Chapter 84
Digging Their Own Grave
It was obvious that this was a young, whimsical mercenary. If they were going to try and steal it, then they should have just done it. Despite that, they had the gall to announce it ahead of time.
Weren't they just digging their own grave?
Just then, however, the screen flickered again. It was the same sentence as before.
"At three o'clock tonight, I'm going to take the bone whistle."
There was a hint of conceit in those words.
It was as if they were certain that they were going to get it.
It wasn't only the huge LCD screen in the living room. The rest of the computers started up on their own and the same sentence appeared on those screens as well. The TV turned on for no reason with the same sentence. Even the projector was showing those words. All the screens in the villa had been overtaken by the mysterious hacker.
Clement yelled, "Turn it off! Turn everything off!"
"We can't, Boss..." The servants tried to turn it off; but it was useless.
Clement was furious. He shouted at the big screen, "Don't f*ck around. State your name if you want us to take you seriously. Who the hell are you?"
Two words slowly appeared on the screen.
It read: "Lone Shadow".
Lone Shadow?
It was Lone Shadow?
In an instant, the whole villa was filled with gasps.
They were legendary on the mercenary rankings and were in first place on the leaderboard. They had completed hundreds of missions and never been defeated.
The guard in charge of guarding the vault was shocked and asked cautiously, "Boss, what should we do?"
"What are you talking about? I don't care about whoever this Lone Shadow is. If they dare to come, then we'll catch him! We won't let them go!" Clement was livid. "They are the first person to ever provoke me like this!" "Lone Shadow is different from other mercenaries, though. If it's really them, the bone whistle is in danger. If they really stole the bone post without anyone noticing, wouldn't we suffer a great loss?"
The guard tried his best to persuade Clement. He leaned close to Clement's ear and whispered, "Boss, I suggest that we move the bone whistle somewhere else. Even if we hide it on our bodies, it's better than nothing..." Clement was stunned before his expression relaxed a little.
No matter how arrogant he was, Clement knew deep down how famous Lone Shadow was. Lone Shadow. wouldn't have provoked him before coming if they weren't confident. Therefore, he had to be on guard.
"Move it, then." Clement inched over to his trusted subordinate's ear and murmured, "Go and hide the
-Digging Their Own Grave
bone whistle somewhere else. Remember, hide it well, and don't let anyone find it."
"Understood!" The trusted subordinate responded and quickly went to do as he was told.
1/2
Despite that, nobody knew that aside from all the screens in the villa, Lucille had also hacked into all the surveillance cameras inside and outside the building.
Therefore, Lucille was able to clearly see the surveillance footage in which Clement's confidantes moved the bone whistle and where it was hidden.
Even if she didn't know where the bone whistle was hidden before, she definitely knew right then. Lucille's lips curled into a satisfied smile. She then left the system and turned off her computer. Just then, Benjamin sent her a text message.
He said: "The flight is at eight o'clock tonight. I've sent you the flight Information. Take a look."
Lucille glanced at it and then stretched lazily.
It was still early, so she still had time to prepare.
After walking out of the bedroom, Lucille went downstairs to the living room.
There, Molly was sitting alone on the carpet and playing.
When she saw Lucille coming down, Molly tilted her head and asked, "Lucille, are you going out on a mission?
Reveal My Whereabouts
"Yes, I'm going to leave in a while. I'll be back tomorrow morning. Stay at home obediently," Lucille instructed.
Then, she glanced at the villa next door and reminded her, "Molly, remember not to reveal my whereabouts to anyone, okay?"
"Don't worry, Lucille. I understand!" Molly patted her chest and answered with a serious expression.
Lucille smiled and asked Madam Dahlia to make a simple dinner.
She finished eating right on time. Lucille returned to her room to pack up a few things and put her laptop back into her black backpack.
Upon stepping out again, she took a taxi and went straight to the airport.
The
scenery outside the car window swept by quickly.
Lucille casually glanced out of the car window and suddenly saw a familiar car and car plate.
The person sitting in the back seat was none other than Joseph!
That was the way to the airport. Could he have been heading there as well?
Lucille froze for a moment and immediately leaned back to prevent Joseph from seeing her.
Soon, the two cars got further and further away from each other.
The luxury car sped off into the distance. She couldn't even see the rear end of the car.
Lucille lowered her gaze.
At that moment, however, her phone rang.noveldrama
Lucille picked up. "Hello?"
The voice coming from the other end of the phone was trembling as if the person was filled with extreme fear. She cried and begged, "Is this Miss Jules? I'm Wayne's mother. I'm begging you, please convince Mr. Joseph to let my son go. I promise that such a thing will never happen again in the future. Please..." Wayne's mother?
The smile on Lucille's face didn't reach her eyes.
In the past, Wayne was the one who had taken the initiative to get revenge for Zoey, causing the original host to drown. Not only had the Carter family refused to admit their mistakes, but they had also used their power and influence to come up with a random excuse to bail Wayne out.
That day, Wayne had insulted Annabelle as well. After she taught him a lesson, she was locked up in jail by the Carter family. Even after she was put behind bars, the Carter family was planning to add a few
more false charges to send her to prison.
It had happened more than once.
How dare she ask them to let him go?
Lucille sneered. "I'm sorry, but I'm the type to hold grudges. I've never tried to kill someone with kindness. Instead, they should pay for what they've done."
After that, she hung up the phone and blocked that number.
Reveel My Whereabouts
2/2
Right then, there was still a long way to go until she reached the airport. On both sides of the wide highway, all the street lights were lit.
The evening sun was setting, and the streets were illuminated.
Lucille held her phone, feeling curious.
Although she had asked Joseph to help her deal with the Carter family, she didn't know what exactly he had done. Apparently, It was enough for Wayne's mother to call her and beg for mercy.
A thought flashed through Lucille's mind, but her phone rang again.
She looked down and saw that it was Joseph.
What a coincidence.
She was just about to call him.
As soon as Lucille picked up the phone, she heard his low and pleasant voice. It was like a mellow and melodious piece of music, tugging at her heartstrings.
"Bobo, I'm not going to be in Shein City for two days. Call me if you need anything. Also, don't let anyone bully you," he teased.
Lucille' fell silent.
He had called her Bobo. It seemed that he was getting closer and closer to her...
Lucille asked, "When are you coming back?"
If they were both going to be at the airport, she had to try her best to avoid him.
However, Joseph had clearly misunderstood.
He chuckled and replied in a lazy, relaxed tone, with a hint of mischief. "On Friday, probably. I'll definitely come back no matter what happens that day.
