Brent had a stern look on his face.
"Now that Mr. Miller's identity is exposed, the various forces that had grudges against him would pounce on him like hungry wolves to get revenge.
"The incident last night is one example. The organization behind those people was the central figure in Shadow Valley ten years ago.
"They sent suicide squads who weren't afraid of death and were trying to drag Mr. Miller down even if it cost them their lives."
When Olivia heard that, she felt some lingering fear. "Then he's in great danger now, right?"
"It's relatively safe here, but as soon as he leaves the military area, there will be danger everywhere. Also, I found out on the dark web that someone had posted an anonymous bounty for Mr. Miller.
"If anyone killed him, they would get a reward of 1 billion dollars. A high-reward bounty like that would usually attract private assassins and mercenaries.
"After all, great rewards attract brave souls."
As if he were an outsider, Ethan advised Olivia, "In the past, I kept you because I could protect you. But now, being by my side is the most dangerous place you can be. You have to leave."
He was protecting her with his life, but he was convincing Olivia to leave.
Olivia had already made up her mind.
"I'll leave, but not now. I'll leave after the wounds on your back have healed."
"Liv, you …" Ethan thought that she would leave without turning back after hearing the truth, but unexpectedly, she chose to stay.
"Don't get the wrong idea. Those are two different things. I never forgot that you hurt me before, but I also admit that you got hurt because of me."
"But—"
"Brent said that it's safe here, right? It should be fine if I stay here for a few days, yes?"
Ethan was pleasantly surprised. "Of course. I'm glad you can stay behind at times like this."
Noticing the odd atmosphere between the two, Brent knew better than to hang around.
He hastily left.
"Mr. Miller, I've already arranged everything for Master Zack and Ms. Alicia.
"I've also spared some of those men, so you can deal with them when you've gotten better. Please rest for now."
