Chapter 423
After she returned to bed, Ada stroked her belly with a cold expression
The next morning, she took her newest recording to Neil.
The moment she saw him, she went straight to the point and said, “Neil, I’d like to make a deal with you.
In Dewland, a huge cruise ship shone brightly on the huge ocean.
The cruise ship had a total of fifteen stories. The first three floors were where the employees ate and slept. The subsequent floors were made up of various entertainment facilities. There were bars, gyms, movie theaters, restaurants, water theme parks, and so on. It was one of the most luxurious cruise ships in the world.
Right then, there was a banquet on the twelfth floor. Aside from the servers who were weaving through the crowd, the others were all dressed in beautiful clothes and toasting each other.
Silvia needed to assassinate a government official known as Mike. He wore a black swallowtail coat, and he was talking to other government officials who had boarded the cruise ship with him.
The ship was surrounded by yachts that belonged to guests who were attending the party. As it sat at the center, it looked like the moon being surrounded by stars.
Once the sky started to turn dark, Silvia rode a yacht and approached the side of the cruise ship. Two crew members proceeded to step forward. One of them took her invitation card, and the other checked whether she had any banned items on her person.
After that, both of them gestured for her to go in.
Silvia smiled at them and went inside.
She took the elevator to the twelfth floor but did not enter the banquet hall. Instead, she entered the washroom beside it to retrieve the gun, phone, and earpiece that she had stored in the third cubicle’s flush tank.
Once she put the earpiece in her ears, she heard rustling sounds and Scorpion’s cold voice.” Can you hear me?”
Silvia tapped the earpiece and heard him say, “Mike is currently in the banquet hall. There will be a power shortage in ten minutes, but it’ll only last for thirty seconds. You have to kill him within those thirty seconds. I’ve stationed six of my subordinates in the hall. Once it’s over, they’ll escort you away.
She pressed down on the flush tank and walked out calmly. After she washed her hands, she touched up her lipstick before she entered the banquet hall.
Once she walked inside, Scorpion immediately told her where Mike was. Silvia
ked over in a seemingly casual fashion before she grabbed a drink and stood in a spot where it would be easy for her to shoot. She started to take occasional sips from her drink.
When Ryan and Marsh entered the banquet hall, Ryan immediately spotted her.
He frowned. Why was Silvia here?
Just as he was about to approach her, the lights in the hall suddenly went out. At the same time, a gunshot rang. The partygoers screamed in fright and started running around. They even knocked into Ryan several times.
Worried, he tried his best to head to Silvia, but as the people pushed and shoved him, he could not move forward.
Fortunately, the lights soon came back on, but a shrill voice rang out. “Mike’s dead!”
“Put the cruise ship under lock down!”
“The killer definitely hasn’t gone far! After them!”
After Silvia fired her shot, she quickly headed outside. However, she did not look for Scorpion’s underlings. Instead, she threw the earpiece into the ocean through the window. Then, she took the elevator to the top floor and headed to the deck.
News of Mike’s death had not spread, so it was still peaceful on the top floor.
However, the moment she stepped on the deck, she heard a menacing voice behind her.
“Where are you going, Iris?”
Silvia turned around to find Scorpion not far behind her. He pointed his gun between her eyebrows.
“You told me that once I finish this task, you’d let everything in the past slide,” she said with a cold gaze.
Scorpion sneered. “Did you really think I would let things slide after you killed so many friends?”
“So, what do you want?”
“I want you to pay with your life!”
While Scorpion spoke, he cocked his gun.

Silvia stared at him in dissatisfaction. “Are you sure you want to betray me? If the members of Full Moon learn about this, they won’t spare you.”
“As long as you die here tonight, no one will ever know about this!”
Then, he pulled the trigger.
Bang!
