Chapter 154: Meeting Irene thomson
He shook both Rebecca and Vivian lightly. As soon as they woke, he covered both of their mouths to stop them from making any noise and whispered in a soft voice.
"Someone has intruded into the house. You two don’t make any sound from now on."
Then he removed his hands from their mouths. Vivian watched Jack about to leave and look for the intruder and said worriedly,
"I will come with you. We can deal with the threat together."
Jack shook his head in denial. "No, you have to stay close to Rebecca and protect her. I will take care of the matter outside."
After that, he jumped out of the open window in the room and closed it from the outside.
He reduced his presence, and his body moved swiftly like a shadow in the deep darkness of the night, following his instinct towards the direction of the intruder.
Irene, who was roaming inside the Sterling mansion, looked at the man who was guiding her towards the place where Rebecca’s bedroom was in the big mansion. She watched the man still hesitating and said,
"If you don’t give me the correct direction, everyone in your family will die."
The steward, who had worked more than twenty years in the Sterling mansion, trembled in fear after hearing her cold and threatening words.
In the large Sterling mansion, the room where the mistress of the house stayed was kept extremely secret and under tight security. So that assasination attempt like this will delayed and failed many times.
Even though the sterling family was reduced to this state now. In the past they had huge influence in the country. So the assasination attempts against the family members were normal at that time . So that this rule was followed for a long time in the sterling family and continued to this day.
Because of that, Irene took the whole family of the steward hostage.
The steward, who was struggling between loyalty and family affection while watching the video of his family tied up and kept in a rundown house that was played infront of him in Irene’s phone. he finally let family affection and blood relation win the struggle.
He pointed at the map that Irene was holding and pointed out the direction.
"This is the place where our mistress is staying tonight. From here on, you can go by yourself."
Irene looked at the middle-aged man who was standing before her. She took the short knife hidden under her thighs and shook it in front of the man who had just helped her find the target.
The middle-aged steward watched the terrifying woman smiling wickedly at him. Even though everything looked beautiful on the surface, he felt all the hair on his body stand straight, like it was facing some kind of ghost or monster.
"You... What are you trying to do? You already got what you want."
"The only thing I hate the most in my life is a piece of trash who can betray his master like you."
The steward looked at the unreasonable woman in front of him and said in a shaky voice that was trembling with fear.
"Are you insane? You were the one who kidnapped my family and forced me to betray."
"Tchh... so what if I threatened your family? Even if your family was threatened, you should have stayed loyal no matter what.
So stop putting the blame on me for your betrayal. I gave you the choice between your family or your master. But you chose to betray your master, who gave you everything, and chose your family.
You disloyal thing, you deserve to die."
The steward’s legs gave in from the heavy guilt he was feeling because of the betrayal. He knelt in front of Irene. His resistance to dying at that time completely stopped because of the guilt he felt.
Jack, who was hiding behind the tree, watched the beautiful woman in black clothes playing with and manipulating the man to his death.
What kind of devil is this? Thank God I came here today. Otherwise, Rebecca and Vivian would have faced a terrible death at this woman’s hand.
Jack had already thrown his huge concentrated pink mist ball at Irene and continued to watch the scene, waiting to intervene at the right moment.
Irene walked over and stood in front of the kneeling steward with the same smile on her face.
When her hand was about to slash the steward’s neck, suddenly an iron grip held back the force of her hand.
Her lips, which were upturned in a smile, slowly started to turn downward. She slowly turned her head back and looked to find the one who dared to stop her.
Only to find a young man standing behind her and smiling at her. She felt a great danger emanating from this man.
"Mmmhhhh... who are you?"
"Miss Irene, let me introduce myself. I’m Jack, the person who is backing Mayor Rebecca.
Can we discuss things amicably between us? There is no need for unnecessary bloodshed."
Irene, while silently listening to the speech of the unknown young man who had the audacity to block her even after knowing who she was,
She released her hand from his clutch with force and threw a kick towards his crotch, which was the body part he cared about the most.
Jack quickly distanced himself through his instinct. This woman... sighhh...
Before he could even relax, he received her attack on another vital spot where his heart was located.
He immediately blocked her attack with his hands, and every one of her attacks was continuously targeted at his vital spots. Every attack was aimed directly to end his life.
But Jack didn’t retaliate against her. He was fully in defense mode, continuing to dodge and block everything.
After some time, Irene suddenly stopped her attack, and she looked at the young man who had defending himself with ease from her attack.
Interesting, in this small place there is this kind of hidden expert. And he is very young. It seems true that one cannot judge a book by its cover.
Irene looked at him, and in her mind, curiosity about this person started to arise.
"Let’s see what you have up your sleeve to negotiate with me."
Jack, seeing that this devil-like woman was finally willing to speak with him and said,
"Miss Irene, follow me. We can discuss this inside the room."
