Chapter 440

After the meal, they sat together. Samantha asked, "Jeremiah, have you found out who is protecting Holden, the village head of Dungo Village?"

Everyone looked at Jeremiah. He had his arms around Yvette, who was busy doing the final test for the game. If all went well, the game developed by FastPulse Technologies would be launched next month. Lucy had been pushing for updates every day. Jeremiah looked up, his eyes gleaming with a sharp light. His demeanor was full of elegance as he replied in a low voice, "The person cooperating with South East Aploth is a deputy director from Normis Customs, who has already been dismissed. "According to his statement, Mr. Miller, a Clusian, is the person behind this. They've never met in person, only communicated through coded phone signals."

Andrew handed a peeled apple to Bonnie. "Jeremiah, can we replace out more about Mr. Miller? South East Aploth is a large area, and only knowing that he's a man isn't much to go on. Where do we even start?"

Andrew's point was valid, and Emmett, with a serious expression added, "Mr. Miller might very well be an alias, Jeremiah."

In these covert dealings, it was common for a person to go by several names.

Jeremiah said, "There's no one in the South East Aploth underworld known as Mr. Miller. The phone number linked to domestic contacts has been confirmed as an overseas virtual number."

Charles remained silent, his eyes thoughtful as he glanced at Yvette. He suddenly said, "What do you think, Yvette?"

Yvette put away her phone, turning her head slightly. Her delicate eyebrows lifted slightly, and her lashes lowered, hiding the emotions in her eyes, but a playful air lingered in her gaze.

She said, "Voraxia, being an ungoverned region, is the world's largest drug production and trafficking hub. It's also home to the most famous drug dealer, and its complex, ever-changing geography makes it a difficult place to control.

"There are over three thousand scattered villages, and Interpol has once joined forces with the governments of three local countries to launch crackdowns. Each major drug dealer in the area typically commands a small army-ranging from a hundred to over a thousand men.

"The entire region is involved in the drug trade, so Mr. Miller must need a large number of poisonous insects to control his subordinates. There's only one way of doing this..."

Jeremiah seamlessly took over, his voice low and steady. "Mr. Miller is a major drug dealer from Voraxia, and he uses poisonous insects to train his trusted followers."

Yvette raised her eyes, her gaze sharp like the stars, emitting a cold light that cut through the sky. Her voice was chilling "Didn't you already guess this?"

Jeremiah fixed his gaze on Yvette and his eyes shimmered faintly a fleeting smile passing through his eyes.

there ourselves." He gently squeezed her fingers. "I've already had people look into it. There's only one drug dealer surnamed Miller in Voraxia, but it is a woman, not a man. To get the full picture, we'll likely have to go

Emmett suddenly said, "Yvette's words just reminded me of something from three years ago. It's said that the king of Voraxia, the most famous drug dealer, Hadley Robinson, was killed by Interpol."

A few months ago, he and Jeremiah had met Yvette in Kransbay Back then, he thought it would be a long shot for Yveue to marry Jeremiah. Looking back now, though, he realized how wrong he was. Yvette and Jeremiah were truly a perfect match.

Charles's gaze grew darker at the mention of Voraxia. He had been there several times, accompanying Braydon to meet some of the local drug dealers

Andrew raised his eyebrows and curiously looked at Yvette who was lounging on the couch, and asked, "Aren't you part of Interpol, Yvette? Did you participate in the crackdown on Vorax? Was the king of Voraxia hard to capture?" Samantha, Emmett, Charles, and even Bonnie who was too surprised to eat apples, turned their attention to Yvette, intrigued by her response.

If it weren't for Andrew's reminder, they would have forgotten that Yvette was an agent of Interpol. However, it was hard to remember when she kept switching between countless identities

Yvette rested her chin on her hand, her eyes as clear as water and her expression remained calm. With a subtle raise of her eyebrows and a slight smile, she casually remarked, "I've been there. It wasn't hard to catch Hadley. Actually, I killed him."

The room fell into dead silence as soon as the words left her lips Bonnie, who had been holding an apple, suddenly dropped it without realizing it, her mind momentarily blank. She couldn't comprehend how powerful Yvette truly was,

She thought, 'Not only is she part of Interpol but she had also taken down the king of Voraxia, a scary man. And now Yvette is casually claiming that he killed him... Oh my, I'm shocked.'

Andrew, sitting next to Bonnie, was also stunned. He never imagined that a casual question would lead to such a surprise. He could already feel another moment coming where he had to bow down to Yvette.

Charles and Emmett exchanged glances before picking up their cups of tea and taking a sip, masking the stirrings in their hearts. They thought, 'Killing Hadley? Come on, he's the king of Voraxia, whose underlings were said to command armies of thousands. 'It was a feat that seemed beyond belief-unless it came from Yvette. Anyone else saying such a thing would sound like a madman.

Hearing that, Samantha stopped eating chips. She thought, 'How could the gap between people be so vast? Yvette was storming through Voraxia, taking down its king when she was eighteen, but what was I doing?

'Well, I, at that age, have been trying to make a name for myself in business. However, in comparison to Yvette, it felt like nothing

Jeremiah's eyes gleamed with admiration as he observed Yvette. His long brows, sharp and defined highlighted his deep-set eyes, while his thin lips, soft yet serene, curled into a faint smile.

He thought, 'She just turned eighteen three years ago, yet she had already killed Hadley. That's insane.

Yvette, sensing the weight of their reactions, said in a calm tone. For this trip to Voraxia, Charles and Emmett will accompany us."

At these words, the rest three of the group immediately protested in unison. "We're going too."

Bonnie, Samantha, and Andrew all shook their heads vigorously in protest. Samantha quickly swallowed the chips and looked at Yvette, her eyes wide with determination. "I'm going with you on this trip.

"I'm a Taekwondo black belt, and I'm pretty good with guns too. Don't worry, I won't be a burden. Please, let me go, Yvette. I really want to learn from you."

She clasped her hands together and blinked her eyes playfully, her face filled with a mix of pleading and excitement.

Bonnie chimed in, "I want to go too, Yve. After all, it's related to Dungo Village, and I'm a part of it. Please let me join you." Andrew added, "Yvette, wherever Bonnie goes, I'll go. Please let us come with you." 019

Chapter 440

Yvette lazily raised her head, her gaze cold and distant. Her voice, calm but firm, broke the silence. "Samantha can go with us, but Andrew and Bonnie stay."

Jeremiah nodded in agreement. He looked at Andrew and Bonne who seemed ready to protest and said with quiet finality. "You two stay in Seacrity. It's decided."

Andrew and Bonnie exchanged glances, then sighed. Since both vette and Jeremiah had made up their minds, there was nothing they could do.

In the end, the group heading to Voraxia was Yvette, Jeremiah, Samantha, Charles, and Emmett. They were scheduled to leave the day after tomorrow.

They returned to their bedrooms in the villa after their discussion. As Samantha passed by Andrew on her way to her room, she whispered something in his ear, and it cheered him up instantly.

Bonnie, who had been standing nearby, saw only Andrew's reaction. She blinked in confusion, wondering what had just happened between them.
