Chapter 1158: Chapter 1150: Continuing the Hunt for the Culprit 6

The two talked for a while, clarifying the causes and consequences.

Aiden Shaw had a car accident abroad and then experienced a medical incident in the hospital upon returning home.

As soon as they finished speaking, someone knocked on the door.

A deep, slightly hoarse voice came from outside: "Sect Leader."

In the silence, a powerful voice suddenly attracted Tiana Thorne’s attention, and she looked towards the door, seeing only a silhouette.

She looked at Isaac Ford with confusion in her eyes, asking about who he had brought.

Isaac Ford said mildly: "Come in."

The person outside twisted the door open and came in. He was tall, about 1.85 meters, and the door frame appeared narrow in contrast to his height.

Wearing camouflage clothing, gloves on his hands, with a crew-cut, his features were correct yet extremely cold.

His deep black eyes were filled with detachment, and his gaze only settled on Isaac Ford, yet there was immense respect and loyalty in his eyes.

He was a man with a lot of character.

He lowered his eyes: "Why did the Sect Leader call me here?"

Isaac Ford looked at Tiana Thorne and introduced, "This is my sister, Tiana Thorne. Get to know her, Caleb Sterling."

Caleb Sterling shifted his gaze to Tiana Thorne and nodded politely: "Hello, Miss Thorne."

Tiana Thorne responded amiably: "Hello, Brother Caleb."

Isaac Ford briefly said, "Sister, Caleb is an outstanding figure, with a background as a special forces soldier, having earned many honors. He’s a new friend I made recently, and I wanted to introduce him to you."

From what he said, Tiana Thorne understood Isaac Ford’s intention but looked at Caleb Sterling, who was expressionless, cold and detached. When not talking to Isaac Ford, he felt as cold as ice, with his gaze never resting on her.

It showed that there was some arrogance in his bones, and he wouldn’t easily yield to a woman.

With a special forces background and countless achievements, whether in external conditions or internal qualities, he had the capital for arrogance.

Looking at his strong physique, broad palms, with many calluses on his fingertips, he seemed like an old soldier who had been through the battlefield.

Yet he was very young.

Having experienced battlefield action at his age, being labeled as someone formidable by Isaac Ford must mean he had some extraordinary attributes.

"Sixth brother, do you mean to have Caleb follow me?" Tiana Thorne asked.

"Yes, he’s skilled and can protect you by your side." Isaac Ford was concerned about her safety, so he brought Caleb over to stay with her: "With him around, I feel assured."

"Understood." Tiana Thorne gazed at Caleb Sterling, extending her hand to him: "Brother Caleb, please take care of me from now on."

Caleb Sterling seemed to be unaware that he had come here to protect Tiana Thorne, thinking instead that it was some urgent task.

Upon hearing Isaac Ford introduce him to Tiana Thorne, he frowned slightly, pressed his lips, his demeanor becoming even colder, indifferent.

Seeing Tiana Thorne’s extended hand, he slightly nodded: "The task assigned by the Sect Leader is my responsibility, Miss Thorne, you don’t need to be so formal."

He remained distant, not shaking hands with her.

Evidently, their first meeting left Caleb Sterling with a less than favorable impression of Tiana Thorne.

Perhaps because she was a woman, with no physical strength, not enough for him to obey.

Perhaps the tasks Caleb usually handled were not as relaxed as protecting her.

Somewhat a waste of talent.

No matter Caleb Sterling’s sentiments upon arriving to protect her, how he felt, or his attitude toward her, she could accept it.

She did not dislike it; instead, she found him to be very intriguing, quite likable.

After all, even lions need to be tamed, and a formidable lion that can be tamed is advantageous and harmless.
