Defying Fate: The Unstoppable Eileen novel Chapter 275

Eileen bit back the urge to turn her head and re-examine Egbert’s fingers, to confirm whether he had indeed spoken those words.

Seriously, with all that’s going on, can’t you say something helpful?

She knew Egbert must have recognized NightKing, too. Otherwise, why would he have turned so fierce all of a sudden?

But why on earth was NightKing here? That was the burning question Eileen desperately wanted answered.

Ever since she’d started filming "Romantic Revelations," she had pushed thoughts of NightKing to the back of her mind.

The last time she used her mentor’s encrypted communication device to track his international whereabouts was half a month ago.

She knew her mentor had traveled from Silverland to Emerald Republic, but she hadn’t dwelt on it.

Who would have guessed that their next meeting would be under such circumstances?

The rebel leader’s and his second-in-command's voices were growing louder—they were at odds.

After a while, Eileen saw her mentor step forward to "administer justice."

Eileen watched as NightKing’s thin lips pursed slightly and then he uttered the phrase, "Kill one to warn a hundred."

Eileen froze. In the next instant, all three men turned their heads and, as one, set their sights on her.

Eileen was speechless.

Damn, why was she suddenly the sacrificial lamb?

The rebel commander then gave his right-hand man a meaningful look.

Hesitant but obedient, the man stepped toward Eileen and jerked his thumb backward, saying, “Our boss wants a word with you.”

Eileen was silent for a moment, then said, “Fine.”

Together, they walked towards the commander.

“Doesn’t look like she’ll be much trouble,” the rebel commander said to his advisor - NightKing.

But he remained silent, his cool gaze following Eileen as she approached their circle.

As soon as Eileen stepped into the rebel’s encirclement...

The rebel commander waved his hand dramatically and barked, “Take her down!”

Instantly, three of his loyal soldiers surged forward.

Simultaneously, Eileen raised her submachine gun with one hand and aimed straight for the rebel commander’s forehead.

"Whoosh!"

The sound of the bullet slicing through the air was the only warning.

Before the commander could understand what was happening, his body was yanked backward. The three goons, shocked, abandoned their assault on Eileen and quickly formed a protective circle around their chief!

The commander felt a chilling whoosh by his temple and clutched it in astonishment, then looked ahead.

There she was, that defiant beauty, aiming her gun at the back of the head of his top lieutenant.

—[Holy moly, it's going down!]

—[OMG, that scared me! It's a real gun! They're going live!]

—[Wait, what just happened? I blinked.]

—[Class rep here, I’ll explain. They lured Eileen over to try and kill her, but she reacted instantly, took a shot at the commander's head, he was pulled out of the way by one of his men,, and now Eileen is holding the leader hostage.]

—[Eileen is so quick!]
