"I didn't expect Becky to be involved in this business. I guess it's true what they say that God works in mysterious ways to help us. I heard a lot of people investigated this and all of them came up with the same results," The Black Widow saluted Hannah before tipping the whiskey glass until she consumed all its contents. As a drinker, she was invincible, so it was easy to down the whole glass of whiskey. Wiping her mouth with the back of her hand, she said, "I feel like there's another gang taking action as well."
"Is that so? Well, I don't care at all," Hannah retorted, sitting up. "I was more worried if the cat's paw could get away with it. Thanks to Becky, we don't need to worry about it all." A sly smile broke out on that innocent and beautiful face. "I heard that Molly and Becky are half-sisters. Things are really getting more interesting now," Black Widow said.
Her statement elicited no reaction. She thought Hannah was an absolute badass, and she was determined to raise the game. Smiling, Black Widow added, "I also have good news. According to the Jesuit, Steven will be back soon."
It was indeed good news for Hannah, who smiled brightly as she stood up to leave. "That's good to hear! And it's a wonderful bonus."
Watching Hannah's departing back, Black Widow wore a satisfied smile. It was a smile that would make other people shiver.
"Boss, why do you cooperate with that girl?" the bartender asked as he approached Black Widow. He smirked at his question in a show of contempt for Hannah.
She turned to hand over her glass to the bartender, who refilled it for her. Slowly, she explained, "Although Mr. Song is no longer in business, he still has the power. And there are still a lot of people who would follow his lead. If we want to control the whole dark world of A City, we must get rid of his heir. But don't you worry. We have everything under control." Black Widow was ambitious and it was her dream to be the leader of the underworld. She raised her eyebrows and brushed her jaw with fingertips before pressing her lips on his cheek to give him a kiss. "What would Brian do if he finds out it was Hannah who did this?" she wondered aloud.
Hannah, of course, was clueless about Black Widow's plan. Black Widow was the master, and she was still a student and would be no match for the master. To her knowledge, everything was under her control. Once she stepped out of the bar, she called Jenifer right away. "Where are you?" Hannah asked urgently.
At that moment, Jenifer was in Edgar's garden, which was next to the sitting room. She held a glass of red wine and looked at Edgar who was sitting on the sofa watching TV. Taking the call, Jenifer heard Hannah's voice and said, "Hello, Hannah. I'm here at Edgar's house."
"So, have you slept with him?" Hannah asked.
"Not yet. I don't know why. Am I not attractive enough?" Jenifer replied dejectedly.
"You know what? I think you should put something in his drink," Hannah suggested. "Do you need me to get something strong for him?"
A small smile appeared on Jenifer's face. She thought her friend's suggestion was ridiculous. "He's not that stupid," she told Hannah. She paused a moment and continued, "Why are you calling me at this ungodly hour?"
