Rhys’ response was a soft, amused hum, his words laced with a hint of admiration.

“I’m impressed you noticed such a minor detail. If you keep this up, I’ll have no secrets left to guard, not even my hidden stash of sweets.”

With a gentle pat on his chest, Harlee’s eyes narrowed playfully.

“Come on, cut the jokes. Tell me.”

“What’s the situation with Elvin and Liam at this moment?” Harlee asked. She had been swamped with managing Hale’s challenges and Robbie’s troubles recently, losing track of Elvin’s and Liam’s cunning maneuvers. Now, with a moment to breathe, she was eager to catch up on their exploits.

Rhys knew he couldn’t evade the topic any longer.

“Elvin sneaked a mole into Liam’s group, aiming to mess with his car as a harsh lesson. Liam, on his part, isn’t just sitting back.

He’s turned an old housekeeper loyal to the Juarez family into his informant to sniff out any suspicious moves. To the world, they might seem like buddies, but behind the scenes, they’re each laying traps to bring the other down.”

Harlee was captivated by the depth of Rhys’ network, even to the extent of knowing who had been bribed.

“So, you actually orchestrated the placement of those spies?”

Rhys responded with a half-smile, acknowledging her perceptiveness.

“Indeed, you see right through it, Harlee. Their plans were unfolding at a snail’s pace, and your distress over it was palpable. Thus, I expedited things a bit. Naturally, both Elvin and Liam believe they’re outsmarting each other. I just lent a hand.”

Through it all, the Gill Group, merely a corporate veneer, succeeded in swaying a trusted servant of a wealthy family.

All the while, Liam, blinded by his own ego, never questioned the ease of his machinations.

And yet, Elvin somehow found a way to be even more outrageous.

He naively believed that a mere tens of thousands of dollars would be sufficient to persuade a driver’s cousin, a total stranger, to stake everything for him. Such a pitiful judgment.

Did he truly hold such a trivial view of ordinary folks?

Piecing the situation together, Harlee flashed a languid smile, her interest waning swiftly.

She shifted her focus to another subject.

“By the way, regarding those men you lent me last time, did you train them yourself? Robbie couldn’t stop talking about how disciplined they were.

He said they were sharper than the soldiers from Uwhor!”

“Yes, they’re mine,” Rhys confirmed with a casual flick of his wrist.

“Harlee, I think I failed to mention… I go by another name, the leader of Sovereign of the Underworld.”

Harlee found herself momentarily at a loss for words. She had always considered herself quite remarkable, yet here was someone surpassing even her grandeur.

Contemplating the challenges her brothers had set for Rhys, Harlee suddenly shed all her previous concerns. It wasn’t Rhys’ capability that worried her now. It was whether her brothers could withstand the blow to their pride after Rhys handled the challenges so effortlessly.

“Not intrigued enough to probe further?” Rhys teased, an amused glint in his eye.
