In a private villa.

Inside the bedroom.

Jade was lying on the sofa doing a face mask.

At this moment, there was a gentle knock on the door.

"Come in."

A man wearing a half mask walked in, respectfully nodding, "Miss, the task you assigned has been completed cleanly. Even if Miss Mi suspects you, there's no evidence to be found, let alone proof that you hired someone to kill."

Jade peeled off the mask on her face and smiled, "Well done. Next, I want to see how she will react. Will she go back to Raven Pavilion to report my misdeeds, or will she take a risk and come after me."

"However, she will never be able to return to Raven Pavilion in this lifetime. The pavilion master had already issued a death order long ago, forbidding Ella from setting foot in Raven Pavilion again. If she dares to come back, it will be a dead end for her. But she is not willing to let it go like this. She is probably trying to find ways to put me in a difficult situation,"

"Even if she relies on Freya and Bradley behind her, with the power of these two, they will not be a match for Raven Pavilion. If they dare to help Ella, they will end up buried with her."

Jade confidently played with her nails, believing that Ella would not give up easily, especially after the incident in the parking lot. She was not afraid of Reitaliation. As long as Ella dared to show up, she had means to deal with her. "So, Miss, what's your plan next?" Jade smirked and said, "I don't need to do anything, just wait." "Understood." As the man was about to leave, Jade stopped him and said, "Wait, I've changed my mind. Go inform Ella that I am about to inherit the position of the master of the pavilion. I believe she won't be able to resist coming to stop me." "Alright, Miss Ji." After the man left, Jade stood up and approached the mirror, gently touching her face.

Sure, a hint of a vicious smile curled up at the corner of his mouth.

Ella, oh Ella, if you want to challenge me, your cultivation level is still a bit lacking.

However, this time, I will definitely make you die with your heart and mouth closed.

As long as Ella dares to show up, and she creates a scene, please come out to witness her madness and killing personally, even if there is still a glimmer of hope for her from the master, it will be completely extinguished because of this.

Of course, this time she won't act stupidly on her own.

Using someone else to do the dirty work, isn't it even better to reap the benefits without getting your hands dirty?

...

Infirmary.

Taking advantage of the gap when Freya was helping Yolanda with her illness, Bradley went to the office to make a phone call.

"Now everything is in Shadow's hands, but she has not contacted me to negotiate terms. I am worried that she might really harm Matthew. Gabriel, release that sniper, perhaps we can use him to lure out Shadow."

I don't know what Gabriel said, but Bradley's face turned extremely ugly. He said in a deep voice, "Do as I say, don't let the tiger return to the mountain. How can we know where the enemy is hiding?"

Gabriel seemed to agree, and soon Bradley hung up the phone.

Bradley tightly clenched the phone, his knuckles white, and veins bulging.

His handsome face tensed, his dark eyes swirling like ink, as if dredged up from hell.

It seemed that this time, Shadow was prepared to risk everything and confront them to the end!

"Shadow!" Bradley's low, emotionless voice came.

Shadow appeared behind him, respectfully nodding, "What orders does the Young Master have?"

Because of Shadow's situation, Shadow had recently become quite haggard.

Shadow was his only sister, but now she had committed such a grave mistake, becoming a target for the dark web and the S organization. The most painful thing was undoubtedly for him. After all, blood is thicker than water, and whatever fate Shadow falls to, it is not what he wants to see.

"You have someone keep an eye on that sniper and report to me at any time!"

The sniper keeps his mouth shut tightly, obviously having a close relationship with Shadow. Otherwise, why would he be willing to risk his life for her?

Bradley believes that as long as he follows this person, he will definitely be able to find Shadow's hiding place!

"Yes!"

Shadow received the command, turned around to leave, but at this moment, Bradley stopped him.

"If you find it difficult, I will assign this task to someone else, no need to force yourself."

Shadow's footsteps paused, his fists clenched tightly, "If Shadow makes a mistake, it's all because of my inadequate guidance as her elder brother. I will personally bring her back to the organization, regardless of any punishment from the young master!"

After saying that, he lifted his heavy footsteps and walked away quickly!

Inside the office —

Freya and Shawn sat on the sofa.

"Rest assured, what is the situation with Yolanda's condition?"Shawn asked anxiously when Freya remained silent. After looking at the report, Freya said in a low voice, "Uncle Shawn , Yolanda's situation is not very optimistic. You need to be mentally prepared, as fainting episodes like Yolanda's may occur frequently in the future."Shawn shuddered at the news and asked in a trembling voice, "Are you saying that I can handle it?" Freya continued, "Yolanda's brain is experiencing failure, and she may experience fainting, memory loss, or confusion in the future. In severe cases, it could lead to cognitive impairment and ultimately... brain death." Seeing Shawn's worried expression, Freya paused and asked, "Are you okay, Uncle Shawn ?"Shawn waved his hand and signaled her to continue. Freya then mentioned that Old Mr. Austin had a Ella fainting episode previously, leading to organ failure. She found a common element in the blood of both Yolanda and Old Mr. Austin, and although the nature of this element is still unknown, it is believed to be the cause of organ failure. Freya explained that without removing this element, Yolanda might not survive another year given her current condition. Despite the grim outlook, she believed it was crucial for family members to know the full truth. As she hadn't developed a cure for organ failure yet, the uncertainty of when the patient's life might be at risk weighed heavily on her.

"Why is this happening?"Shawn really couldn't accept this fact. He was aware that Yolanda's condition was not good, and over the years, the renowned doctors they had consulted had already prepared them by saying that with such a condition, Yolanda might not live past five years. But now, five years had been shortened to just one year, how could he bear it!
