He said it like it didn’t matter. Like Trevor was a problem someone else should worry about.
He knew who the Levingtons were. Yes, their main base of operations was in Glenwick.
Though he never talked to them before, he knew them. Their head of family, Thaddeus, was ranked fifteen on the Astria Power Index, and his signature technique was the Heart-Crushing Palm. In Glenwick, he reigned supreme, and his family was the de facto top dogs in this region.
Though intimidating to most people, families like the Levingtons were nothing but insects to Leander.
That quiet confidence almost made Maeve smile. Almost.
She only told him who Trevor was to enlighten the guy and stop him from starting another fight. She would rather nothing happen to this person she met on the plane.
She studied him again. His clothes were plain, nothing fancy. His whole vibe felt low-key, like someone who stayed far from the spotlight. She figured maybe he just didn’t understand who the Levington family really was.
So, she sighed and gave him the full picture.
“You might not know them, but they’re scary. The kind of scary that even politicians respect. They basically own Glenwick. Forty percent of the city’s money moves through them. They’re not just rich. They’re powerful.
“You’re from Ravenridge, right? You know the Halloway family? The Levingtons are like that in Glenwick, maybe even worse.
“The guy in charge is Thaddeus. Trevor’s his youngest son p>
She thought that would finally sink in. She expected his face to shift, even just a little. But it didn’t.
Leander stayed quiet for a beat, then lifted his eyes and shrugged. “So what?” His voice stayed steady. Not even a pause. “I don’t care if he’s Thaddeus’ son. Hell, I wouldn’t care if Thaddeus himself showed up in front of me. He’d still have to show me respect. He’d bow his head like I’m the elder. Trevor wants to act big? He can come back when he grows up p>
Maeve stared at him like she’d just seen a ghost.

She had thought he was quiet, maybe even soft. But this? This was something else. He didn’t just ignore Trevor’s status. He looked down on it like it meant nothing.
The Levington family in Glenwick held real power. With Thaddeus-one of the strongest martial artists alive-supporting them, even the Reynes had to stay a step behind.
If her sister Emma hadn’t joined the Tri-Peak Sect and become Yannick’s personal disciple, their entire family wouldn’t have stood a chance. They could’ve poured out everything they had and still fallen short. That was how overwhelming the Levington name truly was.
But then there was Leander. His words were so arrogant that they didn’t even seem real. He brushed off the Levingtons like they were nobodies. He even claimed Thaddeus would show him respect and act like a junior in front of him. It sounded like something pulled out of a fantasy novel.
There might be a few people in Astria who could make Thaddeus bow his head, but for him to step forward, show real respect, and greet someone with his head low?
That kind of treatment was reserved for living legends-people who could shake cities just by walking through them.
Leander looked like he had just finished a college midterm. Maybe twenty at most. Maeve couldn’t figure out how someone that young could say those things with a straight face.
Honestly, just dealing with Trevor should’ve been enough to crush him.
She watched him from the corner of her eye. He leaned back in his seat, looking like he didn’t have a care in the world. That calm look made her shake her head.
Leander wasn’t just confident. He was blind. Anyone who walked through the world with that kind of pride was bound to trip-and fall hard. If this mess hadn’t started because of her, she wouldn’t have lifted a finger to help. She would’ve let Trevor deal with him and walked away.
But since it had started with her, she felt responsible. So, she decided she’d block Trevor just long enough for Leander to get out of the airport safely. She didn’t want another scene.
Still, whatever curiosity she had about him was gone. She had felt something earlier-just a flicker-but now it had vanished. What remained was frustration. That kind of blind self-confidence only made people harder to deal with. Maeve wasn’t interested in babysitting someone who didn’t understand the weight of the world. The rest of the flight passed in silence. She didn’t speak to him again. She had even thought about taking off her sunglasses earlier and letting him see her face. That thought disappeared. She didn’t want to know him. She didn’t even want to remember his name.
And Leander? He didn’t seem bothered by her silence either.

He stayed locked into his phone, playing a game in flight mode. He didn’t speak, didn’t glance. at her, and didn’t react at all until the plane touched down in Ravenridge.
As soon as they landed, Leander stood up and left.
Behind him, Trevor made a move like he was about to follow, but Maeve stepped in and cut him off with a calm excuse. She didn’t raise her voice, but she bought Leander the time he needed. She watched his back as he disappeared through the crowd. Her gaze lingered for a second, then she looked away.
The only reason she’d paid attention to him at all was because, for one brief moment, he had reminded her of that person-the one she still couldn’t forget. But now? Now she told herself he was just a stranger on the same flight. Just another passing face.
She never would’ve imagined the boy who barely acknowledged her was the same one she had spent years missing.
Once he got into Ravenridge, Leander didn’t slow down.
He headed straight for the Leandrix Tower. Even though the company had become
a subsidiary of Jeff Enterprises, Frankie still liked to work out of the original building.
It felt familiar, and he wasn’t in a rush to leave that comfort behind.
The moment Frankie saw Leander walk in, he grabbed a folder and hurried over.
“This is the final schedule for tomorrow night’s gala,” he said, handing over the pages.
Leander flipped through the papers, then gave a small nod.
“You’ve done well. Everything looks tight. I knew you’d handle it. You’ve really got a head for business p>
Frankie smiled but stayed humble. “That’s all thanks to the team’s effort. And your leadership, of course p>
Then he paused, like something had just clicked in his mind. He pulled out another folder. “Almost forgot. Here’s the list of performers for the gala. And the celebrity we invited to be our brand ambassador? She just arrived in Ravenridge. I’ve already set her up at the Sky Hotel.
“She’ll perform tomorrow night and stick around for three more days to shoot a few ads for the Phoenix Essence Pill.
“This is her file p>
Frankie handed over a sheet and a few glossy photos.
Leander took them. But as he read through the name, his brow twitched. His eyes narrowed

“Maeve?” he muttered. “She’s the one we hired p>
