Chapter 76

The person Harvey spoke wirk was a terrifying figure in the underworld. But Harvey didn’t know the man’s true identity only that he was someone powerful. He had gotten in touch with the man through Arthur.

The man had promised that once Harveytook control of Blake Security Group, liquidated its assets, and handed over the money, he would take Harvey international for major operation.

To break into the global scene, Harvey was determined to seize the family head position, and nothing was going to stop him. However, in the end, his plans were ruined by Nova, a teenage girl. Harvey naturally wouldn’t accept that. No way would he let her go easily

“I’ll contact the Bloodblade Mercenary Corps to deal with the girl.” With that, the man of the phone warned, “Until then, stay put

The man’s assurance put Harvey completely at ease. After hanging up, he glared coldly from a corner at Nova, who was surrounded by the crowd.

A vicious smile curled his lips. Nova, don’t blame me for being ruthless-you brought this on yourself. Unless you’re a mercenary who can rival the Bloodblade Mercenary Corps, you’re dead this time!’ he thought.

Meanwhile, Nova was encircled by Alfred and the others.

“Good girl, you are truly a worthy successor. Now, you are the new head of the Blake family!” Alfred announced excitedly. According to the rules, the first to pass the “Ultimate Test” became the family head.

A middle-aged woman said, full of smiles, “Congratulations, Nova. I’m Grace Blake, Finley’s wife. Please look after us in the future. You’re truly excellent. Our family is really overflowing with talent.”

“Honestly, Charles is no failure. Look how outstanding his daughter is!” someone else chimed in.

Many main family members surrounded Nova. Before the Ultimate Test, they had despised her. But now, Nova was the new head of the Blake family, and their future depended on her. Their attitude toward her had shifted completely.

In truth. Nova had no interest in the title of family head. What she valued was the assets of Blake Security Group. To her. money meant real security.

“Alright then, I’ll take all the assets of Blake Security Group,” Nova said calmly under Alfred’s expectant gaze. This was her

r commission for helping him secure the head seat of the Blake family.

Her words and calm tone stunned the main family members, who had expected her, like any passionate young person, to declare something inspiring-“I’ll strive to lead our family well!”

But instead, Nova spoke like someone who had seen it all, her words circling back again and again to money.

It was as if she saw winning the “Ultimate Test”, an honorable achievement in others’ eyes, as nothing more than a common mercenary mission.

That didn’t sound like something a normal girl would say.

Alfred and some main family members were stunned. They thought, totally thrown off. Just how much did she love money?’

Only Charles felt a pang of sorrow, thinking, ‘My daughter must have suffered so much during her years away that she sees

money as her only security.

That thought made his chest ache with guilt. He vowed silently, ‘From now on, I’ll do everything to keep her safe and compensate her.

Arthur, Daniel, Finley, and the others emerged from the test site later. When they heard that Nova was the new head of the Blake family, their faces turned grim.

Looking at Nova, Ivy asked in confusion, “How did Nova move so fast? Was she really some big name on the international scene like you?”

“No.” Arthur had changed his opinion of Nova. He said gravely, watching her retreating figure, “Her status and strength are far above mine. I can see it-everything she has been through is on a whole other level.

“I suspect she, like Henry, is a top expert ranked within the top 2000 on the international mercenary leaderboard.”

That was the limit of what Arthur’s imagination could grasp. Anything beyond that… He wouldn’t even dare imagine it. And he would never imagine Nova was that kind of legend.

“What?” Ivy and Jacob were stunned, their mouths agape.

Two days later at Blake Manor, Nova entrusted the newly acquired Blake Security Group to Charles.

The explanation was simple. “I’m still in school and not good at running a business, so I’ll leave it to you, Dad,” Nova said calmly.

From Charles’ decision to take Hannah, Claire, and the other kids into the black market scene on the second floor at the ball as well as his subtle expressions, Nova deduced that his company in Ravenport was in crisis.

Charles had tried to find a partner to bail him out, but he had nowhere to turn.

Nova’s power base was mostly in Western Asendon, Eduardo, and Seamus. Her own influence in Zoria was limited.

To help Charles, she needed her own power in Zoria. Blake Security Group was a good choice. That was exactly why she accepted the test and became the head of the Blake family.

Nova hinted. “You can transfer the company’s funds and supply chains to your company in Ravenport as needed. Dad, I trust your management skills will take it even further.”

Nova’s underlying message was clear. If Charles’ company faced liquidity problems, he could freely use Blake Security Group’s resources for support.

“Nova, you…” Charles was too moved to speak. After years of struggling alone in business, this was the first time he felt he had solid backing, and it came from his daughter.

“Anyway, I’m not cut out for managing companies, so I’m counting on you, Dad.” Nova gave Charles a gentle smile, looking like an ordinary teenage girl.

It was true she wasn’t skilled at corporate management, but she owned a world-renowned arms manufacturer, Anoka Arsenal.

All the firearms, heavy weapons, military tanks, and rocket launchers used by Bloodblade Mercenary Corps were produced by Anoka Arsenal.

Beyond self-supply, global weapons sales brought her billions of dollars in annual revenue. But for now, she decided not to

ell Charles about that.

“Okay, good girl.” Charles was deeply moved. He promised, his voice trembling, “Nova, I will make sure this company thrives for you.”

After two days at Blake Manor, Nova and the others had to return to school due to academic commitments. Amid farewells from the Blake family, they left Fergus.

Ghost-Hammer had already left. He ended his short break, boarding a flight for his next mission.

Everything seemed to return to normal. When Charles drove back to Blake Villa that night, it was past 8 p.m.

The night was deep, and the headlights lit up the familiar tall figure standing quietly in the darkness at the villa’s entrance.

Nova’s eyes widened slightly as she spotted the man. It was Damien. He was waiting, as if anticipating her return.
