Falling In Love : I Love You, Today And Forever Chapter 524
Advertisement
Noah ran his eyes across the room, observing everyone's actions. He could more or less discern what was running in their minds. Everyone had their own fears, and the one common fear all of them in the room had was the fear of risking their lives when the man behind the crimes found out about them.
It was not a hidden fact that honest people were subjected to merciless torture from people who had power and money and were especially evil and selfish. Instances of some journalists losing their lives in their attempts to reveal the truth to the public had emerged quite a few times, and the one who was famous on the list was Oliver and his colleagues.
Oliver and his friends had been the first group to follow the case closely and reveal the truth behind the shady dealings and crimes in the hospitals. No sooner had they started with their work, they vanished from the surface of the earth without any news. Nobody knew what had happened. But everyone could guess what might have happened. Surely, the mastermind behind the crimes had been responsible for their disappearance.
Now that they were reopening the case again, how could they not fear for their lives? How could they sit still and wait for the man to come for them?
Noah had long guessed what was running their minds. He had read them clearly even before he had entered the room, for that was how any normal person would react in circumstances like these. Although the people before him were honest and sincere with their work, they were scared. They were worried for their lives. Not everyone was as daring as Oliver and Ivy to risk their lives to seek justice.
Noah understood their mindset and he accepted it too. They were right in their place to fear the man, for he was nothing less than a monster. So, he took it upon himself to protect the people who would be directly involved in the news related to Jared. At least, that way they would work well with nothing to stress about.

"What do you mean, Mr. Carter?" Kira was the first one to break the silence. Though she understood what Noah had meant, she was still in disbelief to think that the man was ready to ensure their safety when he was not even obligated to do so.
"I mean exactly what I am saying, Miss. I will ensure that nothing happens to any of you present here until the man we are dealing with is behind the bars." Noah's gaze did not waver, and everyone caught onto the sincerity and promise in his words. He was not lying and this touched all the people present in the room. They were pleasantly astonished to think that their Boss was willing to provide them security.
"You might be attacked any time, anywhere once we start airing the news. And I do not wish for that to happen. Although I cannot guarantee that I can stop him from attacking you, I can guarantee that none of you will die." Noah did not make baseless promises. He did not know when Jared would strike and what plans he would come up with. So, he did not make any such promises which he was sure he could not keep.
"What is Mr. Carter planning to do? How will you ensure our safety?" One of the men who Noah was meeting the first time spoke.
"Each of you will be given a watch which you must wear at all times. In case, someone were to attack you, just press on the button and it will alert my men. Also, you will be followed by two guards until we solve this mess. Does anybody have a problem?" Noah looked around, waiting for their responses while Ronnie passed on the watches to everyone in the room, including Ivy, though she did not need it.

Providing security was not a big deal for Noah, for that was what his men were trained for. And he took it upon himself to safeguard his employees as he knew what might happen once they broadcasted the news today. Jared was not the one to stay silent and given how he had been betrayed by Maggie once, he would never take the risk and allow people to take advantage of it.
Jared would definitely strike immediately after to stop invoking trouble upon himself. Noah had more or less studied how his mind worked, and he was sure that tonight would not be a peaceful night for many.
"I appreciate your efforts, Mr. Carter. But what will happen to our other colleagues? They too work in the same agency. Although they are dealing with this issue at the moment, they too might be subjected to danger." Another woman pointed out, and Noah shook his head at once.
"I disagree. The culprit behind this is a smart man. He will not attack the ones who are not involved in destroying him."
"How can you be so sure, Mr. Carter?" Cedric leaned forward on the table, and for the first time, he was not scared of Noah.
"I presume you remember the situation three years when Mr. Oliver West and his companions were dealing with the same case." Noah glanced at Ivy who stared back at him in confusion.
Everyone nodded at him, wondering where this was going.
"If you recall it, you might remember that only he and his colleagues suffered from the man. Nobody else in his agency faced any problems." Noah pointed out. He was sure that Jared would never attack the people not involved in this matter. It would only complicate the situation for him because they were not ordinary people he was dealing with. They were journalists and reporters, people who could influence the entire country with their words.
Though attacking the people here too would create troubles for him, he could at least save himself first and come up with a plan, later on, to stop people from finding out about him.
"Max, you will be the one subjected to the danger most."
"I understand, Mr. Carter. I will be careful." Max knew what he was talking about, and he had already braced himself for any situation. After Noah assured him and his colleagues, ensuring them of their safety, his courage soared high. He was now prepared to enter the bloody battle and reveal the truth to the public, the truth which he too did not know completely.
The video clips he had been provided with only pointed out a few powerful men who had joined hands to satisfy their selfish desires. None among them pointed to the main culprit. Though Max was curious to know who it was, he knew he would not get his answers soon, not today at least. Noah had discussed the plan already with him and he would only find out the complete truth the next day.
"Good." Noah nodded at him, appreciating his courage. Not everyone had the capacity to stay calm in such dreadful circumstances and Noah was impressed. "I think we all are ready to start our first broadcast and our first attack. Good luck everyone!"

I will not be eaten
Litchi is your ordinary Royal Road addict. She can’t resist the call of a new chapter even when she needs to work. Because of too many new responsibilities she promises one week without reading. Sadly, she cracks in three days, because of an Azarinth Healer notification. Taking out her phone she starts avidly reading. It’s just a small promise, she will try it another time. Nothing should happen. Say that to the goblin that tries to eat your face, Litchi! You should keep your promise! She was used to food jokes on her name but it seems that this time her destiny is to be eaten. ---- Hello future reader! I didn’t find a new good isekai so why not create my own? I am an RR addict and amateur writer (in French) and today I decided to publish a story. You will have my eternal gratitude for any advice or constructive comments on the story! One of my objectives is to have developed characters, duo or trio make a fantastic way to character growth. So, I will try to create a deep relationship between a few of them. The first few chapters have a lot of combat, but other characters will soon arrive. Those first few chapters are made to build tension and create Litchi's first motivations. This story has the plot written to the end and important characters already shaped. This story is short in comparison to the majority of RR fantasy stories. Update every two days until I have no more chapters in my pocket. Average chapter length: 2200 words Warning: The grammar can be bad, IMPORTANT CHARACTERS CAN (Will) DIE, contain philosophical conversation as the characters stumble upon morals dilemmas. I hope I will see you soon in the comments and thank you in advance for reading Litchi’s journey. Have a nice day! :)
