Chapter 1497
Temporarily?!" Zane was shocked. "How could you not talk to me about something so serious before making that decision? The crest isn't going to recognize somebody else as its owner as long as you're still alive. You just turned yourself into a sitting duck to those people!"
Nicole lifted her brows. "That was how it worked back then, Uncle Zane. However, this new crest is a system. Do you know what I'm good at?"
Her words shocked Zane. "Are you going to overwrite its system?"
Nicole nodded, and after a while, she said, "I can probably do that, but this system is the most complicated out of all the other ones that I've seen. I might need some time to look into it."
Zane calmed down a little after he had an idea as to what Nicole's plan was. "You should figure something out to distance yourself from the system as soon as possible then."
In response, Nicole moved in closer and stared at him. "Then what?
There'll still be people coming after it... I've got to place it somewhere safe."
Zane thought for a moment, and with a pained expression on his face, he said, "That's because too many people know about the Reby Family Crest now. The Rebys disappeared after they had retrieved the crests about a century ago. It's very difficult to track them down now, but I'll try anyway..."
Carl then grew nervous. "Is Nicole never going to be safe before we can find the other crests?"
Upon hearing that, Jared calmly said, "The Holy Alliance will protect her as long as she's still the possessor of the Reby Family Crest. Most people wouldn't dare to do anything to harm her. Any newly minted family that is ignorant of the rules will have to get past my family first before they get to try anything."
Only a few new families that had emerged in the start of the century would covet Nicole's crest, and the Johnston family happened to be the strongest family among them. Such was why Jared was not afraid of them at all.
A feeling of warmth rushed over Nicole after Jared had said that.
Carl kept mum at once. 'Oh. I almost forgot. Not only does Nicole own the crest. She also has Jared around to protect her...'
