Chapter 743 Working Together
But the moment the app loaded, his brows furrowed. The news circulating online caught his attention. He had been so focused on tracking down the cartel and their associates that he hadn’t noticed the uproar.
It had already been over twelve hours since the news broke. If there was any action to be taken, Hera had likely already handled it. Still, he took his time reading through the threads, piecing together the situation from the accounts of ’HeraIsMySister’ and ’AuntieNextDoor.’
The more Leo read, the angrier he became. The eerie, cold ruthlessness that had just begun to fade after dealing with the cartel was now creeping back, growing heavier by the second. The atmosphere in the car turned suffocating, making Terry’s skin prickle with unease.
Stealing a glance at Leo through the rearview mirror, Terry immediately regretted it. The sheer intensity in Leo’s eyes made his soul feel like it had left his body. He quickly looked away, not daring to meet that murderous gaze.
Desperate to understand what had set Leo off, Terry pulled out his phone and checked the trending news. As he skimmed through the posts, the pieces quickly fell into place. His stomach twisted. No wonder Leo was furious.

What made it worse was that the three men were publicly known as her suitors. Their involvement in this mess meant that Hera could end up getting hurt in the crossfire.

Leo’s first instinct was to consider how Hera must be feeling. Was she hurt seeing all of this unfold? His jaw clenched at the thought. Without hesitation, he instructed Terry to dig deeper into the incident while he himself opened their ’Six Musketeers group chat’, ready to strategize with the other five men.
