The Killer Queen (Noella Briony)

After all, she was the ringleader of a scam gang operating along the border.

And not just any gang, but one that had teamed up with several local fraudsters to pull off their schemes. Where on earth did Noella dig up this information?

Noella calmly stated, "Millie and Jasper have been digging around The Baker Group these past few days."

Part of this information came from previous investigations by Polaris Star, with the rest sent over by Millie just now!

Stirling's eyes widened in disbelief.

"What? Jasper's gotten involved with a scam gang? Isn't that dangerous?"

Yasbel, standing next to Noella, had a complex expression.

"Well, considering the main gig for our dynamic duo of lawyers - or, as we translate it, our super con artists..."

Yasbel continued, "Millie once made a daring escape from Northstone and proved she's not someone The Baker Group can easily handle." Stirling gasped, "Wait, escaped from where?"

"Northstone?"

Noella nodded, "Millie had some free time and since the Gallagher family's gem business was right on the border, she decided to take a look."

Turns out, despite her harmless appearance, she bumped into the scam gang. Thinking she had nothing better to do, she joined them. But when she found out they were after her kidneys, she made a break for it, torching the Gallagher's gem factory on her way out and pinning it on the scam gang.

Noella added, "Escaping from Northstone took her about eight or nine hours, no big deal. The Baker Group has a few of Xavier's people inside, so Jasper's safe too."

Ulrich waved it off.

"No need to worry about Jasper. He might be young, but he's got more guts than Stirling."

Stirling felt slighted.

"So, I'm the only useless one in the family, huh!"

Beckett explained, "Children of the Schnabel family must prove themselves through trials!"

Stirling scratched his head, "Beckett has to revitalize the Rising Glory Group, Ulrich came back alive from his stint as a doctor without borders, facing all manner of crises while keeping his oath. Jasper went undercover near a drug lord, and it was Jasper who brought down the Toxic Monarch of Southeast Asia."

"And Stirling?"

Stirling shrugged, "I just happened to fall ill, didn't do anything!"Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

Stirling had been laid up at home for three months after an injury on set, followed by a nasty bout of the flu.

And just when he learned that Elara wasn't the biological daughter of the Schnabel family, the whole family was in turmoil!

Marcel spoke up, "Maybe we've been too harsh, expecting too much. The kids should just be safe and healthy. Whether they face the family's trials is up to them from now on!"

Because of this, Stirling became the only son not to undergo the family's trials!

Beckett shook his head.

"Stirling, just keep your innocence. A son of the Schnabel family needs to stand on his own, but not necessarily rise from adversity."

"But Jasper doesn't need to worry, he can handle this!"

Jasper might not have Millie's fighting skills, but he's got a sharp mind.

Beckett calmly said, "When the Toxic Monarch was taken down, he was worried Jasper would be caught, even wanted Jasper as his heir."

Yasbel marveled, "To be able to outsmart a drug lord like that! Boss, what's in your family's genes?"

It seemed Stirling was among the few 'normal' ones...

With Northstone's quick escape and the smartest son of the Schnabel family involved, The Baker Group should be trembling!

Millie and Jasper sent back the internal layout of The Baker Group.

The Schnabel family, looking over the map, fell into silence...

Noella immediately shared the information with the border police.

Yasbel said, "Boss, 7-Slayer has reached The Baker Group. Erek and his team are nearby, ready to move in. Should we give them a little surprise?"

"Go for it, just keep it measured. Don't kill anyone, and while you're at it, spread the word about 7-Slayer being at The Baker Group. Let the other scam gangs turn on them. Maybe release a few folks from Lockhart Prison, there are plenty there who've had run-ins with 7-Slayer."

"Got it! I've been wanting to get a piece of him for a while now!"

Listening to Noella and Yasbel casually deciding to beat up 7-Slayer, the Schnabel family was stunned!

Even Marcel couldn't bring himself to talk about beating someone up like that.

Stirling asked, "Noella, you're planning to...?"

Noella looked up, puzzled, "Can't we fight? I won't kill him."

"It's not that we can't... but..."

But they had never seen Noella in action before!

Tristan worriedly said, "Sweetheart, you're not planning to go there yourself, are you?"

"Not planning to. Let 7-Slayer get his beating today, I'll visit tomorrow."

The family hadn't even caught their breath from the first part of her statement before Noella dropped the second bombshell.

The entire family was flabbergasted!

Noella analyzed with a cool head,

"I've been to Lockhart Prison than once. It's no big deal.

Velet

Polaris Star's base is el.

7-Slayer will definitely

Except for that brief encounter with 7-Slayer while visiting Marcel at Imperial West Hospital, where they

played chess and strategized together, they had both been intentionally avoiding each other ever since!

It was a classic case of when kings clash!

Beckett immediately said, "I'm coming with you!"

Ulrich and Stirling also insisted on tagging along with Noella, their eyes filled with worry.

"No need, I can handle it."

Yasbel interjected, "What? Are you guys going on a suicide mission to 7-Slayer?"

The Schnabel family boys, going to the Baker Group with their boss, it was hard to tell who would be protecting whom!

The mental state of the Schnabel siblings was in shambles!

Malvina gently tugged at Ulrich's sleeve.

She whispered, "Noella's a badass, you know. She owns that underground fight club. She was the one who taught me how to box."

Malvina had never told Ulrich about this before.

Ulrich had been speculating if some handsome young face from the fight club had been teaching Malvina how to box, knowing she was being coached by the fight club's champion, he had been lurking around the club, waiting!

vel.n

He never found the guy, and Ulrich secretly harbored jealousy for quite some time.

Now he realized he had been jealous of his own sister!

Ulrich was flabbergasted!

His sister, who seemed so gentle and innocent, was actually a boxing champion?

No wonder the last time they went back to their ancestral home with Noella, she dismantled the iron gate with one hand...

Back then, Ulrich thought the gate was just poorly made!

Now, he thought the only thing poorly made was his assumption...

Malvina soothingly patted her dumbfounded husband, "Honey, I just wanted to tell you not to worry about Noella, she's tougher than you think." Stirling's mind raced, "Noella, so you taught Millie how to fight?"

"Yeah."

The entire family, thinking about Millie's combat prowess, fell into a collective silence...

Tristan, who was always a bit clueless and had an odd way of thinking, asked, "Could Palmer beat you, then?"

Noella pondered seriously, "It would be a close match!"

She had never officially sparred with Palmer, but if it came down to it, they might be evenly matched!

Tristan's world was rocked!

"Palmer came out hardened from fighting on the front lines... If my daughter can stand toe to toe with him, did I somehow raise a genius?"
