Refusing the Love of a Mafia Boss
31. Noah Lied

It was very annoying when he already knew about Ilina but he himself did not know anything about Noah.

Tired of thinking without a solution, Ilina got up from that bed. Just as he was about to get off, the door opened, and Noah walked in.

"Rest, Lia."

Lia? She called it 'Ilina' before Ilina fainted.

"They gave you medicine and your body hasn't perfectly neutralized it." Noah kneels. Raised her legs slowly to the bed and led Ilina back to lie down. "Sleep here. This is your room now."

What else is he trying to do?

"I know you're confused." Noah held his hand without permission. "Believe me, Lia. If it's time, I'll tell you everything you want to know about me. For now, lie down."

Ilina looked at him emotionlessly.

Deliberately did not make a sound until the man left and turned off the lights so that Ilina was more comfortable sleeping.

Either he's stupid, he pretends to be stupid, or he doesn't care if he's stupid.

Ilina was raised by Mahesa with strength, faith but also freedom in her soul.

The stung feeling that Ilina felt around Noah, was like a hint that Ilina should be careful because the man was trying to snatch hers.

Ilina sat back down. But he did it slowly and carefully.

Stared around to find something to watch, then when sure there was nothing, Ilina felt a crease under her knee.

There's something there. The adhesive is still perfect, not slanted or touched. Then Noah did not check every corner of Ilina's body.

Opened the adhesive slowly, opening the needle guard there.

This is not a poisonous needle. Just a regular needle.

Ilina stabbed him in the thigh with the object, deep enough before he covered the wound with a skin-colored plaster that had been used to cover the needle.

Next Ilina lay down. Decides to sleep even though his stomach is hungry, until he is awakened by Harja's voice.

There was a chip embedded within Ilina, and it reacted to the pain and injuries she suffered.

The sensor will be automatically sent in two directions, Mahesa Mahardika and Harja. They had a deal. If the wound that Ilina was experiencing was very small, then it meant a gesture in a precarious but secret situation.

If Ilina's wound is the size of an incision, then it means standby.

And if he was seriously injured, then the special people of Mahesa would instantly come breaking through the situation to save him.

That's why Ilina can't just get hurt.

"Miss."

Noah's bedroom door was closed, leaving Ilina and Harja.

The man who had taken care of her half of Ilina's life moved around checking the surroundings to really make sure there was nothing.

He found it under the bed.

"It's a vibrating sensor, miss. Need me to unplug it?"

"Leave it."

Quickly when Ilina was about to move on, she immediately appeared. That was all there was, so Harja stood waiting for instructions.

"The man knows my identity." Ilina silently clenched her hands. "I think he was suspicious from the beginning. I don't care how. Get something about him that's equivalent to the price of my identity."

"I think this information is interesting, Miss." Harja knelt down to lower than Ilina's position. "I can't confirm who the man is yet, but there is suspicious movement behind him. The nightclub that Miss came to yesterday suddenly exploded and was rumored to be due to an electrical accident."

Noah blew it? The one who hid from Palmer because he had no power?

"It's not just that. Her assistant and the man Miss killed, both are rumored to be missing. The police said there were no casualties in the blast, but I am pretty sure that the two were hidden fatalities."

Has the power to manipulate people's deaths. Andreas Noah lied about his incompetence.

"And I think, Miss, Young Master is involved in that."

"I know Senior did it." Everything about Ilina, known to Mahesa.

No. gabe.

Everything that Mahesa's people do, want what he helps, he takes care of let alone he grows, of course he knows.

It wasn't just Ilina who was taken care of by Mahesa. Andreas Noah did too.

"Good, Miss."

Ilina was silent for a moment. Suddenly he thought of something he had missed. "Harja, is there any information as to why Palmer went after Noah who was an illegitimate child?"

"For now not, Miss. But the person in charge of the search for information reported that Palmer's family was uneasy about the explosion at the nightclub. Though none of their families were involved, except Andreas Noah."

"They taught him not because Noah was a bastard."

It's strange why Palmer bothers to kill their illegitimate children in so many complicated ways that Noah is just an illegitimate child.

The head of the Palmer family never even reached out to Noah.

Noah has power. He hid. Sufficient strength made the Palmer family trepidation.

"Also, Miss."

"Hm?"

"The man seemed to be exchanging letters with someone through the airway manually. Did Miss never hear the sound of an eagle wandering around here?"

"I heard it a few times."

"It belongs to the man."

Hawks. Birds, to be more precise, are manual communication tools that are no longer used in the present day. Only one that Ilina knew was still using it.

Mahesa Mahardika's.

To avoid digital tracking, he made use of communication via birds that he trained himself.

Mahesa Mahardika has immense power and can shake this country, therefore she moves very carefully in various ways.

If Noah uses the same way, then ....

"Harja, leak my identity to Palmer."

"Miss."

"They're all dead. Whispering into the ears of the dead won't put my identity at risk."

Ilina looked coldly at her adjutant.

"Don't name her Ilina. Make another name and give the impression I was raised okeh Bumantara family for a long time. Let Benedict attack Bumantara."

"I'll do it."

"It is good that Bumantara is also destroyed. But if not I don't care. Do that until my whereabouts behind Noah are known."

"I'll have the troops keep an eye on Miss more intensely."

"What about Oto?"

"They do not know the name or details of the information Miss. But clearly they provide information that the son of Arman Bumantara is still alive."

"Senior must have known who was the leader of the organization. Find him and make them my subordinates."

"Good, Miss."

"Go away. The rest is my business."

"Good, Miss."

Ilina lay back, for now quite certain that her plan was still in control.

*

Noah commented on the smile as Ilina walked out of the room in the afternoon. The girl was seen sleeping for a long time, going into the bathroom to clean herself for quite a while before she came out wearing her shabby dress again.

Maybe he's comfortable with his looks.

Doesn't change the fact she's already very pretty, for Noah.

The glasses are reused. Ilina looked somewhat dizzy, remaining silent for a while before she approached the dining table.

"I've prepared the food."

Noah reached out to her. No longer feeling rejected even though Ilina's view had not changed. It's still as cold as yesterday.
