Chapter 274

This was the moment Stephen had been waiting for. James had finally fallen into his hands, and now he had the chance to capture James and his entire network in one sweep. Outside, Stephen's men were lying in wait—not just snipers, but also mercenaries he had urgently brought back from abroad the night before. When Stephen arrived earlier, he had carefully assessed the situation. Just as he had anticipated, James had very few people left to rely on in Orkford. The men present were basically all the forces James had left in the country. According to the rescue plan Stephen had devised the night before, if everything went smoothly, he could save Tessa while simultaneously capturing James and his remaining operatives in Orkford. However, the plan required Stephen to take a tremendous risk. If it failed, neither he nor Tessa would make it out alive. Success was within reach, but something unexpected happened. Stephen hadn't anticipated that James would send someone to capture Seline.
