Chapter 364: Chapter 364: Mission Roster
"You? No way, you don’t have experience in this area. If you encounter any danger, it won’t be good."
Owen Shaw immediately refuted July Quinn.
July Quinn was his goddess; he couldn’t possibly watch her walk into certain death.
Furthermore, July Quinn was the benefactor who saved his grandfather and his mother.
Now, his grandfather and mother constantly talk about July Quinn, and anything good, whether food or supplies, they’d save a share for her, treating her better than him, their own flesh and blood.
Should his grandfather and mother find out he sent July Quinn on such a dangerous mission, wouldn’t they skin him alive?
"Listen, you should stay in the hospital. Don’t you still have two patients to handle today?"
But July Quinn paid no attention to his refusal.
"I’ve already handled those two patients."
After tasting a few bites of instant noodles, she added, "This tastes pretty good, bring me two more boxes when we set off."
"July, didn’t you hear what I said? This task is truly dangerous. If anything happens to you, how would I explain it to my grandfather and mother?"
More importantly, to himself!
It’s just that he’s embarrassed to say it out loud.
"Shut up. Precisely because this mission is dangerous, if we want to avoid casualties, only I can go."
July Quinn suddenly put down the instant noodles and looked at Owen Shaw with a serious expression.
Others have relatives.
If they lose their lives, their relatives would grieve, and they’d scream and cry.
But July Quinn is different; she has no relatives left.
Even her only husband questions her character.
So, she feels that even if something happens to her, it wouldn’t affect others as much as it might.
Of course, she’d also try her best to save her own life.
Even without relatives, the taste of instant noodles is great; she wants to try more new flavors.
The broth from the noodles stimulated her taste buds, July Quinn squinted her eyes and continued speaking.
"Ford is ruthless. To avoid prison, he’ll definitely make a move."
Owen Shaw was stunned.
This escorting of Darren belonged to an S-level task from above.
Therefore, Darren’s information and the case he was involved in were classified.
Owen Shaw had only been informed about Darren’s involvement in Ford’s case because he received the assigned task.
But July Quinn had just arrived at the hospital and hadn’t seen any classified material—how could she know the escort involved Ford?
Moreover, the way she mentioned Ford just now sounded like she knew him well.
Yet Ford was the head of one of Aethelgard’s top four families; how could July Quinn, who had spent so many years in the countryside, know Ford?
Just as Owen Shaw was racking his brains, July Quinn finished the instant noodles.
"Just send one more person to assist me; I can handle the rest myself."
In the end, Owen Shaw couldn’t argue with July Quinn and decided to join the task himself.
His reasoning was that if real danger occurred, at least he could stand in front of July Quinn to protect her.
Indeed, up to this point, Owen Shaw still believed July Quinn was a delicate girl who would surely cry if she faced those gun-wielding, ruthless killers.
So, at this moment, he had to protect her well.
Only he didn’t know yet that once the mission was complete, he’d see the one truly needing protection was himself.

Meanwhile, Kyle Keaton received a phone call.
"Borrow our Vanguard War General?"
Yes, the Keaton Family possessed an extraordinarily skilled elite team.
So occasionally, Aphelion would borrow the Keaton Family’s team to avoid political implications.
Kyle Keaton had grown accustomed to this.
"Sure, send the escort list and details over for me to see."
As usual, Kyle Keaton would briefly check what’s involved in the operation.
He couldn’t have expected to see July Quinn’s name in this data...
