“Blood Rose will not return to the Double Dragon Court. I think she planned the entire thing herself just to get revenge,” Olivia said.
Eugene’s handsome face bore a stern expression, and he said, “That’s right. The Double Dragon Court must know nothing. Why else would she act so rashly and bring along such a small group of assassins? Still, she will find another chance to get back at you. The bodyguards will be assigned to you from tomorrow onward.”
“She must only be after me. I’m sorry for involving you in this,” Jewel admitted guiltily.
“Don’t hold yourself accountable for everything. Blood Rose was not surprised to see me, so it means she has thoroughly investigated us. Why else would the police have found you so quickly? I think she must have tipped them off,” Olivia remarked.
Suddenly, Jewel experienced a flash of insight and stated, “That’s right. I was wondering why she was so bold. The police were hunting her down, yet she had the guts to attack us. She told me she couldn’t sleep as long as I was alive. When I told her to just kill herself since that would make her sleep forever, she said there was no meaning in dying alone. She said something about having found a companion for me since we were joined at the hip. It certainly does sound like she has done her homework.”
Olivia raised her eyebrows upon hearing this. “This proves that she knows we’re living together. If she’s after anyone, it will be the both of us. Why are you still blaming yourself?”
Jewel suddenly felt comforted by Olivia’s words, and she knew that Olivia had said them to make the two of them sound like a team so that she would feel less guilty. She was aware that Olivia had lived in Mastar worry-free for years and that Olivia was only in danger because she had met her and been dragged into the entire mess.
With her heart bursting with appreciation, she wanted to say so much to Olivia, but she also knew it wasn’t necessary. She knew even if she said anything, Olivia’s chances of staying out of this mess were slim.
On the other hand, Alex seemed to have read Jewel’s mind as he pulled her into his arms. At that moment, his perception of her friendship with Olivia changed. These two women are sisters in arms, living and dying together. Their bond goes beyond what the world would consider sisterhood or friendship. “Don’t worry. Our men are looking for her now. There’s no way she could go far.” Despite the smile still lingering on his lips, there was a vicious look on his face.
“Do not underestimate her,” Olivia said. “Blood. Rose is a cruel woman capable of anything and everything. She was the most daring of our group of assassins. She failed one of her missions back then, and we all assumed she’d die or be severely punished, but none of that happened. Instead, her missions slowly grew easier. Joseph was incredibly vicious and had a heart of stone.
No one dared get near him, but she was brazen enough to sleep with him. Forget how utterly shameful that was and applaud her bravery instead. Not many people have the same bravery she does, let alone have the ability to get Joseph to go easy on her.”
After hearing this, Jewel ducked her head and lowered her eyes as the hands hanging by her side clenched.
On the other hand, Alex did not notice Jewel’s strange behavior as he frowned and thought about what Olivia had just told him. He had heard many rumors about the two men in charge of the Double Dragon Court. Joseph was a cruel and vicious man who thought nothing about taking human lives. Compared to Joseph, Jonathan was slightly better, but he was only pleasant. After all, how else could they have expanded the Double Dragon Court to what it currently was?
Meanwhile, Eugene’s face was cold and fearless as a sinister look flashed in his black. eyes. Even so, his voice was calm as he said, “No matter who they are, all who dare to lay a hand on you will be forced to pay the price.”
