Seeing Oneida re-enter the room, Jackson gestured for her to come closer, a gentle expression in his eyes. "Come here."

Oneida didn't look happy, seemingly sulking over Jackson's reluctance to give her a clear answer.

But seeing Jackson beckon to her, she couldn't help but walk over, asking indifferently, "What is it?"

Jackson suddenly reached out and pulled Oneida closer.

Taken by surprise, she ended up leaning against the bed, with Jackson's strikingly handsome face right in front of her.

"You-" Oneida's eyes widened slightly, momentarily at a loss for words.

"Ida, my wound hasn't healed yet, so I'll need to trouble you in the days ahead," Jackson said with a subtle, meaningful smile. Oneida was momentarily stunned.

Seeing his smile, her heart seemed to soften instantly.

"You, don't move-" She instructed, glancing at Jackson. "Or it won't help your recovery."

Jackson obediently released her arm and lay still, his deep eyes fixed on her. "Alright, I'll listen to you."

His low, cool voice, like the sound of a cello, was exceptionally pleasant to the ear.

Unknowingly, Oneida's cheeks flushed slightly.

"This guy is really unpredictable,' she thought to herself.

Victor, observing the scene, felt a touch of embarrassment.

He felt like a giant third wheel and, with a moment's hesitation, quietly slipped out of sight.

Soon, Oneida and Jackson left the Bane manor and returned to Garrison Mansion. Upon their return, Jackson was immediately taken to his bedroom to rest.

Meanwhile, Oneida returned to her own room as she received a call from Simon.

"Boss, something's gone wrong with Paragon Group. Their internal system is wide open with no protection, so our people took advantage and harvested quite a bit," Simon reported over the phone. Hearing this, Oneida narrowed her eyes.

Though the Aphotic Group and Paragon Group never got along there had never been a large-scale conflict.

Now, Aphotic Group had taken advantage of Paragon Group's vulnerability to raid their system, which was tantamount to declaring war.

"Why didn't you stop them?" Oneida frowned, her tone displeased.

"I was against it, but they acted on their own." Simon sensed her displeasure and spoke cautiously.

"Idiots!" Oneida's eyes narrowed, her voice cold. "If you're going to do something bad, don't do it so openly under Aphotic Group's name! Now we've completely antagonized Paragon Group!" Oneida's face darkened, her expression cold.

She had no desire for a deep-seated conflict with Paragon Group as their power was formidable.

And their leader, Evan, was someone she was particularly wary

Now, because of this incident, the Aphotic Group had essentially declared war on the Paragon Group,

What the future held was unknown.

Oneida gripped her phone tightly, falling silent.

She wasn't afraid, though.

While the Paragon Group was strong, so was the Aphotic Group

If Paragon Group sought revenge, she had ways to handle it.

At this point, they could only prepare for whatever came their way. CICT
