Chapter 1155: Ebonhart
"Did you hear what I said, Elliot Dunkell?" Hera stretched her neck from one side to the other, calming down her nerves before it could kill her. "I said I don’t care. If one of my men dies while in custody, I’ll make sure to hang all of your heads outside the Interpol."
"Why even send them in the first place?" Elliot hissed. "By sending your men in the Interpol, were you expecting us to treat them as guests?"
"I expected you to welcome them with open arms."
"You’re not making any sense."
"The Interpol is full of rats, Elliot. All I did was send out some cats to haunt them down for you. Is being your tiger mom for a few days not enough?" Hera rolled her eyes. "Fine. I’ll take you back and lock you up in the library next time."
"You’re insane."
"I hope you remind yourself what I am before opening your mouth next time." A glint flickered across Hera’s eyes as she started unbuckling her seat in the cockpit of the chopper. "Also, do what I asked you to do. Dig everything you can find about the Five Secret Families. I need them tonight."

"Hera, I —" Elliot winced when the line disconnected, glaring daggers at his phone. Did she forget the welcoming party she threw in the Interpol’s territory? Not only did she want Elliot to babysit her people, but she also wanted him to look up the legendary Five Secret Families.
"I don’t curse a lot, but I might learn all of them while dealing with her." He let out a deep exhale, imagining his workload at the moment. Elliot shook his head, stretching his arms and limbs until he felt his body warm up a little.
