Chapter: 435

Turning to her, Alice responded with a note of caution, “Please, take care."

Norah straightened up, her smile radiant as she faced Alice. "Will do."

As Norah turned, catching Sean's tender gaze, her smile widened even further. This time, she wouldn't be confronting her challenges solo.

She had a steadfast ally ready to support her.

Inside the vehicle, Sean handed over the investigative report to Norah. "I tasked Phillip with investigation last night. It might lack some details, but it's quite substantial."

The report opened with Jack's profile, showcasing his photograph and detailing his role within the East Zone.

“This reminds me of something. They were spotted outside that hospital yesterday."

Recalling the incident, Norah remembered the moment Jack's associates whistled, prompting her to notice Jack concealing himself at the crossroads with his men.

Flipping to the second page, Norah's eyes narrowed upon seeing Jimena's profile and her contact information. "That's her."

"Do you recognize her?"

"She was the very caregiver who mistreated Alice yesterday." Norah pondered, realizing some individuals never learned nor valued their second chances at life, almost as if they courted death with open arms.

“She must harbor resentment toward you for your actions. Hence, she conspired with Jack for retribution. Our findings suggest they were romantically involved previously," Sean voiced his analysis.

With a dismissive snort, Norah declared, "Their past is irrelevant.

They will face their end today."

Her voice was chilling, her expression stern. At this, Sean couldn't help but see Norah as a merciless assassin from the Sacredice, singularly focused and unflinchingly cold. His heart tightened. He harbored suspicions about her secrets, convinced they would soon come to Light.

“We've assessed their strength. They boast a force of 50 to 60 men.

Despite Jack's claims of leadership in the East Zone, his followers are few," Sean revealed.

"Indeed, his resources are thin." In contrast to the formidable Fox Alliance, Norah noticed Jack's faction seemed more like a minor league, united by trivial bonds.

Sean retrieved a black metal case from beneath his seat, opening it to reveal a silver Beretta handgun and an array of ammunition.

“Honey, we are uncertain if they're carrying guns. Arm yourself with this handgun for your protection," Sean asserted.

Norah fumbled her gun on her waist and said hesitantly, “Why don't you keep it?"

"Just take it with you. I know you know how to use a gun. I'll have peace of mind knowing you're armed."

Sean was aware of Norah's existing gun but suspected she lacked sufficient ammunition. This gesture was an opportunity to ensure she was well-prepared. With the additional rounds, Norah could confidently confront the adversaries without fear of depletion.

“I'm already equipped. You needn't worry about me."
