Chapter 153 The War Starts Again

• DANTE’S POV
• “What the shit?” Headshot exclaims from beside me as the door to the auction hall opens up. We killed all of Veroncia’s men that were guarding this place and that is all thanks to Kent. This never would have been possible without him. If he only got men from the branch of the FBI where he worked, we would have never had enough men to do what we have done tonight because Veronica was indeed prepared for us and she did have a lot of guars surveying this place. But Kent called for other FBI units and he basically made this issue a national problem. I never expected it. Veronica never expected it. There might be some more men lurking around but if they haven’t come out yet, that means they are afraid to die.
• I scan the girls that just walked out of the building with guards behind them and my blood boils as I realize what Veronica is doing. Some of the girls don’t look a day over sixteen or eighteen and the others look about Adeline’s age. They all look like they’re drugged and Veronica is about to use them as human shields. She knows we won’t shoot at the girls and she’s using it against us.
