CHAPTER 601 SPIES

After some secret scheming, Ariella's face was pale and fine beads of sweat were running down her

forehead.

She sat on the sofa, panting and gasping for breath.

The cloaked man smiled lightly, "You really have planned it seamlessly."

Ariella was indifferent to the cloaked man's bragging, and even looked colder: "I don't understand what

exactly is your purpose?"

Although she did not know what the identity of the cloaked man was, she had a vague feeling that she

had been swept up in a great whirlwind.

And this whirlwind had been plotted in secret at her and Leo's wedding five years ago.

The cloaked man laughed, how could he tell Ariella the purpose?

He simply pursed his lips and said, "You don't need to know this, you just need to know one thing, if

you do as I say and work for me, you and your loved ones will not only be safe, you will get what you

want."

Ariella's eyes sank, she heard the subtext, if there were second thoughts, her life and that of her loved

ones would not be guaranteed.

"Of course, I tell you the secret of everything."

The cloaked man added, "Miss Spencer, with your ability and means, it is more than enough for you to Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

take up the position of 'Five Star Executive' in our organization, as long as you agree to work for the

organization, I can not only tell you the whole plan, but also assist you and become the king of the

Spencer family ---- As far as I know, the your position in the Spencer Clan is not that secure, and there

are many people who want you dead."

At these words, Nadine at the end trembled, with a surprising amount of heartfelt horror in her eyes.

Naturally, Ariella's face was slightly sunken; he had actually started recruiting her.

"I'm sorry, I'm not going to work with people like you, I may be ruthless but I have a bottom line."

Of course she knew the truth of what the cloaked man had said, money and power were everything,

but what really determined whether a family was strong or not was strength.

This cloaked man was so powerful that bringing down the nine royal clans would be effortless for him.

But even then, Ariella was still reluctant to join them.

The cloaked man didn't mind and said with a smile, "That's a pity, we are destined to be used only for

each other."

Ariella stared at him coldly, "I can be used by you, but, don't forget what you promised me, you can't

hurt Leo's life!"

"Sure."

The corners of the cloaked man's mouth beneath his black cloak slowly curved up in a bizarre curve.

He was smiling.

"He is a once-in-a-century 'vessel', so naturally I will not harm his life."

Nadine trembled even more, a feeling as if a hand had tightened its grip on her throat and she could

not even make a sound.

Only a 'Phantom' person knows what the word 'vessel' means.

"Goodbye then, Miss Spencer."

The cloaked man stood up and left.

The way he left was also frightening; instead of walking away, he went straight to the balcony, took a

long leap, and jumped off.

His pitch-black cloak stretched out like a huge ugly black bat, gliding across the night sky of Hopkins.

Once the cloaked man was gone, the oppressive atmosphere in the living room, too, only gradually

disappeared.

"I will take my leave."

Terry also left the area.

Ariella was exhausted and somewhat desperate as she clutched her head and pondered whether this

was right or wrong.

But snapping her head back up, she looked into the shadows of the room.

She sensed that there was one more person who had not gone.

Nadine stepped out of the shadows and just sat down opposite Ariella.

"Aren't you Leo’s former female bodyguard?"

Ariella said in amazement, her gaze astonished as she surveyed Nadine.

Ariella pursed her lips and did not deny it.

"Why did you betray him?"

Ariella's eyes were fixed on Nadine and she asked suspiciously.

Nadine was silent for a moment, her hands clutching a broken jade pendant.

After a long time, she finally raised her head and looked at her calmly, "Would you believe me if I said I

hadn't betrayed him?"

Ariella froze for a long time and then nodded, "Yes."

The words made Nadine's eyes soften slightly, full of goodwill.

She sat close to Ariella, making sure there were no bugs or monitors or anything else around her,

before lowering her voice and saying to Ariella, "I'm undercover, but it's hard for me alone to penetrate

the inside, I need your help."

After Ariella said this, Ariella's face changed and she scowled at Ariella like she had seen a ghost.

"You're ...... undercover?"

Ariella said in shock.

Ariella nodded solemnly and whispered in Ariella's ear the changes she had made herself in response

to the original plan.

As a professional assassin, Ariella was very adaptable to the situation and she clearly recognised the

fact that she was now in a real-life version of the Mission.

After a moment's hesitation, Ariella finally agreed.

"Thanks."

Nadine had just finished thanking her when suddenly her eyes flinched and she yelled, "Who is it?"

Ariella's eyes were clear and empty, was there a third person here besides her and Nadine?

Almost instantly, Ariella kicked open the hotel door with a tremendous force, causing the mechanical

door panel to split in two.

Outside the door, a pale figure stepped back extremely quickly, his eyes watching Nadine warily.

"Uncle Daniel?"

Ariella also followed him out to take a look, only to see that the person standing at the door was no

other than Ariella's personal bodyguard, Daniel.

Daniel did not speak, only his eyes were fixed on Nadine.

"Who are you? Why are you eavesdropping on us?"

Nadine's eyes were full of killing intent, and a short blade was already in her hand.

Daniel looked at Ariella with his face as usual, "Miss, just now I heard footsteps and thought someone

would be against you, so I followed out to take a look and sure enough I saw this woman."

Ariella breathed a sigh of relief, "She is one of our own."

She said to Nadine, "Go, don't let anyone find you out."

Ariella slowly withdrew her short blade and gave Daniel a deep look, and as she passed by Ariella, she

gave a special instruction, "Be careful of this old man, he's watching you."

Having said that, she left the hotel.

Once Nadine was gone, the pressure on Daniel's body suddenly disappeared and he quickly came to

Ariella's side and said anxiously, "Miss, what did she say to you?"

Although he had just posted himself outside the door panel and eavesdropped, he only heard a few

words as Nadine's voice was so low.

Hearing Daniel's probing words, Ariella smiled lightly, "She's a friend of an old friend of mine, and she

didn't say anything, just a whisper between girls."

"It's late, Uncle Daniel, I'm going to bed."

Ariella asked the waiter to change her room and went to bed.

Daniel stood for a long time, his pale gaze deep.

After a long time, he dialed an unknown number.

"She's already suspicious of me."
