Chapter 94
Outside the auditorium. Yvette told Bonnie to leave first and found a quiet corner to call Eagle King.
After two rings, a familiar, urgent voice came through the phone “Boss, how soon can you get here?”
They had a tacit understanding that they didn’t need to say anything extra to know what the other meant.
While talking to Eagle King. Yvette checked the latest flights from Seacrity to Thymion. Then, she said, “I’ll be in Thymion’s capital in four hours. What happened with Flying Fish?”
Eagle King gritted his teeth, his voice serious and slightly worried. “Boss, Flying Fish has offended the largest underworld” family in Golden Triangle, the Kerton family. After sending me a message, Flying Fish disappeared. I’m already in Kransbay. where Flying Fish was last located. It’s a little complicated. Il explain more when you arrive.”
“Okay” Yvette hung up the phone and sent Simon a message. Then, she returned to her dorm to grab her bag and took a taxi straight to the airport.
Simon was at a restaurant with Jaiden and Zion. Just as he was about to eat, he received Yvette’s message.
He was slightly taken aback after reading the message. He then continued to entertain the two as if nothing but he seemed a bit distracted compared to before.
had happened.
Yvente asked for leave! And the duration is uncertain. Sigh. I could protect her if she were under my watch, but now she’s leaving. How can I keep an eye on her?’ Simon thought in worry
At the dining table, Jaiden tried to cozy up to Zion with flattering remarks. Zion, aware of Jaiden’s intentions, was reluctant to engage with businessmen, so he just had some casual conversation without getting too involved.
On the contrary. Sawyer, who came along with Zion, was very enthusiastic toward Jaiden. They were engrossed in lively
conversations.
Simon couldn’t help but sigh whenever he thought about Yvette being somewhere unknown. The others noticed, and Zion put down his cutlery, gently asking, “What’s wrong?”
Thinking it was nothing major, Simon told them Yvette had taken leave for personal matters.
Hearing that, Sawyer scoffed. “I bet Ms. Zeller is backing out. I heard she has a few more matches in the next two days.”
Zion was displeased with what he heard and glanced at Sawyer, who was gloating. For the first time, he wondered if he had chosen the wrong student. In his view, arrogance was acceptable, but not malice. He had brought Sawyer along to help him step out of his comfort zone and socialize more, but it seemed futile. ‘Forget it. Once we’re back in Betrico, Ill let him find his own way, he thought.
Jaiden didn’t react much but just smiled nonchalantly. He remained silent and sipped his coffee, hiding the calculations in his mind.
Simon was briefly stunned. Sawyer’s harsh words reminded him of an issue: how he should manage Yvette’s upcoming competitions. A moment later, he came up with a solution. ‘No choice. Although it’s my first time, I can only pull some strings for her, he thought
That day, the university’s website announced a rule change: students could no longer register for multiple events to allow more participation. That sparked brief discussions among students, with some pleased by the change as the previous rule was seen as unreasonable.
The competitions went on smoothly over the next few days, but it had nothing to do with Yvette anymore.
At that moment, Yvette was already on the plane to Thymion. A young man, Kevin Garcia, noticed her beauty and felt a

desire to flirt with her since she was traveling alone.

Just one seat apart, Kevin struck a handsome pose and approached Yvette. “Hello, Miss. Are you also going to Thymion? Me too. Are you going for a vacation? I’m going with my uncle to explore Kransbay.”
Yvette instantly opened her eyes and turned to look at him. He appeared to be around 19, dressed in flashy luxury brands. The only impressive feature was his charming eyes, adding a touch of handsomeness to his face.
“Kransbay,” Yvette replied coldly.
Kevin shivered, not expecting such a cold voice from such a pretty lady. He felt a bit intimidated. Despite his earlier flirtatious demeanor, it was his first time doing so.
Yvette glanced at him and immediately realized he was just nervously trying to talk to her. “Why are you going to Kransbay?” she asked.
Under Yvette’s gaze, Kevin spilled everything he’d promised his uncle, Martin Garcia, to keep secret. “I… I’m going to Kransbay because there’s an auction in three days. My uncle runs a jewelry store, and he’s going to stock up.”
Kevin kept his head low, deeply regretting what he had just said. Oh no! Forgive me! If Uncle Martin finds out I told a stranger so much, he surely won’t let me off, he thought.
Yvette closed her eyes, her face expressionless, with a hint of coldness in her delicate features.
Kevin raised his head, sneaking a peek and wondering. Did she fall asleep?
He reassured himself, thinking Yvette might not know what an auction was. He doubted an ordinary person would go such a place, which made him feel more at ease.
Afterward, Kevin lost the desire to talk to Yvette. He preferred women who were pretty and gentle. Although Yvette was beautiful, she was too fierce for his taste.
After a four-hour flight, the plane finally landed in Thymion’s capital. Known for its tropical climate, the place was notoriously hot year-round, with temperatures often over 86 degrees Fahrenheit. Especially since it was in the summer, the heat could be quite aggravating.
As soon as Kevin saw his uncle, he started complaining about Thymion’s weather, saying that the climate back in Clusia was much better, with its distinct seasons.
When Yvette exited the airport, she saw Eagle King standing by the roadside.
Eagle King had not disclosed his whereabouts to anyone on his trip to South East Aploth. Dressed in floral pants, he cut an imposing figure, and the tattoos on his arms attracted the ladies on the roadside, having them frequently turn their heads.
But it was reasonable that the ladies were turning their heads to him. After all, the gender ratio was quite imbalanced in Thymion, and men as tall and handsome as Eagle King were indeed rare.
“Boss, over here… Here!” Eagle King instantly noticed Yvette and shouted
In such dreadful weather, the only person who would cover herself head to toe in black would be Yvette. Eagle King was well aware of Yvette’s sensitivity to the cold.
Upon hearing the sound, Yvette glanced around and walked toward Eagle King with her black bag on her back, not noticing another person dressed in a long white overcoat nearby.
Emmett, dressed in a black suit, stood before a black car and opened the door. Just as Jeremiah was about to get in, he heard someone speaking Clusian. He paused slightly, gazing into the distance, and only saw a thin figure dressed in black.
His heart suddenly skipped a beat. He found it strangely familiae When he tried to get a clearer look, the car had already

When he got
into the car, Jeremiah took out his phone and hesitated for a while. Finally, he made the call.
However, what he heard was. The number you have dialed is unavailable.”
Her phone is off?’ Jeremiah thought, hesitating for a moment before sending a message to Andrew. Shortly after, he received a reply, typed [Yvette just won the plans competition. In keeping an eye on her, so don’t worry.]

Andrew, too engrossed in his game, was unaware that the person he was supposed to watch over was already in Thymion.
After reading the message, Jeremiah felt relieved. Little did he know that he had just missed out on Yvette because of Andrew’s text.
Putting away his phone, Jeremiah frowned deeply, realizing that things were more challenging than he had imagined. It was related to the Kerton family, the largest underworld family in Golden Triangle
