<strong>[The Six Musketeers Group Chat]</strong>


    <strong>[Dave:</strong> We’ve already sent people to investigate, and the individual is in police custody. The authorities are actively working to crack the case and identify the mastermind behind this.]


    <strong>[Dave:</strong> Rest assured, the police are on it, and they’re providing regr updates as we keep an eye on things from here.]


    <strong>[Luke:</strong> Exactly, we’ve been in touch with them throughout the race. You guys can trust they’re doing everything they can. For now, we need to focus on investigating who might have orchestrated this on our end. I have a strong feeling it’s someone from back home.]


    <strong>[Dave:</strong> Our country’s embassy in Barcelona has already reached out to local authorities. They’re emphasizing the gravity of the situation to ensure no one cks off. We’re making sure every stone is unturned.]


    <strong>[Rafael:</strong> Good. We’ll get to the bottom of this. No one’s getting away with it.]


    <strong>[Luke:</strong> Agreed. Let’s make sure we’re covering all angles. We’ll all do what we can on our end.]


    <strong>[Luke:</strong> Right, it won’t be long before we uncover who’s behind this.


    <strong>[Rafael:</strong> That motherfucker must’ve known we were all behind Hera and still tried to hurt her. That means they didn’t care—this is a direct challenge to our authority and power. We need to make an example out of this.]


    <strong>[Leo:</strong> You bet we will.]


    <strong>[Luke:</strong> Leo, how’s Hera holding up?]


    <strong>[Leo:</strong> She’s just exhausted. We came straight from the country, and with everything that happened, she had to race without proper rest. Her body’s exhaustion just caught up with her, but don’t worry, she’s fine.]


    <strong>[Dave:</strong> Thank God.]


    <strong>[Zhane:</strong> How’s her mentality, though? Do you think she’s traumatized?]


    <strong>[Leo:</strong> No way. You’re underestimating our girl. She’s stronger than you think—she’s amazing.]


    <strong>[Xavier:</strong> No doubt about that.]


    [Dave: ( ?? ? )Heehee]


    [Dave: I like that, our girl...]


    <strong>[Rafael:</strong> By the way, I heard Larry Wickman cornered a lot of sponsors and made sure they paid dearly for targeting Hera before. Do you think the sponsors could have orchestrated this?]


    <strong>[Luke:</strong> No, they wouldn’t risk something this bold. It would reflect badly on them—especially their public image. A scandal like this would ruin their reputation and potentially hurt their business.]


    <strong>[Zhane:</strong> It could be a personal vendetta, but I don’t think Hera has done anything to provoke something this extreme. Disfiguring her seems... too much.]


    <strong>[Dave:</strong> I’m leaning towards that theory, too. It’s more likely to be someone, maybe even a woman, who’s consumed by jealousy.]


    <strong>[Dave:</strong> I think it’s exactly that. Think about it—Hera’s not just beautiful and sexy, she’s powerful, sessful, and rising in poprity. That kind of sess can stir a lot of jealousy, especially in other women who can’t stand seeing someone rise like that.]


    <strong>[Xavier:</strong> So you’re saying that whoever did this, wanted to tear her down in front of her fans, to make them watch her fall from grace? They wanted to show the world that without her face, she’s nothing?]


    <strong>[Rafael:</strong> My sister also mentioned that maybe the woman was jealous of Hera because she’s always surrounded by so many amazing men. If Hera lost her beauty, would we still be interested in her? Would we just toss her aside?]


    <strong>[Dave:</strong> Ha! Looks like your sister’s got a good understanding of the human psyche, huh?!]


    [Dave: (?_?)]


    [Rafael: Fuck you, Dave!]


    [Rafael: She already admitted her previous mistake, but she was also scared of what almost happened with Hera that she was egging me to know more.]


    [Rafael: But now that we are on the topic and you guys are trying to specte who might be behind this, she just also thinks of the possibility.]


    [Xavier: I think, what she said was more urate than thinking this is the doing of the sponsors.]


    [Xavier: In the entertainment industry, this kind of thing wasn’t the first, many fans have tried doing this for their idol, but most times, they are doing this to the third party who was trying to ruin the CP idols they are shipping.]


    [Xavier: But, currently, Hera hasn’t offended anyone.]


    [Dave: Do you think that man is one of your fans and was targeting Hera because they don’t want you to be in a romantic rtionship with her? @Xavier?]


    [Xavier: I don’t think so. Maybe, Minerva was right, this must be either a doing of a woman in the entertainment industry and thought that Hera was on their way. So that means, that the woman might be an influential one who thinks her poprity was being affected by Hera’s rise to stardom or it could be out of jealousy.]


    [Leo: But we could also think that this has something to do with the syndicate that Hera got involved in during her rescue of Rafael, after all, she inadvertently became their enemy after she became the instrument in their capture. the remnants of those syndicates must be sending a message with this.]


    [Dave: ...]


    [Zhane: ...]


    [Luke: ...]


    [Rafael: ...]


    [Dave: Damn! I almost forgot about them!]


    [Rafael: It’s indeed highly likely them, they are unscrupulous and wouldn’t think of their method.]


    [Zhane: They must have done this so we would leave Hera alone and once that happens, they would be free to do whatever they wanted with her.]


    [Luke: If it was really them, I can also agree that they could indeed do this. Once we are out, they could exact their revenge and might be nning to make it slow and painful. After all, if they think that we are with Hera because of her beauty, ruining her beauty would be the best option.]


    [Luke: We have yet to uproot them, and they must be really angry with what happened in the mountains.]


    [Leo: Most likely, people like them will not stop, an eye for an eye, they say.]


    [Xavier: Then, what are we going to do, if it was really them?]


    [Dave: Are you scared?]


    [Dave: <(?? _?)>]


    [Xavier: As if]


    [Leo: Just like what they say, An eye for an eye. we’ll retaliate to whoever tried to hurt Hera and we’ll give tenfold of what she received.]


    [Rafael: Generous, aren’t we? I like it...]


    [Dave: ( ＾?＾)っ?╰?╯]
