"What about the AI laboratory?" continued Han tersely.

Targeted by both an assassin organization and an AI laboratory, Leah could be in danger. Han just needed to find out the enemies lurking in the dark.

"Boss, we have implemented an embargo on that laboratory. But as you know, there are other ways to circumvent the measure. Both parties seem to be targeting Mrs. Howard. People close to her might be in danger too. Should we put them under our protection?"

"See to it that it's done. I'll ask Serena to move to my villa as well so that we can look after all of them."

Serene moved into Han's villa the next day. She was exhilarated to spend more time with her best friend. After unpacking her luggage, Serena hugged Leah.

"Woohoo, Sarah! We can now have girls talk at night again."

The nearby Han lifted his eyebrows. At night, huh?

But before he could talk, Ben was shoved from the back. His body crashed onto the delicate metal door, producing a loud thud. The sound concerned Serene but she couldn't bring herself to say something.

"How dare you two become a couple!" Susan stormed in.

Han's personal guards weren't really trying to block Susan because she wasn't an enemy per se. Leah

was surprised to see Susan here.

"How did you come here, Ms. Victor?"

The Victoria Precinct was a high-end residential area. No one could enter easily without a visitor pass. But Leah quickly got her answer when Susan waved her keys.

"Sarah, I bought a villa here too. Just close to this place. If you ever want to leave this man, you can come to me," invited Susan.

Leah didn't dare to say yes. Not when Han was dissecting her with his eyes. "It's okay. I can stay here. Carlotta is used to this place too."

Leah shouldn't involve her daughter but gosh, Carlotta could be a great shield sometimes. Susan didn't say anything. She put the silver bracelet on Leah's wrist.

"My family found something about the ancient organization. It's called Ravensong, an assassin guild that dated way back. My family has a long history too. We have collected all sorts of curiosities. The pill inside the bell of the bracelet can cure any poison from Ravensong."

Susan's words hung heavy on everyone's mind. Caressing the cold silver bracelet on her wrist, Leah spoke gently, "What about you? You gave me such an important thing."

"I just want you to be safe." Susan ruffled Leah's hair.

Han was green with jealousy. He beckoned Ben to look into Ravensong and proceeded to grab Leah

by her wrist.

"Don't lose it," Han uttered reluctantly.

He made it clear that he did not like this gesture from Susan. But since it could protect Leah, Han was willing to concede.

"All right," replied Leah timidly.

Han had changed a lot. Back then, he would never allow anyone to touch his Leah.

Susan made a point to squeeze between the loving couple. "Sarah, you should thank me. If I ever invite you to my house for a meal, don't bring your plus-one with you."

Leah chuckled at Susan's word choice. "Sure. Anyhow, do you know why Ravensong is targeting me?"

"No idea. They have been embroiled in an in-fighting recently. They broke their own rules. I don't know why they target you. What I know is that they are watching you. If they catch you all alone, they will take your life."

Now that gave Leah an idea. "I can be the bait."

"It's too risky," Han dismissed Leah's suggestion. He knew Leah had become more independent. But just this once, he hoped she could rely on him, instead of risking her own life. "You only have one life, Leah."

Leah knew Han had her best interest in mind, but she wasn't one to stand still and do nothing. "I'll be fine. Ms. Victor just gave me the antidote. Why don't we strike preemptively?"

The calm Leah demonstrated here was in sharp contrast to the heavy storm outside. It was no use to persuade her otherwise.

Han finally conceded after a long pause. "But we'll prioritize your safety with a plan."

Leah was grateful for Han's understanding. "Okay."

The group spent the entire afternoon devising the plan.

"We'll execute the plan tomorrow morning. I'll set up the venue now." Susan left.

Han also planned to go to his office with Ben. "Rest now, Leah. I'll handle some work first."

Leah and Serena were left alone in the room. Noticing that her best friend could not take her eyes off Ben, Leah jested, "Still worried about Ben? You should have cared for him after he was shoved to the door."

Serena was called out. "What? I'm not into him. Why should I care?"

"Oh?" Leah mocked. "But I wasn't asking if you're into him..."

"S-A-R-A-H! Don't pull a Han on me," yelled Serena, abashed.

Then, Leah got a text from her secretary.

"Ms. White, the royal family of Fetriybia just announced that any companies working with us cannot trade or invest in other entities on Veyris."
