Chapter 220 - Lure



"What?" The three people looked at each other bewildered. They couldn't stop themselves from being shocked listening to Ethan's words. Never had they expected to have quislings in the army. This was all new to them, but not for the soldiers.

"Yes," Ethan answered and took a close look at them to see if anybody was behaving abnormally. But all he found was the genuine shock, not the ones he would get when somebody got caught while doing a crime. "This is what I wanted to talk to you about. Shocked?"

"I guess so," Ian replied, his eyes still wide and confused.

"I want you to be aware of the people around you. Nobody knows who those betrayers are, not even me. Those people are targeting their own squad, killing and harming the other soldiers. We never know if they would come after you so that they could stop our honest men from getting treated. So, it's best if you stay alert at all times."

"We will. Thank you for informing us." Ian was grateful to Ethan for deciding to tell this truth to them. It was a huge risk Ethan had taken and he could deduce from his actions what he had in mind. Ian had a hunch that this was a test he was taking to see if they were working against the country. He did not have anything to worry about as he had complete trust in his employees.

"Dr. Davis, now that you are commanding your staff members, it would be best if you could warn them in a subtle way so as to not alert our enemies. I trust you on that."

Ethan had heard that Ian was in charge of the medical team. So, he had given him the responsibility to do it. He also had other intentions in doing so.

"Yes, Major. I understand."

"Another thing," Ethan spoke after a few seconds.

Aria and Stuart looked at him keenly while Ian, who was deep his thought, raised his eyes to meets Ethan's scrutinizing gaze.

"Does anybody among you three know how to yield a gun?" Ethan's question took the three by surprise again. This time even Ian was perplexed. He had no idea what the man had in mind. Ethan gave Kevin a knowing look again and his eyes went back to three people in front of him.

"I don't," Aria opened her mouth for the first time since she had entered the office.

"Me neither." Stuart followed suit.

Contrary to them, Ian said something which surprised everyone including Ethan. "I do. I know how to operate a gun." Ian knew how to use a gun. He had learned it when he had started his training under his mentor. It was a must for them to know these basic things if they were related to the underworld. Ian even had a license with him and also had a gun in his house, locked safely away from other people's reach.

"You do?" Ethan asked dubiously. He started to get suspicious of the man now.

"Yes, I do. I even have a licensed gun at home," Ian stated honestly. There was nothing wrong with it and he was not a traitor. So, he had nothing to be scared of. He was not at fault.

"How?"

"I took classes."

"Is it?" Ethan narrowed his eyes to see if he could get anything out of Ian or his face. But the man was as calm as ever. There was no change in his expressions whatsoever and this rendered Ethan a little speechless. He could not decide if Ian was being honest or just manipulative.

"Yes."

"That's great then," Ethan said after some time. He had to keep a close eye on this man personally. "We will station some soldiers around you to keep you safe. So, you will not have to worry about your safety."

"I'll believe you on that. Thank you." Ian said gratefully. "Anything else?"

"Yes. Do you have any problems here? Do you have anything you require? If you do, please do tell me, or any of us for that matter. We will try to help you as best as we can."

"We sure will," Aria said and Stuart nodded, agreeing with her.

"We will be happy to help you. I think that's all for now. Thank you for your cooperation." Ethan's gaze was fixed on the three people as they left the office one by one.

"What are you thinking, Major?" Kevin questioned, seeing Ethan in staring blankly at the entrance.

"The three people are innocent."

"Are you sure, Sir? How about Dr, Davis? It's unusual that he knows how to yield a gun."

"It is unusual, but not uncommon. He is innocent, else he would not have told us about it."

"What if it's his ploy to distract us?"

"No, he seems trustworthy. Also, I have read some things about him. He is a great doctor and he is a good friend of Noah's. I highly doubt that Noah would become his friend if his character was bad. So, I have nothing to worry about."

"Noah? Who is he?" Kevin asked in confusion. He had heard the name before, but he could not connect it to any face he was familiar with.

"Have you heard about the Carter family?"

"The one that has dominated the country's business and economy?"

"Yes. Noah Allen Carter. He is one who is leading the business empire currently. He is a good man and I don't think his best friend would be any different."

"Hmm. That does sound feasible." Kevin agreed after hearing Ethan's analysis. "What about the girl and the other boy?"

"Oh, they are as innocent as lambs. They are pure and trustworthy." Ethan replied at once. Though he was not completely sure, he could not sense any danger from them. They looked completely harmless.

"If you say so, Major. What do we do next?"

"We are going to hunt our next prey." Ethan took out the two-way radio he had got a hold on when he had killed the traitor. He then pressed a button and asked Kevin to relay a message to come and meet them. Since the person to whom the radio belonged to was dead and nobody knew about it, it was easy for them to lure his teammates. Before that, he didn't forget to cover the speaker with a tissue so as to mask Kevin's voice.

After the message was conveyed, the four people in the group left the office and went to the designated area where they had asked to meet the guy. It was time to chop off another bastard's head.
