Chapter 139: Chapter 138 Red Widow_l

Translator: 549690339

After walking out of the Water Pearl, Julius Reed sat alone by the roadside.

Elize Yarrow didn’t follow him out but stayed under the protection of Miguel Abbott.

He had to face the Leopold Family’s frenzied retaliation and the approaching Shadow Warriors.

Having Elize Yarrow by his side would only be a burden.

Tap! Tap! Tap!

At that moment, the sound of high heels clicked along the somewhat desolate street.

Because it was deep into the night and quieter, that sound was particularly grating.

Julius Reed looked up and saw a woman in red.

The woman wore a red dress and carried a handbag, walking with a seductive charm.

“Handsome, is this the Water Pearl?”

The woman stopped beside Julius Reed, but he didn’t answer her, instead turning back to gaze upon the deserted street.

The name Water Pearl spanned several dozen square meters.

Even someone with severe shortsightedness could see the sparkling sign at that moment.

Asking for directions for something so simple, there had to be an issue. “Handsome, wny CIO you nave to De like tmsg I’m just asking tor directions, no need to act all aloof!”

The woman’s tone carried a hint of resentment, clearly dissatisfied with Julius Reed’s silence.

But silence was still his only reply.

“Sigh.”

The woman sighed and sat down next to Julius Reed.

“Handsome, would you like to hear a story?”

She turned her head, holding a trace of desolation in her voice.

It even sounded like something one couldn’t refuse.

Julius Reed still didn’t respond, maintaining his silence.

“I was stolen away as a child and taken to an uninhabited place.”

Assuming Julius Reed had tacitly agreed, the woman began her soft-spoken tale: “There, many girls like me grew up and trained together, living happily.”

“But one day, the instructor responsible for our training told us, out of hundreds, only one would survive and leave.”

“Those who were once like sisters drew their weapons, slashing and killing their former companions in a frenzy, until in the end…”

At this point, her tone filled with sorrow, she looked at Julius Reed: “Until in the end, I was the only one standing amidst the bodies, shaking with fear…”

Silence fell over the street once again. “Red Widow, you shouldn’t have come.”

Julius Reed spoke for the first time.

As usual, he didn’t even turn his head to look at the woman beside him.

At his words, the woman visibly started.

Her previously relaxed body tensed up: “How do you know I’m the Red Widow?”

Before killing her target, she would habitually recount her own tragic story, then proceed to eliminate the target!

That way, no one who Imew her secret would remain alive.

“You lied! In that cruel slaughter, three survived, and you were not among them.”

Julius Reed looked towards the pitch-black woods and said slowly: “The last young man who broke into the base killed all the instructors who trained you, granting you freedom. Among countless corpses, he rescued you.”

“Who are you!”

The Red Widow, previously at ease, suddenly stood up, pulling a gun from her handbag.

“Why do you Imow all this!”

She was gravely injured in that massacre.

But a youth stormed the base alone, killing the instructors and discovering her, barely alive, among the heap of dead.

Since then, the Red Widow had lived under an alias, taking up the trade of killing.

Aside from the three surviving girls at the time, no one knew! Having one’s secret exposed felt like a sharp knife piercing her heart!

“Who I am, surely you aren’t unclear about that?”

Even with the gun pointed at him, Julius Reed remained sitting on the ground just as before, gazing towards the woods: “That young man once enabled you to live on joyfully, yet clearly you are not joyful. Go, I don’t want to kill you.” 𝐟reew𝗲b𝐧𝚘𝐯𝐞l.c𝚘m

In saying this, Julius Reed was still remarkably calm. Even from his tone, one could detect not a single ripple. “Who the hell are you!”

Red Widow, holding a dagger, bellowed furiously.

The entire street echoed back her voice.

Her secret was no longer a secret!

“Let’s go! I’m telling you one last time, be kind!”

Julius Reed sighed deeply, never once looking at Red Widow throughout.

When she heard the words “be kind,” it struck her like lightning.

That was exactly what the boy had said to her when he sent her away years ago!

Bang!

Just then, a dark flying dart shot out of the woods!

Almost instantly, Julius Reed instinctively leaped up from the ground and rolled behind a streetlamp!

The dart struck the ground, sparking in the pitch-black night.

Bang!

At the same time, the hesitant Red Widow threw her dagger!

Although it was only a dagger, her exquisite dart throwing technique silenced the woods completely.

“Give me an explanation!”

She turned to look at Julius Reed.

She had come to Five-river Province because the Leopold Family had commissioned her to kill a young man!

Because of a referral from an acquaintance, Red Widow didn’t hesitate at all.

She had come here, ready to kill!

But the conversation today had sent her back to ten years ago in an instant.

“I really don’t want to kill a person I once saved with my own hands,” he said.

For the first time, Julius Reed raised his head to look directly at Red Widow, a smile emerging at the corner of his mouth.

“It’s you!”

The Red Widow, who had weathered many storms, was so shocked she couldn’t speak at this moment.

The boy she had been searching for so long was right in front of her!

“Be careful!”

Julius Reed’s brow furrowed slightly as he rapidly threw a coin from his hand!

Clang!

A flash of cold light deviated briefly after hitting the coin.

Seizing the moment, Red Widow arched her body backwards, narrowly avoiding the attack.

“I’ll go kill him first!”

After a glance at the woods, Red Widow’s expression turned icy cold!

She sprinted, and after several groans from the woods, silence returned.

But everyone knew there were still people inside!

As Red Widow entered the woods, a flurry of combat noises erupted from within!

Before long, she walked out at a leisurely pace.

Her blood-red clothes were stained with a few drops of blood, and she was dragging a man along.

“Who sent you!”

Red Widow brought the man before Julius Reed and demanded.

“Bang!”

When the man didn’t answer, Red Widow kicked him in the knee!

“Ah! I’ll talk! It was Atlas Leopold, Young Master Leopold!”

Unable to bear the intense pain, the man confessed, “He told me to take out a man named Julius Reed! And he said, if you’re not up to it, you can take him down too!” “Very well! ” Bang!

After hearing this, Red Widow elbowed the man in the head.

“I’ll go settle scores with Atlas Leopold right now! But our business isn’t over yet!”

She glanced at Julius Reed standing under the streetlamp, then vanished on the spot.

“I will come back for you..”
