Chapter 454

Eagle King nodded. "Yeah, I was with Yvette."

Jeremiah slowly turned away from the window, his gaze intense as he stared at Eagle King. He said in a low voice, "Did she kill Caleb?"

Emmett froze, suddenly piecing things together. There was a possibility behind Jeremiah's words that he hadn't considered before. He shot a look at Eagle King, whispering, "No way..."

But Emmett knew Jeremiah wouldn't speak like that without a reason. If Yvette really did take out Caleb, that was quite a twist. 'Could things be that coincidental? Do such events really align like that in real life?' he thought. Jeremiah had targets, and Yvette seemed to have already eliminated one for him. The way Caleb had died was still haunting; it was brutal-there wasn't a single good part left on his body.

Eagle King looked at Jeremiah and gulped, reluctantly nodding. He thought, 'Sorry, Yvette, but right now, my own survival mattered more. If I kept quiet about this, Mr. Chavez might end me here and now!

"Mr. Chavez," Eagle King replied, "Caleb Kerton was the jerk who kidnapped my girlfriend. Yvette got furious and wiped out the Kerton family."

Emmett stared at Eagle King, his lips twitching. 'Is he really saying this so casually? Now I've grasped how dangerous Yvette can be when she gets angry... he said to himself.

Just thinking about how Caleb must've suffered in his last moments was enough. Caleb's family wasn't just a few people

they were a whole clan.

When Emmett and Jeremiah arrived that day, it was like a scene from a horror movie, with bodies everywhere. Yvette must've taken out thousands of the Kerton family all by herself. Samantha and Charles exchanged glances, noticing Emmett's unease. They sensed the situation was far from simple, knowing Yvette probably did something unbelievable again. Samantha, curiosity tinged in her voice, asked Emmett, "Stop playing games! Who is this Caleb Kerton, anyway?"

Emmett's expression turned serious as he replied, "Caleb is a notorious drug lord from Voraxia. Most of his power was based in Kachin. He'd been ruling there for decades.

"We went after him for a case and tracked him down to Manchernia. We ran into Yvette in Kransbay and had no idea she was the one who took him out."

He paused and then continued, "We were supposed to take care of him that day, but when we got there, the entire Kerton family was already dead, and it was nothing short of gruesome." Samantha gasped, thinking, 'One girl taking on an entire drug family? In their territory? Epic!' A chill ran down her spine at how incredible that was.

Jeremiah turned calmly, looking out the window, his eyes deep in thought. He had guessed it was Yvette who did it because when he had entered Caleb's room, he noticed a faint scent of sweetness in the air. It was a smell that belonged to her, and Eagle King's words confirmed that his hunch was spot on.

The next morning at the villa, Rory sat at the dining table, waiting for the servants to bring Yvette over for breakfast. She had dressed up extra nice today, having put some effort into her hair.

One of the servants walked-in, shaking a bit, and bent over to Rory. "Ma'am, Ms. Zeller said she doesn't want breakfast.

The servant knew Rory's temper all too well. If things didn't go her way, they'd end up dealing with her pets when she got mad. She had seen some servants hurled straight into the snake bit, with no trace left behind.

As expected, when Rory heard Yvette wasn't coming to eat, she immediately threw her knife and fork to the ground, her eyes sharp. "Did you guys upset her?"

The servant hurriedly knelt down, trembling all over, "Ma'am, we would never dare to upset your guest! We really didn't mean to!" She was too frightened to lift her head.

After a moment, Rory put away her fierce expression and stood up. "I'll go myself."

The servant scrambled to her feet, shock written all over her face. She thought, "The woman named Yvette is the first person Ms. Miller personally goes to invite. Who is she?

'The villa often hosts big shots, but Ms. Miller has never treated anyone with this much importance before!

As Rory reached the door, she ran into Yvette. Her eyes lit up. "Is the food not to your taste? What do you like to eat? I can have the staff whip something up."

Yvette, with her hands in her pockets and her bright eyes devoid of warmth, replied coolly, "I've already eaten." Seeing Yvette's icy demeanor only fueled Rory's frustration. "Already eaten? Well, come with me to a special place." Yvette raised an eyebrow, her lazy air only adding to her overwhelming presence. "Where to?"

Rory glanced at her. "I'm taking you to check out the underground auction here in Fhongsoly. Bet you haven't seen anything like it before."

In Rory's mind, Holden's niece surely hadn't experienced anything extraordinary, especially not a huge underground auction like this.

Yvette's profound gaze flickered slightly. She nodded, her voice as cold as ever. "Sounds good."

With Yvette's agreement, Rory decided not to say anything else. If Yvette realized her own power, she'd be more than willing to stick around.

At 1 PM, Rory set off with Yvette and a whole convoy of five or six cars to the biggest underground auction in Kachin.

Although it was called an underground auction, it was pretty much out in the open. Not only could items be auctioned, but people and rare beasts could be auctioned as well.

There was always something unexpected up for bids. Once, a rich guy from Mysonna even auctioned off his family members just to get cash for drugs.

In the car, Rory glanced over at Yvette, who was busy fiddling with her phone. Feeling a bit annoyed, she said, "You're Holden's niece and from Dungo Village, right? You should know how to make poisonous insects"

Yvette rested her chin on her hand, sending a text to Jeremiah about where she was headed. Then she looked distant, cold expression, arching her finely shaped brow. "Nope.

Rory was taken aback 'How could she not know how to make poisonous insects?' she wondered.

Before she could respond, Yvette's stunning face slowly broke into a dangerous, enchanting smile. She said seriously, "But I got lucky-I found a 'poisonous insect king"

Rory scoffed, "Yvette, do you seriously expect me to believe that

"I've done business with your uncle for years. I know a thing or two about 'poisonous insects, and a 'poisonous insect King is just a myth. Your uncle said no one can actually produce one. Why are you trying to fool me?" Yvette smirked lightly, calm and collected. "If you don't believe me, that's up to you?

Rory was getting close to losing her temper with Yvette's attitude Is she seriously treating me like an idiot?' she thought. Fearing more of their back-and-forth would give her an aneury, Rory just fell silent. Chapter 454
