Chapter: 459
They said their boss wanted to see me."
She paused, her thoughts deepening. "Thankfully, the two men from the Sacredice handled his men, and I managed to persuade Remy to relay a message to his boss after taking care of him."
She chose to withhold the fuller truth of her encounter with Remy, a chapter of her history she wasn't ready to unveil to Sean just yet.
"They rule Lochdeer without challenge," Sean mused. "It's a lawless land, untouched by military or law enforcement."
Lochdeer's most powerful entity, the Breaker, was both feared and, paradoxically, celebrated. Their brutal acts of violence somehow earned them a bizarre online fan base, supporting their ruthless agenda.
Sean continued, “Their enterprise thrives on illegal markets, from gambling and vice to narcotics. And the underground fights Remy participates in? They're just another part of their illicit portfolio.”
Norah, remembering her own clandestine dealings with the Breaker from days past, knew all too well the peril the Breaker posed. Yet, this was a reality she chose to keep to herself for the moment.
Within the Breaker, some individuals exuded a menacing aura. Whether it was the formidable leader, or the ruthless second-in-command overseeing finances, both were known for their brutality.
Previously, Norah had engaged in negotiations with the Breaker due to the organization's financial woes. However, dealing with the second- in-command proved challenging, as he tolerated no errors.
Regarding the other members of the Breaker, Norah gleaned information primarily from Alice, who seemed well-acquainted with the inner workings of the Breaker.
Alice divulged detailed insights into each individual's character and vulnerabilities. Norah eagerly absorbed the information as if it were captivating gossip.
Sean's expression hardened. “Phillip, assist me in uncovering the reason behind the Breaker's interest in Norah."
Phillip responded promptly, “Understood, Mr. Scott."
How dare the Breaker covet someone under Sean's protection? Sean issued the order, and the Breaker might face retaliation tonight.
After all, Kevin's reputation for achieving a 100% success rate was no empty boast.
"Don't fret, honey. I'll assign two additional individuals to ensure your safety," Sean assured Norah.
However, now that he was aware of the threat, Sean pondered whether two people from the Sacredice would suffice to protect Norah. Perhaps it was prudent to assign additional personnel to her security detail.
“It's in your hands. Just make the necessary arrangements." After expressing her trust in Sean, Norah relaxed her body, leaning her cheek against his neck. Playfully, she poked his Adam's apple with her index finger.
Sean's care for her was evident, and she felt reassured knowing that she didn't have to expend any effort or resources worrying about her safety. She trusted him implicitly.
A brief silence enveloped the car before Norah's voice broke through, its melodic tone filling the space. “Darling, you're so kind."
Sean's heart swelled with warmth, There were aspects of his life he preferred to keep hidden from Norah, yet he knew that if she were aware, her feelings for him might deepen.
Embracing her more tightly, he vowed, “I'll always treat you better.”
As Sean leaned in close to her ear, the warm breath escaping his Lips enveloped her senses, causing her to involuntarily recoil. “It's itchy."
His gaze intensified, and with a firm grip on her head, he delicately sucked on her earlobe, tracing it with the tip of his tongue.
