Chapter 844: The Last Mission: A Bold Declaration
Spider and Violet exchanged glances with one another. They couldn't believe that Chantha was very enthusiastic about meeting Phantomflake, instead of hating the assassin for being their enemy.
"Hey, Sis. I know you have a big crush on our Supreme Leader so I understand if you hate Monica. But don't be so insensitive toward our Boss. How can you act so happily just thinking about meeting Phantomflake in person?" Violet reprimanded her twin sister.
Chantha shrugged her shoulders. "Eh? What's wrong with that? I'm curious about her. Besides, with her reputation, I can say that she is so cool! I admire fierce women like her!" She declared matter-of-factly, her eyes twinkling with excitement.
Spider also nodded in agreement to Chantha's last remarks. "Well, to be honest, I'm also looking forward to meeting her. And you know what? There is something fishy about tonight's mission!"
Chantha and Violet frowned in confusion. "What do you mean by that?" They asked him in unison.
"Imagine this as a miracle! Our Supreme Leader accompanied by so many elite members launched a surprise attack against Phantom Assassin Guild. We expected to have bloodshed in this fight. But surprisingly, there was no casualty on either side!" Spider relayed the information he got from his underlings who joined the mission.
The twin sisters were surprised.
"Really?!" Chantha gasped.
"How could that be possible?" Violet probed.
"Hmm. Phantomflake surrendered easily without putting up a fight. And she even kissed our Supreme Leaders on the lips in front of everyone!"
Chantha's jaw dropped while Violet's eyes widened as they screamed "WHAT?!"
Spider chuckled at their shocked reactions. The twins had similar expressions on their beautiful faces.
"I thought they were joking. But they were all serious when they relayed the information to me. I tried asking Axel but he didn't reply. Let's ask him later once he arrives!"
Chantha pouted her lips. "This is so unfair! I've been flirting with our Supreme Leader for a long time but I've never kissed him yet! Damn! I need to get to know this Phantomflake. How can she do that?!"
"I'm jealous… but I admit that she's amazing because she managed to do that to our Supreme Leader!" Chantha added, praising Jane's boldness.
"Oh, Shit! They are here!" Violet interrupted, pointing her finger in the hallway as she saw Axel escorting new faces with him.
Spider and Chantha immediately followed Violet's line of sight, only to see two lovely ladies following Axel from behind.
"Who is Phantomflake between the two?" Spider whispered to the twin sisters as they waited for Axel and the two ladies to pass by their spots.
"Maybe the girl who looks very serious and quiet," Violet guessed, referring to Black Rose who had been serious ever since she entered the Syphiruz Mafia's territory. She had been worried for Jane's safety.
On the other hand, Jane kept her gentle and calm expression as her eyes scanned her surroundings. She had been there in Nathan's headquarters many times so she was already familiar with every corner of the hideout.
"Axel!" Chantha ran to them without a second thought. She blocked their paths and darted her gaze back and forth between Jane and Black Rose.
"Who is Phantomflake between the two?" Chantha addressed her question to Axel.
Before Axel could respond, Jane grabbed Chantha's hand, shaking it gently. "Hi, Chantha! It's me. Phantomflake. I'm so happy to see you here!" She smiled warmly at her.
Chantha fell silent for a moment. She couldn't believe that Phantomflake greeted her first and that she even knew her name. Surprisingly, she even used her friendly tone as she spoke to her.
"H-How… did you… r-recognize me?" Chantha stammered in disbelief. Her twin sister, Violet was also there. But Jane specifically called her name!
Jane wrapped her hand around her shoulder and replied, "Hmm. Simply because… I like you to be my friend!"
Chantha: "..."
"Hi there, Violet and Spider!" Jane greeted the other two by calling their names.
Violet: "..."
Joker: "..."
'How did she know them too?' Axel pondered to himself, watching Jane in amusement.
Jane was giving them one shock after another.
"Sis! Why are you acting so friendly with them? They are our enemies!" Black Rose butted in. She could no longer stay quiet.
She pulled Jane away from Chantha and others, shielding her as part of her protective gesture.
Jane just smiled and thought inwardly, 'They are our friends, Cherry. Not our enemies. At this moment, I have to get close to them and curry favor from them so that I can do what I want while pursuing Nathan. I must convince them that I'm not their enemy.'
"And who are you?" Chantha asked Black Rose, eyeing her from head to toe. She scowled at her since she was displeased when Black Rose pulled Jane away from her.
"I'm not obliged to tell you my name!" Black Rose spat back at Chantha.
The tension between Chantha and Black Rose grew as they continued looking dagger at each other.
"Hey, don't fight here!" Axel stepped into the middle and held Chantha's shoulders.
Chantha glared at him. "Don't touch me! Are you siding with that woman?" She felt annoyed since Axel seemed to protect Black Rose from her.
Axel sighed helplessly, scratching his face. Chantha had misunderstood him. He stepped into the middle to protect Chantha if Phantomflake and Black Rose suddenly charged in. He didn't want her to get hurt.
"I'm not siding with her." Axel casually responded, keeping his cool. "Our Supreme Leader commanded me to bring them here. We agreed not to fight. Phantomflake and her comrade here will cooperate with us."
"Tsk," Chantha clicked her tongue in annoyance. "Fine. Then just fight me instead!" She challenged Axel, raising her fist in front of him.
Jane shook her head helplessly. 'Sigh. What am I doing here? I prefer to stay at Sparks Mansion. I want to see my son.'
"Stop arguing for goodness's sake!" Jane broke her silence, raising her voice. Her gentle aura was gone, replaced by her fierce and intimidating look.
For some unknown reason, Jane's voice brought a chill down their spines. Axel, Chantha, Violet, Spider, and Black Rose were all rendered speechless, afraid of Jane's getting mad. Offending the legendary assassin might cost them their lives so they must behave.
"Call your Supreme Leader. I need to talk to him!" Jane demanded. She didn't know where Nathan went after leaving Phantom Assassin Guild's hideout.
"He went home already to rest," Axel responded. "He didn't want to be disturbed at this hour."
Jane's disappointment was visible on her face.
Meanwhile, when Jane mentioned Nathan, Chantha recalled the shocking news coming from Spider.
"Hey, Phantomflake! Is it true?! Did you kiss our Boss?" Chantha asked her expectantly.
"Of course, I did! Why?" Jane replied, smirking playfully.
The three gasped in surprise upon hearing Jane's confirmation. No way! She really did it! So bold.
"Then… how come you are still alive?" Chantha asked her again with a silly expression on her face.
Jane's giggle bubbled up in the hallway before she answered her.
"Maybe because Nathan liked it. He enjoyed the taste of my lips," Jane said shamelessly, winking at them. "Oh. I can't die just yet because I'm meant to marry your Supreme Leader! I'll make him MINE!" She declared.
Everyone: "..."
