Chapter 237

Chapter 237 Hawkeye As the two conversed, Emrys also listened from the side. However, his emotions remained undisturbed, as if he were listening to a story that had nothing to do with him. After all, it seemed like it really didn’t concern him in the first place.

Those guys in Central Chanaean Martial Arts Alliance are really too lame, actually coming up with a Chanaea Grandmaster List. They must have too much time on their hands. Emrys shook his head.

“Rys.” Just as the story was reaching its most exciting part, Yelena suddenly arrived at the Apricot Hall.

She found Emrys and said, “Come with me to the bar!”

“What’s wrong, Lena? I thought you’d already become a hands–off boss. Why are you still going to the bar? Could it be to drown your sorrows… Don’t tell me you’ve also suffered a heartbreak like Nina?”

Ever since Yelena became a cultivator, she stopped managing the bar, leaving it in the hands of the staff below. That was still acceptable, but what was surprising was that she never mentioned her promising career as an assassin again.

Emrys speculated that the set of nocturnal clothing hidden in her room had probably already been burned by her.

Regarding Yelena’s behavior, Emrys finally summed it up as her ignoring her proper occupation.

“Heartbreak, my foot!” Yelena flicked Emrys‘ forehead and dragged him away from Apricot Hall, not even bothering to bid farewell to Caylie.

Upon seeing her hurried steps and serious expression, Emrys sensed that there might indeed be an urgent matter. Consequently, he couldn’t help but ask. “What on earth happened, Lena?”

Yelena said, “Rys, since you already know about my identity as an assassin, I won’t hide it from you anymore. This time, I’m going to meet someone, my superior from Shadow Garden, codenamed Hawkeye.”

After all, Shadow Garden was an organization that operated in the shadows, adopting a small team model of one to three people. Moreover, everyone used code names to address each other to avoid being caught all at once.

The codename for Yelena was Nightrose. The other three members of her team were respectively known as Hawkeye, Black Reaper, and White Reaper, who were the same two individuals that Emrys had taken down last time.

Hawkeye was Yelena’s higher–up, the only one who knew the true identities of the three individuals.

The reason Hawkeye had approached Yelena was likely related to the death of Black Reaper and White Reaper.

Yelena brought Emrys along, primarily as a precautionary measure.

Emrys said, “Lena, if that’s the case, won’t it mean that if we eliminate that Hawkeye, no one will know about your assassin identityý?”

Chapter 237 Hawkeye Yelena nodded. “Indeed, that’s the case. Although Hawkeye also has higher–ups, his higher–up probably doesn’t know my identity.”

The management style of such small teams was nothing if not cautious. Even if one thread at the bottom were severed, it wouldn’t affect those above or others within the same group. Unless, of course, it was peeled off layer by layer from the top, but that would undoubtedly be a massive undertaking, providing ample time for Shadow Garden to react and adjust.

Emrys slapped his forehead and said, “It just dawned on me. You and Issa should have been at odds, yet you’ve managed to coexist peacefully all these years?”

“I only found out recently that Larissa is the leader of Central Chanaean Martial Arts Alliance.

Moreover, I’ve done a good job of keeping my identity a secret…” As Yelena spoke, she cast a faint glare at Emrys. “This is all your fault. Everything was thrown into chaos the moment you returned.”

“Now that you mention it, I do feel quite accomplished… By the way, Lena, why did you join Shadow Garden in the first place, and why do you want to leave now?”

Judging by Lena’s demeanor, she was certainly not planning to have tea with Hawkeye. It was clear that she intended to confront him because only by eliminating Hawkeye could she truly sever ties with that assassin organization.

Yelena said, “Let’s discuss this later. First let me finish the important tasks at hand.”

During the day, the bar was sparsely populated.

Yelena instructed Emrys to wait at the door of the VIP room while she herself pushed open the door and entered the private room. Inside, she saw a figure already seated, shrouded from head to toe.

Upon hearing a noise, the figure lifted his head, his face also adorned with a specially made mask.
