“Yes, that’s right! I once met Miss Black at one of their events, and she personally introduced the products to me. She was so charming that I couldn’t resist buying them all.”
“Really? Wow! You’re so lucky! Do you still have those products? I want to try them too. Can you sell some to me?”
The crowd began talking about the Black Group.
Netizens’ opinions shifted dramatically. They flooded Twitter with comments praising the Black Group. Indeed, it was much better than the Hunt Group.
“It is undeniable that Miss Black has sharp business acumen,” Isabella commented, shaking her head.
“Well, reaching such a position is no easy feat. But in my eyes, you’re still the smartest,” Andrew said in a soft and soothing voice, staring at Isabella tenderly.
Isabella’s face flushed slightly. She rolled her eyes at him and said, “You’re biased.”
Andrew shook his head. “No, I’m not. You are really amazing.”
After saying this, he glanced at his phone. His brows furrowed at once. When Isabella saw this, she immediately sensed something was wrong. She couldn’t help but ask, “What’s wrong?”
“Milly seems to be in trouble,” Andrew replied earnestly. His face darkened. “An undercover from the Serpentine Palers told me that Milly hasn’t attended meetings for days, which is very unlike her. She’s never been absent before. Also, Corbett and Peyton, who is in charge of the lab, have disappeared. Putting these two things together, I suspect Milly might have killed Peyton and Corbett, and the organization found out.”
Isabella suddenly felt anxious. “Is she still alive?”
She didn’t know how Howard would react if something happened to Milly.
“For now, it’s still unclear. But their organization’s punishments are extremely harsh. I fear something might have already happened to Milly,” Andrew said with a frown, looking at Isabella.
Isabella suddenly lost her appetite. She put down her spoon and fork and said, “I need to go there.”
“I’ll go with you,” Andrew offered.
Outside, the sky was dark and heavy. The moon didn’t shine, and even the stars were hidden behind thick clouds, making the entire sky look gloomy.
It was as if a torrential downpour could start at any moment.
The Serpentine Palers’ prison was pitch-black.
Milly was inside, submerged in water for three days and nights.
Fortunately, the water hadn’t filled the entire cell.
She could still keep her head above the water. However, her body trembled uncontrollably.
Her cold and beautiful face had turned deathly pale, and her lips were colorless.
Suddenly, she heard voices outside the door.
“What is going on? After all this time, why is Milly not dead yet?” A man’s voice, cold and harsh, echoed.
“How do I know? Maybe there’s a problem with the mechanism,” replied Magician nonchalantly.
“You set it wrong. What is wrong with you? It’s such a simple task. How could you mess it up?” the man said sternly after checking the settings.
“I’m not like you, who kills people here every day. How do I know how to set it up?” Magician replied coldly.
The man didn’t argue with Magician. Instead, he went to the mechanism and adjusted the water level to its maximum.
Milly’s eyes darted around the dark room as the water slowly crept higher. Her breaths became shallow, and she gasped against the rising water, now brushing her chin. A look of pain crossed her face.
But she had already expected this day, though it had come a little later than she thought.
Milly felt no regret.
When she became an assassin, she only sought revenge and survival. Once her revenge was complete, she had no other goals.
She never thought of searching for Howard. She hadn’t expected fate to make them meet again.
Milly slowly reached into her clothes under the water.
From her chest, she took out a banknote, which had become extremely soft and was on the verge of disintegration after being submerged in the water for an extended period.
Milly stared at it, the corners of her lips curling into a faint smile. Her life had been bleak, but fortunately, God had been on her side. She was grateful to have been given a glimmer of hope. Even if she couldn’t pull through this time, she would be satisfied as long as Howard survived.
Milly’s smile broadened. She put the banknote back in her chest and spread her arms, prepared to embrace death.
“You must be out of your mind!” A man’s furious roar suddenly came from the door. “Mano, do you have a death wish?” The water in the room suddenly receded. Milly immediately opened her eyes when she heard Mano’s name. Mano had actually come!
“After everything she’s done for the organization, you’re really going to kill her over a misunderstanding? How can you be so heartless?” Mano Brown shouted, his voice trembling with rage.
The man stared at Mano, his gaze icy. “This isn’t your business. It’s the organization’s decision. Unless you want to die with her?”
Mano’s eyes reddened with fury. “Even if it costs me my life, I won’t stand by and let you hurt her!”
In a flash, a dagger gleamed in Mano’s hand, and without another word, they clashed in a vicious fight.
Magician, watching from the side, shook his head with a sigh before disappearing without a trace.
Mano was one of the most skilled assassins in the organization, while the man he faced was more of a bureaucrat, not known for his strength. It wasn’t long before the man started losing ground. But with a wave of his hand, a flood of black-clad men stormed into the room.
Outnumbered, Mano was quickly overwhelmed and subdued.
The man wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his expression darkening as he turned and slowly opened the stone door.
The heavy stone door groaned as it slowly swung open, revealing a nearly drained chamber.
Lying unconscious on the damp floor was Milly.
Mano’s eyes filled with grief the moment he saw her. “Milly!”
The man sauntered toward her, pulling out a gun and taking aim. “She could’ve had a slow death, but you’ve forced my hand. This organization’s gotten sloppy, letting anyone meddle in my affairs.”
A sinister grin spread across his face as he began to squeeze the trigger.
Just then, Mano, driven by pure desperation, somehow broke free from the men restraining him and lunged forward. The man, startled, couldn’t stop the gun from firing in time.
“Ugh!”
Mano’s body jolted as the bullet struck him, and he collapsed onto Milly. A tear slid down his cheek as he looked at her pale, beautiful face. Blood trickled from the corner of his mouth, and slowly, his eyes fluttered shut.
The man, momentarily taken aback, knelt down to check for any signs of life.
Finding none, he sighed, a blend of mockery and disappointment in his tone. “What a waste.”
Reloading the gun with deliberate slowness, he raised it toward Milly once more, but the men in black at the door began to fall, one by one.
The man’s eyes sharpened as a poison needle whizzed toward him from the doorway. He dodged it swiftly, raising his gun and firing a round toward the entrance.
“Who’s there?” he barked.
A silver figure stepped into view, and when he recognized Howard in a lab coat, the man’s shock was evident. “Mr. Patton? You too? Playing the heroic savior for Milly, huh? I didn’t realize she had so many admirers.”
Howard, who had been growing uneasy after days of not seeing Milly, had finally tracked her down—only to find her imprisoned. His gaze darkened upon seeing her unconscious on the floor, and the air around him seemed to grow icy and foreboding.
“Relax, Mr. Patton. You’re the organization’s tech genius. It would be such a waste to kill you over something trivial.” The man raised his hands in a gesture of mock surrender. “You like Milly, don’t you? How about this: I’ll give her to you—no strings attached. All you need to do is stay loyal to our cause.”
“And you’ll stay out of her life?” Howard’s expression remained cold and unyielding.
“I swear. We value skilled people like you. And, honestly, we have more than enough assassins like Milly.” The man smirked as he stepped forward, extending his hand. “So, what do you say? Deal?”
The man was sure Howard wouldn’t refuse. And just as he anticipated, Howard extended his hand. The man’s smirk deepened as he believed he had won.
