Chapter 267 Reunion Exposed Her Struggle (Part One)

"Where are you right now?"

"Well I'm at the A city airport at the moment."

Becky sat in the VIP lounge in a reserved manner, with her impaired-vision, as she bit her lip nervously.

Her entire world was crumbling around her as darkness engulfed everything. For the entire duration,
her heart was anchored down with fear and hesitation, but the second her flight landed she was
relieved and calmer. Now after hearing Brian's voice, all her concerns seemed to have vanished
completely; she was now able to see the light in the end of the tunnel. "Brian, I miss you dearly and
craving to see you again."

Brian's heart sank the moment he heard her breaking voice. As far as he could remember, Becky had
never ever been so weak, vulnerable and sentimental in front of him. "Just wait in the airport. I'll come
pick you up."

"Okay, sure." Becky replied,"I'll be waiting for you."

Brian then ended the call and walked right outside; Tony followed behind him.

They took the exclusive elevator down to the parking space, then drove right to the airport in haste.

As the night grew darker gradually, the weather began to change as well. But the stars shone brightly
across the clear night sky, indicating a good weather tomorrow, in contrast to the snowy and hazy
weather back when Becky had left.

From the rear-view mirror, Tony cast a glance at Brian, then went back to focusing of driving there fast.
Now all his previous doubts and inhibitions had disappeared. No matter how special Molly's place in
Brian's heart was, she could never replace Becky.



"Pull the car over now!"

Suddenly Brian's cold order came loud and clear from the back seat. And just like he demanded, Tony
stopped the car abruptly. With a serious look, he glared at the car standing in their way.

And as Brian continued staring at the car parked across them without uttering a single word, Tony
instinctively remained silent and calm as well. They just sat in the car and looked outside in complete
silence.

"Mr. Brian Long, they seem to be quite patient." Tony suddenly broke the silent apprehensively.

With a stink eye at Tony, Brian slowly said,"It is quite a tricky and daunting task to deal with Howard.
Today... Maybe he won't act at all."

"Well why not?" Tony frowned as he asked with growing curiosity. "Justin gave them the clear order. As
soldiers, they are supposed to carry it out under any circumstance."

"Howard is no fool. He knows exactly what it is that he has to do." Then Brian turned his gaze to his
phone intending to call Harrow and ask him to pick up Becky from the airport. But just after he unlocked
the phone, he accidentally opened the photo album and saw the picture of their snowmen. In that
moment, he was lost as he stared at the two cute snowmen, he even forgot what he was supposed to
do next.

It was a long moment before Brian finally came back into reality and called Harrow, saying,"Go pick up
Becky at the airport. Tell her I got tied up with some emergency."

"Yes, sure I understand." Harrow responded; right when he was about to hang up he finally recalled
and asked,"After I pick up Becky, should I drop her off at the villa or hotel?"



"Well, Becky doesn't like staying at my place so..." Brian's voice expressed his clear dissatisfaction
towards Harrow's intrusive yet innocent question.

"OK." Harrow grinned,"I get it now."

Brian hung up, shot a hurried text to Becky informing her about the change in plans, and then got out of
the car.

Following that, Tony turned off the car's engine and walked behind Brian. They stood in front of the
car's headlight as it projected their shadows in an eerie manner.

The light made it hard for the people in the opposite car to recognize Brian. The man in the front
passenger seat stared at Brian with a determined expression and asked,"Howard, should we carry out
the command?"

Howard was seated in the center of the backseat with his night vision goggles on; he was clearly able
to see Brian who seemed calm and rather composed. He maintained his eyes on Brian since the
moment they stopped his car. Yet Brian did not do anything except for making a phone call, all the
while wearing the same expression. In fact, he acted like all of this was nothing to him, nothing at all.
His posture, expression and even attitude seemed to give the same idea.

"Well, I will go ahead and greet him." Howard said as he got out of the vehicle between everyone's
surprised looks. He walked straight up to Brian right until there was only a three-step distance between
them.

Brian and Howard were two poles opposite people. While Brian was arrogant and confident right down
to his bone, Howard was composed and reserved man owing to his military style. His sense of conceit
brought about by his own and his family's background was smartly concealed.



"I've been quite curious about you, Mr. Brian Long, the heavyweight of A City. And now that I have
finally gotten the opportunity to stand across you. I realize you indeed are an unique man." Howard
smiled and passed his judgment.

Brian too generously returned a smile, and slowly said,"Well, it's my honor... To be the main target
declared by new head of the Wolf SWAT Team."

Howard's attitude was slightly shaken, but he recovered faster than he reacted. He then replied,"Mr.
Brian Long, are you referring to me? Huh, who am I to confer such honor on you?"

Brian smiled calmly and answered,"You know exactly what I'm referring to. So, let's cut to the chase.
Tell your boss. I don't enjoy unnecessary commotion, but... I will not hesitate to do so if you cross my
path."

Brian then turned around with swag and was preparing to enter the car. But he suddenly stopped in his
tracks, looked back to Howard who stood still in the same spot, and added,"I know you are supposed
to carry out your boss' order under any cost. So I will wait for your arrival."

With a provocative and sly smile, he got into his car. Then Tony, after passing a cold look to Howard,
started the engine. "Mr. Brian Long, so are we heading to the airport now?" he asked sincerely.

"No, actually let's go to Molly's house." Brian ordered in a cold tone.

"Okay, will do." Tony was surprised at his answer, but still without revealing his reaction, he veered the
car for downtown area.
