As for the poison, Noel silently hoped that Professor Marcel Greenwood’s research might eventually yield a cure to save Rhys.

He couldn’t bear the thought of losing someone who matched him in business acumen.

Noel, who had spent years ridding his family of leeches and claiming his rightful place at the helm, had long dreamed of a business rivalry with Rhys.

Noel’s expression softened slightly, but his furrowed brow betrayed his frustration. Rhys’ predicament clearly infuriated him.

Under ordinary circumstances, Noel would have pursued vengeance on behalf of Rhys, but as he studied the details about Harlee, he resolved to keep his word and look after Harlee, the woman Rhys held dear.

Reviewing her information, Noel couldn’t help but chuckle.

“She doesn’t seem like someone who needs protecting. Rhys, you’ve really handed me a puzzle.” Noel reasoned that approaching Harlee would be no simple task, and staying close to her to care for her promised even greater challenges. What began as just doing a favor for a friend now felt like stepping into a minefield.

But Noel, ever the risk-taker, didn’t shy away from a challenge.

Meanwhile, Harlee, who hadn’t heard from Rhys in weeks, had taken over the reins of the Green Group after a conversation with Nathaniel.

However, she worked discreetly, staying out of the public eye, while Rhys’ cousin, Brixton, managed the group’s external affairs.

After taking over the Green Group from Oaklee’s temporary leadership, Harlee restored the company to full operations within just two weeks, even stabilizing the stock market. Under her covert leadership, the network Rhys had built behind the scenes continued to thrive, expanding its reach in Uwhor and steadily recovering in Claelia.

The Green Group remained dominant among the four major families, and Harlee even made sure Rhys’ reputation as the leader of the “Sovereign of the Underworld” remained intact.

In addition to handling Rhys’ business, Harlee was dedicated to her own pursuits, steadily advancing Shadow Moon Group’s presence in Baythorn.

Brice, who had once been Harlee’s assistant, now played the role of the director of Shadow Moon Group, a move that kept Harlee out of the spotlight and enabled her to steer the operations behind the scenes.

Despite her packed schedule, Harlee never ceased searching for Rhys quietly, entrusting Patrick to investigate without drawing attention. She wanted to shield those around her from unnecessary worry or guilt. If Rhys were still around, she knew he wouldn’t want her to be burdened by self-reproach.

Everything seemed to be getting back on track, except for Nicola’s ongoing suffering due to the Bloodthirstiness Pill.

After dealing with Hale, Harlee and Tonya journeyed to the remote island where Nicola sought solitude to prevent herself from attacking others during an episode.

Despite Harlee’s and Tonya’s desire to cure Nicola, their efforts bore no fruit. Nonetheless, they didn’t give up.

Both continued searching for a solution to heal Nicola.

One evening, after finishing her tasks at the Green Group, Harlee joined Brixton at a modest restaurant they had chosen on a whim. The establishment was quiet due to the early hour, but most of the attention focused on Brixton.

His polished appearance, reminiscent of aristocracy, contrasted starkly with the restaurant’s simple setting.
