Chapter 151
They gotta deal with the guy who just passed out on the floor as fast as possible.
Eileen immediately took out her phone, ready to ring up the cops.
While she was at it, she figured she might as well report on seeing NightKing.
The guy was not only a murderer, but he seemed to think killing was just a casual hobby.
Did he think this was some sort of lawless playground? Well, he’s in for a rude awakening!
Eileen was already scheming up a revenge plan in her head!
She eagerly took out her phone, only to find it was on the fritz again.
Quietly, she put her phone back into her pocket. Eileen had no choice but to ask Egbert, who was standing nearby, for help: “I need to use your phone, I gotta call the cops…”
Egbert just silently looked at her, and after a moment, he took out his phone and made a call.
Eileen stretched out her hand, “Let me do the talking.”
She was worried that Egbert wouldn’t be able to explain the situation accurately to the police. After all, Egbert was clueless, he was just an innocent bystander.
Egbert didn’t call the police though, instead, he called the military district of Harborview City.
An hour later, Eileen was sitting quietly in a hotel room, hugging a pillow.
In front of her, stood several armed soldiers.
Eileen looked fearfully at the soldiers, then at Egbert, who was having a conversation with the military leader.
She opened her mouth, wanting to call out to Egbert.
Egbert saw her. After he said a few words to the leader, he came over and sat next to Eileen.
Eileen leaned towards Egbert, then gingerly said to the soldiers, “I acted in self-defence, the guy isn’t dead…
The military leader looked very stern. He was very tall, and had a scar on his face.
He sat across from Eileen, trying his best to look approachable, but the sharpness in his eyes still made him intimidating.
“Do you know about Bloodbane Shadowsociety?” he asked.
Eileen couldn’t tell them she knew about the organization, and she certainly couldn’t tell them about her kidnapping at twenty, her unexpected rescue by the leader of the Bloodbane Shadowsociety, how he became her mentor, taught her shooting, fighting, and how he tried to lure her into crime! But she resolutely refused! She was always a good, law-abiding citizen!
After a long pause, Eileen knew she couldn’t tell the truth.
All she could tell them was, “I’ve heard of the Bloodbane Shadowsociety. Seems like they’re a criminal organization operating between several Southeast Asian
countries.”
The leader looked at her seriously, then said with a stern tone, “Seems like you do know quite a bit”
Eileen didn’t respond.
The leader leaned forward a bit, elbows on his knees, looking into Eileen’s eyes, “What else do you know?”
Eileen went on, “I also know that while the Bloodbane Shadowsociety is known as an assassin organization, they mainly work as bounty hunters. They don’t. typically kill without reason. Their targets are often domestic and international fugitives. They retrieve fugitives for the government and collect bounties. Sometimes they also take jobs from gangs, like helping a gang eliminate their enemies, or acting as mercenaries in war-torn countries, helping rebels or governments attack or break out of sieges. Who they help mainly depends on who offers more money.”
Eileen concluded, “They’re extremely dangerous.”
The leader’s face had turned very grim by now.
He looked at Egbert, then said sternly, “She must come with us.”
Egbert suddenly gripped Eileen’s hand tightly.
After a moment, he said nervously, “Mr. Reed will be here shortly.”
The leader’s face changed. In all of Crestonia, there was only one marshal.
Mr. Reed was going to handle this personally?
Eileen looked at Egbert, her eyebrows furrowed slightly.
Mr. Reed?
The leader was silent for a moment, took a deep breath, and continued to stare at Eileen, “Is that all you know about the Bloodbane Shadowsociety?”
Eileen shook her head, and quickly spoke up.
“Of course not. I also know about the leader of Bloodbane Shadowsociety, who’s known as NightKing. He’s a dangerous assassin who started off as a mercenary, then founded the Bloodbane Shadowsociety. i hoard he was even recruited by the governments of some countries…”
The leader immediately stood up, “Egbert, you should understand the importance of this matter! Even if Mr. Reed comes, she must come with us!”
Egbert’s brow furrowed, and he turned to look at Eileen.
He had checked Eileen’s entire past. There was no way she could have had contact with anyone from the Bloodbane Shadowsociety.
Egbert looked into Eileen’s eyes, and asked in a softer voice, “How do you know all this?”
Eileen gritted her teeth, “I saw it on a law-related TV show.”
Egbert and the leader were both left speechless.
Eileen looked up, carefully asked, “You’ve never seen it? That show’s really popular. It mainly talks about foreign criminal organizations and famous criminals. There was one episode about the Bloodbane Shadowsociety.”
As Eileen was speaking, she borrowed Egbert’s phone again, fiddled with it for a bit, and finally found a video.
The video was from an episode from last year. The female host was educating viewers in a standard broadcasting voice about large-scale criminal activities and the level of punishment in Crestonia.
The hostess said, “Rumor has it that the no.1 professional hitman on the global killer ranking, codenamed NightKing, is proficient in firearms and explosives. Here are some photos, all taken from crime scenes after the incidents.”
“Next, we have a real interview video with a criminal. He detailed the Bloodbane Shadowsociety that he has seen…”
Then the scene shifted to a convict in a prison uniform. NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.
He sat in the visiting room, his face pixelated, talking a lot to the journalist.
And what he said was pretty much what Eileen had just mentioned.
He even mentioned that members of the Bloodbane Shadowsociety all have a tattoo on their chest, which represented their spiritual totem…
The leader’s face was now extremely gloomy.
Eileen hung her head in silence, not daring to say more.
She knew about the Bloodbane Shadowsociety not because she had watched this show.
She had indeed watched this video, which was shown to her by NightKing in her previous life.
At that time, NightKing was very proud to show her their corporate culture.
Two hours later, when Albert arrived, the soldiers had already left.
Egbert opened the door for his father, and outside the door, besides his father, were his father’s two subordinates.
Seeing that Egbert was fine, Albert let out a sigh of relief, “You found him yesterday, he must have found you, too. You shot him four times in Cambodia, and he must want revenge. But I didn’t expect that he only sent one person. Does he look down on you that much?”
Egbert calmly responded, “Maybe he thinks I’ve retired.”
Albert shook his head and asked again, “How did Eileen find out about the Bloodbane Shadowsociety?”
Egbert then explained to his father what had happened.
After hearing this, Albert nodded and sincerely praised, “She’s really a good girl who loves to read, watch news, and pay attention to legal programs. Where is she?”
Egbert replied, “She’s at the TV station.”
Albert became even happier, “She loves to work, too.”
Egbert looked at his father and said, “She’s not there to work. It’s almost noon. She’s at the TV station cafeteria for lunch. She’ll be back after she eats.”
Albert was speechless.
After a moment of silence, Albert sat down and said, “Then I’ll wait for her to come back and see her.”
Egbert frowned.
Albert said, ‘Don’t worry, I know what to say and what not to say. I knew her before you guys, I just want to catch up with her.”
With that, Albert looked up at Egbert and asked, “I knew her before you guys, I even held her in my arms, did I tell you that?”
Yes, he did, probably about twenty times or so.
