Messing With Her? Are You Crazy! novel Chapter 1296

The amount of wealth hoarded on that island was astronomical. It was enough capital to rival the GDP of a small nation.

And it had all been wiped out in a single night.

Because of that devastating loss, The Obsidian Core had become the ultimate target on the international stage. The global elite who had desperately bid on those experimental drugs to extend their lives were now out of money and out of time, and they were losing their minds.

To Obsidian, Serena wasn't just an annoyance anymore; she was a lethal threat that had to be eradicated.

Julian's expression grew cold. "Severia and Obsidian will undoubtedly try to kill you during the next rounds of the competition."

Jerrick's brows knitted together in a fierce scowl. "No way, Serena. I'm contacting command right now. I'm requisitioning a full security detail to guard you."

Serena shook her head. "There's no need. Obsidian doesn't have the guts to make a public move yet."

She lifted her gaze, her eyes utterly calm and calculating. "I'll stay in the spotlight and act as a lightning rod. I'll draw their fire."

"Jerrick, you and Nicholas need to work together and smoke out Obsidian's operatives from the shadows."

She paused, her eyes narrowing slightly. "Obsidian is accelerating their timeline. I'd bet everything it's because I crippled their finances."

"The international community is closing in on them. They're being hunted."

"They are desperate, which is exactly why they've completely entrenched themselves with the Severian government."

"This entire global tournament was a setup from the start."

"They used the competition to lure the world's top intellectual talent, billionaires, investors, and media straight into Severia's borders."

"It doesn't take a genius to figure out what they plan to do with all of them."

"We have to move faster."

She delivered the breakdown with a casual, lazy elegance, completely unfazed by the gravity of the situation.

But that brilliant, tactical mind left both of her brothers in quiet awe.
