Chapter 338
Lea’s eyelashes fluttered. She turned around and turned on the lamp on the table. Then she unlocked the drawer with her fingerprint, took out a document, and handed it to Alfred.
It was the DNA test results for herself, Willow, Christian, and Ewan, which she had previously requested Lorrand to perform.
Alfred frowned and opened the document under the desk lamp’s light, and his gaze quickly focused.
Just as he had guessed, Joey was indeed related to Lea by blood, making him the only relative she currently knew of.
“The people who attacked Joey are all top–notch experts,” Lea said.
Alfred nodded as he was aware of that.
If Norman hadn’t rushed over back then, Lorrand and the others wouldn’t have been able to escape.
Joey wasn’t just injured. He was poisoned by a virus,” Lea concluded.
To ensure a guaranteed kill, the Rizzo family had arranged a double assassination.
Lea continued, “If I hadn’t stepped in, he would have died.”
Joey was severely injured in the attack and became a vegetable. After more than a year of treatment in the hospital, he died. No one would discover the virus and that the Rizzo family was behind it.
At this point, Alfred completely understood that the real target of the Rizzo family was Lea.
“Lea…” Alfred’s tone was growing more serious.
“I’ve just found out about this. I know too little and haven’t prepared for it. I don’t want you to be exposed in danger,” Lea explained, understanding why he was upset.
“Alfred, your safety is more important than anything.” She wrapped her arms around his neck again and said seriously.
Alfred’s throat tightened. Thinking about the things he couldn’t tell her, he had no intention of blaming her. His eyes turned red. All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.
“Lea, your safety is also more important to me than anything.” Alfred caressed her cheek and said, “You need to remember that, okay?”
They shared the same feelings and understood each other completely. She nodded.
“Joey and I have our backgrounds tied to the National Military Aviation Research Center, but I don’t understand the- connection to the Rizzo family. One thing is certain though. They want to kill us,” Lea said.
A trace of worry flashed in her eyes. Even though it was a matter of life and death, she didn’t know why they were targeting her.
Alfred looked at her closely. Over the past six months, she had grown a lot. Other than her height, her facial features and shape had changed significantly. Her features had become more refined. Her nose seemed to be more prominent, and the corners of her eyes had widened. She looked more exquisite and radiant.
Her eyes were deep and alluring, making his heart flutter.
“They are our mortal enemies,” Alfred said. His eyes were as deep as a bottomless abyss that devoured everything.

He would destroy anyone who threatened Lea’s life.
Lea was stunned for a moment and quickly got hold of herself.
“Buzz- Suddenly, her phone rang.
Lea’s heart sank. A call in the dead of night surely meant something had gone wrong.
She got up and picked up the phone on the desk.
Quicksilver’s voice was heard. “Lea, it’s me.” He was breathing heavily, and his anxious voice was filled with anxiety and despair. “We’ve been attacked! I just escaped from the building, but I might not be able to shake them off…”
Lea’s pupils constricted. “Quicksilver, activate the drone. We’ll come to get you.”
“Oh, okay.” Quicksilver was focused on running for his life. His mind was in tumult, so he could only listen to her.
Lea continued, “Throw away your phone and try to get to a place with more people.”
“Got it,” answered Quicksilver.
After hanging up, Lea immediately dialed another number.
Dark Union’s base was located in a commercial building near the underground fighting arena. Lea had planned to visit long ago but had been held up by other matters.
Unexpectedly, their base had been attacked.
Lea first called Ralph who was in charge of the security of the boxing arena along with his security team. Yannis was recuperating in the hospital and couldn’t be there, but he had been managing security on–site.
Lea gave Ralph the address and asked him to bring everyone to the base to check the situation.
Then, she called Jason. “Jason, inform Vincent and Luke to mobilize everyone. Set off now. I’ll send you the address right away.”
After hanging up, she quickly took a brand–new phone from the drawer, turned it on, and connected it to the drone. Soon, the target location appeared on the screen.
Drones were used by the union for reconnaissance and tracking among many other functions, and had been built with the most advanced technology in the world.
After she joined, she integrated artificial intelligence into the flight control system, developing state– of–the–art drones, which were now proving indispensable.
After making these arrangements, Lea turned to look at Alfred and was about to explain.
However, Alfred said before she did, “Come on, I’ll go with you.
From her three phone calls, he had already guessed most of what was happening. Since she needed to go out, he certainly would accompany her.
“Okay, Lea nodded and followed him.
As they headed out, Alfred called Craig, instructing him to coordinate with Lea’s actions.
They took the elevator, went straight to the underground parking lot, and got into Lea’s Mercedes– Benz. Without wasting a second, Alfred drove out.
15:4
“It’s in the West District Lea gave the location.
On his phone, Quicksilver’s location was not far from the union’s base. He had just escaped from the building.
He had escaped, and Lea wondered if other members had also gotten out.
She held her breath, feeling a tight knot of anxiety in her chest. Please, Please, let nothing happen!
Alfred drove quickly toward the West District. At the same time, he opened the map and observed the surroundings of the target location.
Lea transmitted the location to the smart system of the car and sent the address of the base to Vincent, asking him to go to the base to help Ralph and the others first. Then, she sent Quicksilver’s location to Jason and Luke. Whereas Alfred shared the location with Craig.
It was already two o’clock in the morning and the snow was still falling. The workers had cleared the snow off the road overnight, so the journey was quite smooth.
The car sped along the highway, heading straight for its destination.
In the car, Lea kept her eyes on Quicksilver’s location on the phone, and he remained stationary.
Alfred told him to walk toward a crowded place, but he hadn’t moved and was trapped at the original spot.
Lea’s throat felt as if her throat was being constricted, making it hard to breathe.
Her purpose for joining the union was to gather strength and enhance her capabilities.
During this period, Quicksilver and the others had been working with her. supporting every major event involving her and the hospital to the best of their abilities.
They were comrades who protected each other’s lives.
Now that they were attacked, Lea definitely couldn’t let anything happen to them, regardless of why they were targeted.
