?Chapter 1057:


    “Kareem, about what happened…”


    Kareem cut her off.


    “Rest up. I’ll take care of everything.”


    Harlee hesitated before giving a small smile.


    “Alright. Make sure they regret crossing me.”


    Kareem yfully tapped her nose.


    “Trust me. They’ll wish they never tried.”


    His response made Harleeugh, a sound she hadn’t heard from herself in far too long. The room felt lighter, filled with herughter.


    Watching her smile, Kareem also smiled and silently vowed to do whatever it took to keep that joy alive.


    Over thest three years, under Anika’s watchful gaze, Rhys had quietly constructed a new empire, outshining the power he once wielded as the leader of the “Sovereign of the Underworld.” The AQY Group, headquartered in Baythorn, had be the core of operations in Mogluylia.


    On the thirty-second floor, the expansive office of the CEO reflected sophistication, blending shades of ck, gray, and white into an understated yet modern aesthetic.


    Rhys stood before a massive window, his eyes fixed on the Shadow Moon Group building across the street.


    Behind him, a curved monitor disyed an ongoing video conference. Over a dozen participants debated the strategy that had gradually dismantled Anigenia’s stronghold in the area.

    A sharp series of knocks—six in total—broke the room’s silence. The door slid open automatically, and Hamilton entered, his ck suit immacte as always.


    “There’s been movement from Anika.


    Earlier this morning, while you were away…”


    Rhys interrupted before Hamilton could continue, his tone tense.


    “What about Harlee? Is she safe?”


    Hamilton hesitated and then offered a measured response.


    “When two assassins attempted to swap positions, Kareem noticed them, sparking a violent sh.


    Harlee discreetly cooperated with Kareem and yed a pivotal role in subduing those assassins.


    Eyewitnesses say she was already injured before she joined the fight.” Noticing the growing intensity in Rhys’ gaze, Hamilton redirected the conversation.


    “Harlee only endured significant blood loss and fatigue. She’s conscious now.”


    Rhys’ expression darkened, his knuckles whitening as his fist struck the desk.


    “Significant blood loss? Was Anika behind this?”


    “I am not sure,” Hamilton replied.


    “Find out!” Rhys roared, his icy stare fixed on Hamilton.


    “I’ve already dispatched people to investigate,” Hamilton replied quickly.


    “Kareem is also on the move. Should we send additional support?”


    Rhys shook his head and lowered himself into his chair.


    His voice was cold and unyielding.
