Her Revenge Returns (Lea and Alfred) novel Chapter 342

Chapter 342 

Lea’s pupils constricted tightly, her expression growing darker by the second. 

She was all too familiar with the true nature of these elite families, especially the Tanner family, even before she traveled back. 

The incident with the gene drugs had only served to further expose the ambitions of these people, led by the Tanner family. Their influence had long extended into non–commercial places like Conrad University and Conrad Hospital. 

They simply couldn’t tolerate any emerging powerful organizations. 

Any newly established company with potential, a lucrative deal, a project, or even talented individuals, if they were perceived as weaker than these families, they’d find a way to claim them as their own. By consuming and assimilating them, they’d grow stronger, reinforcing their status and nipping any possible competition in the bud. 

If one family couldn’t accomplish it alone, several families would unite to do so. 

Before her time travel, Lea had witnessed such brutality firsthand, which made her all the more grateful to Milton for providing her with such resources. 

However, the reality proved that he was no different front the rest. Milton was simply more cunning. 

So it made sense that they’d want to eliminate the Dark Union now. 

After all, families like theirs couldn’t afford scrutiny. A hacker could easily dig up dirt on them, and if exposed, it would severely damage their interests.. 

There was even a possibility that they suspected a connection between Quicksilver, her, and the hospital. Dark Union had certainly helped them before. 

Taking down Quicksilver, then re–establishing a similar organization to target enemies and protect themselves, was indeed a necessary move. 

She glanced once more at the bodies lying on the ground. “Did you manage to find out which family they belonged to?” 

The Alliance might be cooperative, but not to the extent of collectively supporting individuals willing to sacrifice their lives for them. Their relationships weren’t that deep. 

Brian’s eyes flickered as he glanced at her, noticing how familiar she seemed with these elite families. Then he responded, “The Tanner family.” 

He had interrogated them himself; no detail was overlooked. 

Spitfire had calmed down by now, sitting quietly in her chair, observing her colleagues. 

With Lea here and accompanied by her skilled subordinates, Spitfire felt a sense of protection. 

Quicksilver, on the other hand, was deeply unsettled. He knew exactly what the Union was involved in and had anticipated that they might be attacked one day, but he hadn’t expected that day to come so soon, or for it to be this dangerous. 

“So, what now?” He asked, staring at the corpses on the floor. Things had escalated to the point of death. 

Spitfire looked at them expectantly. She was just a mapper with some hacking skills. Resolving something like this was beyond her capacity. 

Lea turned her gaze to Brian, who was already looking at her. It was clear. She was expected to make the call.

“This is also a warning to them. This is the price they pay for coming after us, Lea said calmly, her tone even. 

Though her expression was composed, there was a subtle edge to her gaze that sent a surge of determination thr everyone present. Their backs straightened unconsciously, their resolve bolstered. 

*Til design an intelligent security system for the base,” she added “You can use it for personal protection, at your b in your offices.” 

This was something she had developed before her time travel to safeguard the secrets of her core laboratory. Desp numerous attempts by countless skilled individuals using cutting–edge technology, no one had ever succeeded in 

1. it. 

Of course, she couldn’t develop such an advanced system as quickly now. Any of the materials hadn’t been invente she didn’t have the time or energy to replicate it fully. 

However, creating a simplified version to ensure their safety was more than within her capabilities, “I’ll transfer a fe bodyguards from the hospital to protect everyone.” 

Protecting them was something she could certainly do. 

Hearing this, everyone relaxed, their eyes shining with newfound hope. “Lea, how about becoming our leader?” Quic asked sincerely. 

Spitfire’s eyes lit up as she stared at Lea, while Brian, too, looked at her with a mix of admiration and agreement. He understood the thoughts of the others and added, “The rest will support this decision as well.” 

Lea’s gaze shifted, appraising them as if evaluating a product, but there was an enigmatic depth in her clear eyes. Though her face was youthful, the powerful aura and wisdom she exuded made her appear composed and naturally st for leadership. She was undoubtedly the best candidate for their leader. 

Seeing her hesitation, Quicksilver quickly explained, “I founded the union two years ago. Initially, I just wanted to use hacking skills to solve some problems. Later, I realized I needed talented people, and I brought them in because they w the right fit.” 

His gaze swept over his colleagues in the room. 

“That’s how we ended up with Spitfire, Brian, Shannon, you, and the trainees. As the group grew, so did the complexity c the tasks we took on. We need more structured management and the right measures in place. My abilities are limited, bu Lea, you can do it better.” 

At this moment, a deep sense of commitment burned in the hearts of everyone present. 

Over the past two years, this organization had tackled numerous high–stakes challenges, providing a sense of security and purpose for many of its members. 

Particularly in the past six months, they had made a significant impact, taking down high–level criminal organizations and even bringing down corrupt families like the Oliver family, especially in the Vaporleon City and Fraley Medical incidents. The work they were doing was meaningful beyond measure. 

It was the kind of work they wanted to dedicate their lives to, which made it clear that the union needed to be consolidated and properly organized. 

Despite her young age, Lea had already proven her capabilities by quickly establishing Riverview Hospital. Entrusting this small but vital union to her seemed like a natural next step.
