Meanwhile, Savannah’s team had located the hypnotist. He resisted, using all his strength to hypnotize a few of them, but was ultimately captured.
“Why do you want to kill me?” the hypnotist asked, bewildered. He’d been nothing but dedicated to Savannah’s cause.
“You claimed the memory replacement was irreversible, yet that man has regained his memories. Do you realize how humiliated this has made our princess?” a man in black replied in a chilling tone.
The hypnotist’s face darkened. “That’s impossible! Unless… someone with powers like mine restored his memory! You must have overlooked something!”
“Hmph! Possible or not, you’re the reason the princess’s plan failed,” the man in black said, striking swiftly.
The hypnotist quickly fell to the ground, and the men in black vanished into the shadows.
They returned to their organization, where a woman approached them.
“Miss Duncan,” they greeted her with respect.
Milly gave a slight nod before moving on.
The men exchanged whispers. “How long has it been since Milly took on a mission? She used to only accept tasks to eliminate those deemed ‘bad.’ I wonder why the organization lets her have so much leeway.”
“If you were as successful as she is, the organization would indulge you too. Remember that infamous businessman hunted by international police? They even authorized anyone who crossed his path to kill him. A year went by, and he remained untouchable. Yet, the day after Milly took the mission, he was dead!”
“What a she-devil!”
The men in black proceeded to update Peyton on the mission status.
With a simple wave, Peyton dismissed them.
As they departed, Corbett entered.
“What’s up?” Peyton barely glanced his way, his disinterest obvious—a clear display of contempt.
Corbett’s expression faltered for a moment. Once, people had eagerly sought his favor, but now he found himself in this lowly position. Yet, he quickly masked his frustration, fully aware of where he stood.
This was the Serpentine Palers—a place where taking a life was as routine as breathing.
Corbett replaced his discontent with a sycophantic smile, a glint of malice flickering in his eyes. “Peyton, here’s the thing. I’ve noticed Mr. Patton has been acting a bit unusually lately, so I’ve been observing him closely. I discovered he might not be producing exactly what you’re asking for.”
Peyton’s face grew serious in an instant. “What do you mean?”
“Well, for example, the high-tech watch you asked him to create, the one that can fire three poison needles capable of incapacitating someone instantly. He made them, but while others wear the watches, the master control is still in his hands. He can activate them anytime he wants.”
These watches were meant for Savannah’s father’s supporters to wear during the election. Savannah’s father was a man who trusted no one and took no chances. They had been preparing for the leadership change for years; success was the only option. If they failed, they’d attack everyone there without hesitation.
Corbett continued, “And I found out he’s rigged the entire base with explosives. He can level the place whenever he feels like it!”
Peyton was stunned, anger and humiliation boiling inside him. How could Howard pull something like this right under his nose? He shot up from his seat. “Take me there now!”
Of course, Peyton wasn’t about to just take Corbett’s word for it, so they made their way to the lab.
Along the way, Peyton ordered his men to be on standby. If Corbett was telling the truth, Howard would die on the spot. But if Corbett was lying, then it would be his turn to meet a swift end. As they neared the lab doors, Corbett felt his nerves dance between anxiety and excitement. Soon, Howard would die before him!
The man who’d rivaled him for years would finally be gone.
Corbett almost wanted to laugh.
But just as they stepped through the door, Peyton suddenly collapsed. Corbett frowned, only to feel a sharp blow to the back of his head before everything went black.
Milly glanced at the two men lying on the floor and dragged them into a nearby room.
Corbett really was a lost cause.
Her eyes narrowed with a deep, contemplative look.
As for Peyton, he had killed countless people. So, Milly had no hesitation, dragging them both to a nearby forest. This wasn’t just any forest—it was a place of danger, teeming with wild predators, a death trap where few who entered ever came out. The organization often used this place for those who disobeyed. Hardly one in ten ever survived.
As Milly turned back, she noticed a figure standing by a tree in the distance.
She said nothing and continued walking, but in an instant, the person was beside her.
“Peyton is the third-in-command of our organization; you shouldn’t have done that to him!” The man’s voice was low, tinged with frustration.
Milly’s expression remained cold. “If I hadn’t done that, they would have killed Howard.”
The man fell silent.
Milly indeed had no other options.
As they walked, Milly suddenly whispered, “Don’t come back with me.”
Before the man could even ask why, Milly had already vanished into the shadows.
When she returned to the base, she spotted a man at the entrance, his face covered in heavy makeup.
It was the second-in-command, ranked among the top three assassins—known as Magician.
His face was never the same twice, but Milly recognized him instantly. She knew him all too well. “Come with me,” Magician commanded.
Milly followed him into a cell.
Magician was clearly pleased with her compliance. “I like obedient people. Those who can’t face the consequences always end up draining my energy.”
Milly lowered her lashes, her face unreadable.
“Tell me, why did you do it?” Magician asked, pulling out a chair and sitting down, his gaze locked on Milly.
She remained still, showing no intention of escaping. She knew getting those two out of the organization would undoubtedly draw much attention.
“Because they did something offensive to me,” Milly said flatly.
Magician raised an eyebrow, intrigued. “Oh? And what exactly did they do?”
“They made unwanted advances,” Milly replied.
Magician was taken aback.
He knew Milly’s beauty was striking—he had to admit that if she ever chose to weaponize her looks, completing jobs would be a breeze.
But Milly never relied on that; she always chose her skill over her appearance.
Her reputation in the organization was well-established, yet those two had still dared to cross the line with her? Magician’s eyes narrowed in doubt. “You should have come up with a better excuse. Peyton would have to be out of his mind to do something like that with you.”
Milly responded coolly, “You’re right. He really did lose his mind.”
Magician stared at her, taken aback. “Are you playing dumb? I’m saying your story doesn’t make any sense!”
Milly stayed quiet, unfazed.
Magician got up, pacing the room in frustration. “Peyton’s in charge of the lab where Howard’s developing new weapons. You got rid of Peyton for Howard’s sake, am I right? Corbett was captured by you along with Peyton, which means he must’ve done something. Corbett’s a tech genius, the only one who could’ve noticed if Howard was up to something. He probably spotted Howard’s tricks and reported them to Peyton. That’s why you took them out.”
Indeed, in this organization, no one was a fool.
But Milly remained silent, giving nothing away.
Magician’s expression softened. He looked at her with something almost like pity. “Milly, you’re the only one I admire in this place. You know what happens to traitors. Is it really worth it—for a man?”
Still, Milly said nothing.
Magician let out a soft sigh and turned to leave.
