    Ne gave a slight nod. How long has been following in


    Tive minutes. It’s been on our tail einge


    Shortly thereto, Noe’s phone buzzed with a new meseng


    After Mazar Hacked the suspicious vehicle, the ensoped a photo of ma teanga te and sent the


    vehicle owner’s details straight to


    “Lome? Was he supposed to be in the hospital


    Why was Lome’s car following her? Could it be he realized she was the one who performed that


    surgery on him?


    Included in the data sent was the car’s recent travel og Last night, it was parked at South Flora Storage


    just a stone’s throw from the underground fight club


    In all her years, this was the first time someone had tailed her


    “Boss, want me to shake off this car?”


    “No need. Let’s pretend we haven’t noticed. Since he’s suspicious, let’s not reveal any more than we


    need to.


    Palmer’s gaze tumed frosty


    someone trying to make a move on his fiancée right under his nose?


    “Do you know this Lome?


    on him as a favor”


    Noe shook her head. “Not really just happened to perform a surgery on hi


    Lome, the eldest grandson of the Richardson family, had taken over the bulk of the family’s enterprises,


    carving out a significant niche for himselt in the antique world at a young agel


    Now The Richardson holdings had doubled since Lucian’s time, all thanks to Lome’s efforts, Only,


    much of those holdings weren’t exactly above board far more than the legitimate side of the business!


    A chill flickered in Palmer’s eyes “With Lome’s sharpness, he probably suspects you were the one in


    the OR”


    Noelia shrugged. “So what if he suspects? I’m not about to admit anything“.


    y not? Afraid of the hassle?”


    “Why


    “Yeah I don’t know him well and I don’t want to get reported forcking medical credentials.”


    Palmer seemed taken aback, but then chuckled softly, the vibration reverberating through his chest and


    felt by Noe beside him.


    Was it that amusing? She’d only made an offhandment.


    Palmer knew it was all in jest, Lome was also familiar with the international warzone. If he knew that


    the surgeon was none other than the infamous Phantom Surgeon Lunans, he’d probably be over the


    moon.


    But Palmer was particrly fond of Noe’s attitude of keeping her distance from others!


    After he finishedughing, he looked up at Noe. “If my fiancée is worried about trouble, let me take


    care of it.”


    Palmer pulled out his phone and dialed a number


    Holding Noe’s hand, he coldly instructed the person on the other end, “Warn Lome. He’s


    overstepped”


    “Yes, Mr. Pock


    Meanwhile, Lome, upon receiving the message on his phone, raised an eyebrow in silent amusement.


    It seemed Palmer was also in that cac and his actions had been noticed.


    With Palmers keenness, it would’ve been odd if he hadn’t detected Lome’s arrangement.


    The car Lome had set up wasn’t meant to take action at this time. “Pull back”


    Lome put down his phone, a smirk og his lipt


    “Just making you aware of my presence has served my purpose. As for the rest…there’s no rush.”


    He would choose a better moment to make her awam of him!


    10-56


    The car following them soon received the order and exited the highway at an interchange.


    Mizar nced in the rear–view minor “Boss, they’re gone. That guy is a weird one. Why would he use


    his own car to tail you? Isn’t that Just exposing himself?


    Mizar couldn’t fathom this logic!

    Palmer frowned, “Lome’s retum at this time is abnormal. He’s probably here for the nephrite market.”


    Noe spread her hands nonchntly. “Whatever


    Whatever Lome was up to didn’t concern her, but if he Intended to peddle subpar nephrite under the


    guise of Pris Star, he’d surely pay the price!


    Elora’s call came through on Noe’s phone. “Noe, you know Lome, right? He asked me for your


    contact info, but I turned him down


    Lome had approached ra to get Noe’s number, which ra refused without a second thought.


    “We’re not close. Who knows what he’s up tol


    Noe took the call without hiding from Palmer, who remarked upon hearing. “Elora, isn’t Lome sort of


    your brother too?

    “Brother? No offense, but thest thing I’m short on is brothers! Including the Pocks, I’m practically


    swimming in them–almost ten. and Mr. Pock, you’re like one too. Just make sure you take good care


    of my little sister, or one of these days, I’ll be short a brother! Having plenty of brothers is nice, losing a


    couple wouldn’t hurt.”


    Anyone who wanted to get close to her little sister had to get past her first!


    To ra, Noe was just a sweet, gentle, innocent, and adorable girl. Without the betrothal agreement,


    Palmer stood little chance of getting close to her, ra considered her sister paramount, rendering


    these once–seen so–called brothers inconsequential!


    Even if Lome had no ulterior motives, ra saw no need for him to obtain contact details without her


    mediation.


    ra’s threat to Palmer sounded like a jest, and he did not take her too seriously “Sure, I’ll take good


    care of Noe.”


    The entire Schnabel family tended to treat Noe like a child, even though she was more than capable


    of looking after herself. Even for such small matters, ra would call to inform her, which always made


    Noe feel a warm current in her heart.


    Outside the airport terminal, Mizar was ushering an elderly man with youthful vigor into the car.


    Master Rainer chuckled softly as he gazed at Noe and Palmer, seated in the back row. “Noe, aren’t


    you going to introduce me?”


    “You probably already did your homework when you came here.”


    “It’s not the same. An introduction from you carries a different weight than my own investigations.”


    Ever since these old timers had leamed about Noe’s fiancé, they had turned over every stone to dig


    up dirt on Palmer. To their surprise, thed seemed decent, a good egg.


    With a resigned sigh, Noe made the introductions. “This is Palmer, and this is my mentor, Master


    Rainer”


    Master Rainer beamed with an air of cultured charm. “A fellow assassinator like Noe, I see. Sporting


    some fresh scars, too. You’ve certainly made some noise taking down the Cerulean Whale–a hefty


    feat”


    The Cerulean Whale, notorious as the third–ranking assassin organization on the deep–web, had been


    major news after Palmer had left its leaders with nothing but their titles to cling to, a tale that had


    echoed across the entire underworld.


    Palmer’s lips twitched into a half–smile. “I can’t hide anything from you.”


    Palmer targeting the Cerulean Whale was no surprise to Noe. The fact that folks from the Westwood


    Mercenary Corps could cross borders had a lot to do with the Cerulean Whale. And with Palmer having


    been wounded at the South Flora Storage, there was no way he would let that score go unsettled!


    “Heh, you’re as ruthless as Noe, indeed. But there’s something else I’m rather curious about,” Master


    Rainer said, his voice suddenlyced with caution and probing intent.


    The temperature in the car seemed to drop a few degrees at his words.


    “I’m quite intrigued, what exactly were you after in the ruins of Pris Star?”
