Chapter 1296: Chapter 645: Some People Have Gone Mad!_2

"No," Cold Ice shook her head. "I’ve been so fatigued lately that I don’t have much appetite. The food is actually quite good.

It’s probably because of my mood; I ate a bit more than usual. Our team members are too honest; they give me quite a lot."

"It’s good that you can eat," Sean Knight nodded, "Henry Burke and Wendell Martin have been captured, so your revenge has been exacted—they both will spend a lifetime working here. Of course, if you have any other thoughts, feel free to mention them."

"No need," Cold Ice tightened the blanket around her, appearing a bit cold; she said, "I can imagine their miserable state right now, and I don’t want to sicken myself. I’ll leave it be."

She looked up, her expression serious as she said:

"Boss, these two are just pawns, used by others. So you still have to be careful...

"Don’t worry," Sean Knight said with a smile, "I’m not a vegetarian. You should know that."

Cold Ice wanted to say more, but remembering Sean Knight’s past "achievements," she felt it was unnecessary to speak up. Sean Knight’s ability to show up at the right time, to emerge unscathed, and to have completely overwhelmed her former organization, Chrysanthemum Agency, already spoke volumes about his capabilities.

Now that Sean Knight clearly did not want to elaborate, she decided not to press further.

"What are your plans for the future?" asked Sean Knight. "Do you want to return home, or continue to stay here?"

"I’ll stay here," Cold Ice said. "While I know you are powerful, I also know those people are widespread, and I don’t know where I might encounter them. This place is relatively safer..."

"Actually, I have businesses in Afghanistan and the Middle East, and there are large groups of team members stationed there, which also makes them relatively safe," Sean Knight pondered and said, "Big Island is not bad either, but there are more tourists there, which might be a bit troublesome."

"Let’s just stay here," Cold Ice smiled and said, "Boss, actually you don’t need to do this. I’m just doing what an employee should do—

In reality, the biggest reason why I never betrayed in secret was that I felt they couldn’t win.

It’s not that I’m particularly noble, you really shouldn’t feel indebted to me. However, if you were to give me a Bonus, I would gladly accept it."

Hearing Cold Ice say that, Sean Knight felt relieved.

Although tormented by Henry Burke’s confinement, Cold Ice’s mindset was still good. He smiled and said:

"No problem, with your performance, an award of 100,000 dollars is no problem at all."

"Really?" Cold Ice’s eyes suddenly lit up, "Really?"

"Really," Sean Knight said, "It will be transferred to your account shortly. I’m giving you a month off; take some time to rest well. You can stay here or go out and wander..."

"I wouldn’t wander," Cold Ice immediately shook her head, "You’ve captured Henry Burke and Wendell Martin; their conspiracy must have been disrupted by you. There are other people behind them, and they definitely will seek revenge. I do not want to be cannon fodder; I’ll just stay here. I won’t go anywhere."

"As you wish," Sean Knight nodded. "Let the logistics team know whatever you need. If you have anything to discuss, you can talk to me directly, or you can talk to Elijah Hastings and the others if it’s inconvenient."

Although Cold Ice was not yet listed among those absolutely trusted, Sean Knight was certainly not stingy in rewarding a subordinate loyal to him.

He could tell from her words that everything Cold Ice said was true. She believed she would not fall, and she believed Henry Burke would not succeed—these were sincere beliefs. Although her intention was betting on him, her loyalty was enough for him.

Sean Knight even planned to later hand over the management of the farmland to Rainee Thomson and Cold Ice.

"Alright, you rest well; I’ll be going," he said.

"Boss, could you stay with me for a while?" Cold Ice suddenly asked, her tone carrying a bit of a plea, "I haven’t had a good sleep in a long time. But now, whenever I try to sleep, I have nightmares; I think..."

"Alright. Go to sleep, I’ll stay in this room," Sean Knight thought for a moment and said.

Giving so much to not betray him, she deserved some of his own effort in return.

Cold Ice smiled happily, jumped off the sofa barefoot, and quickly pulled Sean Knight by the sleeve into the inner room.

She lay down, covered herself with the blanket, and only when she saw Sean Knight sitting beside her did she close her eyes contentedly.

Within two minutes, Sean Knight was sure Cold Ice had fallen asleep.

He infused her with some spiritual energy to unblock her meridians and adjust internal organ issues.

This sleep lasted seven or eight hours for Cold Ice; when she awoke, she found her spirits greatly lifted, her previous exhaustion swept away, and she even felt hungry.

However, Sean Knight was nowhere to be seen, which left Cold Ice somewhat disappointed.

At the moment, Sean Knight was arranging a mission with Elijah Hastings and his team.

Big trouble had arisen!

Cold Ice had barely been asleep for two hours when Robert made a phone call.

"Sean, you need to hide. I won’t be contacting you for a while," Robert’s words stunned Sean Knight.

"What happened?" Sean Knight immediately asked.

"It’s the Sharde family behind all this; they control a huge Group worth over 1.7 trillion dollars!

This time, we wiped out one of their branch’s liquid funds, and they are very angry. They’ve already contacted several of the world’s top mercenary squads, planning to take revenge! And you, you are one of their targets!"
