Chapter 873: Even though...
Harlee hadn't said a word or shown any emotion, but Ritchie could sense the weight of guilt hanging over her. Ritchie approached Harlee slowly, his voice low and steady.

Green are fine. They were just tied up but weren't hurt." Despite his words, a pang of sympathy struck Ritchie.

They didn't know how they had fallen asleep or why they had woken up here, but one thing was certain: they were in deep trouble.
Despite knowing their fate, they clenched their jaws, determined to remain silent.
Even though sof them were dragged away for private privatequestioning, their screams echoing through the halls, they stayed resolute, refusing to spill a word.
As soon as Harlee and Ritchie entered, the remaining seven men visibly paled, fear creeping onto their faces. They had all heard the warning from their leader, who, upon regaining consciousness, had told them to beware of Harlee, haunted by the fear of dealing with her before passing out. Anyone who could strike fear into their leader had to be someone terrifying.
However, sof the men remained skeptical, their disdain apparent as they sized up Harlee. They thought she was just a woman, someone they could easily intimidate. Harlee strolled to the table with an almost languid air, leaning against the edge as she flipped through the documents, her movements slow and deliberate.
