Chapter 239: In a matter of hours, his world had crumbled

Lu Hanbing stepped forward with slow deliberate steps, his gaze hardening as he placed his hands on Hirvan's shoulder from behind. His touch was firm and protective, like a shield enveloping the young man. With a calm but authoritative tone, he addressed Irama without breaking eye contact.

"Mr Santini, I think it's time for you to leave. I trust you'll heed Hirvan's warning and stay away from now on."

Upon hearing the conversation, Irama's expression had turned grim, and a flicker of pain crossed his eyes. For a brief moment, his gaze shifted to Hirvan, who stood frozen in Lu Hanbing's protective hold. He realised that even getting a glimpse of Hirvan would not be allowed after what Hirvan had said. These two men would ensure that even the possibility of contact would be severed.
