Chapter 13 The Final Struggle of the Cornered Beast

For Dennis, 4.5 million dollars was not even a drop in the bucket.

Marie replied [France Lyon, Dock 1 on the east coast, container number 226.]

[Thank you!] Dennis replied.

Even though it was a simple transaction where both money and goods were exchanged, Dennis’ “thank

you” suddenly reminded Marie of the time she fell from the second-floor window and was

caught securely by Dennis.

So, as if prompted by some mysterious force, they asked [Will you personally lead the team in

action?]

[Possibly] Dennis replied briefly.

[There are nine of them. Three snipers on the perimeter, four disguised as dock workers patrolling, and

two guarding the outside of the container] Marie said.

She knew all about Rodger Group’s modus operandi. It was a team of ten, and with Emory gone, there

were nine members left. She was well aware of Rodger Group’s combat capabilities and,

subconsciously, she didn’t want Dennis to get hurt.

Dennis gazed at the information on the screen, deep in thought. This didn’t seem like a killer who sold

information; rather, it resembled a sentimental woman.

[Thank you!] He slowly typed these two words.

“Mr. Whitney, we’ve found the location! It’s at a cyber cafe outside of Las Vegas High School!” Cullen

showed the tracking results to Dennis.

“Let’s go.” Dennis picked up his coat and headed for the door.

Internationally renowned as Ace Killer, it was said that she had received the most professional special

agent training. No one knew her appearance or background, and he was very curious about

what this Rose would look like.

Marie took care of everything and left the cyber cafe.

This is a hastily found cyber cafe near the high school where she studied. The sky is gradually

darkening, and she walks briskly. If she returns home too late, Mia and her mother will have

another reason to cause her trouble.

As Marie was about to reach the main street, a few oddly dressed young men approached and blocked

her way.

“Little sister? Where are you going?” A blond-haired man approached and asked.

Marie watched them cautiously and said, “How much do you want? I’ll pay.’

“We’re not short on money, we just want to chat with you,” the blond-haired man said with a sleazy

smile.

“Do you know who I am? I have as much money as you want!” Marie said, testing the waters.

“Of course I know who you are when I came looking for you, Ms. Marie of the Spence family. I heard

you’ve lost some weight and had some work done, just look at that radiant face of yours,” the blond-

haired man said as he reached out to touch her face.

Sure enough! A group of hooligans started causing trouble for her for no reason, not wanting money

but just the person.

“Who sent you, Carly? Whatever she’s paying, I can offer double,” Marie said, dodging the blond-haired

man’s hand with disdain.

“Enough talk, just drag her over here!” The blond-haired man, feeling embarrassed for being tricked,

angrily ordered the others to drag Marie into the alley.

A few young hooligans approached with sinister grins. Marie swiftly lifted her leg and kicked down a

man wearing a black hoodie. The man in the black hoodie quickly got up, fiercely slapped her across

the face, and yelled, “You damn woman! How dare you kick me! Just wait, I’ll make you pay for this!”

Seeing that no one had taken Marie away, the blond-haired man rushed forward, grabbed her by the

hair, and dragged her into the alley.

Marie cried out for help, but in the dead of night, not a single person passed through this remote alley.

She was dragged into the alley, and several hooligans rushed up to tear at her clothes. She was only

wearing a hooded sweatshirt today, revealing her fair and straight long legs, which had already caught

the attention of those hooligans.

A hooligan rushed over and grabbed Marie’s shirt. Marie quickly lowered her head and bit the

hooligan’s hand. The hooligan let out a miserable scream, and several people immediately came to

help. In the chaos, they pulled at Marie’s face and hair, even slapping her across the face.

However, Marie seemed to be immune to the pain. She just clenched her teeth tightly, like the final

struggle of a trapped beast.

She had no other choice. She wasn’t Rose, possessing extraordinary skills. She was just a high school

student with no ability to defend herself. If she let her guard down, these people wouldn’t

hesitate to tear her clothes off!

Ever since her rebirth, she had been living a smooth life, all because she was Rose, the one and only

Rose, whose name struck fear into the hearts of all assassins and mercenary forces!

She had undergone the most brutal training and the strictest education. Fluent in eight languages, she

could easily approach her target. Intelligent and powerful, she believed she could effortlessly secure a

place within the Spence family.

So, she successfully lost weight and managed to catch Asher’s attention. Everything went so smoothly,

even the recent move against Terry Group seemed to be going without a hitch.

So she forgot that in this wealthy family, where there isn’t much violence, there are countless ways to Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

deal with enemies besides engaging in intrigues and schemes, all without shedding a single drop

of blood.

Her rise had already become a thorn in the eyes of Mia and her daughter!
