Second Chances

Chapter 105 

Emma’s expression was tense. Suddenly, her expression changed drastically. It was bad. She let Liam go in first. Daley had to be lying in wait for Liam in the room right now. 

At that moment, Emma could not care less. She quickly put on a set of spare black clothes. She even wrapped her 

head and rushed into the villa. 

The villa was presently empty. Although the lights were on, it was too quiet. The lights at night seemed even more strange and terrifying. There was a faint smell of blood in the air. 

At this moment, Emma saw the servants and butler lying in the kitchen. ‘Liam!‘ she thought. She immediately 

became even more nervous. 

Liam had not made any sound since he entered. Emma wondered if something happened to him. 

Emma walked forward silently. She did not know that at that moment, Liam was watching everything in the villa on a screen. Like Emma, he sensed something was wrong when he reached the door. 

Therefore, Liam immediately went to Icovine Estate’s mysterious dark room, a place that even Emma did not know about. The only thing he didn’t expect was that Emma didn’t go to the car to get something. Therefore, the people he sent to protect Emma did not find her. 

As Liam was about to go out and look for Emma, he saw a fully armed person in black walk into the villa. 

“Mr. Hall, is this the person?” The moment Levi saw the “person in black” appeared, his hair stood on end. 

Liam said calmly, “No. That person has been sneaking into the villa. This is a newcomer.” 

Levi stared at the unrecognizable Emma in surprise. He did not recognize her at all. “Could he be an accomplice of the assassin?” 

A dark look flashed across Liam’s eyes. “Then we’ll catch them all.” 

At this moment, Emma did not know that everything about her was in Liam’s hands. 

Suddenly, Josiah’s reminder came from Emma’s earpiece. “Boss, there’s another system here. I can’t control it, but I can sense it. Boss, someone is watching you.” 

Emma was a little surprised that someone was spying on her. Icovine Estate had a few surveillance cameras, including the cameras on the nearby streets. She knew all of them. ‘There’s a surveillance video that Joshua couldn’t hack into? Who exactly is that person in control?‘ she thought. 

As Emma was beginning to suspect that Liam had a backup plan and was about to retreat, a ghostly figure suddenly appeared behind her. A léthal blade slashed toward Emma’s neck.

Emma dedged the fatal blow by reflex. Her expression was stern as she faced the enemy head–on. 

The other person fought with Emma for a bit and soon recognized her. “Emma” 

Emma was shocked. She didn’t recognize the voice. Even Liam would not be able to recognize her in her disguise. She didn’t know how Daley would know her true identity. 

Emma’s surprise did not affect her fight 

fighting. 

On the other hand, Daley did not continue to attack after recognizing her. Instead, he adopted a more conservative defense. 

Emma also changed her voice to a cold and elegant woman. “Icovine Estate’s defense is tighter than you think. Even if you are Daley Nash, you won’t be able to escape today.” 

Levi, who saw this scene on the surveillance camera, was even more confused. “Mr. Hall, aren’t they accomplices? Why are they fighting?” 

Liam did not answer this retarded question. He pressed a button. 

In an instant, a sharp alarm sounded throughout Icovine Estate. More than ten men in black suddenly entered through the door and windows. They surrounded Emma and Daley. 

Emma realized that the situation was out of control. She did not have any personal grudges with Daley, but if he wanted to make a move on Liam, she would attack him. But now, they had fallen into Liam’s hands. 

Liam slowly walked out of the dark room. Emma looked at his cold expression and panicked for the first time. She had already exposed her identity as Youth in public. Liam also knew that she was the top hacker, Stox. Now, her identity of the world’s first assassin was at risk. It was also Emma’s most mysterious identity. She could not let Liam know. 

“I’ll give you three seconds,” Liam said. “Who are you, and who sent you?” 

Liam’s words were very clear. He wanted them to tell the truth. Otherwise, they would be silenced. 

The Icovine Estate bodyguards surrounding them all held weapons aimed at them. 

Emma tried to escape. However, it was impossible to escape the ambush of ten people. She thought, ‘Do I have no choice but to be honest? Whether Liam accepts it or not… 

This was the first time Emma felt so conflicted, but she didn’t have much time left. 

Liam counted down, “Three, two, one…” 

“No.” When Liam counted down to the last second, Emma finally could not help but speak. 

However, at this moment, a bright light flashed. It was Daley. He carried a strengthened flash grenade with him and found the right time to throw it out when Emma spoke. 

In the blink of an eye, it gave the two of them a chance. 

Daley moved extremely fast. What was even more surprising was that when he fled, he grabbed Emma’s hand. 

Among the top ten assassins of the black market, Daley was second. His ability was speed. He appeared and disappeared unpredictably, was extremely fast, and caught people off guard. He would often complete assassinations when no one was paying attention. It was impossible to guard against him. This was also why he was seen as a thorn in the side by the world’s rich and powerful. 

The assassin ranked first was Phantom. Her ability was confusion. It was rumored that she could change in an Instant. She could make different sounds and disguise themselves as different people. She was a natural hunter. Her flawless disguise led her to be able to kill while their guard was down. 

and today, Emma had a taste of what it meant to be able to move and kill so quickly. That was a brief moment that words could not describe. In the blink of an eye, she was brought out of the villa by Daley. When Liam and the thers came out, Emma had already changed into her original clothes. © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

s for Daley, he had long disappeared. 

eam Thunder’s bodyguards said seriously, “Mr. Hall, do you want us to go and get him back?” 

ou can’t catch him,” Liam spoke calmly. 

this moment, Liam saw Emma stumbling over from the other end of the lawn. “Emma?” Liam’s tone changed ticeably when he saw her. 

am had sent people to look for Emma in the parking lot, but no one had seen her. He was worried. Now that he ww her coming over, he heaved a sigh of relief. 

re you alright?” Liam asked with concern. 

ust came back with it. I’ve been looking for it for a long time. I almost couldn’t find it.” Emma’s acting skills were -notch and she did not reveal anything at all. Suddenly, she looked around in confusion when she saw the merous bodyguards. “What’s wrong? Did something happen?”
