Messing With Her? Are You Crazy! novel Chapter 1453

The blood-red font looked as though fresh crimson was slowly seeping into the screen.

Piercing.

Macabre.

Arrogant beyond measure.

Jasper slammed his fist onto the solid wood desk. "Son of a bitch! This is a blatant provocation! Who the hell does he think he is, challenging us like this?!"

The polite smile had been completely wiped from Julian's face, replaced by a terrifying, arctic wrath. "Obsidian Sun wants to use Whitecliffe Harbor—a completely lawless zone—to corner Serena and steal Grandma's legacy in one swoop."

It was a naked, unapologetic trap.

The Raven had served the exact coordinates of Whitecliffe Harbor on a silver platter.

He had provided the precise docking time for Project Zero-Transit.

He had even explicitly named Aria Wynn.

This was...

"An invitation to the slaughter," Nicholas said, his striking eyes devoid of any warmth as he stared at the raven crest. "The Raven is certainly bold."

The enemy had placed all their cards on the table.

They never cared about the Sinclair family or any of the expendable pawns they had sacrificed.

From the very beginning, their sole objective had been the core data of Aria Wynn.

And their ultimate prize was the granddaughter Aria had personally mentored—Serena Lancaster.

Whitecliffe Harbor was a notorious dead zone.

No laws, no jurisdictions, no mercy.

Obsidian Sun chose to dock Project Zero-Transit there specifically to bait her into an inescapable cage.

Through it all, Serena remained utterly silent.

She stared at the invitation, her gaze locking onto the words "Bring Aria's Key."

The shadows in her eyes deepened.

Suddenly, a low, breathy laugh escaped her lips.

"The second you step foot in that harbor, you are playing their game."

The three brothers stared at her.

Their eyes were tight with suffocating anxiety.

Because everyone in the room knew exactly why the data regarding Aria Wynn had been recovered.

They knew exactly why The Raven had specifically invoked Aria's Key.

It was the one thing Serena could never walk away from.

Anything concerning her grandmother was a thread she would follow to the ends of the earth.

Serena knew her brothers were terrified that her emotional attachment to her grandmother would override her logic, leading her straight into the slaughterhouse.

But her expression was perfectly composed, showing no reckless impulse or blind rage.

"Obsidian Sun amputated the Sinclair branch with terrifying speed," she said evenly. "That proves the Sinclair supply line was directly wired into their core."

"The Raven exposed his own stronghold at Whitecliffe Harbor just to bait me. That means whatever is on Project Zero-Transit is infinitely more valuable than the entire Sinclair empire."
