He had heard about the recent actions taken by the PGA Tour and BMW, but his own obligations had kept him so busy that it took considerable effort to carve out time for Hera.


    Even the brief moment of free time he managed to secure the other night had required a significant struggle, just so he could be by her side.


    And what was meant to be a quiet night of rest turned into something far more memorable than just sleeping.


    After experiencing intimacy for the first time, Leo found himself, like Xavier, Rafael, and Zhane, unable to forget the sensation.


    The lingering emotions were so consuming that they began to distract him from his work—a dangerous liability given the stakes.


    Determined to regain focus and at the same time protect Hera, he decided to return and assist her in addressing her situation to put his mind at ease.


    Luke had also caught wind of the turmoil brewing around Hera, which fueled his worries and prompted him to rush back to her side.


    His concerns mirrored Leo’s, driven by the need to ensure her safety.


    Meanwhile, Dave, who had learned about Michael’s downfall and the humiliation of the National Race Team’s former sponsor, recognized the connections behind the scenes.


    He knew that some of the people supporting the PGA Tour and BMW were politicians who were opposed to him and his faction.


    This exined the audacity of PGA Tour and BMW in attempting to block Hera’s flight out of the country.


    They had been pressuring airline owners, confident in their influence.


    However, they failed to realize that not every major airline would bow to their demands.


    One such airline, owned by the Montague family, had already been secured by Dave.


    Since Xavier had distanced himself from his family and refused to engage—fearing they might drag him back to manage thepany—Dave had taken matters into his own hands and spoken with them directly.


    Dave came to reassure Hera that she and her team would be able to leave the country without any issues.


    Luke shared the same intention, driven by his concern for Hera’s safety and sess.


    Leo, on the other hand, was less focused on the logistics of the flight. His anger burned at the thought of someone conspiring against Hera and potentially putting her in harm’s way.


    "Xavier, did you know?" Dave asked cryptically as Xavier strode toward the elevator, Leo walking beside him while Luke and Dave followed close behind.


    Xavier didn’t pause or respond, his expression unreadable as he continued forward. Undeterred by the silence, Dave pressed on.


    "The PGA Tour, BMW, and the other sponsors who sided with Michael to suppress Hera during the recent race are now actively working together to block her and the entire National Race Team from flying out of the country," Dave revealed, his toneced with both frustration and concern.


    Xavier froze mid-step, his eyes shing dangerously for a brief moment before the emotion vanished as quickly as it appeared.


    His face settled into a neutral expression, betraying none of his thoughts.


    "But don’t worry," Dave said, a smug smile ying on his lips as he continued walking.


    "I know you don’t want to contact your family for favors, so I took the liberty of reaching out to them under my name."


    "I made sure to secure a ne and ensure Hera can be escorted safely to the race venue. I believe Luke also did something simr."


    Xavier nced back at Dave, his gaze shifting briefly to Luke. He didn’t appear angry; instead, he raised an eyebrow at the two of them before stepping into the elevator without a word.


    "You’re worrying too much," Leo said casually, pressing the button for the ground floor.


    "Those people won’t be able to control every airline and force them to follow their orders. And even if they could, we have private nes at our disposal."


    "Oh? You have a private ne?" Luke asked, a teasing glint in his eye, his curiosity piqued.


    He wasn’t the only one—Zhane, Rafael, Xavier, and Dave all had their own nes as well. They often traveled abroad, and it was far too inconvenient to flymercially.


    Sharing a flight with regr passengers meant their schedules could easily be leaked to the paparazzi, and theirpetitors would quickly catch wind of their ns.


    This was especially true for Dave, who was deeply involved in politics and often had to travel abroad for peace talks.


    His safety could be at serious risk if a terrorist were to get a hold of his itinerary and board the same flight.


    Zhane, on the other hand, frequently flew to medical conferences, conducted research, or traveled to countries with challenging health crises where his expertise was needed.


    Xavier’s family owned thergest airline in the country, with a vast internationalwork, so it was no surprise that he had a fleet of private nes at his disposal—something they’d umted over the years as the one thing theycked.


    Rafael and Luke also had their own nes, preferring the convenience and privacy to avoid the hassle ofmercial flights and the risk of their itineraries being leaked. As for Leo, it was unclear whether he had one as well.


    Could a manager afford to buy a private ne, even if they worked for an internationally renownedpany? Absolutely not.


    So, none of them ever considered that Leo might have his own private ne. For them, the issue of Hera not being able to fly out was something that could be easily resolved.


    The reason Dave and Luke approached the Montague family wasn’t due to ack of nes or flight options—it was because they needed stronger backing at the airport.


    With the support of thergest airline, they could ensure that even if their opposition bribed someone on the inside, the officers would be less likely to create trouble for Hera and her team.
