

“I just need to know if they belong to your group.

”

Toby studied the pictures, his expression uncertain.

The five men around him eyed Bryson carefully, their looks filled with suspicion.

Bryson waited calmly for Toby’s answer.

After a pause, Toby finally said, “Yes, the people in these photos are part of my group.

Since Mr.

Mitchell has come here, it suggests they’ve caused some offense.

”

Toby looked at Bryson, unflustered, and added, “We’ve collaborated before, and you’re familiar with my policies.

If you’re here to demand that I hand them over, that’s not going to happen.

”

“These men are already detained by the police, so there’s no need for you to hand them over,” Bryson replied sharply.

Toby’s frown deepened, yet he held his silence.

His men suddenly became agitated.

“What’s that supposed to mean?”

Dotson was experienced in dealing with such situations.

He stepped aside to block their view of Bryson.
