Divorced The True Heiress Gets It All novel Chapter 688

Chapter 688

“The Arressto trio sneaking in was bad enough, but how did my brother end up coming too?’ Aria thought, exasperated.

Aria stared blankly toward the cave entrance, momentarily distracted. Wade noticed and asked, “What’s wrong? Do you

know someone from the Blood Association?”

‘I know every one of them,’ Aria thought. She watched the five enter the cave one by one and whispered, “Except for Black Rose, the rest aren’t with the Blood Association.”

Wade frowned. “So many factions are after the Solemnity Guild now?”

“Three are from Arressto,” Aria paused briefly, “and the other one is my brother.”

Wade raised an eyebrow. “Your brother again? Why do you Saxons keep showing up here? Is he with Arressto too?”

“No, he isn’t trained,” Aria replied.

Wade almost gave a thumbs-up. “Can’t fight his way out of a paper bag, yet he dares to break into Mount Soultaker. You Saxons really have guts.”

“They’re not with the Wolfshade Syndicate,” Aria clarified.

Wade warned, “Our reinforcements are almost here. When the shooting starts, if Caleb gets caught in the crossfire…”

“He won’t,” Aria replied with conviction. “He can protect himself.”

Caleb might not have had any professional training, but he knew the basics of self-defense. Besides, with Owen around, she wasn’t worried about Caleb’s safety.

Scenes this brutal are the last thing my brother should ever have to witness,’ Aria thought, a pang of guilt twisting in her chest.

Inside the cave, Tyree sized up Black Rose’s group with a sneer. “The Blood Association only sent five?”

Black Rose replied coldly, “The main force takes the main route. Five others provide perimeter support to prevent the Solemnity Guild from flanking us.”

Tyree nodded coldly. “The Wolfshade Syndicate only wants Russell’s head. As for those twelve from the Solemnity Guild, they’re your problem now.”

Upon hearing this, the other members instinctively turned toward Russell, their palms slick with cold sweat.

Tyree kept his inner circle safe, but sent the other members to the front as cannon fodder. He was clearly sending us to our deaths.

The group seethed in silent fury until they crossed paths with Russell. He didn’t even have to utter a single word; everyone instantly switched sides,

Just like that, they quietly ushered Russell inside while secretly gathering the other members.

At that moment, Black Rose lifted her chin defiantly and scoffed, “A mere twelve? Leave them to us. We’ll handle it.”

Ronan warned, “Echohawk is here, too.”

“What?” Black Rose gasped, startled. Her eyes instinctively darted to Caleb before she quickly composed herself. “So what? I

can handle Echohawk.”

‘Anyway, there’s no way I’d actually fight Echohawk,’ Black Rose thought to herself.

Ronan frowned, troubled by the Blood Association’s arrogance. “Besides Echohawk, Wade is here too. You’d better watch your backs.”

“Alright, whatever,” Black Rose waved him off. “When do we move?”

“In ten minutes,” Ronan replied.

Gripping his pistol, Caleb maintained watch until a deliberate nudge against his shin broke his focus. He turned sharply, locking eyes with a familiar figure. It was Owen. Caleb recognized him at a glance.

Ronan noticed where Caleb was looking and explained, “That’s Echohawk’s boyfriend. We can use him as leverage if

needed.”

Caleb gave a slight nod. “Understood.”

“Outer members, you are the vanguard. And you should assist the Blood Association!” Tyree barked coldly. The other members seethed with silent fury but had no choice except to comply.

Caleb yanked Owen to the front. As Owen discreetly worked on loosening his bonds, he whispered, “Caleb, mind easing up bit?”

Caleb said deadpan, “You’re my captive now. Behave. Don’t get ahead of yourself.”

Tyree was a dead man walking tonight. Russell wouldn’t let such a golden opportunity slip through his fingers.

Owen decided to stay out of the fight and simply focus on protecting Caleb. He simply let Caleb pull him along.
