Chapter 164 Authentic Flavor
“Once this identity is exposed, it’ll bring a ton of trouble. I didn’t want you involved too much, in case it put you in danger.”
It wasn’t that he didn’t want to tell her. He just wanted to protect her.
“Dangerous?” Noelle laughed softly. “More dangerous than my identity as Alliance 749’s leader?”
Sebastian fell silent.
If they really compared the two, there were probably more people trying to assassinate the leader of Alliance 749.
After all, Alliance 749 walked a fine line between right and wrong, touching countless vested interests, while IBI was, at least on the surface, an international organization.
Seeing his expression turn serious so quickly, Noelle smiled instead. She leaned in closer. almost brushing his nose, her tone playful and unconcerned. “So, Mr. Menzie, who do you think is actually more dangerous? And who really needs protecting more?”
Sebastian looked at her smiling face, which was so close that he could feel her breath. Those clear eyes held not the slightest fear of danger, only absolute confidence and a hint of teasing at his excessive worry.
His heart tightened. His arm drew in instinctively, pulling her deeper into his embrace.
He lowered his head and looked at her intently. Noey, I know you’re strong, stronger than 1 ever imagined. But I want you to understand this: Your abilities don’t stop me from wanting to protect you. This has nothing to do with power. It’s only about how I feel.”
Listening to his sincere words and feeling the steady heartbeat beneath his chest, Noelle nodded seriously. “I know, honey. Just like you want to protect me, I want to protect you too No matter what you want to do, I’ll support you just want you to always be happy.”
As she spoke, she suddenly laughed again. “But honestly, now that we know we’re both walking trouble magnets, doesn’t that make us an even better match? IBI’s chief officer paired with Alliance 749’s leader. Doesn’t that sound pretty evenly matched?”
“Heh… you two are evenly matched, alright. And we’re the ones getting played like idiots.”
A strange voice chimed in.
Lucas and Serena were pressed against the car window like ghosts.

Lucas ground his teeth. “Noelle, you really hid it well. Miracle Healer and Alliance 749’s leader!”
“I didn’t hide it from you.” Noelle blinked. “See? I didn’t tell my honey about my Miracle Healer identity either, but he still figured it out and rushed over.”
“No, wait,” Lucas laughed. “Are you calling me dumb in a roundabout way?”
Noelle spread her hands innocently. Roundabout
Nope. I said it straight.
“And your IBI officer identity isn’t any less impressive either,” Serena snorted lightly. Her arm was already bandaged. “A chief officer and a core executive. You two hid that pretty well. At least Noey still walked around as the Miracle Healer. You two stayed completely low–key. That’s pretty impressive.”
“Ah, well, it’s nothing special. Nothing worth bragging about, really.”
Lucas waved his hand modestly, but his eyes were full of pride.
Being IBI’s core leadership was definitely something worth bragging about.
When Darell arrived, he heard laughter coming from the car.
His steps paused.
He didn’t go over. Instead, he handed the box in his hand to a subordinate. “Give this to Noelle for me.”
With that, he turned and left.
The subordinate quickly passed the box to Noel.
“From Darell?”
Noelle was surprised. He came all this way and didn’t even stop by?
She opened the box. Inside lay a pack of stuffed chewy candy.
It was a specialty from Southdale.
