Chapter 1067

"My last assignment was to wipe out the entire Grevenberg family-all thirty-eight of them. But for the first time, I couldn't bring myself to do it. There were kids, so many of them. I don't kill children. That's my line. Half of them were just kids, and I couldn't go through with it. Shadow saw what I was struggling with. That night, he drugged me and left me on a broken-down boat. He told me he'd handle the job instead. With Crimson Moon, the only thing that matters is the end result, not how you get there."

"So as long as the Grevenberg family was dead, the organization would say the mission was done. After that, Crimson Moon would erase the name 'Shadow,' and I'd finally be free."

None of them had ever guessed Jeffery had a past like this.

Chloe especially knew who Shadow was-her mentor.

Her mentor, who loved life and found joy in the smallest things. He was always playing tricks and bending the rules, but at his core, he was one of the kindest people she knew.

She never would have guessed he'd been raised by a brutal organization to be a killer.

But then Chloe caught something in his words.
