Chapter 1309: He didn't want to risk her safety. Their enemies weren't just crooks; they were con artists, dangerous people. He was sure he and his team could handle it.
Norah tightened her grip on his hand, her eyes steady. "Sean, don't fret about me. You know my skills in combat. Tis of the essence. Let's go already!" Norah stayed close, following the group as they approached the location. Just before they arrived, they received an update from Kelvin.
Kelvin revealed, "I checked things out. There are over twenty people inside, but I can't tell what kind of weapons they've got." If a fight broke out, Sean's men would likely be able to handle themselves. That gave Norah a bit of comfort. Her job was to get Sean's mother out during the commotion. It wouldn't be easy, though. With the hostage involved, the situation was complicated.

Behind the villa, the forest stretched out, offering the enemies a quick escape if things went south.
Norah carefully assessed her surroundings, piecing together the situation in her mind.
The villa's perimeter was secured with electrified fencing; a single touch could be lethal.

"Nancy!" Phillip's voice boomed from a loudspeaker, capturing the attention of those inside. Figures appeared at the villa's windows.
Norah detected the presence of snipers targeting them, potentially hidden within the villa.

Sean truly spared no expense, employing many from Sacredice-such lavish spending was typical of him.
"Sean, good to see you. Where's Matteo? Didn't he come? Is he too e scared to see his wife suffer? Nancy laughed softly, covering her mouth. "Oh, don't worry. I have only starved her. How could I mistreat her when she's been so kind to me?"
Then, turning to Norah, her eyes flashed with envy. "Oh, and Norah's here too. I'm genuinely surprised that Sean would bring you to such a perilous place."
