    Zane''s words shocked Carl. He was d that Nicole had managed to secure the crest before anybody


    else. Otherwise, the consequences would be unfathomable.


    "Looks like we''ve got to find out who attacked Nicole and robbed us of the Braves. We can only start


    striking back after we''ve figured their intentions out," he said.


    Jared''s gaze was vengeful. He would not spare a single soul who had been involved in the assault


    against Nicole. In fact, he would chop the masked man in ck into a million pieces if he ever found


    out who he was.


    "Yeah, Uncle Zane. You should assemble a team to retrieve the Braves as soon as possible," she said.


    The technology used in Braves were developed by the Turmann family. Serious trouble would arise if


    someone else managed to reverse engineer it.


    "I already did that, but that ship disappeared right after it had arrived at the open sea. They destroyed


    the tracking device too, so it''s not working anymore," Zane said with a look of dismay.


    However, as troubled as he was, he stood up and continued anyway. "Just leave it to me. You''re now


    the owner of the crest, and the entire organization will be under yourmand. All you need to do is


    keep yourself safe."


    Carl looked at Nicole anxiously. "You''ll only be safe after we''ve captured and neutralized our


    enemies..."


    Jared''s gaze swept across Carl. "Worry for yourself. I''ll protect her."


    Jared was eager to find out who was bold enough to mess with him and his loved ones.


    Zane then eyed Jared with a look of concern. "Our top priority now is to bring Nicole back to your


    territory as soon as possible. After all, it''ll be difficult for a dragon to crush a snake in its own domain.


    I''m afraid that you''re in danger too.


    Indeed, Jared was still not in his best of health and above anything, he needed rest.


    "Yeah. We''ll be on our way in an hour," Jared replied.


    His men were already waiting. Zane did not have to remind him of that at all.


    Upon knowing that all of the arrangements had been made, Zane felt relieved. "I''ll leave her to you if


    that''s the case."


    Clearly, Nicole was like a daughter to Zane, as he had never been so worried for a person before.


    "Sure." Jared nodded, assuring Zane that Nicole would be safe under his wing with the look of


    determination in his eyes.

    Feeling at ease now, Zane said, "Please send me regards to your grandpa."


    "I will," Jared finished.


    After that, Zane turned around and left the ward.


    Carl looked at Nicole yfully after he saw how downcast Zane was when he left the room. "Uncle


    Zane doesn''t dare to give you any orders anymore. Come to think of it, you''re not only the owner of the


    crest. You''ll soon be Uncle Zane''s superior too."


    Nicole rolled her eyes at him. "Don''t spout that kind of hogwash. Uncle


    Zane will beat you up if he hears it."


    Carl burst into a gale ofughter, as his mood had significantly improved after Nicole had woken up. "I


    don''t care about anything but you. I have nothing to worry about as long as you''re safe."


    His gaze looked so sincere, that it reminded Nicole of the time when he got dragged away while he was


    professing his love to her. And just like that, things took a romantic turn in the room.


    However, Carl felt a sudden chill running down his spine as he saw Jared’s sharp gaze directed at him


    through his periphery.


    Carl immediately fell silent. He felt that Jared''s presence was so oppressive that it was practically


    suffocating him...
