Defying Fate: The Unstoppable Eileen novel Chapter 346

When NightKing received the call from his subordinate, he was on a plane headed for Vietnam.

After listening to the update, he paused, a slight frown creasing his forehead, "She went looking for Silent Wing?"

"On the dot," the subordinate replied. "Right now, in the slums, the big three – Maloney, Haze, and Tynan – are all under her command. Starting from dawn today, their goons, hundreds of them, are combing through Ark City, searching every nook and cranny for Silent Wing."

NightKing asked lazily, "Found him yet?"

"Not yet. It's nearly noon, and I heard from one of Tynan's guys that she's got Tynan locked up, bullet wound and all. She said for each day they don't find him, Tynan bleeds for another day, to see who gets antsy first."

NightKing let out a chuckle, shaking his head in bemusement, "I like her style."

The subordinate then asked, "Boss, what about Maloney..."

NightKing replied softly, "Since she's busy, it's not a rush. Traitors will meet their end eventually."

The subordinate acknowledged with a "Yes," and then asked, "So what do we do now?"

After a moment of silence, NightKing said casually, "Keep an eye on things."

"Got it."

After ending the call, NightKing exited his contacts and navigated his phone to a shadowy international forum.

He had posted there over a month ago, but so far, no replies.

The person he was looking for had also vanished without a trace.

"Can't find them, can't find them, can't find them! If you can't find them, keep looking! The boss is still in her hands! Hustle!"

The slums today were unusually tense and peculiar.

Normally, the goons of the big three, who would fight at the drop of a hat, were strangely harmonious today.

Not only were they avoiding their usual brawls, but they were also greeting each other.

"Found anything?"

"Nope, you?"

"Same here, damn! Keep looking!"

It's unclear who started it, but by evening, a rumor had spread through the slums.

—The big three are done for. A new power has emerged, consolidating the three factions in just one night. Did you hear the alarms last night? That was the battle cry! The slums now have a new boss, and it's said to be a woman!

The rumor about the new boss spread like wildfire, engulfing all of Ark City within an hour.

Outside the slums, in the market, Major Warner and a section of the Crestonia advance team gathered, listening intently to the fresh gossip.

A team leader said, "Things are changing too fast. The big three suddenly collapsed, and now there's a new force in the slums, led by a woman. They say she's ruthless, bloodthirsty, known as the Blood Phoenix."

Major Warner narrowed his eyes, pondering for a moment, "Blood Phoenix? Never heard of her on the international scene."

"That's because the slums just coined the name today!" the team leader explained.

Major Warner sighed, "Enough with the jokes."

He continued, "Find out more about this woman. Which country is she from? Who does she associate with? What's her agenda?"

"Roger that."

As dusk fell, painting the slums in fiery hues, a filthy little boy suddenly found one of Maloney's men!
