Joe hung up the phone, knowing that if Carl found out he was with Yvette, he would definitely feel at ease.

After they left, Yvette finished her shower and stepped out of the bathroom, only to find Jeremiah standing by the window. His tall, imposing figure cast a sense of unapproachable aloofness, even from behind. Hearing Yvette's footsteps, Jeremiah turned around, casually grabbing a towel and looking down at her. His eyes, deep and unreadable, flickered with an emotion that was hard to explain.

The droplets of water traced down Yvette's fair neck, glistening in the light. Her skin, smooth and soft, shimmered with a tempting glow.

Jeremiah looked away to avoid eye contact and slowly wiped Yvette's wet hair with the towel. His eyes never left her as he asked in a low voice, "Why did you agree to help Damian train the Seventy-Two Chambers?" Jeremiah wasn't curious about Yvette's connection to Deadlock. What really intrigued him was how Damian had convinced her to train such a fierce team.

Yvette lifted her gaze, looking calm. She looked at Jeremiah's handsome face and said in a cold voice, "It's a debt of gratitude. He saved my life years ago."

It was the only time Yvette had lost control of the toxins in her body, going into a frenzy. It was Damian who had saved her life. An eye for an eye, and a favor for a favor. That had always been her belief.

Jeremiah's grip tightened suddenly. He thought, 'A debt of gratitude? She made it sound so simple, but the truth must be far more complicated.

There was no need to ask further. Without saying a word, Jeremiah pulled Yvette into his arms, holding her waist tightly, and at that moment, his silence spoke louder than anything.

Nestled in Jeremiah's embrace, Yvette felt a warmth she had never known before. From the moment she was born until now, his arms were the only place that had ever felt like home.

The next afternoon, many men in black entered the hotel and went straight to the floor where Yvette and her people were staying. A door opened from the inside, and the leading man, along with the others, bowed their heads respectfully, greeting, "Mr. Yoder." Joe nodded. "I didn't expect you to be so quick."

An hour later, the hotel was cleared out. The only people left inside were Yvette, Jeremiah, and their people.

The door opened again, and Joe came out, dressed in a custom-made black suit and polished shoes. His entire demeanor had shifted from yesterday's casualness to one of cold, calculated authority, and the black-clad men from before followed him in. Samantha, Emmett, Charles, and the Eagle King watched Joe's complete transformation. It was true that clothes made the man, but as soon as Joe spoke, they all realized that, despite his polished appearance, he was still the same guy as before. Joe said, "Your charming boy is back, Yvette."
