Chapter 626 Jane's Plan



Day Seventy...

~~*****~~

Hanabi was utterly shocked to learn that Jane had become an assassin, and not just any assassin, but the infamous Phantomflake. She had heard that name before, and Phantomflake's reputation had even reached Country J.

"I'm Black Rose, a hacker. Sis and I are both from Phantom Assassin Guild," Cherry also revealed her other identity. Jane and Cherry smiled at her. They could see the shock in Hanabi's eyes.

"You both came from the same assassin guild?!" Hanabi asked, her eyes blinking in a mixture of amusement and awe.

Jane and Cherry both nodded, confirming Hanabi's query. They couldn't help but giggle at her reaction.

"Now, we are truly sisters. No more secrets," Cherry chimed in with a cheerful tone.

Jane then continued, "I also told Tatsumi about my identity. And you were right. I'm the one who requested him to investigate the King Stallion Mafia and find the King. There is something I have to settle with him." Jane knew that the King Stallion Mafia was a powerful organization, and she needed allies who could assist her with her final mission.

"Damn, I didn't expect Tatsumi would find out your identity before me. I'm actually a bit jealous," Hanabi sighed with a pout. She couldn't help but feel a twinge of envy that had learned Jane's secret identity first. Hanabi had a competitive streak and often found herself in a friendly rivalry with Tatsumi in various aspects of their lives.

"Don't feel jealous, Hana. It's just so happened that Tatsumi met Jane first." Cherry tried to console her.

"Alright, I'm just being competitive. Anyway, I guess Tatsumi failed to get any clues. He even got cornered by the members of King Stallion and got shot. Fortunately, he managed to escape. However, the members of King Stallion are very persistent. They sent someone to catch him. I think she followed him all the way from Country R to Country M, determined to uncover the truth as to why this certain stupid guy was looking for their leader." Hanabi shrugged her shoulders at the thought of Tatsumi's strategy.

Then she turned to face Jane, her eyes filled with determination and sincerity. "If you need help, just tell me. I'm ready to assist you with everything I can."

"Nice. This will be a girl power! We are a trio now!" Cherry butted in enthusiastically. Her heart brimmed with excitement at the thought of taking on this mission together with her friends.

"Who is he?" Hanabi asked with intrigue.

"His name is Vincent. A businessman from Country R," Jane replied.

"Sis, are you going to make Helena jealous by approaching Vincent?" Cherry blurted out.

Hanabi's eyebrows twitched when she heard that name. Coincidentally, she met a woman named Helena. She accompanied Abigail when confronting that woman. She also happened to meet a guy named Vincent.

'Wait... are they referring to the same people?' Hanabi wondered to herself.

Jane nodded, confirming Cherry's assumption. "Yes, that's part of the plan. But there's more to it than just making Helena jealous. I suspect that Vincent holds information that could be crucial to our mission."

Hanabi's curiosity deepened as she connected the dots in her mind. "Is this the same Vincent and Helena from our recent encounters?"

Jane looked at Hanabi, her eyes narrowing slightly. "You've met them?"

Hanabi hesitated for a moment before nodding. "Yes, we crossed paths with Vincent and Helena recently. I accompanied Abigail to Vincent's place and met Helena. Are they the ones you're talking about?"

Jane's lips curled into a sly smile. "It seems like we're all heading in the same direction, then."

Jane, still puzzled, asked, "By the way, why did my sister go to Vincent's place? I've already told her to stay away from them. They are dangerous people."

Hanabi scratched her face and smiled sheepishly, "We confronted Helena. Then Abigail and I fought her. Your sister slapped her many times and pulled the bitch's hair. I helped her out. Fortunately, Vincent didn't do anything against us." Hanabi felt so proud as she told Jane what happened.

Jane: "..."

Jane was at a loss for words.

Cherry, on the other hand, couldn't help but chuckle at Hanabi's description of the encounter. "Abigail's definitely got some fight in her. I'm impressed."
