Chapter 863 The Last Mission: Farewell Comrades
Day Ninety…
At Syphiruz Mafia Headquarters
Joker had been surrounded by his comrades– Chantha, Violet, Axel, and Spider. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
"How could you do this, Joker? Betraying our Supreme Leader. Do you wanna die?" Chantha grabbed him by his collar.
Joker looked down guiltily. "I know that what I did was unforgivable. I let our Supreme Leader down. But I need to be a man of my word. I was indebted to the Leader of the King Stallion Mafia. He saved my life and the woman I loved. This was my way of returning the favor to him."
"I'll accept your punishment." Joker accepted his fate. He had become a traitor so it was just natural to receive a heavy punishment from the team.
"Let's wait for our Supreme Leader's decision," Violet suggested. She was saddened by this. Joker was a good comrade. They never expected his betrayal.
Spider shook his head in disappointment. Joker was like a brother to him. He still couldn't believe that he would deceive their leader.
"I'm sorry, Buddy. But I can't defend you. You committed a crime against our organization." Spider held Joker's shoulders tightly as he stood behind him.
Axel was just listening to them when he received a message from Nathan. He was taken aback for a moment after reading the content of his message.
"Our Supreme Leader gave me instructions. He wanted me to release Black Rose right now." Axel informed his comrades.
"Eh?! Why would he do that?" Violet asked.
Axel paused for a moment, staring at them.
"According to our Supreme Leader, Phantomflake and Black Rose are not our enemies."
"I agree that she is not our enemy. Imagine. During her escape, she didn't kill any members of our organization. She only knocked them unconscious. Haha Including Axel!" Chantha blurted out, teasing Axel again.
Their comrades also laughed at her remarks. They didn't expect that Phantomflake could easily knock down Axel.
But Axel just glared at them before continuing his words. "And… Phantomflake turns out to be… young master Ethan's biological mother."
Chantha: "Holy Shit!"
Violet: "..."
Spider: "For real?"
Joker: "Damn! I can't believe it."
Everyone had a shocked look on their faces.
"Yes. It's real. And… the 'Monica' who died… is also fake. She's Helena Carlsen." "Furthermore, the mastermind is none other than… the Leader of the King Stallion Mafia, who is our Supreme Leader's half-brother!" Axel gave them one revelation after another.
Everyone: "..."
"Oh my! This is truly unexpected!" Chantha gasped.
Knock! Knock!
Their conversation was interrupted by the knocking sound of the door.
"Sir Axel! Phantomflake is here. And she wants to see you."
The room was engulfed by a deafening silence as Jane entered the room. The Branch Leaders of the Syphiruz Mafia were looking at her with different expressions.
Everyone was thinking the same thing: 'Since she is Ethan's mother, does that mean their Supreme Leader and Phantomflake have a thing for each other? Do we need to call her Boss?'
"Hey, guys. Don't look at me like that. I came here to fetch my friend, Black Rose." Jane spoke up, breaking the awkward atmosphere. She also smiled at them, talking to them in a friendly manner.
Chantha reacted first, approaching Jane. "Come, Phantomflake. I'll escort you to her cell!"
Spider leaned to Violet and whispered, "Is she not jealous of Phantomflake? I thought she liked our Supreme Leader?"
Violet shrugged her shoulders and replied back, "I don't know. But I think my twin sister is idolizing Phantomflake. Her reaction is very different from her first meeting with Monica."
Jane and Chantha headed to the prison cell. Axel also followed them from behind. He was nervous, afraid that Jane would tell Chantha anything about his hidden feelings.
It did not take long before they released Black Rose. She immediately hugged Jane.
"Sis, I thought you escaped. Why did you return?" Black Rose asked her in confusion.
"I'm taking you with me. Syphiruz will no longer doubt us." Jane reassured her. "They are our ally," she added.
"Yes, that's true! So I want to be friends with both of you. Can I do that?" Chantha asked them expectantly.
"Yes, of course! We are friends now!" Jane promptly responded.
Axel couldn't believe that Chantha and Jane would get along well so easily.
"Axel, why are you here? This is girls' bonding. You should leave!" Chantha urged Axel to leave.
But Axel stayed there, ignoring Chantha's words.
"By the way, since the four of us are here, there is something I want to tell you. I'm gonna need your help." Jane looked at them seriously.
Chantha's eyes lit up, feeling excited. "Is this a mission? Count me in!"
"Just tell me, Sis. I will always cooperate," Black Rose also replied.
"How about you, Axel? Do you want to be involved in this mission?" Jane asked.
Axel contemplated for a moment. Then he glanced at Chantha who appeared to be excited.
"Yes. I want to join." Axel gave her an answer.
Jane's lips curled up in a satisfied smile.
"Nice. So this is my plan." Jane told them what they needed to do. She only shared the information with the three of them. She was confident that her plan would succeed with the help of Axel, Chantha, and Black Rose.
"Did you inform our Supreme Leader about this?" Axel asked Jane after hearing all her instructions.
Jane shook her head. "No. He has a lot in mind right now. I want him to relax, hoping he will accept everything little by little. As of now, he is still in denial."
Chantha and Axel understood her. She had a point. Their Supreme Leader might be confused right now.
"By the way, Black Rose and I must leave now. We are going to visit our assassin guild. They might be worrying about us already." Jane said goodbye to Chantha and Axel.
Jane and Black Rose left the Syphiruz Mafia together. As they were on their way to the new hideout, Jane explained everything to Black Rose.
"Sis. I am really surprised that you have a son with the leader of the Syphiruz Mafia. Do you love him?"
"Yes, Black Rose… I love this man so much. He is the reason why I'm here, fighting for him. I will protect them… and we will live together as one family."
Black Rose nodded with a smile. "I will always support you, Sis. I wish you to be happy. But I wonder… are you going to retire as an assassin?"
Jane bobbed her head. "Yes. I'm leaving our guild. That's why I'm going to meet them now. If I want to live peacefully with my family, I can't stay as the leader of the Phantom Assassin Guild."
"Furthermore, I want to thank Mrs. Frost for raising me and taking care of me… I owed her my life. I hope she will understand my decision."
Black Rose patted Jane's shoulder. "Don't worry, Sis. Mrs. Frost loves you a lot and she treats you like her own daughter. I guess she will understand your decision to leave the assassin guild."
A few minutes later…
Jane and Black Rose arrived at their new hideout. The ladies happily welcomed them. All members were present including their founder, Mrs. Frost.
The Phantom Assassin Guild has twenty members, along with the Lady Commanders– Iron Lady and Mystique.
"You've made us worried! We've been looking for both of you!" Mystique pinched Jane and Black Rose on their cheeks.
"What happened?" Iron Lady asked them.
"Sisters! It's a long story!" Black Rose replied.
"Tell us everything!" Mrs. Frost demanded. She couldn't sleep because of these two. They had been missing for two days and they didn't know what happened to them.
Jane told them everything, most importantly her connection to Nathan, the Supreme Leader of the Syphiruz Mafia. The ladies were surprised to hear her story. They couldn't believe that their leader had a son and she had fallen in love with someone.
"In connection to that, I am here to tell you that I'm leaving the assassin guild for good. You have to choose your new leader between Mystique and Iron Lady."
Everyone was saddened when they heard that. They didn't know what to say. At first, they were reluctant to accept this. They didn't want Phantomflake to leave.
"I'm so sorry if I have to leave you. But I hope you will understand me. You are my family… and I love each and every one of you. You are my sisters, my comrades, and my friends. I will never forget our bonds…"
Everyone was not used to Jane being so sentimental like this. Her aura was very different from her usual self. But they could feel her sincerity in her every word.
No one dared to speak up so Mrs Frost stepped forward. She was the founder and the eldest member of this assassin guild. She hugged Jane tightly and said, "If that is your decision, my dear daughter… then I have no right to stop you. You can have your freedom and live your life according to your heart's desire. But always, remember, that you are always part of this guild… forever."
Mrs. Frost's words brought tears to their eyes. It was sad to say goodbye to Phantomflake. However, they had no choice but to respect her decision.
"Mother! Can I stay with my sis?! I want to follow her!" Black Rose also expressed her desire to be with Jane.
"What do you mean by that?" Iron Lady asked her in confusion.
"I'm leaving the organization too," Black Rose informed them.
"Sigh! What a shame! We are losing two capable ladies." Mystique couldn't hide her disappointment.
