<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">The next day, Yvette, Jeremiali, and the others boarded their private jet and flew directly to Taos, Fhongsoly. As soon as they stepped out of the airport, their appearance immediately drew crowd, making them the absolute center of attention.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Not far from the airport, Eagle King was wearing blue slippers, shorts, and a green tank top. He had a cigarette in his mouth, but when he saw Yvettee out, his eyes lit up. He tossed the garette away and ran over. “Hey, Boss!”</font></font>Content is ? by N?velDrama.Org.
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Samantha watched as Eagle King sprinted over and took off his sunsses. ‘Yvette mentioned on the ne that a friend woulde to pick them up. It can’t be this rugged guy, right?‘ Samantha thought.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">When Eagle King reached them, he didn’t waste any time and gave Yvette a big hug. “Boss, you finally made it. I was about to start growing grass waiting for you,” he said with a broad grin.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Eagle King had arrived the day before. When Jeremiah saw Eagle King’s actions, his gaze deepened, and a sharp glint appeared in his eyes.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Eagle King suddenly felt a faint aura of killing intent and turned his head to nce at Jeremiah, sizing him up. Then he turned back to Yvette and said, “Boss, is this your man? He’s pretty handsome.”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Hearing this, the cold aura around Jeremiah dissipated. Yvette raised an eyebrow, her eyes still retaining her usual dangerous edge, but her expression remained indifferent. Her voice was cool and clear. “This is Jeremiah, my man. Over there are Emmett, Charles, and Samantha.”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Jeremiah spoke in a deep voice, “Hello, I’m Jeremiah.”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">As a killer, Eagle King was most sensitive to the perception of killing intent. He knew that Yvette wouldn’t choose someone who waspletely useless. If he hadn’t ttered her just now, he might have gotten a beating. It was too close.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">‘But a real man knows when to bend and when to stand firm,’ Eagle King thought. He smiled and said to Jeremiah, “Jeremiah, nice to meet you.” Then he turned to greet Emmett and the others,</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“Hey there, I’m Eagle King. I’ve been with the boss for many years. The boss’s friends are my friends.”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Emmett looked at Eagle King and felt a sense of familiarity as if he had seen him somewhere before. Charles’s face froze when he heard Eagle King’s name. He thought, ‘Eagle King? The second–ranked killer on ck Gold. Is it just a coincidence?</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">‘But what about Flying Fish? Could it really be a coincidence that both names match those of the second and third–ranked killers?‘ Charles fell silent.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Samantha, however, was quite enthusiastic. “Eagle King, your tattoos are really cool.”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Eagle Kingughed heartily. “Samantha, you sure have an eye for detail.”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Samantha’s lips twitched. She thought, ‘Why call my name? Can’t he just call me a beautifuldy? What kind of era is he living in?’</font></font>
Yvette nced at the chatty Eagle King and said coolly, “To the hotel.” She knew if she didn’t stop him, this talkative guy could chat all night.
Eagle King quickly took the ck backpack from Yvette and said cheerfully, “Let’s go, Boss. The hotel is already booked, and I guarantee you be satisfied.”
Jeremiah noticed Eagle King taking the ck backpack from Yvette, and Yvette handed it over naturally. This confirmed that the two had a very close rtionship.
If they hadn’t gone through life and death together, Yvette, with her temperament, would never have given up her bag so easily. Emmett, Charles, and Samantha also noticed this and exchanged a knowing nce
Eagle King was more than just a friend to Yvette; he could be tred. In the car, Eagle King drove, Emmett sat in the passenger seat, and Yvette and Jeremiah were in the back, along with Samantha and Charles.
Fhongsoly wasn’t a bustling city; most of the roads were still dirt and uneven. The bumpy ride made Samantha feel almost nauseous. On both sides of the road, various vendors set up their stalls. Due to the climate, most people here had darker skin.
While driving, Eagle King grumbled, “Voraxia hasn’t been peacefultely. There are riots every few days. Yesterday, there was a gunfight on this road, and many people died. The government spent the whole night collecting bodies.
Samantha, trying to suppress her nausea, asked curiously, “Eagle King, are they fighting over territory?”
Eagle King shook his head. “That’s one reason, but it’s also about the shares of drugs and weapons. Every drug lord in this area wants a bigger piece of the pic. How do they divide it?
“People here don’t negotiate civilly; they settle things with their fists. The one with the stronger fist gets more say and arger share.”
Thew of the jungle was vividly demonstrated in Voraxia. Emmett turned his head and said in a deep voice, “What’s behind the recent unrest? From what I know, this isn’t the time when the drug lords usually fight over territory.
Eagle King’s hand paused on the steering wheel as he nced at Samantha. “Emmett, you did your homework. You’re right; this isn’t the time when the drug lords usually fight over territory in Voraxia.
“Howeyer, a major drug lord has emerged in the past two years. Her people arepletely loyal to her, so her territory has expanded rapidly. Recently, she’s been the one stirring up trouble, disrupting life here.”
Samantha listened with wide eyes. Yvette watched the passersby on the road, propping her chin up with her hand. Her fair face showed no emotion as she raised her eyes and said casually, “Does this person go by thest name Miller?”
Eagle King nodded; his face full of surprise. “Boss, you’re a genius! How did you know she goes by Miller? The locals call her Ms. Miller. She’s a female drug lord.
“Honestly, for a woman to establish herself and gain such power in Voraxia, regardless of her methods, she’s quite impressive.”
Jeremiah’s eyes flickered. He thought, ‘It seems the Mr. Miller we’re looking for is likely this Ms. Miller.‘
Charles added, “We came here specifically for Ms. Miller. She might be the person we’re looking for.”
Eagle King’s interest was piqued. He knew they weren’t here for a vacation in this godforsaken ce. They were after Ms. Miller. But it seemed they already had some information.
In Voraxia, if Yvette said a word, even ghosts would kneel to listen. Eagle King stole a nce at Yvette, who had her eyes lowered, and his thoughts raced. Even now, the boss was keeping her cards close to her chest.
‘If we went straight to that man, wouldn’t Ms. Miller or anyone else have toe forward obediently?‘ Eagle King thought. He didn’t dare speak up. If the boss wanted to y it her way, he didn’t want to ruin her fun.
Eagle King nodded. “I have some information on Ms. Miller. Once we get to the hotel, you can take a look and see if she’s the person you’re looking for.”
They arrived at thergest hotel in Fhongsoly. Although it was called thergest, it was far from being a true five–star hotel.
Eagle King said, “The rooms are all booked. Five presidential suites. Conditions here are a bit tough, but this is the best we have.”
Samantha looked at the hotel’s sign and thought, ‘Well, it certainly has its own ethnic charm, but it’s pretty run–down. It’s hard to imagine what the worst hotels here must be like.‘
Fortunately, once they entered their rooms, they found the interiors much better. All the necessary facilities were there, and the space was decent. After unpacking their luggage, they gathered in Yvette’s room.
Emmett, Charles, and Samantha saw the various Clusian snacks on the table and knew exactly who they were for. Eagle King picked up a freshly washed apple and took a bite. Samantha said “Eagle King, you’re quite thoughtful. These Clusian snacks are all Yvette’s favorites.”
