The room was suddenly alive with action as several burly men lunged forward!


    Their muscles, bursting with explosive strength, propelled their fists forward, veins bulging, as they charged at Noe and Palmer!


    Holding Gavin in one arm, Palmer coolly said, "Kid, remember to close your eyes."


    "Got it! Uncle, you better keep Auntie safe! Otherwise, I''ll never let you off the hook!"


    A smirk yed at the corner of Palmer''s lips. The kid was shaking with fear, yet he didn''t forget to throw a threat his way.


    Back to back with Palmer, Noe teased, "You''re holding the kid. Should I take a few off your hands?"


    “Underestimating me, fiancée? Let''s see who takes down more. Loser grants the winner a favor. How about it?"


    Without hesitation, Noe''s fist connected with the chest of one of the charging brutes.


    "You''re on, but you''re going to lose!"


    Kicking another attacker to the ground, Palmer dodged an iing blow, chuckling with Gavin in his arms, "My fiancée sure loves to win." "Can''t help it, I''m all about winning!"


    Noe was unabashed in her ambition. In her world, there was no room for defeat! Only by winning could they survive!


    These hired guns were no slouches, clearly costing a pretty penny to employ. Too bad, they were up against Palmer and Noe!


    Leaders of a top-secret assassinwork on the dark web, they didn''t just rely on their underlings. They themselves were born leaders, wielding the power to rule!


    Pulling a small knife from her boot, Noe''s de sang as it drew blood. Momentster, several assassinsy defeated at her feet!


    Simultaneously, Palmer brushed off his hands, locking eyes with Noe, a rogue smile on his lips.


    "Let''s call it a draw."


    As Gavin clung tightly to him, freeing up his hands to deal with the present threat, the bodies piled at Palmer''s feet matched those at Noe''s. Noe nced coolly at a frightened staff member. "No, including him, I win."


    The staff member was petrified! Who were these two?! These assassins had cost them millions to hire! And just like that, they were taken down? "No, no... please don''t kill me... I had nothing to do with this!"


    Noe''s gaze was icy, "Don''t worry, ordinary folks don''t die by my hand." The assassins had countless lives on their conscience. Dealing with them was justice served.


    This staff member at best was guilty of fraud and embezzlement, prison was where he belonged!


    Knocking the staff member unconscious, Noe handed him over to Erek who had burst in with a chainsaw to break down the door. "Take care of him. Make sure he talks."


    "You got it, boss! Interrogation''s our specialty!"


    Twenty minutester.


    Dressed in a customs uniform, the staff member was clinging to the police, sobbing and confessing his crimes, begging them to take him away! Under Ivan and Erek''s "warm hospitality," his mental defenses hadpletely crumbled.


    "I called the police! It''s too dangerous outside, please arrest me!"


    “Wah, I''m a monster, I''m a fraud, not really customs. Please, lock me up for my own safety!"


    The police were baffled! Since when did criminals turn themselves in, insisting on being jailed, practically begging for handcuffs? Whata


    world! ve

    Inside the warehouse.


    Kitai and Noe walked into the warehouse, with the manager, Braden, jogging up to them.


    "Boss, those kids just barged into the warehouse. Found one hiding in a fabric crate, thought it was fishy, so we locked them up.'' Azure''s warehouse was massive, with many sections.


    Noe nodded, "Any issues with that fabric?"


    "All clear. We used our new detection system, not a hitch."


    Their detection system, developed in coboration with Pris Star, guaranteed 98% uracy.


    "Our fabric can''t be contaminated! It''s all


    gh-end material, not a


    chance it traveled through Afriol


    missed disinfection!"  S

    Braden paused, "Plus, we dealt with invasive species clinging to the crates. Had to manually remove ten pounds of snails!" Ten pounds! And those things weren''t even edible! With such rigorous checks, their fabric was beyond reproach! Braden fumed, “And they thought they could shut us down, take everything, including the boss! Utterly preposterous!" Reaching the fabric storage room, Braden gestured, “These kids are up to no good. What normal kid ys at the docks?" Gavin chimed in, "What if they''re bad guys, messing up Auntie''s fabric?"All content is ? N0velDrama.Org.


    "No worries, I''ve got this."


    Unlocking the room, they found crates filled with fabric and embroidery supplies. Atop a crate sat a barefoot kid, swinging his legs. "About time someone showed up. Hehe, let us out!"


    Braden crossed his arms, "How''d you get in? What''s your y?"


    "We just wandered in, okay? If you don''t let us out, we''ll call the cops, say you''re traffickers, that you kidnapped us!"


    “Ha, you wouldn''t want to get arrested, right?"


    Braden was at his wit''s end, exasperated by these "kids."


    Noe frowned slightly. "The warehouse and crates are monitored. Whether you were kidnapped or snuck in, we''ll know."


    The boy holding two cameras boasted, "Too bad, we took your cameras down!"


    Braden stamped his foot in frustration. "Who sent you?"


    "Don''t worry about it, just let us go!"


    Noe shrugged, offering the kid a smile. "All the cameras are out. How do you think you''re going to keep yourself safe now?" Thinking a bunch of kids could just waltz out of here without a scratch was like believing in fairy tales!


    One of the kids swayed the


    smartphone in their hand. "This is a


    satellite


    Even if you jam the


    signals, it''s no use. I''m calling the


    cops right now!"


    Braden was speechless! These weren''t just any kids; they were like little demons!


    Noe let out a coldugh. "Go ahead, make the call. If you''re grown-up enough, you should be ready to face the consequences!"
