After all, she was the ringleader of a scam gang operating along the border.


    And not just any gang, but one that had teamed up with several local fraudsters to pull off their schemes. Where on earth did Noe dig up this information?


    Noe calmly stated, "Millie and Jasper have been digging around The Baker Group these past few days."


    Part of this information came from previous investigations by Pris Star, with the rest sent over by Millie just now!This is property ? N?velDrama.Org.


    Stirling''s eyes widened in disbelief.


    "What? Jasper''s gotten involved with a scam gang? Isn''t that dangerous?"


    Yasbel, standing next to Noe, had aplex expression.


    "Well, considering the main gig for our dynamic duo ofwyers - or, as we trante it, our super con artists..."


    Yasbel continued, "Millie once made a daring escape from Northstone and proved she''s not someone The Baker Group can easily handle." Stirling gasped, "Wait, escaped from where?"


    "Northstone?"


    Noe nodded, "Millie had some free time and since the Gagher family''s gem business was right on the border, she decided to take a look."


    Turns out, despite her harmless appearance, she bumped into the scam gang. Thinking she had nothing better to do, she joined them. But when she found out they were after her kidneys, she made a break for it, torching the Gagher''s gem factory on her way out and pinning it on the scam gang.


    Noe added, "Escaping from Northstone took her about eight or nine hours, no big deal. The Baker Group has a few of Xavier''s people inside, so Jasper''s safe too."


    Ulrich waved it off.


    "No need to worry about Jasper. He might be young, but he''s got more guts than Stirling."


    Stirling felt slighted.


    "So, I''m the only useless one in the family, huh!"


    Beckett exined, "Children of the Schnabel family must prove themselves through trials!"


    Stirling scratched his head, "Beckett has to revitalize the Rising Glory Group, Ulrich came back alive from his stint as a doctor without borders, facing all manner of crises while keeping his oath. Jasper went undercover near a drug lord, and it was Jasper who brought down the Toxic Monarch of Southeast Asia."


    "And Stirling?"


    Stirling shrugged, "I just happened to fall ill, didn''t do anything!"


    Stirling had beenid up at home for three months after an injury on set, followed by a nasty bout of the flu.


    And just when he learned that ra wasn''t the biological daughter of the Schnabel family, the whole family was in turmoil!


    Marcel spoke up, "Maybe we''ve been too harsh, expecting too much. The kids should just be safe and healthy. Whether they face the family''s trials is up to them from now on!"


    Because of this, Stirling became the only son not to undergo the family''s trials!


    Beckett shook his head.


    "Stirling, just keep your innocence. A son of the Schnabel family needs to stand on his own, but not necessarily rise from adversity."


    "But Jasper doesn''t need to worry, he can handle this!"


    Jasper might not have Millie''s fighting skills, but he''s got a sharp mind.


    Beckett calmly said, "When the Toxic Monarch was taken down, he was worried Jasper would be caught, even wanted Jasper as his heir."


    Yasbel marveled, "To be able to outsmart a drug lord like that! Boss, what''s in your family''s genes?"


    It seemed Stirling was among the few ''normal'' ones...


    With Northstone''s quick escape and the smartest son of the Schnabel family involved, The Baker Group should be trembling!


    Millie and Jasper sent back the internalyout of The Baker Group.


    The Schnabel family, looking over the map, fell into silence...


    Noe immediately shared the information with the border police.


    Yasbel said, "Boss, 7-yer has reached The Baker Group. Erek and his team are nearby, ready to move in. Should we give them a little surprise?"


    "Go for it, just keep it measured. Don''t kill anyone, and while you''re at it, spread the word about 7-yer being at The Baker Group. Let the other scam gangs turn on them. Maybe release a few folks from Lockhart Prison, there are plenty there who''ve had run-ins with 7-yer."


    "Got it! I''ve been wanting to get a piece of him for a while now!"


    Listening to Noe and Yasbel casually deciding to beat up 7-yer, the Schnabel family was stunned!


    Even Marcel couldn''t bring himself to talk about beating someone up like that.


    Stirling asked, "Noe, you''re nning to...?"


    Noe looked up, puzzled, "Can''t we fight? I won''t kill him."


    "It''s not that we can''t... but..."


    But they had never seen Noe in action before!


    Tristan worriedly said, "Sweetheart, you''re not nning to go there yourself, are you?"


    "Not nning to. Let 7-yer get his beating today, I''ll visit tomorrow."


    The family hadn''t even caught their breath from the first part of her statement before Noe dropped the second bombshell.


    The entire family was bbergasted!


    Noe analyzed with a cool head,


    "I''ve been to Lockhart Prison than once. It''s no big deal.


    Velet


    Pris Star''s base is el.


    7-yer will definitely


    Except for that brief encounter with 7-yer while visiting Marcel at Imperial West Hospital, where they


    el.ne


    yed chess and strategized together, they had both been intentionally avoiding each other ever since!


    It was a ssic case of when kings sh!


    Beckett immediately said, "I''ming with you!"


    Ulrich and Stirling also insisted on tagging along with Noe, their eyes filled with worry.


    "No need, I can handle it."


    Yasbel interjected, "What? Are you guys going on a suicide mission to 7-yer?"


    The Schnabel family boys, going to the Baker Group with their boss, it was hard to tell who would be protecting whom!


    The mental state of the Schnabel siblings was in shambles!


    Malvina gently tugged at Ulrich''s sleeve.


    She whispered, "Noe''s a badass, you know. She owns that underground fight club. She was the one who taught me how to box."


    Malvina had never told Ulrich about this before.


    Ulrich had been specting if some handsome young face from the fight club had been teaching Malvina how to box, knowing she was being coached by the fight club''s champion, he had been lurking around the club, waiting!


    vel.n


    He never found the guy, and Ulrich secretly harbored jealousy for quite some time.


    Now he realized he had been jealous of his own sister!


    Ulrich was bbergasted!


    His sister, who seemed so gentle and innocent, was actually a boxing champion?


    No wonder thest time they went back to their ancestral home with Noe, she dismantled the iron gate with one hand...


    Back then, Ulrich thought the gate was just poorly made!


    Now, he thought the only thing poorly made was his assumption...


    Malvina soothingly patted her dumbfounded husband, "Honey, I just wanted to tell you not to worry about Noe, she''s tougher than you think." Stirling''s mind raced, "Noe, so you taught Millie how to fight?"


    "Yeah."


    The entire family, thinking about Millie''sbat prowess, fell into a collective silence...


    Tristan, who was always a bit clueless and had an odd way of thinking, asked, "Could Palmer beat you, then?"


    Noe pondered seriously, "It would be a close match!"


    She had never officially sparred with Palmer, but if it came down to it, they might be evenly matched!


    Tristan''s world was rocked!


    "Palmer came out hardened from fighting on the front lines... If my daughter can stand toe to toe with him, did I somehow raise a genius?"
