Lord Death Is Now Back Home by Chris

Chapter 1257: Assassin Alliance

Chris Shelby said calmly, "Dear, if I'm not mistaken, that person just now wasn't your aunt. She was an assassin! She disguised herself as your aunt to try to kill us! This assassin is highly skilled in disguise and makeup. If we're not careful, she could easily assassinate us. I wonder who sent such a top-tier assassin?"

An assassin's strength isn't just in their combat skills; their ability to disguise is also crucial. Many skilled assassins can disguise themselves as anyone around you and strike when you least expect it. If Chris Shelby hadn't seen through the assassin's identity today, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

Thinking about this, Chris Shelby's face darkened. He didn't know what the assassin would disguise herself as next time. With such a master of disguise around, it was impossible to be fully prepared. Chris Shelby wasn't worried about himself-trying to kill him was a joke! But Esther was just an ordinary person and couldn't see through the assassin's disguises. If she got close, it would be over.

"An assassin?" Esther exclaimed in shock.

Chris Shelby said seriously, "Yes! Esther, you must be very careful during this time! This assassin is good at disguising; I don't know who she'll disguise herself as next."

Esther nodded vigorously, "Dear, I understand!"

Facing one assassin after another, Esther had already gotten used to it. No matter what kind of assassin showed up, Chris Shelby always took care of it, so she never worried. Besides, Esther knew that a super cultivator named Shadow was secretly protecting her. With Shadow around, her safety was generally assured. However, Shadow wouldn't show up unless it was a life-or-death situation; under normal circumstances, Esther couldn't see him at all.

Chris Shelby looked at Tiger and said, "Tiger, strengthen the security around Esther during this period!"

"Yes!" Tiger nodded and immediately went out to enhance the security for Esther and the villa.

Chris Shelby looked at everyone and said, "It's getting late; everyone should go back and rest!"

Hearing this, Harold Jefferson and others left. Chris Shelby walked out of the room and went to the villa's hall to make a phone call.

"Lynx, how's the investigation on the assassin going?"

"Boss, I was about to call you."

"So you've found information on this assassin?" Chris Shelby asked in surprise.

"Yes!" Lynx nodded. "Boss, this assassin is well-hidden, but after some investigation by the Springfield Crew, we finally found out her identity."

Chris Shelby hurriedly asked, "Lynx, what did you find out?"

Lynx replied, "Boss, according to my investigation, this time the assassin isn't from the International Assassin Alliance but from another organization called Assassin Alliance!" "Assassin Alliance?" Chris Shelby frowned upon hearing this.

Lynx explained, "Boss, Assassin Alliance is a top domestic assassin organization. A few days ago, someone suddenly offered a billion-dollar bounty through Assassin Alliance to kill you and your wife!" "And this time Assassin Alliance sent one of their top ten assassins with the codename Fantom! Fantom is not only powerful but also very skilled in disguise and makeup."

After hearing this, Chris Shelby

showed a strange expression. He had heard of both Assassin Alliance and Fantom. Assassin Alliance was the number one domestic assassin organization. Fantom was famously known within Assassin Alliance for his high-level disguise

skills-allegedly able to transform into anyone.

Chris Shelby had once read Fantom's profile; his most famous assassination was killing a small country's king by disguising himself as the king's wife and slitting his throat while in bed. Since then, Fantom had become infamous.

Many people weren't afraid of Fantom's combat skills but were terrified of his unpredictable disguises!

Lynx asked, "Boss, although Fantom isn't as strong as you are, his disguise skills are exceptional. Should I take action to eliminate her?"© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

Chris Shelby shook his head. "No need! Fantom alone isn't my match. Investigate who put up that billion-dollar bounty for me and Esther through Assassin Alliance. Report back immediately once you find out!" "Understood!" Lynx hung up without wasting any time.

"No matter who you are or how well

you hide! I'll find you!" Hanging up the phone, Chris Shelby exuded a terrifying killing intent. The two consecutive assassination attem had thoroughly enraged him. He wouldn't rest until he found the mastermind behind them,

Fantom's disguise skills were indeed impressive. If Chris Shelby hadn't trained himself to see through such tricks long ago, he might have been fooled today. Although Fantom's disguises were excellent, they weren't perfect-at least not in Chris Shelby's eyes. While Fantom could

mimic someone's a ne

to their height accurately enough to fool most people, he couldn't

replicate their unique aura or presence.

The next morning.

Because it was the weekend, neither Esther nor Juliette went to work. After freshening up, Chris Shelby went to the living room for breakfast.

After breakfast, May-the maid who worked at the villa-approached them hesitantly.

"Mr. Shelby," May began cautiously. "I have a favor to ask; I hope it's not too much trouble."

Esther smiled warmly. "May, just tell us what's on your mind."

May looked embarrassed but continued, "My daughter will be on break from university in a few days and wants to come here to East Coast. Could she stay here for a few days?"

Esther replied nonchalantly, "Why not? This villa is big with plenty of rooms; one more person won't make a difference."

Seeing Esther agree so readily made May very grateful. "Thank you!"

Chris Shelby couldn't help but feel slightly exasperated. The villa already housed three women-Esther, Juliette, Susan-and adding Hope made four women altogether. Now with May's daughter coming too, Cloud Bay would soon resemble an all-women's kingdom.

Chris Shelby turned to Esther and Juliette and suggested with a smile: "Since it's the weekend today, why don't we go out shopping?"
