Chapter 843 Opportunity
[Luke: @Dave, highly unlikely. If Leo had just offended someone, they wouldn’t go so far as to lure him into a deserted forest and set him up with a landmine. Based on the shrapnel Zhane extracted from his wounds, it was definitely from military-grade landmines—tricky devices even for professionals. The mafia is known to handle such weapons, but even they wouldn’t take that kind of risk unless it was necessary. So why go to such extremes for a supposed nobody?]
[Zhane: So you’re saying Leo might be caught up in something much bigger?]
[Luke: Exactly.]
[Luke: We need to assign someone to protect him and his people. At least until we know what we’re dealing with. His life could still be in danger.]
[Zhane: Hera already requested backup. Miss Cindy responded personally—she deployed a team to isolate an entire hospital floor for Leo and his group. Retired elite soldiers are stationed at every entry point. It’s locked down tight.]
[Luke: That’s a serious level of protection... but why would Miss Cindy get involved?]
[Dave: You still don’t know her connection to our girl, do you?]
[Dave: Last time, she said she helped my sweetheart because she felt Hera had been wronged while under her territory, so she stepped in for the sake of the company’s reputation and image.]
[Dave: But honestly, that explanation feels off. The Avery Consortium is a massive business empire—Miss Cindy has more pressing matters to handle. I’m not saying our girl isn’t worthy, but in terms of influence, she hasn’t quite reached that level yet. Unless... Cindy sees potential in her? Maybe she’s looking to recruit Hera into their company?]
