Defying Fate: The Unstoppable Eileen novel Chapter 151

They gotta deal with the guy who just passed out on the floor as fast as possible.

Eileen immediately took out her phone, ready to ring up the cops.

While she was at it, she figured she might as well report on seeing NightKing.

The guy was not only a murderer, but he seemed to think killing was just a casual hobby.

Did he think this was some sort of lawless playground? Well, he's in for a rude awakening!

Eileen was already scheming up a revenge plan in her head!

She eagerly took out her phone, only to find it was on the fritz again.

Quietly, she put her phone back into her pocket. Eileen had no choice but to ask Egbert, who was standing nearby, for help: "I need to use your phone, I gotta call the cops…"

Egbert just silently looked at her, and after a moment, he took out his phone and made a call.

Eileen stretched out her hand, "Let me do the talking."

She was worried that Egbert wouldn't be able to explain the situation accurately to the police. After all, Egbert was clueless, he was just an innocent bystander.

Egbert didn't call the police though, instead, he called the military district of Harborview City.

An hour later, Eileen was sitting quietly in a hotel room, hugging a pillow.

In front of her, stood several armed soldiers.

Eileen looked fearfully at the soldiers, then at Egbert, who was having a conversation with the military leader.

She opened her mouth, wanting to call out to Egbert.

Egbert saw her. After he said a few words to the leader, he came over and sat next to Eileen.

Eileen leaned towards Egbert, then gingerly said to the soldiers, "I acted in self-defence, the guy isn't dead…"

The military leader looked very stern. He was very tall, and had a scar on his face.

He sat across from Eileen, trying his best to look approachable, but the sharpness in his eyes still made him intimidating.

"Do you know about Bloodbane Shadowsociety?" he asked.

Eileen couldn't tell them she knew about the organization, and she certainly couldn't tell them about her kidnapping at twenty, her unexpected rescue by the leader of the Bloodbane Shadowsociety, how he became her mentor, taught her shooting, fighting, and how he tried to lure her into crime! But she resolutely refused! She was always a good, law-abiding citizen!

After a long pause, Eileen knew she couldn't tell the truth.

All she could tell them was, "I've heard of the Bloodbane Shadowsociety. Seems like they're a criminal organization operating between several Southeast Asian countries."

The leader looked at her seriously, then said with a stern tone, "Seems like you do know quite a bit."

Eileen didn't respond.

The leader leaned forward a bit, elbows on his knees, looking into Eileen's eyes, "What else do you know?"

Eileen went on, "I also know that while the Bloodbane Shadowsociety is known as an assassin organization, they mainly work as bounty hunters. They don't typically kill without reason. Their targets are often domestic and international fugitives. They retrieve fugitives for the government and collect bounties. Sometimes they also take jobs from gangs, like helping a gang eliminate their enemies, or acting as mercenaries in war-torn countries, helping rebels or governments attack or break out of sieges. Who they help mainly depends on who offers more money."

Eileen concluded, "They're extremely dangerous."

The leader's face had turned very grim by now.

He looked at Egbert, then said sternly, "She must come with us."

Egbert suddenly gripped Eileen's hand tightly.

After a moment, he said nervously, "Mr. Reed will be here shortly."

The leader's face changed. In all of Crestonia, there was only one marshal.

Mr. Reed was going to handle this personally?

Eileen looked at Egbert, her eyebrows furrowed slightly.

Mr. Reed?

The leader was silent for a moment, took a deep breath, and continued to stare at Eileen, "Is that all you know about the Bloodbane Shadowsociety?"
