Miranda’s eyes were sharp andplex as she stared at L without blinking, as if waiting for an answer.


    L was confused and asked, “What?”


    Miranda sneered and said, “Don’t you know what you’ve done? Let me ask you again, do you have anything to exin to me?”


    When Miranda saw the photos on the morning of the wedding day, her heart was shaken. She felt disappointed and resentful towards this man who had deceived her.


    She thought that L was just a womanizer who had entangled himself with many women behind her back.


    However, udia’s words this evening made Miranda suspicious.


    Although udia only said something vague about having seen some photos before, Miranda seemed to have caught onto something important.


    How did she know about those photos? Maybe things weren’t as simple as they seemed in those pictures…


    Maybe L could give her an exnation.


    Miranda didn’t even know why she hoped for an exnation from him…


    When she found out that Frederick had betrayed her by fooling around with other women behind her back, there was no hesitation or nostalgia, only disgust! But why did she still hold onto a glimmer of hope for this bastard L?


    As he faced Miranda’s piercing gaze, L couldn’t help but feel a wave of emotion inside him.


    But when he opened his mouth to speak, all he could manage was a bitter smile, “I don’t know what you’re talking about or what I need to exin.”


    “Hmmph,” Miranda scoffed bitterly before turning away from him.


    Her personality prevented her from wanting to ask any more questions. After all if he wasn’t willing to exin himself, then why should she bother asking? It would seem like it mattered too much!


    L looked at Miranda with aplex expression, thinking that he might not even live for three more years. In the end, he simply shook his head, losing interest in pursuing the matter further.


    He had considered saying something to Miranda, at least to find out why her attitude towards him had changed so drastically. But in the end, he dismissed the thought.


    What was the point of saying so much? If when Nora turned seven, he still didn’t have the strength to confront the ancient Willis family, it would only bring trouble to Miranda. The deeper his feelings for her became, the greater the pain he would cause her once he and Nora were gone.


    Regardless of any misunderstandings, let these misunderstandings… continue.


    …


    The Blood ughter Association was headquartered in a building that served as their base of operations!


    Makhi and Dagger, along with several key members of the Blood ughter Association’s assassins, were gathered together at this moment.


    These people were all experts who had worked as mercenaries overseas alongside Makhi.


    Their martial arts skills may not have been particrly strong but their military prowess was impressive. They were well-versed in assassination, reconnaissance and gathering intelligence.


    At this moment, President Makhi looked uncertain!


    They naturally knew about Hawkeye Ghost making such a big fuss before. When they saw L on the final live broadcast screen, they were shocked beyond belief.


    Makhi and Dagger had alsoe near to where the TV station was located before climbing onto a nearby building to observe what was happening through binocrs.


    Of course due to height issues they couldn’t see how Hawkeye Ghost died specifically but there was no doubt that this expert who couldn’t even be killed by sniper rifle fire had been killed by L!


    “Damn it! L is so powerful! Someone who can’t even be killed by sniper rifle fire isn’t his opponent?” Makhi eximed in amazement.


    Dagger also looked frightened, “Yes! Thank goodness we didn’t attack L openly before or else we might have been killed too!”


    Thinking back on how they both wanted to kill L before made them shudder with fear now that they realized just how powerful he really was.


    “President, what do we do now? L is so formidable… how are we supposed to kill him?” Another key member asked anxiously.


    Hearing this question made Makhi p him across his head, “What do you mean ‘kill’?! Do you want us all dead? We’re not killing him anymore!” He cleared his throat then said solemnly, “Of course I’m not afraid of this guy either! Killing people is an art form after all! Even if he’s strong again next time around I’ve got plenty of tricks up my sleeve for taking care of him!”


    “The reason why we’re not killing him anymore is becausest time when Dagger and I got poisoned, he saved our lives!”


    “We have our own code of conduct. Even though we are now assassins, we still need to distinguish between right and wrong, right?”


    Dagger nodded quickly in agreement. “You’re right! Let’s spare his life!” The other key members of the assassin group also echoed their agreement.


    Makhi cleared his throat and then changed his tone as he turned to the people responsible for contacting business on the dark web. “Virus, any businesstely?”


    The guy nicknamed Virus nodded but hesitated before speaking. “There’s a job, but… it’s not an assassination. Someone is hiring us to escort a shipment.”


    “I think we don’t have much going ontely so… let’s take it!” Virus continued.


    Hearing this, Makhi scowled and pointed at him angrily. “What kind of spineless person are you? Do you have no morals? We’re assassins, not couriers! Are you seriously considering taking such a lowly job?”


    “Exactly! Who do you think we are? We used to be elite members of ‘Warfare’, one of the world’s top mercenary organizations,” added Dagger with displeasure.


    They all looked down upon this particr job as if it was an insult to their profession.


    “Uh…” Virus sweated nervously before weakly saying, “But themission is high! If we can deliver this shipment safely into the hands of its recipient, then we will receive 20 million inpensation!”


    “What?” eximed Makhi and Dagger simultaneously when they heard that number.


    “Well… this deal isn’t bad at all!” said Makhi with a smile like a flower blooming while patting Virus’ shoulder approvingly.


    “Yeah,” agreed Dagger with a nod. “We may be assassins but that doesn’t mean that other professions should be disrespected or underestimated by us.”Content rights belong to N?velDrama.Org.


    Virus looked at them both and couldn’t help flipping them off with his middle finger.


    Makhi didn’t mind though; he just grinned widely and asked, “By the way what exactly are they shipping? And where does it need to go?”


    “I don’t know what exactly they’re shipping but their employer is from Jieyson; the surname is Britt who wants us to deliver it to Ghost que Sect,” replied Virus cautiously.


    “Ghost que Sect? What kind of nonsense is that? It sounds so juvenile,” Makhi raised an eyebrow and rubbed his hands together.


    “But who cares, as long as they pay us,” he continued.


    They hadn’t made any money since returning to the country.


    The thought of earning 20 million this time around had them both ecstatic!
