Chapter 74 It Was Gabriel

He was dressed the same as Yelena, with a mask of a different design and a black suit.

They belonged to the same assassin organization, Shadow Garden.

Yelena recognized him when she perceived his mask and exclaimed, “White Reaper!” If he’s here, it means his partner is also present! Sh*t! I’ve fallen for their trap! He was luring me away so Black Reaper could infiltrate Verdant Estate!

A sense of unease swelled in Yelena’s heart.

Instead of wasting time talking with White Reaper, she bolted back to Verdant Estate.

Of course, White Reaper wouldn’t allow her to flee that easily.

“When we received the mission, we thought this would be a standard assassination. To think we would accidentally stumble into Nightrose’s residence! Wouldn’t you say that’s quite the coincidence, Yelena?”

White Reaper directly called Yelena by her real name.

Everyone in Shadow Garden referred to each other by their codenames. Additionally, they all wore black and a mask when they were executing their missions to prevent anyone from learning their true identity.

After all, their activities were illegal.

Once an assassin’s identity was revealed, their enemies would seek them out for revenge, and Shadow Garden would hunt them down to tie up any loose ends.

Thus, when Yelena heard White Reaper calling her by her real name, she shuddered.

At that moment, White Reaper sneered, “I recall Nightrose castrated the son of the Chalker family around half a year ago. Say, what do you think will happen if they learn Nightrose is Yelena Lynch, hmm?”

Chapter 75 Perverted White Reaper

“Shut your mouth!” growled Yelena. A cold, bloodthirsty expression settled on her countenance. I only have one option, and that is to kill White Reaper. Then, I’ll eliminate Black Reaper so no one can reveal my identity. Although, it’s going to be difficult. I’m about as capable as either of them, so it’ll be challenging for me to kill one of them, much less both. Most importantly, if I spend too much time here, Black Reaper will complete his mission. In fact, it’s possible it’s already done. As a fellow member of Shadow Garden, I know how they operate. Black Reaper has a different killing style from White Reaper, preferring to eliminate his target as quickly and efficiently as possible. I think around five minutes have passed since I left Verdant Estate, enough time for Black Reaper to assassinate his target a hundred times over. Even if I rush back to Verdant Estate at this moment, it’s possible the only thing I’ll find there is a pool of blood. If I were a more merciless assassin, I would’ve opted to kill White Reaper here and now before chasing after Black Reaper. This way, I can at least protect my identity. However… I can’t do it. As long as there’s still a sliver of hope my family can be saved, I must return to Verdant Estate at once, even if my identity is at risk of being exposed.

As a result, Yelena only paused for a moment before sprinting toward her home. My only regret is that I didn’t wake Rys up before I chased after White Reaper. Rys is a pretty good fighter, so Black Reaper might’ve had more difficulty accomplishing his goal if Rys had been there to stall him. I hope I’m not too late.

She prayed for the safety of her family in her mind.

Meanwhile, White Reaper grinned wretchedly and expeditiously blocked Yelena’s path. “To think you’re still trying to save your family in this situation. It seems you’re not as cold–blooded as your reputation suggests.”

Yelena roared, “I don’t have time to deal with you! Scram!”

“You may be in a rush, but I’m not!” White Reaper smirked. “You should’ve known emotions are an assassin’s greatest weakness when you joined the organization, Ms. Yelena. Don’t tell me you’re unaware of this principle?”

While he and Black Reaper were brothers, he wouldn’t hesitate to abandon Black Reaper if he were in Yelena’s shoes. In fact, he’d personally kill Black Reaper to protect himself. Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

Being merciless was a crucial tenet of an assassin.

Yelena could act like she was heartless, but she wasn’t genuinely cold–blooded. Thus, she wasn’t an

authentic assassin.

Swoosh!

In an instant, both combatants crossed blades.

Yelena wasn’t interested in fighting, so she was on the defensive while continuing to retreat.

White Reaper was in no rush to eliminate Yelena. Instead, he was treating their encounter like a cat– and–mouse chase. With his sharp blade, he slashed Yelena’s black suit. “I visited your bar in the past, Ms. Yelena. When I first saw you, I was drawn by your queenly demeanor. You have no idea how much I hope I could play with you…”
