<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Eagle King stepped out of the elevator, surveying the stunned crowd. He blew on the barrel of his gun and struck a pose that looked cool, but to Samantha, it seemed ridiculous.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“What’s wrong? No one’s pping? Come on, give a round of apuse for handsome me.” Eagle King called out to the people on the first floor.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">After a long pause, no one moved. Even the remaining thirty or so members of the Crimson des stood frozen in ce,</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">With Charlie and Bob dead, they were at a loss for what to do. The atmosphere was awkward, and no one dared to make a sound. Eagle King thought for a moment and turned to Samantha. “Hey, Samantha, am I not handsome?”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">At that moment, Eagle King was more concerned about theck of apuse. Samantha beamed a big, genuine smile and replied, “Eagle King, you’re the most handsome in the universe.”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Emmett and Charles had just finished dealing with the situation upstairs and arrived on the first floor. They took in the scene and then looked up at Yvette and Jeremiah, realizing that Yvette and Jeremiah had already taken action.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Their arrival shattered the silence on the first floor. On the second floor, Yvette watched Eagle King and Samantha, along with Emmett and Charles, clowning around below. Leaning against the railing, she casually said, “Just kill them all, and leave only one alive.”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Upon hearing this, Eagle King immediately dropped his yful demeanor. Armed with dual guns, he fired multiple rounds at the Crimson des members. Without Charlie, they were nothing but a scattered mess.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Emmett and Charles quickly joined the fray, turning the gunfight into a one–sided ughter. Even Samantha took down two members of the Crimson des.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">In less than ten minutes, only one of the Crimson des members remained, kneeling on the ground. Emmett aimed his gun at the man’s head, waiting for Yvette to give the order.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Samantha looked up, her gaze meeting Yvette’s cold, expressionless face as she stood on the upper floor with her hands in her pockets. Yvette’s eyes were as icy and piercing as a winter night, distant and aloof like the faint starlight of an autumn evening.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Samantha knew this was the real Yvette. In her world, killing was just another day at the office.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">The hostages on the first floor had thought they were doomed, but to their surprise, they were saved.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“Thank you, Miss! You saved us!” one of them eximed.</font></font>N?velDrama.Org owns all ? content.
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“Miss, you’re our savior. Without you, we’d be dead for sure,” another added.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“Thank you!”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“Thank you, Miss!”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">The room buzzed with gratitude in variousnguages–Uprian, Frixyia, Dermonian, Thairian, and even a bit of Saracian- making it a cacophony of voices that could give anyone a headache.</font></font>
Yvette frowned her bright eyes calm and unperturbed as she looked at the diverse crowd. “Disperse,” she said calmly. Even those who didn’t understand Clusian could guess her meaning from her expression.
Five minutester, the hotel lobby was empty except for Yvette’s group and the kneeling man from the Crimson des. Jeremiah tilted his head, his narrow eyes sharp and cold. “Do you want to wipe them all out?” he asked.
Yvette’s deep blue eyes flickered, her delicate brows slightly raised. “Yes.”
In the next second, Yvette and Jeremiah leaped down from the over seven–foot–high floor,nding steadily. The Crimson des‘ man, who had been sneaking nces, was terrified.
Emmett spoke up, “Yvette, Jeremiah, what should we do with this guy? Do you have other ns?”
‘Yvette must have a special n. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have left a Crimson des member alive,‘ Emmett thought.
Yvette walked up to the kneeling man, hands still in her pockets, her toe tapping the ground nonchntly. “Where’s the Crimson des‘ headquarters? Is your boss there?”
The man fiercely shook his head, gritting his teeth, refusing to speak. Yvette tilted her head and nced at Eagle King. In an instant, Eagle King stepped up to the man, producing a dagger from somewhere.
He plunged it into the man’s thigh without hesitation. The yful demeanor he had just moments ago was gone, reced by a cold; merciless killer. The Crimson des man screamed in agony, clutching his leg as he howled in pain.
“Answer my boss’s question,” Eagle King said, his voice hard. “Answer, and you live. Refuse, and I’ll carve you up piece by piece.”
Samantha’s lips twitched She thought, ‘Eagle King is ruthless truly, one cannot judge a book by its cover. Emmett and Charles remained unmoved.
The dagger in Eagle King’s hand glinted menacingly, breaking the man’s resolve in an instant. “I… it’s just three streets away, vi number 667. Mr. Granger is there,” the man stammered.
Eagle King sheathed his dagger, smiled satisfactorily at the man, and patted his shoulder as if they were old friends. “If you’d said so earlier, we wouldn’t have had to go through all this.”
He walked over to Yvette and immediately switched his expression. “Boss, shall we
go now?”
Among the group, Eagle King was the second to guess Yvette’s intentions. Yvette had a habit–whenever on a mission and encountering gangs like the Crimson des whomitted heinous crimes, she would always take the opportunity to rid such evils, never leaving a trace.
Emmett and Charles also caught on, understanding Yvette’s n. If they didn’t eliminate the root cause today after killing so many Crimson des members, the gang wouldn’t let them off easily. It was better to strike first and destroy the Crimson des.
Samantha tentatively asked, “Yvette, you want to take the Crimson des down?”
‘This day is really testing my nerves, but it is indeed thrilling,‘ Samantha thought.
Yvette lifted her gaze, giving a brief, indifferent look at the others. Her voice was cool and detached. “Let’s take while we’re at it.”
Jeremiah gazed lovingly at Yvette. “Yes, that’s a good idea. We should take care of it while we’re at it.”
care of it
Thus, the group decided unanimously to head straight to the Crimson des’s headquarters and deal with them.
That night passed, and it was destined to be a night of terror in Ehongsoly. Early in the morning, all the major drug lords and various factions in Voraxia received a shocking piece of news.
The Crimson des’s Charlie was killed in a hotel, along with all his men.
The Crimson des’s leader Norbert and their headquarters were wiped out by mysterious assants. The leader was shot dead, not even having time to dress, and none of the over three Hundred people at the headquarters survived.
The police in Thongsoly police station mobilized in full force, causing panic throughout the city. The power dynamics in Voraxia had stabilized.
The Crimson des had been tyrannizing this area for years, bing a significant local power. It was unimaginable that they could be wiped out overnight, with no survivors.
To aplish such a major feat silently spoke volumes about how terrifying the perpetrator must be. Local powers had all sent people to investigate the matter.
In Voraxia, the police station was just a figurehead. They merely collected the bodies of the Crimson des as per routine and then left it alone. In this ce, human life is the cheapestmodity, and the police never invite trouble upon themselves.
At the hotel, the manager, Quinn Reese, stood outside Yvette’s room, two people pushing a breakfast cart behind him. The cart wasden with a variety of local specialties and Clusian snacks, clearly prepared with care.
Quinn stood there, hesitantly raising his hand to knock, only to drop it again, repeating this action several times.
