<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Jeremiah tilted his head, ncing at Yvette, whose expression was indifferent. A cold smile shed in his dark eyes. “When are you going to the military? Help me train some new recruits!</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Yvette slightly lifted her eyes, her gaze carrying a hint of defiance and mischief. She casually replied, “It will cost you a lot.”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Yvette wasn’t bragging. When Damian had asked her to train the Seventy–Two Chambers for the Goodman family, the gold bars he gave her could fill an entire room, but she had turned him down.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">In the end, Damian had no choice but to offer her a life debt in exchange, and that was when Yvette agreed.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Jeremiah gently squeezed her hand, his long fingers tapping on her palm, his breath warm and tingling against her skin. “You just said I’m priceless, so I’ll give myself to you to pay for it</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Yvette was already ustomed to Jeremiah’s jokes. Her gaze deepened, her voice cool andmanding. “You belong to me in the first ce.”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Samantha, who was the only one here unfamiliar with the Goodman family and the Seventy–Two Chambers, could tell from their expressions that it must be some formidable force. From Joe’s words, it seemed that the Seventy–Two Chambers was personally trained by Yvette.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Samantha hesitantly asked, “Can I ask what exactly the Seventy–Two Chambers is?”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Emmett secretly nced at Yvette who was sitting on the couch and cleared his throat softly.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">He said, “The Goodman family is the leader of the underworld gangs in Mysonna, the undisputed king, and the Seventy- Two Chambers is the ultimate trump card that solidified the Goodman family’s dominance in the underworld.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“The Seventy–Two Chambers has about a hundred members, all feared across Mysonna. And their instructor…” Emmett paused for a moment, then continued, “The instructor of the Seventy–Two Chambers is Yvette, known in the underworld as ‘Deadlock.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“It’s said that anyone trained by her will reach the peak of physical ability. Of course, not many survive her training–only about one in a thousand. This is why the Seventy–Two Chambers can sweep through the underworld gang of Mysonna.”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">No matter how much Emmett tried to hide his shock, his slightly trembling voice betrayed his inner turmoil. He thought, ‘If, as Joe said, the Seventy–Two Chambers is under Yvette’smand, it means that she can take them away.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">‘With the Seventy–Two Chambers under Yvette’s control and her own strength, it would only be a matter of time before she could dominate the underworld of Mysonna.‘ Emmett became excited, surprised by Yvette’s real strength.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">The Seventy–Two Chambers had appeared seven years ago when Yvette was just a teenager. The most frightening part was that this young girl, in her teens, had been capable of training such a fearsome force.</font></font>
Besides, it wasn’t impossible for Yvette, who had already created the Seventy–Two Chambers seven years ago, to train an even stronger team now.
Eagle King nced at Charles and suddenly asked, “You are the General Master of the Seventy–Two Chambers as well as the most outstanding subordinate of the Goodman family leader Braydon, right?”
Based on what Joe had said earlier, Yvette’s identity, and the rumors from the underworld in Mysonna, Charles’s role was now clear to everyone.
Charles’s expression darkened as he met Eagle King’s knowing gaze. He hadn’t expected him to be the first to guess who he was.
Charles nodded and said, “Yeah, it’s me.”
Emmett turned his lead in shock and looked at Charles. He thought, ‘Damn, I never knew Charles had such a background.
“The General Master of the Seventy–Two Chambers is seen as the king of the underworld in Mysonna–he has been following the Goodman family for years, and his reputation is well–known.’
All this time, Charles had been quietly by everyone’s side, and no one had ever suspected his true identity.
Samantha swallowed hard, surprised that Yvette was the underworld instructor known as Deadlock and that Charles was the General Master of the underworld gangs.
Joe realized he had misspoken. After staying silent for a while, however, he saw everyone discussing it, so he perked up again. “I told you we’re all on the same side, so there’s no need to be so surprised. Whatever Yve does is normal, right?”
Jeremiah nced at Joe with a stern look and said in a low voice “Yve?”
Joe immediately mimed zipping his lips, looking utterly pitiful as he muttered, “I’ve been calling her that for seven years.”
Yvette stood up, narrowing her eyes slightly as she calmly addressed Joe, “Go call your grandfather and have him take you home.”
Joe nodded eagerly, his face filled with an ingratiating smile. “Can you help me? Can you just make a call to Grandpa for me? If he finds out I’ve been targeted by the Storm Wind, he’ll probably beat me.”
Yvette lowered her gaze, showing no reaction to Joe’s pleading. “Do it yourself.”
Reluctantly, Joe picked up the phone on the table, his head hanging in defeat. He knew he was in for a scolding.
Samantha and Emmett exchanged nces, both with mixed feelings as they looked at Yvette. Learning that Yvette was also Deadlock was just too overwhelming.
Eagle King looked at the two of them with a knowing expression, thinking, ‘If they only knew that Yvette was also the number one killer on the ck Gold Rankings, they’d probably be even more shocked!
Eagle King said, “I truly respect you, boss. Seriously, are you even human?”
Yvette turned her head to look at Eagle King, raising an eyebrow A faint, teasing smile curled at the corner of her lips as she slowly responded, “What do you mean by that?”
Eagle King froze and quickly took two steps back. “Oh, sorry. I got too carried away and didn’t mean to say that. I mean…”
Samantha smiled slyly. “Eagle King meant to say that you’re not human, Yvette.”
Emmett, keeping his calm, added, “We did hear Eagle King say that you’re not human, Yvette.”
Eagle King trembled and pointed at Samantha and Emmett. “What the hell? You two are kicking me while I’m down, huh? You guys really have no shame.”
Laughter filled the room. Outside, Joe was listening to his grandpa’s furious shouting on the phone. “How could you be so careless, letting the Storm Wind scheme against you?
“Where are you now? What have they done to you? Are you safe? How did I end up with such a stupid grandson after all my years of wisdom?”
Joe scratched his ear. “Please stop shouting, Grandpa. I know I messed up. You have no idea what kind of life I’ve been livingtely. The Storm Wind sold me to Voraxia.”
Carl sounded surprised. “What? Voraxia?”
Joe worried that Carl might get too worked up and suffer a heart attack, so he quickly added, “Don’t worry. The Storm Wind never imagined this, but I actually turned my misfortune into a blessing.All rights ? N?velDrama.Org.
“They wouldn’t believe who I ran into in Voraxia. I met Yve! She saved me, and now I’m with her. You can rest easy now.”
Carl, Joe’s grandfather, grew visibly more anxious at the mention of Yvette’s name. After a long pause, he finally spoke, his voice heavy with disbelief. “You’re telling me you ran into Yve, right? You are a lucky one. Alright, tell me exactly what happened.”
Joe then quickly recounted everything that had happened over the past few days, including what had just urred, to Carl.
Finally, Carl responded, his tone resolute, “Give me the address. Voraxia is no safe ce, but as long as you’re with Yvette, you should be fine.
“I’ll send someone to pick you up tomorrow. Before my people get there, stay close to Yvette and don’t leave her side, understand?”
