Chapter 9 Inside the Federal Police Bureau , Olivia sat in her chair , looking visibly upset .. She found the whole situation absurd . Back home , where the laws were strict , she and Julian had never gotten caught . Yet somehow , they'd gotten detained in a country where the laws were supposed to be more relaxed . Julian sat beside her , his expression just as grim . The alt around him was thick with a clangerous , oppressive energy . Since the day Olivia met him , he'd always carried himself with a lary , laid - back attitude . His words could be annoying , but he'd never once come off as someone with a temper . This was the first time Olivia had seen him actually angry . She thought , ' Well , fair enough . Anyone would be pissed after getting dragged into a police bureau Just then , Julian's voice came quietly from her side . " You really don't recognize me ? " Olivia looked over , puzzled . " Are you ta famous or something ? " Julian's expression darkened . " So when you chose me back then , it wasn't because I looked familiar ? You just thought I was hot and had a good body , huh ? " Olivia looked even more confused . " What else would it have been ? Who hires a guy because he looks familiar ? Wait , why would I think you looked familiar ? Have we met before ? " " No. " Julian turned his head away , his face cold . " I knew it , " Olivá said . " I mean , my memory's not amazing , but you're way too good - looking . If we'd met , I definitely wouldn't have forgotten you . """ Julian let out a cold laugh . As they spoke , dozens of jeeps pulled up outside the police bureau . Among them were several armored vehicles , forming a tight perimeter around the building . A group of heavily armed men poured out of the vehicles , storming into the bureau with overwhelming force . At first , the officers at the police bureau thought it was a riot and prepared to call for backup to drive them away . But the moment they saw who was stepping out of those vehicles / their legs nearly gave out from under them , panic flashing in their eyes . They worked for the Astore Family . The Astornes were a powerful warlord clan with influence spread across all of East Nytherra . Their scale and manpower far surpassed even the Federal Military . In regions under their control , government offices still existed , but they all had to operate under the Astore Family's watchful eye . This particular police bureau had always been careful to stay out of their way . They had never had a run - in with the Astorne Family before , so no one could understand why the Astore family had suddenly shown up in full force to surround the bureau . Some of the newly hired officers were already so frightened their legs had gone weak and they couldn't move . y managed to stay somewhat composed and quickly ran inside to find their chief - Jenson Hart The senior officers were panicked too , but they When Jenson heard that the Astore Family had surrounded the bureau , he stumbled back in shock , almost falling . Then he immediately rushed outside . By the time he reached the entrance , someone was already approaching with a team in tow . Jenson instantly plastered on a smile and greeted them politely , " Sir , is there a reason you've brought so many people here ? If there's anything the Astorne Family needs , the Federal Police Bureau will spare no effort to cooperate " Chapter 9 He had barely finished speaking when the young officer leading the group kicked him hard and sent him flying Jenson didn't get angry at all . After getting up , he even smiled and praised , " Sir , you've got such strong legs . No wonder you made it into the Military The young officer shouted angrily . " Cut the flattery . How dare the Federal Police Bureau arrest someone from the Astorne Family ? Ar declare war on us ? " Jenson's legs gave out , and he collapsed to the ground in fear , scrambling to explain , " We didn't arrest anyone from the Astorne Family , Sir , you must be mistaken . " The young officer kicked him again . " Are you questioning the Astorne Family's intelligence network ? " Jenson felt utterly hopeless . Since they'd come to the bureau , there was no way they had the wrong place . The Actorne Family's intel never made mistakes . Jenson was furious . He thought , " Who the hell grabbed someone from the Astore Family ? Even arresting the president's son would've been better than this In the observation room , Julian heard the commotion outside and Instantly figured out what was going on . With a few swift movements of his hands , he unlocked the cuffs . Olivia looked at him in shock . Julian said , " I'm going to check it out . " When he reached the door , he turned back , leaned down beside her ear , and muttered softly , " My name is Julian Hudson . Don't forget it again . " Then he gently bit her earlobe before getting up and walking away Olivia gasped in pain , let out a soft cry , and glared at his back , both embarrassed and annoyed . She thought , ' There are cameras in here . He really has no shame . " Julian Hudson , " Olivia murmured his name under her breath . " Never heard of him . " She didn't think much of it and figured Julian must've mistaken her for someone else . Olivia's goal was to get pregnant as soon as possible . She didn't care about anything else . Julian stepped out of the observation room and immediately saw several Federal Police Bureau officers with swollen , bruised faces timidly leading the way , followed by a group of armed personnel wearing the Astore Family's signature gear . Walking in the middle was Julian's direct subordinate , Major General Noel Levitt . speak . When Noel saw Julian , his face lit up with joy , and he hurried forward , about to s But with just one look from Julian , Noel instantly turned meek , swallowing the words he was about to say . It wasn't until they reached the entrance of the police bureau that Julian finally came to a stop . When he saw the swarm of armed soldiers and armored vehicles outside , Julian's expression grew even gloomier Julian ordered , " Withdraw immediately . Go tell the chief that once I leave , he can release the person inside . And warn them - tonight's events are not to be leaked , including the name , appearance , of identity of the person who was captured with me . " if her identity gets out , I'll personally lead a team to level Dorgate to the ground . " Noel saluted . " Yes , my lord , " Chapter 9 Julian got Ind one of the vehicles . Given the situation , he had no choice but to leave . His whereabouts had been exposed , Someone had clearly leaked false information to mislead Noel , or else Hoal wouldn ' large force to raid the Federal Police Bureau . Julian needed to go back and get to the bottom of it Olivia thought the police in Darcoln were surprisingly considerate . Not long after Julian left , the police officers began bringing her all kinds of delicious lood . Her handcuffs were removed , and they even swapped her chair for a plusli sola . The officers even brought in a pianist so she could enjoy music while she ate . Even the chiel , Jenson , came to apologize . If Olivia hadn't caught him in time , he almost would've dropped to his knees asking for forgiveness . When Olivia asked why , he simply said it was for arresting the wrong person , Olivia was eating alone for a while when she suddenly heard footsteps coming in . She thought it was Julian coming back . While looking up , she asked , " Where did you go ? Come eat something with me . The food here's not bad . Wait , why is it you ? " The moment she looked up and saw who it was , Olivia's expression darkened , and her cheerful tone turned cold . Dylan looked even more upset than she did . He sneered , " Who else did you think it would be ? " Ө
