Chapter 431: Chapter 431

After hanging up the phone, Claire Keaton conveyed the news to Lucas Laine.

"Lucas, Serena asked me to pass on a message - not to worry about her. Serena is currently very safe. We don’t need to go to Ystoria to meet her."

Lucas Laine frowned deeply, his handsome face full of worry, "Claire, I can’t rest easy. I need to go to Ystoria personally! The leader of the Midnight Syndicate is no pushover, and it’s his territory..."

He had to bring Serena back himself to be at ease.

Claire Keaton spoke with a gleeful tone, "Lucas, the leader of the Midnight Syndicate is actually Damian Quinn! Now it’s Damian Quinn who should have a headache!"

After all, Damian Quinn had really upset his own fiancée this time! Even giving away intercontinental missiles to make Serena happy!

Just the thought of the latest intercontinental missiles of the Midnight Syndicate soon becoming the Netherworld Syndicate’s made Claire Keaton extremely excited.

After all, they not only got such a powerful weapon for free, but their old enemy, the Midnight Syndicate, would also have to heed the Netherworld Syndicate from now on!

Hahaha, just thinking about it feels so great!

Damian Quinn is actually the leader of the Midnight Syndicate...

Upon hearing this, Lucas Laine’s dark pupils slightly contracted, his hands hanging by his side suddenly clenched tightly.

"Lucas, I know you’re very surprised right now. I was just as surprised when Serena told me this news." Claire Keaton sighed, "Who would have thought that Damian Quinn had such a heavyweight identity hidden!"

Lucas Laine lowered his long, deep black eyes, his expression dark and unreadable, leaving others guessing what he was thinking.

Seeing him , Claire Keaton felt a bit unable to bear it but still opened her mouth to remind him.

"Serena is probably going to take Damian Quinn to meet Master soon. Lucas, I don’t need to say more; you know what this means."

"Lucas, just let go!"

Lucas Laine said nothing, but the menacing aura around him was terrifying, and his long, deep black eyes showed a hint of obsession. ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ novel⁂fire.net

He had silently protected Serena for so many years; how could he bear to let go?

If only there was no Damian Quinn...

"Where’s the leader?"

Helios rushed in, looking anxious.

"I want to see the leader!!!"

"Captain Helios, what’s the rush?"

Hearing the commotion, Chase Sherman immediately came over.

Master Damian was still having breakfast with Miss Serena at this time, so he dared not disturb them!

"I just got the news that the leader ordered our Midnight Syndicate’s newly developed intercontinental missile to be given to the Netherworld Syndicate for free!"

Helios had been lying in the hospital for a whole day after being punished the day before yesterday, and only today could he get out of bed. He received this news as soon as he returned to the base.

"This must be false, right?!!!"

That’s their arch-enemy, the Netherworld Syndicate. It’s already a blessing that the missile wasn’t fired at them; how could their leader possibly give the Salmad Intercontinental Missile to them for free!

Seeing Helios’s disbelief, Chase Sherman gave him a sympathetic look and then spoke.

"What?" Helios’s eyes nearly popped out, "Why on earth?!"

An intercontinental missile is such an important weapon, why give it to their arch-enemy, he really couldn’t wrap his head around it!

Hmm, how should he tactfully say that it’s because Master Damian wanted to please his wife, so he gave away the missile?

The more Helios thought about it, the more unwilling he became, and he spoke angrily, "The Netherworld Syndicate is not worthy of taking our Midnight Syndicate’s stuff?!"

Hearing Helios’s outrageous words, Chase Sherman broke into a cold sweat, about to stop him from continuing, but it was too late.

"And why is the Netherworld Syndicate unworthy?"

Serena Everett walked slowly down from upstairs, her long and straight legs moving elegantly, her voice cool.

Helios didn’t even lift his head, instinctively retorting, "The Netherworld Syndicate has been at odds with us every turn over these years. Our first missile from the Midnight Syndicate should’ve bombed their base!"

Upon hearing this, a cold sweat broke out on Chase Sherman’s forehead, and his mind had only two words.

"Tsk, quite formidable!"

Serena pressed her tongue lightly against her back teeth, clapped her hands, and lazily turned her head to look at Damian Quinn.

"Destroying the Netherworld Syndicate’s base, quite capable you are!"

"Serena, that’s not what I meant!"

Sensing the danger, Damian Quinn immediately distanced himself, raising a hand to clasp the girl’s small hand, his tone unbelievably sincere.

Knowing the young lady’s deep relationship with the Netherworld Syndicate, he hadn’t even tried to settle the account when they trespassed in Ystoria last time, let alone bomb their base!

When had their leader ever wimped out ?!

Hearing Damian Quinn’s explanation, Helios was stunned, then looked up to see their intertwined fingers, his jaw nearly dropped in shock.

Serena was still dressed in the same men’s wear as yesterday, so it appeared to outsiders as — two extremely handsome men holding hands, looking intimate, like a couple.

Helios felt like he was about to crack.

Their leader had never been seen with a woman for so many years. There had been rumors that he liked men, but he had never believed it. But now he saw it with his own eyes and had no choice but to believe it!

Their leader really liked men!!!

Helios’s mind was buzzing, completely unable to accept this reality.

Wait a minute, wasn’t this man the one who had recklessly destroyed Caesar’s Casino last time?!

"Leader, even if you like men, we wouldn’t dare to have an opinion, but why did you choose him? He’s the one responsible for destroying our Midnight Syndicate’s factory and casino..."

Before Helios could finish his words, Damian Quinn’s devilishly handsome face turned as black as ink, and the surrounding temperature rapidly dropped, chilling everyone to the bone.

"Master Damian, I’ll take him away right now!"

To prevent Helios from digging his grave any further, Chase Sherman quickly covered his mouth and dragged him away.

"Mmm... Let go of me... Leader, cough cough... You can’t be swayed by a pretty face..."

After watching this drama unfold, Serena’s bright and moist lips curved slightly into a smile, "Your subordinates are quite amusing."

"Baby, don’t find other men amusing." Damian Quinn gently pinched her delicate chin, his tone dripping with jealousy.

Serena drew out her words, mischievously fluttering her eyes and deliberately speaking.

"Not only is he amusing, but he’s also quite good-looking!"

Sure enough, as soon as she said this, the man’s large distinct hands gripped tightly around her waist.

Damian Quinn’s mesmerizing eyes narrowed slightly, a dangerous aura emanating.

"Baby, say that again."

Serena tilted her head at him, unafraid, "He is quite good-looking..."

Before she could finish, the man grabbed her waist and kissed her, stopping her words completely.

Serena moaned softly under the pressure, and if not for the man’s hand firmly supporting her waist, she wouldn’t be able to stand upright.

The atmosphere grew more intimate and suggestive, but suddenly an unfamiliar voice broke the moment.

"Leader, I have something to report... Whoa!!!"

A Hidden Guard walked in and, upon seeing the scene, widened his eyes in shock and immediately turned around to run out, mumbling as he went.

"Oh my God, the rumors outside aren’t wrong, the leader really does like men!!!"

Hearing this, Serena disregarded the man’s darkened expression and laughed out loud, her lips curving beautifully.

Seeing the young girl so happy, Damian Quinn’s previously gloomy expression softened as his large hand lightly caressed her waist.

His deep, magnetic voice was filled with indulgence and helplessness.

"Baby, from now on don’t wear men’s clothes at the base, alright?"

He didn’t want any more rumors spreading about him liking men!
