“No.”
Tess frowned and refused outright.

Raven didn’t understand. “It actually sounds pretty good, and it wouldn’t <b>mess </b>up our original n.”
Tess shook her head, her tone firm. “Henry already had Nichs testify for him. To <b>Henry</b>, Nichs has no more value. The only reason he’s keeping him now is that he’s afraid Nichs will spill his secrets.
“In that case, I can’t guarantee Nichs and Rachel’s safety.”
That exnation dropped the room into silence.
It was true.
Once Nichs had agreed to be a witness against Henry<i>, </i>he became their ally. As people, they couldn’t just abandon his life and safety.
Raven yanked off her headset in frustration and tossed it onto the desk.
“That won’t work, this won’t work–then what can we do?!”
She’d thought it was just a kidnapping. With her skills, finding them would’ve been easy. Who would’ve guessed Hunt Group would be involved?
They couldn’t investigate, and they couldn’t search.
Knock, knock, knock…
Suddenly, urgent knocking sounded at the door.
They exchanged looks. Tess signaled Raven to lock theputer screen, then went to answer it.
A maid from the Dickinson Residence stood outside.
She bowed cautiously to Tess, then looked toward Connor. “Mr. Hale, there’s someone here iming to be from Hunt Group.”
<i>Hunt </i>Group?

The two words made everyone jump to their feet. “Hunt Group?”
They echoed each other, shock in in their eyes.
“It must be someone Max sent. What does he want? To provoke us?”
Raven was on the verge of exploding.

Lyra quickly grabbed her arm, trying to calm her down, while looking at Tess for guidance.
Connor looked to Tess as well, waiting for her call.
“Let him in.”
Tess’s voice dropped. The turmoil in her eyes vanished, reced by a cold, solid calm like <i>a </i>fortress wall.
The maid looked at Connor, who nodded, signaling her to do as Tess said.
She left quickly, and soon returned with a short, middle–aged man in a neat suit.
He swept his gaze around the room like a radar, taking in everyone present. Then he tugged his tie and cleared his throat. “I’m the new vice president of Hunt Group. I’m here at your humble home to pass a message from our CEO.”
Even Lyra, who was usually the most polite, frowned.
“Your humble home,” as a self–deprecating phrase, felt painfully out of ce here.
Connor couldn’t help ncing around.
He was the regional head of Cavrielle; this vi had cost a fortune and had been designed by him personally. And now someone called it a “humble home.”
Heughed softly. “<i>So </i>what message did you bring to our ‘humble home‘ today?”
The man took it as ttery and lifted his stubby neck proudly, like a bald duck trying to mimic
a swan.
It was ridiculous.
Raven couldn’t hold it in and snorted withughter.
That set the man off.

Raven covered her mouth and looked up at the ceiling, then down at the floor. “Nothing.”
He felt offended but couldn’t quite argue back. He turned away stiffly and said, “Mr. Hunt says, if you want the Woods to stay alive, he wants Ms. Tess to go meet him and talk face to face.
“Mr. Hunt is very easy to talk to.”
He curled his lips into a stiff smile that looked anything but friendly.
Lyra frowned, feeling ufortable.
Tess hadn’t expected Max to make the first move.
She raised an eyebrow and smiled. “And when is Mr. Hunt free?”
“All day today. But he’ll only see Ms. Ember.”
“Alright. I understand.”
When a good opportunity presents itself, you don’t refuse it.
Tess turned to grab her bag. Just as her fingers touched the strap, she looked back at the strange man still standing in the middle of the room. “Why are you still here?”
The man froze and flushed. Arrogance started to creep back onto his face. But Raven had already had enough. She grabbed him by the cor, dragged him to the door, and kicked him straight out.
“Ahhh!”
He lost his footing and crashed to the ground, screaming.
Bang!
Raven mmed the door shut.
“Ah! You lunatics! My leg!”
The door shook from his pounding outside. Raven kicked it again so hard that it boomed, the whole house seeming to tremble.
