Chapter 416:
Twirling the dark gun in his hand, Hale narrowed his eyes with cold intensity and swiftly aimed it at the lead assassin.
With a loud bang, the lead assassin collapsed in a pool of blood, his eyes wide in shock and disbelief before he took his last breath.
Hale, as if no one else were present, walked up to Harlee with a smile, his eyes filled with a mixture of affection and obsession.
âQuick Cameo, itâs been a while.â He then whispered, âI knew you still cared about me.â
Harlee paused, lifting her gaze to meet his, her expression cold and unfeeling.
As soon as Hale looked into Harleeâs eyes, his aggressive demeanor softened.
His lips pressed tightly together, and his face took on a sorrowful expression.
He gazed at her with deep, affectionate eyes that seemed sincere and harmless, as if he hadnât just killed a subordinate.
With the same disdainful expression she had shown five years earlier, Harlee looked at Hale indifferently and asked, âArenât you just forcing me to kill you?â
Haleâs face became grave, his hands involuntarily clenching at his sides.
He had resurrected the Dark Night, allowing them to distribute drugs and create chaos, all to draw Harlee out. Over the years, Hale had attempted to find Harlee numerous times, but each attempt failed. It seemed she could anticipate his moves, always vanishing just before he could reach her.
After relentlessly learning how to mask his own tracks, Hale realized that if Harlee chose not to be found, he would likely never see her again in his lifetime.
Thus, he crafted this plot.

He had agreed with her years ago that he should steer clear of drug trafficking and wouldnât inflict harm on the people of Mogluylia.
Hale had waited a full year, but Harlee never came, so he deliberately used Matteoâs influence to trap her in the rainforest. The explosion at the research base was also part of his scheme.
He was aware that the Dark Nightâs drug operations would result in many deaths, so the biochemical weapons at the research base were meant as his compensation.
The only unforeseen element was Rhysâ involvementâ¦
âMe? Why would I wish for you to kill me? And force you? I would never force you to do anything you hate, I swear!â Hale replied.
Everyone present lowered their heads upon hearing this, grasping the undertone of Haleâs words.
Robbie, equally stunned, was unaware of Harleeâs past with Hale.
Hale, who was rumored to show no interest in women, was actually infatuated with Harlee? Just the thought of it made Robbie feel disgusted on Harleeâs behalf.
Harleeâs lips twisted into a mocking smile, her eyes tinged with a hint of crimson, her face cold and indifferent.
âOh really? My hands are just itching to kill you right now!â
Haleâs smile persisted, but the fleeting coldness on his face soon gave way to a look of pity.
âWe made a promise, remember? You wonât kill me,â he said, his voice deep and magnetic, filled with a sense of grievance.
Harlee handed her heavy machine gun to Robbie and lightly patted Haleâs shoulder.
âOne more time, and the promise is void!â Her tone was cold and distant, as if she were looking at something unimportant.
