Chapter 239 Victory
In the blink of an eye, Hawkeye unleashed his full power.
The chilling intent to kill seemed as though it would freeze the very air of the room into ice.
Yelena’s face turned slightly pale. With a swift shift of her gaze, she suddenly picked up a cup from the
table and hurled it toward Hawkeye. Hawkeye casily dodged, causing the teacup to smash against the
door of the private room. Unbeknownst to him, that was exactly what Yelena had intended.
Crack!
When Yelena entered, she didn’t bother to lock the door behind her. Thus, after the cup smashed
against the door panel, within the next second, a young man pushed the door open and walked in.
He entered the room and closed the door.
Emrys didn’t utter a word. He simply walked over and sat down on the couch, seemingly oblivious to
the presence of the two people.
“Were you the one who assisted Nightrose?” Hawkeye’s gaze hardened, watching with unusual
vigilance the strange young man who had suddenly walked in without uttering a word.
Only then did Emrys speak up. “You carry on with your fight, don’t mind me.”
Hawkeye’s professional instinct informed him that the young man before him was likely a cultivator as
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtwell, the one who had introduced Yelena to that path.
That was indeed very unfortunate.
“Nightrose, you betrayed the organization. There will absolutely be no good end for you!” With a cold
shout, Hawkeye seemed ready to launch another attack.
However, after taking two steps forward, he suddenly turned around, cursing inwardly, D*mn, two
cultivators!
He wanted to storm out of the door.
However, in that split second, the man known as Hawkeye was suddenly struck with a powerful blow.
With a thunderous crash, the terrifying force shattered his insides and then slammed him hard against
the door. He was left breathless.
Emrys shook his head and said, “I originally wanted you to practice with Lena, but who knew you’d turn
out to be so incompetent?”
Yelena stepped forward, gently removing the Hawkeye’s mask. Her beautiful eyes slightly narrowed. “I
didn’t expect it to be him.”
“Lena, do you know this person?” Seeing that Yelena seemed somewhat surprised, Emrys asked
curiously.
Yelena nodded and said, “I knew him. We used to be business partners. I even had drinks with him. He

was always a cheerful person, very warm–hearted. That’s why I was surprised when I unmasked him
just now because I really couldn’t connect these two identities.”
Emrys said, “Isn’t it the same for you, Lena? I bet no one would ever dream that the charming and
captivating Rose Queen would actually be the cold–faced assassin, Nightrose.”
That was truly the terrifying aspect of Shadow Garden.
One would never know if the person beside you, always full of smiles and positivity, could be a
concealed assassin. Just like everyone had a dark side, sometimes, the brighter a person appeared on
the surface, the greater their inner darkness was.
The existence of Shadow Garden served to magnify the darkest aspects of those individuals. They
believed that donning a mask gave them the license to act without restraint.
That was a very terrifying event.
Yelena brushed aside the strands of hair that had fallen over her temples, smiling as she said, “From
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmnow on, I am just Yelena, no longer Nightrose.”
Emrys nodded, then curiously asked, “Lena, can you now tell me why you decided to join this assassin.
organization?”
After a moment of contemplation, Yelena said, “Actually, this has something to do with my background.”
“Background?” Emrys was puzzled.
“For all these years, I have been investigating my own origins, but to no avail. The only memory I have
is of Shadow Garden. Thus, when Hawkeye appeared before me, proposing that I join their ranks, I
immediately felt a sense of familiarity with the name Shadow Garden. It seemed as though I had heard
it somewhere before. I thought that by joining Shadow Garden, I might be able to uncover some clues.
However, once I truly entered Shadow Garden, I realized how difficult it was to conduct an
investigation. This was because everyone inside used aliases. Trying to trace anything back was as
difficult as scaling the heavens. Since no clues could be found, my stay in Shadow Garden had little
significance. However, it’s easy to join an assassin organization but difficult to leave. I had told
Hawkeye more than once that I wanted to quit, but this bastard actually threatened me, saying that if I
left, he would expose my identity.”
