Chapter 150

While eating, Eileen noticed that Egbert seemed to be a bit distracted.

She asked, puzzled, “What’s up? You don’t like the food here?”

Egbert glanced at her, replying nonchalantly, “Nothing.”

Seeing Eileen chomping away at her meat, Egbert put down his fork and said helplessly, “Eat some

veggies, will ya?”

Eileen didn’t respond, continuing her carnivorous feast.

After finishing her meal, downing some soup, and devouring most of the fruit, Eileen finally felt full.

She leaned back in her chair, patting her belly, suddenly asking Egbert, “Why didn’t we eat at that other

joint? Nice vibe there.”

Egbert paused, casually responding, “We’ll go next time.”

Eileen scoffed, “And when exactly is next time? You’re leaving tomorrow.

Egbert looked at her, “You don’t want me to leave?”

Eileen blurted out, “Of course I don’t want you to leave! You’re the best damn chef!”

Egbert didn’t respond.

Eileen thought for a moment, then corrected herself, “Hot chef?”

Egbert was speechless.

Still mulling over, Eileen continued, “Chef…”

“Enough.”

Egbert cut her off, sighed, stood up and said, “Let’s get out of here.”

Seeing that Egbert was upset by her comments, Eileen quickly got up and left with him.

While they were in the car, Egbert’s phone rang again.

It was Gilbert Turner.

In the cramped car, the ringtone was a bit loud.

Gilbert’s voice was high, and he immediately asked, “Egbert, what happened? You said you’d be in

Harborview City for just a day, to meet with Eileen and visit an elder. Why the sudden change of

plans?”

Change of plans?

Eileen blinked, looking at Egbert.

Egbert put the phone to his ear, telling Gilbert, “Something came up.”

Gilbert probed, “What?”

Egbert didn’t answer.

After waiting a bit and not getting an answer, Gilbert sighed and asked, “So`how long are you planning

to delay? We’ve got interviews and endorsements lined up.”

Egbert paused, then threw out a timeframe, “One week.”

“One week?!” Gilbert exclaimed, “One week? No way, I can give you two days max…”

“I need one week.” Egbert cut him off coldly. Ignoring Gilbert’s protests, he hung up.

The car fell silent.

Eileen cautiously looked at Egbert, asking incredulously, “You’re really going to stay here for a week?”

Egbert glanced at her, “Didn’t you not want me to leave?”

Eileen shrugged, then asked, “… So, are you going to treat me to meals every day?”

Egbert glared at her, “No way!”

Eileen looked disappointed and didn’t say anything more.

But she wasn’t actually mad. Egbert had to change his plans last minute, he must’ve had something

important to do, so it was normal for him to not have time to treat her to meals.

They arrived at the TV station.

After Eileen got off, she immediately went upstairs to continue working.

After a day’s work, she returned to her hotel room in the evening, took a shower, sat on the bed,

thought for a long time, still feeling uneasy.

She took out her phone and started browsing the local news.

In the following time, there were no shootings or homicides in the area.

Eileen frowned. She remembered that at this time in her past life, she hadn’t met Nightking yet.

She was unsure why NightKing would come to Crestonia at this time.

She continued browsing the news on her phone for a while, and when it started to lag, Eileen

immediately stopped.

She skillfully rebooted her phone and cleared the memory. Her phone finally returned to normal.

Eileen sighed, saying, “Anyway, there’s no chance we’ll cross paths in this lifetime. I should stop

sticking my nose in things.”

Having seemingly convinced herself, she plugged in her phone to charge and went to sleep.

The next day, Eileen got up on time.

While getting ready to go to the TV station after breakfast, she bumped into Egbert in the hotel elevator.

Eileen knew Egbert was staying a floor above her. She greeted him, “What a coincidence.”

Egbert looked at her and said, “Your hair.”

Eileen looked at herself in the elevator mirror and found her hair a bit

messy.

She casually fixed her hair and noticed that Egbert had pressed the button for the basement floor.

The basement was the parking lot. Eileen was surprised and quickly asked Egbert, “Where are you off

to? Driving? Are you passing by the TV station? Maybe…”

“Give you a lift?” Egbert looked at her, then offered,

Eileen immediately agreed, “Okay, remember, you said it! No take-backs!!

Egbert helplessly fixed Eileen’s hair for her.

After a while, Egbert said, “Fine, I’ll give you a lift.”

Eileen was pleased, and soon, the elevator arrived at the basement level.

As soon as she stepped out, she started looking for Egbert’s car.

Just then, a gust of wind blew from behind.

Eileen instinctively turned around.

But the next second, her arm was grabbed.

Then, she was pulled into a familiar embrace.

It was Egbert who held her.

Before Eileen had time to think, she looked and saw a dagger where she had been standing.

Eileen started cursing, furious.

She broke free from Egbert’s grip, pushed him behind her, then rushed at the dagger-wielding man,

kicking at him.

The man was quick and blocked with his arm.

At the same time, he changed the direction of the dagger, aiming for Eileen’s side!

Eileen chopped at the man’s neck with her hand!

The man’s body went numb, losing strength, Eileen grabbed his dagger, then punched him in the face!

The dude obviously didn’t see that coming, her move was so quick and fierce.

After copping a punch in the face, he quickly backed off.

Eileen didn’t give him a chance, she went straight for a jab to his shoulder.

The guy winced in pain, and Eileen immediately yanked off his hood.

Underneath was a plain male face, a punch mark right on his nose bridge, his nose still bleeding, all

because of Eileen’s punch.

Realizing that his face was exposed, the guy tried to turn tail and run.

But Eileen wasn’t about to let him off the hook.

She delivered a side kick to the back of his head, then, while he was writhing in pain, elbowed him right

in the temple.

Two vital points hit in succession, the guy spat out a mouthful of blood and dropped to his knees,

staring at Eileen in terror.

Eileen grabbed him by the collar, but accidentally caught sight of the tattoo on his chest.

She froze, momentarily.

Egbert, not far away, also saw the tattoo, and he was just as stunned.

Eileen was livid, “You gotta be kidding me, a member of the Bloodbane Shadowsociety!”

As she spoke, Eileen grabbed the guy’s hair and landed another punch on his head.

She gave it everything she had, the guy couldn’t utter a word, his vision blurred and he passed out.

“Bloodbane Shadowsociety” was an assassin organization set up by NightKing.

Eileen never saw it coming, that NightKing would actually send someone to take her out.

Was it because she gave him an extra look outside the private room yesterday?

But it was his fault! Being on the world’s most wanted list, and yet not bother to change his appearance

when he goes out! He strolls around in public

and blames others for looking at him!.

Anyone who saw his face would be marked for death, she was now on his hit list, she was livid!

Eileen was shaking with rage.

She turned around and saw Egbert’s grim face.

She froze.

Instantly, she wasn’t angry anymore, she cautiously approached Egbert.

She gently reassured him, “Don’t be scared, I know you’re shocked, it’s okay, I’m here.”

With that, she gently patted Egbert’s shoulder, she didn’t dare use too much force, afraid to startle him

once more.

Egbert was lost for words.
