Unrivaled Warrior by Ashley Grey - Season 2 Episode 38

Infernal Group

Freya arrived at Jack’s office alone, pretending not to worry about Lucian in the past few days. However, the truth was that she was constantly concerned for his safety. She knew that his situation was dire and that he could be killed at any moment.

This morning, when she saw Oscar’s message: “Anyone who helps Lucian will have to answer to Staleridge War God,” she made a monumental decision.

She would give up everything to stand by Lucian’s side, no matter the circumstances.

Lucian had no one to turn to now, not even Azure Dragon War King was willing to help him. If she left Lucian alone at this moment, he would be completely isolated. She refused to watch him suffer alone.

Even if it meant facing death with him, she was willing to do so with a clear conscience.

“Ms. Harrison, did you come to see me because there’s a problem with the project?” Jack put down his work as soon as he saw Freya and asked.

Freya didn’t beat around the bush and said, “Mr. Asher, I came here today to return the project to your company. I have something important to attend to, and I won’t be able to continue working on this project.

“What do you mean?” Jack was confused and didn’t understand Freya’s intention. He asked, “Are you facing some difficulties? If you tell me, maybe I can help you.”

Although Jack was the CEO of Infernal Group and had strong connections, what could he do if he angered Staleridge War God?

Freya’s face turned pale as she shook her head and handed over a contract, saying, “Mr. Asher, I can’t disclose the reason, but I have made up my mind to return the project to you. You can find someone else to work on it now. The project is 10% complete and on track, and I don’t need the money I advanced.”

“Ah,” Jack sensed Freya’s determination and said, “Maybe I already know what has happened. I know about your husband Lucian and Staleridge War God’s situation. It’s really complicated, but for now, leave the contract with me. When you’re ready to take on the project again, come and get it. Let’s suspend the project for now.

Thank you, Mr. Asher, Freya weakly smiled and nodded. “Then, I’ll take my leave.

“Wait.”

As Freya was about to leave, Jack stood up and asked, “Are you planning to face Staleridge War God with Lucian?”

“Yes, I don’t want to see him face this alone. I am his wife and should accompany him through thick and thin.”

“Even though I know this crisis is severe and there’s a chance of death?”

“But I’m not afraid.

After saying these words with determination, Freya left the office.

Jack stood frozen in place for a good two minutes before slowly speaking up, “What a wonderful wife to have, but Freya, you also have the world’s most outstanding man by your side. Staleridge War God is nothing but a piece of shit in your husband’s eyes. Three days from now, you will be the happiest woman in the world…”

Freya returning the project caused a commotion in the project department of the group.

The news quickly spread to Felix, who had friends in the Infernal Group project department. He immediately rushed back to the Harrison family and shared the latest news with Dax and others.

“What? Is that woman out of her mind? Why would she return the project?” Dax exclaimed in anger, staring daggers at Felix.

Aaron, Hendrick, and the rest of the Harrison family were equally furious upon hearing the news. They couldn’t understand Freya’s actions and thought she must be foolish.

Felix was completely dumbfounded as all eves were on him, and he stuttered out a response, “I…I don’t know.”

“Isn’t it obvious??” Orion, sitting at the head of the table, spoke up. “Returning the project means that Freya can no longer be responsible for it. The only reason she can’t be responsible is that she’s about to die…”

All eyes were fixed on Orion as he spoke.

Dax suddenly realized, “Mr. Lee, are you saying that Freya wants to die with Lucian?

“Hmm, you’re quite clever. Orion weakly coughed twice and responded.

Ever since he lost his venomous bugs. Orion’s health had been deteriorating day by day. However, now he had hope. As long as Lucian was killed by Staleridge War God, he could easily retrieve his venomous bugs.

What a foolish woman,” Dax said angrily, his face turning red.

The rest of the Harrison family was also on the verge of madness. Although they were close to the Gray family, the Gray family did not help them in their careers. Therefore, they placed great importance on the Monsalt Village demolition project, as this was a great opportunity for them to become a second-tier family.

They never thought that Freya would return the project.

This undoubtedly threw away their best chance of rising to power.

They could not allow this to happen.

Eleanor’s expression turned serious. “We absolutely cannot let Freya die alongside Lucian. If Freya dies, we won’t be able to take over the project from Infernal Group. We have to keep her alive.”

“Grandma, this woman is stubborn. She won’t listen to us. Calvin and Nadine chimed in.

“I have a plan,” Orion said confidently with a smile. “You’ve all taken good care of me during this time. Tonight, I’ll take care of this matter for you. Keeping Freya alive won’t be a problem.”

At 9 o’clock that night, in Maple Garden.

As Lucian entered the villa, he felt a heavy atmosphere in the air.

Annie and Frank sat silently at the dining table, with their heads down and a look of despair on their faces. Freya was sitting beside them, constantly giving them instructions, while Minnie sat next to her, staring blankly into space, clutching a worn-out stuffed toy.

When Lucian appeared, the angry gazes of Annie, Frank, and Minnie all focused on him.

Lucian, you scoundrel, you finally came back, Annie seethed with rage. Take back your villa, give us back your money, we don’t want anything from you. Please spare my daughter, we only have one daughter.”

“Mom…what’s wrong?” Lucian looked bewildered, not knowing what had happened.

“Lucian, please let me kneel down and beg you. We only have one daughter. If she dies, what am I going to do? Annie said, tears streaming down her face, as she got down on her knees in front of Lucian.

“Mom, please refrain from doing this,” Freya hurriedly stepped forward to support Annie and firmly stated. “This was my own choice and has no connection to Lucian. You shouldn’t speak to him in such a manner.

Freya then shifted her gaze towards Lucian, her eyes brimming with determination.

“Keep quiet!” Annie angrily yelled at Freya, then turned to Lucian. “Do you have any idea what happened today? Freya returned the project to the Infernal Group and entrusted Minnie to me and your father for care. She intends to accompany you to your demise!”
