Having formted his n to rat out Chet, Urian smiled ever so slightly. "Do you remember that man just now, Ms. York?" "Chet Jonas?"


    Noel nodded.


    Chet was definitely no angel-she could tell that much from the way he was so transfixed on herself.


    In fact, he was very blunt about wanting her, saying stuff like a full-body checkup to find out if her goods were real.


    Just thinking about the man sickened Noel-how could such someone so despicable exist?N?velDrama.Org owns all ? content.


    Still, Noel bottled her repulsion and asked, "What is it, Mr. Reno? Does he intend to hurt me?"


    "Exactly." Urian sighed softly. "I''lle clean right now-Chet Jonas is a Lionheart, but he''s no more than apdog who runs errands. But this time, he has brought over a dozen Lionheart martial elites and infiltrated Zamri for unknown reasons." Seeing that both Frank and Noel were staring at him, Urian measured his words before he continued, "I''ll admit that the button you brought was made in this factory, but that''s a deal that Chet told me to keep secret from everyone else... "And just now, he threatened me to keep you both here while he called for backup. I''m guessing that would be the Lionheart martial elites he brought, as he''s ready to capture and hurt you, Ms. York."


    Urian certainly let loose as he bbed everything in one swift stroke.


    He had decided to double-cross Chet anyway, so he was simply being thorough.


    He did not like Chet either, who exploited his intentions to get more business for his factory, as well as his tendency to cut corners.


    After all, Chet''s greed did not pale inparison to Urian''s, and he was a pervert on top of that, making up his mind in an instant that he would force himself on Noel.


    Urian certainly had to consider his


    options at that point-if he kept helping Chet, Chet would just continue to squeeze him for money. No matter what Urian did or paid to appease him, Chet might eventually deny him the business deals he


    promised him too.


    That meant less chances to make money, if not suffering major losses.


    But if he chose to help Noel, forget the goodies he would be getting up front-he might establish himself firmly in Zamri with Noel''s fame. Losses? Not a chance!


    Judging from those oues, it went without saying who Urian would side with.


    "That bastard is so... heinous!"


    Noel was snapping despite her refined mannerisms too, hearing that Chet was already summoning his men to force her toply. The man was so full of himself!


    While Frank remained silent and frowned in thought, Urian added urgently, "That''s what I''ve been


    saying, Ms. York-I''m selling your et


    that information so that you can escape in time. Chet''s boys are Lionheart martial elites, and I''ve met them personally."


    "They are each individually powerful, and not someone we should mess with. They''d capture you if you stay, and..." Urian simply trailed off, as it went without saying what would happen to Noel if the Lionhearts got their hands on her. "Before we run, I have another question for you, Mr. Reno."


    Frank looked up at Urian just then, asking quietly, "Aren''t you worried that Chet would make life hard for you


    after you betray him and let us leave?"


    "Hah! I''m sick of him myself too!" Urian chuckled coolly.
