Chapter 5

Author: Sevie
Three years had passed, and the landscape of the underworld in the Amorias had changed.

The Gray family was on the decline. The once powerful Gray family, who could make the entire Las Vuntos tremble with just a flick of a finger, now seemed like an old, sluggish lion.

Ever since Jules ruined Night Owl, the family's sharpest weapon, for Gianna, no one in the Gray family had been able to take the head of an enemy single-handedly like Skylar.

Due to that, Jules had to step in himself.

"Don Gray, the goods in the east district have been stolen again."

"Don Gray, the dock in the south has been attacked. The enemy's firepower was too strong, and our people couldn't hold out..."

Bad news came one after another.

Gianna was getting even worse. She seemed completely oblivious to Jules' inability to cope, still living extravagantly and causing trouble everywhere.

Several families were constantly fighting each other. Amidst this chaos, a new mafia organization named Y rose suddenly on th

    Jules looked haggard like a ghost, with sunken eyes and disheveled stubble.Seeing Gianna being trampled underfoot, Jules fell to his knees on the ground with a thump. His knees crashed heavily onto the scattered glass all over the floor, and blood instantly stained his pants.Jules crawled toward me on his knees. "Skylar! Let her go! She's my only sister! Please, come at me! Kill me! Don't touch her!"It seemed he had not been doing well over the years. If it were the old him, he would have held a gun to my forehead and threatened me.Now… This scene was familiar. Three years ago, I had once looked at him the same way, expecting him to save me.I tilted my head and gently pressed my mechanical fingers against the trigger. "Jules, I used to dream that you'd plead for me and protect me like this."Jules trembled, unable to speak."But you said it was all for the family."I mimicked his tone from back then, "You said I would understand. It's my honor. You left me here for this lo

    After the auction was over, a heavy downpour started.I sat in the rear seat of the extended Rolls-Royce, looking out at the rain outside.Luke sat opposite me, wiping his surgical blade. He remarked, "This blade is dull. It's time for a new one.""Then change it. Out with the old, in with the new," I replied flatly.As soon as the convoy left the underground garage, it was suddenly blocked by a Maybach that charged head-on. It was Jules' car.The bodyguards immediately got out of the car, drawing their guns and aiming them at the Maybach.Jules pushed open the door and stumbled into the rain. He did not use an umbrella, so his expensive tailored suit was instantly soaked through. However, he still tried to keep his back straight and maintain his last shred of dignity.He knocked on the window. "Skylar, let's talk."Through the rain, his eyes were filled with earnestness. "Just five minutes."Luke glanced at me. "Should we ram through?" "No need." I rolled down the car windo

    Samuel walked over, reached out, and pinched my chin, forcing me to look up. "You didn't expect things to turn out this way when you killed my son, did you?" The surrounding thugs gathered around, while their lecherous gazes tore at my dress.My right hand was already numb from the pain, and blood dripped down the table edge, forming a pool on the floor. However, I could still feel my left hand.My left hand was quietly slipping into the folds of my skirt. There was a miniature C4 spiky explosive hidden there. This was my last insurance as a mercenary, and also my last shred of dignity.Jules thought I could not resist without a weapon? He was wrong. As Night Owl, I was a weapon myself."Tie her up. I'm going to have fun with her slowly." Samuel untied his belt with a disgusting grin.Two of his men held my shoulders and tried to drag me off the chair."Don't touch me!" I warned weakly yet hoarsely."Oh, you're tough." Samuel reached out to grab my hair.The moment his finger

    Samuel stared at Jules with a sinister look. "Don't think I don't know. This woman is incredibly skilled. If she fights back, my old bones won't be able to take it." "What do you want to do?" Jules asked. Samuel kicked the toolbox beside him and kicked out a heavy iron hammer from it. "Cripple her." Samuel pointed at my right hand. "That's the hand she handles guns with. I want you to smash her bones with your own hands. Make her unable to hold a gun for the rest of her life. Only then can I accept this 'apology.'"The air froze. Gianna hid in the corner, trembling as she stuck her head out and looked expectantly at Jules. I did not turn around but just stared at the gleaming dagger on the table. "Skylar." Jules' voice came from above my head, carrying a complexity of emotions that I did not understand. "Don't be afraid." He bent over and whispered in my ear. His warm breath was on my earlobe, but it made me feel bone-chillingly cold. "Members of Samuel's family like sad

    My fingertips trembled as I tapped the encrypted frequency that was firmly memorized in my mind. Just two beeps, and the call got through."I never expected you to contact me." A man's deep, resonant voice came through the receiver.The faint, chilling noise of a chainsaw cutting through bone could be heard in the background.Luke Chance was once the second-in-command of Night Owl Legion. He was also a deranged, unlicensed doctor who was internationally wanted for indulging in illegal live human modification.I looked into the mirror, saying quickly, "Jules is going to hand me over to Samuel. Find a way to rescue me."There was a brief silence on the other end, followed by the crisp sound of a surgical knife being thrown onto a metal tray.Luke laughed uncontrollably, his voice carrying a twisted joy."I told you that loser Jules isn't worthy of you. You disbanded the legion for him, even going so far as to cut ties with me..." I closed my eyes and clenched the cold communicat
