Masked In Nobility: Secrets Of Mrs. Chavez by Selina Gorges

Once Yvette got in the car, she skipped the small talk and immediately asked, “What’s going on with Flying Fish?”

Eagle King had dark circles around his eyes, and he looked pretty bad. He sounded tired. “Boss, a few days ago someone placed an order on the Black Gold website targeting a man from Clusia, I don’t know if Flying Fish lost her mind or if she’s gone stupid over that celebs, but she didn’t even check the details before taking the job. She only discovered after arriving there that the man she was supposed to kill wasn’t just anybody. He’s a Clusian major general”

He continued. “It wasn’t a big deal to go through with it, but Flying Fish found out that it was Caleb who ordered the hit. That major general had destroyed one of his transnational crime organizations. Once she knew, she wanted to call it off.”

“Boss, you know that crazy woman despises human traffickers and would love nothing more than to tear them all to pieces. Why would she take the job when someone else was doing her a Livor by targeting those lowlifes!” Eagle King sighed softly. both affectionate and exasperated with Flying Fish.

He then explained. “I got her text, and that’s basically what it said. Since I arrived in Kransbay, I’ve been investigating Flying Fish’s last known location. I finally discovered her latest signal in the Kerton family’s turf down south. She must’ve been caught by accident.”

“The good news is she didn’t reveal she was Flying Fish when she took the job, she used a regular account. Can you imagine what the Kerton family would’ve done to her if they knew that they had captured the world’s third–ranked assassin? Boss, you know a lot of people want Flying Fish dead,” said Eagle King.

Yvette’s hand paused as she held her phone. A major general from Clusia? Golden Triangle a few days ago? So, the person Flying Fish wanted to kill must be him,‘ she pondered.

For the first time, Yvette felt a slight headache. She was almost certain that that person was still somewhere in Golden Triangle. What if they ran into him?

A wave of inexplicable nerves rose within her–a feeling she had never encountered before, making her somewhat uneasy.
