The True Heiress: Legend Mode novel Chapter 305

"Not yet."

Lucia slammed her fist onto the armrest of a nearby chair. "Why isn't she awake?!"

The subordinate shot her a confused look before suggesting carefully, "Should I send someone over to check on her?"

Lucia's expression stiffened. "No. Let her rest."

She could only pray that Morgan wasn't being tortured too badly.

"Are the men in position?" she asked sharply.

"Yes, ma'am. The strike teams you dispatched have fully surrounded The National Court of Justice headquarters."

A force of over a thousand heavily armed operatives.

If the agency dared to cross the line.

The Obsidian Court would rain artillery on them.

If they couldn't blow the building to dust, they didn't deserve their reputation.

It was the only play she had right now.

But what gnawed at her was the timing. The bombing of the institute happened a while ago. Why were they suddenly demanding accountability now?

"Have we looked into who The National Court of Justice is aligned with lately?" she murmured to herself.

The subordinate recalled a recent intel brief. "It's been a while, but if I remember correctly, they have deep ties to the Yates family."

Lucia fell silent. A dark realization dawned on her: the agency's real target was never Juno.

It was Morgan.

If she were part of the Yates family trying to take Juno down, stripping away her right-hand man would be the perfect first strike.

Meanwhile, at The National Court of Justice.

As a high-value detainee, Morgan was heavily escorted from the transport van straight to a subterranean interrogation cell. The corridors were lined with guards armed with assault rifles. Not even a bird could escape.
