The Unveiling of Secret Queen

She didn’t show much emotion, simply spoke: ”He has always been like this. The high-minded image he portrayed before was just a tool for gaining fame. At heart, he’s a coward who fears death.”

Amadeus Yancey listened to her, then turned to look at the man on the ground who was squirming and struggling without any dignity, suddenly feeling Nathalie Quinlan’s description was quite accurate.

Nathan Garland is precisely the kind of person who fears death, otherwise he wouldn’t have arranged to meet these people so quickly.

After all, the people from K Organization are at least considered to be in cahoots with him!

...

Three green pickup trucks quickly surrounded their black SUV, and a dozen or so people came down from the vehicles.

Nathalie immediately spotted the leader with yellow hair, whose chicken nest hairstyle didn’t make him stand out among the strong men, making him seem even somewhat weak.

However, Nathalie could tell at a glance, he was the leader of these people!

She jumped out of the car, adjusted her duckbill cap upward, revealing a delicate and coldly enchanting face, and straightforwardly confronted the man with yellow hair: ”K Organization?”

”Ha.” The man with yellow hair was taken aback for a moment, then laughed: ”So you even know our background?”

But since Nathalie knew who they were, he felt even more at ease.

He walked over, crouched in front of Nathan Garland, lifted Garland’s filthy chin with his hand, and looked down: ”Isn’t this our dear employer? How did you get into such a mess? Spreading a scene like this really makes us look bad.”

”Um, mmm mmm!” Nathan Garland struggled even more forcefully, his eyes filled with excited bloodshot lines, seemingly pleading with the man with yellow hair to rescue him quickly.

However, the man with yellow hair mercilessly let go, stood up, and kicked him, then looked at the girl leaning against the car: ”We’re just doing the job for money, since you’ve captured our employer, why not kill him to vent your anger?”

Nathan Garland couldn’t believe his ears, his struggle lost intensity.

He couldn’t believe the people from K Organization were actually urging Nathalie to take his life. This was not at all what he had expected! Initially, he thought that the people from K Organization would surely try to rescue him from Nathalie’s grasp...

Nathalie glanced at Nathan Garland, whose face was ash-colored: ”I’m afraid to dirty my hands.”

The man with yellow hair nodded, showing deep agreement: ”I couldn’t agree more.”

He turned around, raised his hand, and ordered his subordinates beside him: ”What are you all standing around for? Hurry up and take care of this for Ms. Quinlan!”

”Yes.”

A strong man stepped forward, pulled out a silenced gun, and aimed at the man on the ground whose face changed drastically, firing a shot.

”Ah!” Nathan Garland was gagged, unable to make a sound.

He only felt a bullet hit his chest, blood rushing backward into his brain, intense pain and shock, regret and confusion flashing through his mind, his whole body started convulsing, and more than anything, he felt disbelief...

Clearly he was the employer, yet these people acted as assassins against him!

This wasn’t what was agreed upon.

They... weren’t they his people?

Yet all these questions came too late, he could only feel the blood rapidly leaving his body, as if all the blood in his veins was about to drain dry...

Nathan Garland slowly descended into darkness, filled with regret and unwillingness.

...

The man with yellow hair watched as the person laying in a pool of blood slowly closed his eyes; he unconcernedly shifted his line of sight to the girl’s cold eyes, smiled, and said: ”Ms. Quinlan, consider this our apology.”
