NovelTrueChapter 1330:
“Her team’s here,” Ellis replied on Freya's behalf. “She cares about her squad.”
“Then givethe whole squad. Take anyone from my team you want in return.” Marlon was clearly eager to
snap up the talent.
Ellis still turned him down.
Marlon had no choice but to lay his cards on the table. “Fine. Then at least lend them tofor a few days. The
opposing team’s been provoking us, and | need to protect this unit's reputation.”
“Which team?” Ellis asked, his tone light, almost offhanded.
“Who else could it be?” Marlon flopped down beside him, speaking with casual irritation. “Brady Russell—the guy
who's made a habit of snatching our people.”
“Ill talk to Freya after training,” Ellis replied, his deep voice carrying a careless ease. “You decide the time.”
“How about the day after your training wraps up?” Marlon suggested, eager to settle scores. “You wouldn't

Marlon was at a loss for words. Ellis always knew how to jab right where it stung the most.
“Ahem.” He cleared his throat. “What if he tries to poach someone from your team this time?”
“Have you ever seen anyone manage to take someone from me?” Ellis answered coolly, his words cutting

“Let's raise the stakes for this competition,” Ellis said lazily, a glint flashing through his eyes. “Make them pay
dearly.”
“You trust your team that much?” Marlon asked, one eyebrow arching. He hadn't yet seen Freya at her best, and
the last competition with the security team had been a sneak attack. “What if she loses? Wouldn't we be the
ones taking the hit?”
Ellis’s eyes curved with a faint smirk. “She won't lose.”

Marlon exchanged a glance with Michael, both slightly stunned.
“Since you're that confident, I'll go handle negotiations,” Marlon said, trusting Ellis’s call. “I'll try to win back
what we lost last time.”
Ellis gave a nod.
“So does this mean I'm off the hook for my spar with Ellis?” Michael suddenly chimed in, eyes bright with hope.
Marlon stood, patted him on the shoulder with a knowing smile, and said, “Keep dreaming.”
Michael was crushed. His heart sank to his shoes.
