Rafael stared at her.
"But you're not going alone."
She shook her head.
"The message specifically said—"
"I don't care what they said."
Rafael stepped closer.
"They've already broken every rule."
His eyes hardened.
"So why should we follow theirs?"
Noah smiled faintly.
"Finally, someone said it."
Marco raised his hand.
"Enough."
Everyone became silent.
He looked around the hall.
"We can't rush into this."
Rafael's jaw tightened.
"They have my father."
"And that's exactly why you cannot think emotionally."
Rafael glared at him.
Marco didn't back down.
"If they wanted him dead, he would already be dead."
Silence.
Aria slowly understood.
"They need him alive."
Marco nodded.
"Yes."
"Because he's leverage."
Noah walked toward them with the tablet.
"And because they want something."
Aria looked at him.
"The crown."
Noah nodded.
"But I don't think that's all."
He replayed the video.The warehouse appeared again.Noah froze the frame.
"Look."
