It looked like they’d brought a whole crew with them.
Connor narrowed his eyes. “And they’re packing military-grade weapons.”
Lydia’s expression went cold. “They’re seriously asking for it.”
“Let them come. I was almost worried they wouldn’t,” Connor replied, a vicious little smile tugging at his lips.
His girl had risked everything to treat their boss’ family. You’d think they’d be grateful. Instead, they decided to stab her in the back?
If they wanted to throw themselves into the fire, Connor was more than happy to help light the match.
As night fell, the Black Eagle compound was blazing with lights. The women, children, and elderly had already gotten the antidote and been moved somewhere safe.
Night Eagle sat in the main hall, anxiously waiting for updates, when suddenly a massive explosion shook the entire building, rattling the floors.
His heart skipped a beat. This was bad.
Inside, chaos broke out. Lydia herself led the Lydora crew, storming right into the compound. She brought back all the gasoline and explosives Black Eagle had secretly sent to Mount Gemspire earlier that day. Every last bit.
“Night Eagle! You heartless bastard! Get your ass out here!” Hunter shouted.
Hunter had always hated Black Eagle. The second he found out they’d tried to set fire to the mountain and put Lydia in danger, all he wanted was to snap Night Eagle’s neck with his bare hands.
Night Eagle’s plan was simple: sneak his people up the mountain, start a fire under cover of darkness, and wipe everyone out.
But he’d completely underestimated Lydia and Connor. Did he really think hiding his men among the medicine buyers would fool them? That was just stupid.
“Hunter, check how many are still here,” Lydia called out.
With Black Eagle around, they always threw their weight around, bullying the other gangs, especially Lydora. Now that Night Eagle had run off, life might actually get easier for everyone.
“This compound could be really useful,” Lydia said, glancing around. “But it needs a serious makeover first.”
Potato and Sweet Potato’s eyes lit up. “So we’ve got a project to work on?”
Lydia nodded. “Yeah. And that secret passage? Blow it up.”
That was exactly what they’d been hoping to hear. If they didn’t destroy that tunnel, who knew when Black Eagle might try to sneak back in and start trouble again.
“Let’s check out Night Eagle’s place,” Lydia said, looking over at Connor.
He nodded. “Let’s go.”

Olha a história bem boa só algumas coisas são chatas ( nesse tipo de história sempre troca as filhas pela a da empregada ou então pegam uma menina pra criar) pelo menos eles tratam a filha bem só enche o saco que até agora a Lucinda tá lá enchendo ! Fora isso tá bom Connor é um fofo a família dela a ama muito só Lucinda pra abaixar o nível do livro já era pra ter resolvido isso e fazer ela pagar mais tudo bem li um livro chinês que era parecido só algumas coisas diferentes ,ais mesma coisa tipo ela salvou o Connor no início lá ela salvava o avô dele , no chinês ela não tinha um irmão mais novo com os pais adotivos , a mãe dela tinha 2 irmãos e todos os avós estavam vivos mais história quase igual e tem coisas tipo o triângulo que lá TB tinha até a Lucinda que no chines TB ficou o livro todo aprontando só no final a família descobria e se livrava dela aí ela ia morar com o cara que ela usa pra disfarçar que não gosta do Connor aí depois ainda quase matava a irmã dele e a mãe dele que ele via como ela era...

Every chapter is missing a sentence from the end of every chapter. It’s frustrating to try guess what’s missing or said...
