My Wife is a Hacker novel (Nicole)

Chapter 1496

Chapter 1496

Nicole had always been somewhat of a daughter to Zane, and yet, he felt like he had become something of a

servant to her now. All in all, it was just an unpleasant feeling for Zane.

Nicole did not notice Zane's reaction as she was pondering about the causes and consequences.

’I'm afraid that the Rebys did not destroy the crests," she said. "Instead, they kept it."

"Are you saying that there are more crests out there?” Carl looked at Nicole, shocked.

Nicole shook her head. "I'm not sure about that, but it's not easy to procure the crests. I'm probably the only person

in this world who can do it."

The three men immediately fell silent after they had heard what she had said. They knew what Nicole was capable

of and that she was not lying.

'Doesn't this mean that Nicole is the only person who can own all five of the crests if she's the only person who can

acquire them?' Zane thought, becoming restless at the notion that Nicole could possibly own more than one of

these.

’Listen, you just got this thing, and it has already gotten you into so much trouble. It'd be best if you do not pursue

the other crests. Otherwise, even Zane's organization won't be able to keep you safe.”

It was a different time as compared to a thousand years ago. Only about two thirds of the families in the Holy

Alliance are still around, and only half of them are considered to be the most prestigious families in the world. It

had been so many years, and there are many more mysterious and ancient families that were equally powerful.

Things would only get worse if those families were to come after the crests.

"It’s better for us to take ownership of them, instead of letting them fall into the hands of those with devious intent."

Nicole looked at Zane with an expression of seriousness on her face.

Zane arched his brows. "Is that why you put yourself at risk?"

Nicole shrugged her shoulders. "What do you think?"

Then, Carl butted in. "It's not. She's only doing this for that kid from the Guzman family. The first order that she

gave the other families was to protect the Guzmans.’

"The Guzman family?" Zane frowned. "What does this have to do with them?"

Jared's gaze darkened as well. "What’s going on? Be specific.”

As things stood, Jared would never let that kid get away if he did anything to put Nicole in danger.

Nicole quickly glared at Carl after realizing that the two men in front of her were going to put the blame on Zeke.

"You don't know anything."

’I..." Carl uttered, but stopped as soon as he realized that he owed his life to Nicole.

"Nicole, what exactly happened? You can't hide from me." Zane looked at Nicole with concern.

He thought that Nicole had become too mature as of recent.

Nicole looked at Zane and tried to play it off as something unimportant.' Zeke got the crest by accident and

someone was going to kill him for it. I was worried that those men won't stop coming after Zeke if I don't do

something, so I took ownership of the crest temporarily.
