Ready to Rule: The Real Heiress Strikes Back novel Chapter 541

Iceblade: [I just don't want anyone else taking credit for this. If I can catch Connor myself, the reward is a billion dollars.]

Lydia didn’t bother replying. She couldn’t tell anymore if Iceblade was being honest or just messing with her.

One thing was for sure, though. The authorities had put out a search warrant. Whoever was behind the hit on Connor had to be freaking out right now. If the investigation found any of those assassins connected to him, he’d be done for.

And Lydia was right. Somewhere in the Capital, inside a command center, a man was clearly losing his cool.

“Get Blood Oath out of the country right now,” he said, his tone cold. “Lay low until things settle down. Then we’ll move.”

“Yes, sir.”

“Are you sure the leak came from Hacker L?”

“No one else could pull that off.”

“So Connor has Hacker L on his side?”

“Eighty percent sure.”

“Well, look at that. Hacker L!”

Connor was no ordinary guy. Even after three years away from the military, he could still get someone important like Hacker L to step in.

By that night, every Blood Oath member had already pulled out of the country, waiting for a better time to act.

Connor was almost completely healed. His injuries didn’t slow him down at all. He asked Aiden to get some gifts together because he was going to officially visit the Norwood family as their future son-in-law.

At breakfast, Lydia shared the news. Kylie and Cameron were both thrilled.

“Connor’s all better?” Cameron asked.

Lydia nodded. “Yeah.”

Mr. Norwood looked genuinely happy. “That’s great. He hasn’t even had a proper meal with us yet.”
