Lydia had gathered intel that said Aria was skilled in combat, but she always assumed that no matter how good Aria was, she couldn’t possibly stand up to sheer brute force.

‘However, the man in the restroom was barely conscious, yet she didn’t even have a single wrinkle on her clothes. She’s really something. No wonder Owen wasn’t worried at all, Lydia thought to herself.

Aria tossed the wipe into the trash. “Let’s head back.”

Staring dazedly at their retreating figures, Lydia stood frozen for a long moment before finally calling over a flight attendant. “There’s a man in the restroom,” she said in a hushed voice, “he seems to be having a violent episode.”

Someone called out for Lydia, “Miss Yeager, over here!”

Lydia glanced back over her shoulder and offered the two a polite smile. “I’ll get going now. Hope you both have a wonderful

time.”

Aria nodded. “Thank you.”

Just as she and Owen got into the taxi, two men in black suits burst out from the building, their sharp gazes sweeping the
