Chapter 1073
Chapter 1073 In A Predicament
He was like a demon in the darkness, donning a mask of mystery. So far, he had only shown his
chilling and intimidating silhouette. Up until now, no one could discern his true identity.
Five years ago, she established the Saviors. Its influence expanded too rapidly, catching the attention
of The Exterminator. That man hunted her for two years.
It was a very treacherous escape for Bailey.
During those two years, while she was investigating him, he was also investigating her.
Perhaps it was because their strengths were evenly matched neither could outdo the other in the end.
Finally, three years ago, she had spent over a month in Quilton, engrossed in learning embroidery from
Yrina. When she emerged, she was shocked to hear about a major reshuffle in Interpol. The
to his capable subordinate, Reba.
Reba Sutton.
If she could capture that woman, could she draw out The Exterminator and avenge the oppression she
suffered years ago?
“Interpol?”
Zeke nodded and said with a smile, “To be precise, it was the highestmander of Interpol, Reba
Sutton. This woman even visited Artemis at the research base in Moranta a few months ago.”
“I''m really curious, why did Reba choose Artemis to help her deal with ck Puma? After all, they
don''t have much inmon. Shouldn''t she seek help from The Exterminator whenever she is in
trouble?”
With a teasing smile, Bailey raised an eyebrow and asked, “Have you also heard of The Exterminator?”
“How could I not know a person of such great influence in the past? But I couldn''t find out his identity,
he just disappeared without a trace, leaving no evidence behind.”
The smile on Bailey''s face deepened, a strange light flickering in her eyes. “If I couldn''t find out, do you
think Artemis could?”
After a moment of contemtion, Zeke candidly said, “He should be able to do that, right? He''s the
leader of Tarragon, the most powerful underground force. He must have been suppressed by The
Exterminator in the past, so how could he not know a thing or two about thetter?”
“When you have a moment, ask him. I''m quite curious myself. Back in the day, The Exterminator wiped
out one of the Shurmer family''s strongholds in Golden Triangle. I still remember that score.”
Just as Bailey was about to speak, the phone she was holding rang. She nced down and saw that it
was a call from Artemis.
Huh, speak of the devil.
“It''s evening over in Zaewora now, isn''t it? Have you had dinner yet?”
Artemis'' voice was a little weary when it came through the microphone. “I had a bit of an incident during
the day. I presume you''ve already received the news. You don''t need to worry about me, I''m not hurt.”
“We''re out of danger now. I heard there''s been an incident with Saunders Group. Don''t overwork
yourself over it. Just let Simon handle it.”
Bailey blinked, and she recalled Zeke''s suggestion earlier. Raising an eyebrow, she asked, “Artemis,
do you know anything about The Exterminator?”
The breathing on the other end paused, falling silent for a good ten seconds before Artemis finally
asked, “Why bring him up all of a sudden? He''s nothing more than a troublemaker in the underground
circle.
“I''ve offended countless people in the past, including Tarragon. I''m not interested in those who
everyone else despises.”
“Is that so? What a pity. Zeke and I also despise him to the point of gritting our teeth. We were just
pondering how to flush him out.
“We figured you must have had quite a few encounters with him, and we hoped to get some useful
leads from you. If you don''t know, then never mind.”
Artemis cleared his throat lightly, and changed the subject. “Have you decided on the type of
embroidery for your wedding dress yet?”
Seeing him dodge the question, Bailey didn''t press further. Following his lead, she said, “I''ve taken your
suggestion and arranged for the Strasson family topete with the Yrina family. The results will be
out the day after tomorrow, and I''ll let you know then.”
“Alright, I have some matters to attend to, so I''ll hang up now. Take good care of yourself and don''t get
too tired.”
After he finished speaking, he immediately ended the call.
Bailey couldn''t help but mutter, “He hung up so quickly. Could he be feeling guilty about something?”
Zeke was right to ask, why did Reba seek help from Artemis instead of The Exterminator?
Could there really be a past between them that she was unaware of?
Huh, there is nothing I can do now that man is thousands of miles away. If I don''t stay alert, who knows
if Artemis'' soul might be ensnared by that seductive and enchanting woman.
Also, who exactly is Reba?
The top talent nurtured by The Exterminator set traps in every move they made.
God knew whether her approach to Artemis, and pulling him into that vortex, was a long-nned
scheme.
Tarragon had now grown sorge that it was putting pressure on Interpol. Perhaps they''d set this trap
to lure Artemis into it, attempting to annihte him.
Regardless of whether Artemis and Reba had a past, or if she was simply setting a trap to ensnare
Artemis, his current situation was extremely precarious.
“Zeke, I need to make a trip to Zaewora, I''m afraid Reba has ulterior motives.”
“Are you worried that he might be beguiled by Reba and do something that would hurt you?”
“This is just a minor issue. The real concern is if The Exterminator is lurking in the shadows, aiming to
deal with Artemis and weaken the power of Tarragon. After all, Tarragon''s current strength is terrifyingly
formidable.”
Zeke furrowed his brows, and said in a deep voice, “Your concerns are not without merit. Indeed, we
need to be careful.
“How about this, move the match on the day after tomorrow to tomorrow, choose a tailor for your
wedding dress, and then head off to Zaewora.
“So, what''s your n for Rainie? She didn''t miscarry, this issue needs to be resolved. We can''t just
keep dragging it on.”
Bailey added, “You keep looking for that waitress who had runaway. I''m sure she has something on
Karina.”
The knot in the hearts of Rainie and Sylvestery in their mutual betrayal. Only by rifying this, could
they see hope in their rtionship.
As for the child in her womb, I''ve given her some medication. She won''t experience any pregnancy
symptoms and should be able to hold on for a while.
“By the time you find that waitress, she''ll probably be able to do an amniocentesis for a paternity test.
Let''s just put an end to this.”
“Alright then, it''s settled.”
That afternoon, Shurmer Group issued a statement, announcing that in order to have a wedding dress
made for Bailey, Mrs. Shurmer had specially invited the embroidery masters from the Strasson family
and the Yrina family to Hallsbay. The following morning, the two families wouldpete in an
embroidery contest at the Shurmer family''s manor. The winner would bemissioned by the Shurmer
family to sew Bailey''s wedding dress.
Subsequently, the Shurmer family announced the list ofpetitors. the Yrina family was represented
by Zara, while the Strasson family was represented by Mnie.
Those who were familiar with traditional embroidery had undoubtedly heard of these two individuals.
Each had inherited their family''s unique embroidery techniques and could rightfully be called masters.
While thispetition may not have garnered worldwide attention, it certainly caused quite a stir
among the elites of Hallsbay.
Many distinguisheddies and daughters of noble families enjoy wearing cheongsams, most of which
are embroidered by the two renowned families.
Now that both families were inpetition, it would certainly be an interesting event.
Moreover, the winner would bemissioned by the Shurmer family to tailor the wedding dress for
Bailey. This made them even more curious about who woulde out on top.
Now, it was a tacit understanding that Bailey''s wedding would undoubtedly be the center of global
attention, with international tycoons gathering in droves, creating an unparalleled spectacle.
It was clear that the embroidered wedding dress she wore would make that embroiderer''s family name
renowned worldwide.
To put it inly, Bailey''s wedding was bound to set off a wave internationally. The family of the
embroiderer who would be crafting her wedding dress was set to soar to great heights, making a

spectacr leap in their status.
The next day.
The courtyard of the Shurmer residence was bustling like a marketce.
In the midst of the hustle and bustle, Bailey received a phone call. The person on the other end said
that something had happened to Zara.
