The True Heiress: Legend Mode novel Chapter 250

That was the room where she had first met Balfour.

The elite operatives bowed their heads in perfect unison before vanishing into the hotel lobby in a blur of motion.

Belinda’s brother shoved his way to the front, glaring at Juno.

He desperately wanted to curse her out, but seeing the nine apex predators flanking her, he swallowed his words.

No one here could even scratch those nine.

They were ghosts who killed without leaving a trace.

The standoff was suffocating.

Belinda finally stepped up, pulling her brother back slightly. She zeroed in on Lucia. "Ms. Corbett, since when does a total nobody hold more weight here than you do?"

"Mind your own business."

Lucia wasn't stupid. She knew exactly what Belinda was trying to do—spark a civil war. She scoffed inwardly. These spoiled rich girls were so utterly brainless.

She wasn't suicidal. The moment Juno had woken up, her entire aura had shifted into something terrifying. If she wanted to use the Russell family as her personal punching bag, why on earth would Lucia step in and ruin her fun?

Belinda stared at her in absolute shock. Was she crazy?

Since when did the incredibly arrogant Lucia Corbett tolerate being sidelined?

Historically, the only time she ever acted this submissive was when Juno was around.

Wait...

Belinda’s head snapped up. Could she actually be the dead legend herself?

...

The operatives of the Obsidian Court tore through Skyreach Tower with terrifying efficiency. Inside, the elite residents were panicking.

This couldn't go on. If the Obsidian Court kept tearing the place apart, the tower’s reputation as an untouchable sanctuary would be permanently destroyed!

"Enough! What exactly are you looking for?! Just tell us! I'll have my staff find it for you!" the manager pleaded.

Juno completely ignored him, finding his voice annoying.

Belinda jumped in right beside him. "You're crossing the line!"

It had been their grandfather's dying wish to have his ashes laid to rest in Skyreach Tower, so he could watch over the thriving city of Blackwood for eternity.

It was the ultimate symbol of the Russell family's enduring glory.

Outraged, the Russell family guards immediately moved to retaliate.

The operatives of the Obsidian Court drew their weapons in unison. The nine elite assassins stepped forward.

In the blink of an eye, the nine most senior and respected elders of the Russell family had loaded guns pressed directly against their heads.

An absolute massacre was mere seconds away.

Belinda’s brother was hyperventilating. These elders were the pillars of the family. If they died here, the syndicate would literally skin him alive!

He screamed at Juno, "I don't care what you're looking for! But you are not touching those people or my grandfather’s ashes! Anything else is yours!"

Juno’s eyes were completely dead, looking at him like he was already a corpse. "Then you'd better pray I find what I'm looking for. Or I'll scatter his ashes to the wind myself."
