Masked In Nobility: Secrets Of Mrs. Chavez

Kaiden didn’t even knock; he just pushed the door open.

Robin, writhing in pain on his hospital bed, saw Kaiden arrive and struggled to get up. His bodyguard immediately stepped forward to help him.Exclusive © material by Nô(/v)elDrama.Org.

Kaiden was very good at maintaining appearances. He nervously stepped forward, looking sympathetically at Robin. With a fake sincerity, he said, “Mr. Jenkins, are you feeling any better?”

To outsiders, it might seem like these two are close, but in reality, they can’t stand each other and don’t want to see the other doing well.

Robin knew Kaiden was being insincere. He glared angrily at Kaiden, his eyes showing a hint of malice, and his voice was hoarse from the pain.

He said, “Don’t pretend to be kind here. I have something to discuss with you. If you handle this for me, I’ll stop our business dealings with your brother and transfer them to you. Since you’ve already looked into our business, you know how profitable it is. If you agree to my terms, the Jenkins family will also secretly support you for future Steel Serpents candidates.”

Even Kaiden was tempted by this offer. The Jenkins family would be a significant boost for him, but he knew there was no such thing as a free lunch. He realized Robin must have high demands, so he didn’t agree immediately and hesitated a bit. “Mr. Jenkins, can you explain? If I can’t meet your demands, no matter how big the promise, I just can’t take it!”

Robin snorted. He was out of options. Kaiden’s older brother had much more influence in the underworld, so to seek revenge, he had to humble himself and ask Kaiden for help. ‘I bet the Harper family, Ybaulla’s top mafia family, can’t even kill a woman. Even if she’s a level one Interpol agent, what now?

Robin gritted his teeth, filled with anger as he made his demands to Kaiden. “Kaiden, just kill the woman who ruined me, that level one Interpol agent, right? Her name is Yvette, correct? Once you kill her, I’ll support you as agreed. This deal is very profitable, isn’t it? You know I keep my promises.”

Kaiden, sitting in his chair, stood up abruptly after hearing this. Looking at the resentful and surprised Robin, he immediately refused without a second thought. “Mr. Jenkins, you must be joking. Yvette is a level one Interpol agent. Why should I kill her? Maybe you haven’t been online and don’t know she’s now the Goddess of Clusia, with top reputation there. I can’t fulfill your request.”

Robin’s expression froze. He didn’t expect Kaiden to refuse without even considering it. ‘Even if Yvette is the Goddess of Clusia and an Interpol agent, there are so many assassins in Steel Serpents. Can’t they just take her out quietly?‘ Robin thought Kaiden was rejecting him because the offer wasn’t generous enough and felt very annoyed. ‘As expected, an illegitimate child can’t hold his own. He’s so greedy, wanting more even after being given so much. Does he really think only he can kill Yvette?‘

Suppressing his anger, Robin was nicer to Kaiden than ever before. But before he could add more to the deal, Kaiden interrupted him. “Robin, you misunderstood. It’s not that your offer isn’t enough–it’s that I don’t have the ability to kill Yvette. Want me to kill her? Not in this lifetime!”

When Kaiden heard Robin’s request, he was already ready to swear. “This idiot actually thinks highly of me, asking me to send someone to kill Yvette? Even if I send all of Steel Serpents‘ people, I’d probably end up cleaning up their bodies myself. That’s an instructor! Can anyone kill her? I wouldn’t dare show up in front of her unless I wanted to die horribly. Robin’s already in this bad shape and is still being so unrealistic. How can someone like him bè a world champion? I used to think highly of him!

What right do we, Steel Serpents, have to kill a level one Interpol agent?’ Robin thought, ‘Robin and Malcolm were taken away like that. Doesn’t it show the instructor’s position within the Interpol organization?‘ Robin figured Kaiden was just unwilling to accept because the offer wasn’t good enough and despised him for it. ‘As expected, an illegitimate child can’t hold his own. He’s so greedy, wanting more even after being given so much. Does he really think only he can kill Yvette?‘

Kaiden walked to the door, his hand on the handle, but then stopped and turned around to give his final piece of advice. “For Ybaulla’s sake, Robin, I advise you to drop this idea.” Of course, Kaiden wasn’t doing this for Robin’s good; he just feared Robin might go crazy and disrupt the upcoming competition. ‘Whether Robin shows up or not doesn’t matter. What’s important is that I finally got a chance to be in the spotlight. As long as I win in Clusia, my position as the next successor of Steel Serpents is secure.

The hospital room door slammed shut, leaving Robin staring blankly with a dark, gloomy expression. After kicking out all the bodyguards, he watched the news on the room’s TV about Ybaulla’s apology today and suddenly went crazy, tearing the sheets until they were shredded.

could Robin called the bodyguards again to bring in the computer. He logged into a killer website he had heard about before from someone else–the Black Gold Network. He heard that the world’s best assassins were all on this site. As long as you pay the price, someone would take the job. Nothing these people couldn’t handle.

Confident, Robin placed the order, certain someone would accept it. ‘I don’t believe that just being an Interpol agent means no one can kill her. I don’t trust a word Kaiden said. What a joke! He’s just scared and cowardly, telling me to drop this idea!”

Robin nervously logged into the Black Gold Network. He browsed the order section, seeing all sorts of tasks, from killing a country’s president to murdering a small–time businessman. He saw the top name on the leaderboard was “Zola,” followed by “Eagle King” and “Flying Fish.”

The Black Gold Network had all kinds of tasks, and seeing others take orders boosted Robin’s confidence that his order would be accepted too. Carefully, he placed the order and watched the screen intently, refreshing every few seconds. Finally, five minutes later, someone accepted the order.

But before Robin could get excited, all the assassins on the Black Gold Network went into a frenzy. They saw who took the order. “This top dog who hasn’t taken an order in almost two years is now taking such a small job? Only 15 million dollars? Who’s this pathetic guy? The person who placed the order must have had some crazy luck to get this big shot to take it voluntarily.’

Once everyone saw the task details, they were all stunned. ‘He’s coming out of retirement just to take such a small job, killing an Interpol agent? Isn’t that a bit overkill?‘
