title = Messing With Her? Are You Crazy! Chapter N
Silence blanketed the room.
The men exchanged heavy glances.
There was only one opportunity.
Project Zero-Transit wouldn’t wait.
The Semi-Finished Assets locked inside The Sanctum Vault could very well be the linchpin to The Black Sun’s sinister ambitions.
They couldn’t afford to walk away.
And they knew their Serena would never back down.
Nobody spoke.
Each of them was frantically organizing their internal scripts, preparing to execute the next phase of their performance.
As long as they acted convincing enough, they could fool Serena and each other, ensuring they would be the ones facing the danger while keeping her safe at home.
Just as they were all preparing to voice their ‘reluctant’ alternative plans, Serena broke the silence with a calm, even tone.
“I actually do have an idea p>
The words died in the men’s throats. They all stared at her.
Serena’s expression was indifferent. “Since infiltrating together is off the table, we pivot to perimeter support p>
Everyone froze.
Wasn’t that exactly what they were about to suggest?
They hadn’t even begun their final act, and Serena was already handing them the perfect setup?
A sudden wave of guilt washed over them. Had she seen through their ruse?
But looking at her face, there was nothing but cool logic. The beautiful, aloof young woman seemed entirely focused on solving the tactical problem at hand.
“I am boarding that ship. There’s clearly no time to forge new passes for the rest of you,” she stated matter-of-factly.
“If you can’t stomach the thought of me going in without backup, there’s only one viable option left p>
“I go in. You coordinate the external extraction p>
The men’s hearts skipped a beat.
Serena’s proposal was almost identical to their hidden agenda.
This was exactly how they had planned to play it.
Wait for the ‘single passenger’ rule to drop, vehemently object to her going alone, and then begrudgingly ‘compromise p>
They were supposed to reluctantly agree to let her board, promising to handle the perimeter.
And then p>
They would find a way to knock her out or lock her in her room while they individually boarded the ship under their secret aliases.
They never expected Serena to hand them the exact strategy on a silver platter.
The more they thought about it, the guiltier they felt, yet they couldn’t spot a single flaw in her flawless facade.
Finally, Julian broke the silence. “Your proposal… is sound p>
“It’s our only viable option at this point p>
He adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses. “I’ll coordinate our overseas assets to ensure
we have a rapid extraction team ready at a moment’s notice p>
His tone perfectly conveyed a brother forced into a painful compromise.
Jerrick’s expression was carved from stone. He stared at Serena for a long time before his voice grated outightly if you insist on boarding. I’ll deploy Drake Hunter and request federal maritime backup to establish a perimeter blockade p>
Jasper clicked his tongue. “Well, if Julian and Jerrick are taking those angles, I’ll mobilize my dark web contacts. I’ll keep a close eye on the Hunter chatter p>
Nicholas kept his lips pressed in a thin line, saying nothing.
Serena’s thumb gently stroked the back of his hand before she added quietly Just because we can’t board together doesn’t mean we arent fighting side by side. T trusting you all to watch my back p>
The three brothers’ expressions softened visibly.
They pressed their lips into tight lines of determination.
They weren’t just going to watch her back.
They were going to annihilate anything that dared look in her direction!
They looked at Serena. “Just because we aren’t on the ship doesn’t mean we aren’t
there p>
“Serena, you have to promise us—no reckless heroics once you’re on board p>
They all looked devastatingly serious.
As if they had truly been forced to surrender to the circumstances.
