The True Heiress: Legend Mode novel Chapter 304

"Fine. Come on in, then."

Lucia mocked, tossing the radio aside.

It was pure, unadulterated confidence.

The layout of the Obsidian Court was notoriously treacherous. The core command centers sat perfectly in the middle, radiating outward into a literal labyrinth. The pathways were lined with dense trees no taller than six feet, offering zero cover for intruders. Anyone foolish enough to try an aerial drop would be blown out of the sky by anti-air defenses before they even cleared the perimeter.

The Obsidian Court was an impenetrable fortress.

Lucia glanced at her driver. "Can I go back to sleep now?"

The driver jolted slightly, meeting her gaze in the rearview mirror, too intimidated to offer a casual response.

When he stayed silent, Lucia didn't press him, leaning back to see what the agents would do next.

The Court agents stepped toward Lucia's SUV but were instantly blocked by her guards.

Unfazed, the lead agent held up a document. "This is an official extraction warrant. You might want to consider if shielding one person is worth pitting the entire Obsidian Court against The National Court of Justice."

A blatant threat.

Lucia fought the urge to have them all executed right there in the snow.

They had no idea who they were dealing with.

On the surface, the Obsidian Court operated as a massive commercial conglomerate. But in the shadows, their real empires were heavy naval engineering and global arms dealing.

That was why they were feared worldwide.

For The National Court of Justice to push them this hard meant someone powerful was pulling the strings.

Lucia refused to budge, and the agents didn't seem in a rush.

As the standoff dragged on, the heavy iron gates slowly parted.

Morgan, dressed impeccably in black, stepped forward. Behind the gold-rimmed glasses, his eyes were calm and completely devoid of emotion. A subordinate walked beside him, holding a large black umbrella to shield him from the blizzard.

Morgan's crisp voice cut through the howling wind. "I'm the one who bombed the institute. Take me."
