Badass in Disguise (Shadow) novel Chapter 350

Chapter 350

Night and Chris moved closet, peeting over her shoulder at the screen. They rognized the women justa

before they exchanged glances and turned to fade with disbelief written across their featujes

In a dimly lit room, Mile approached SPECTER, the Shadow Organization’s leader, whose face remained obscured by dged are The blue light from multiple screens cast an eerie glow over the space,

“Sir, I apologize for failing to capture Max Morgan, Milo reported, keeping his head slightly bowed in deference, “However, another asset–someone else who matters to jade.”

SPECTER’s distorted voice betrayed a hint of curiosity beneath its mechanical tone. “Bring him to me

Jade’s phone suddenly received an anonymous video call request–clearly the work of a hacker, though not skilled enough to break through her superior firewall. She studied the notification for a moment before tapping to accept the call.

SPECTER’s digitally obscured face filled the screen, his voice processed to disguise its natural tone. “We meet again.” He examined her through the screen, the pixelated mask doing nothing to hide his smug satisfaction. “You’ve recovered well. How disappointing

Night rose from his seat, muscles tensed and ready to confront the Shadow Organization leader, but Jade held up her hand to stop him, her eyes never leaving the screen.

*Should I come to you, or will you come to me?” she asked coldly, her voice devoid of emotion.

“Poland, Nigeria, New Delhi, Canberra,” SPECTER listed with exaggerated thoughtfulness. “Guess where I’ve hidden them?” His tone was mocking. “I’m generous enough to let your three friends help you save them.”

He was deliberately trying to separate Jade from Night, Chris, and Ethan. Three hostages scattered across four countries–a clever strategy to divide their forces.

“Your friends have one week. After that, all three die.” His voice hardened. “And I’ll keep finding people you care about. Your most valued asset is already with me, and I’ll treat him well–for now.”

“Come alone. Bring anyone else; and his fate will be worse than Shadow’s.” His voice dropped to a near whisper. “Oh, and I have an old friend of yours here. I’m sure you’re eager to see her as much as I’m eager to watch you two fight.”

The screen went dark abruptly, leaving an oppressive silence in its wake.

“Absolutely not,” Night thundered, his face contorted with rage as he paced the room like a caged animal. “I won’t let you risk your life for these nobodies.”

Jade ignored him, addressing everyone calmly, her voice measured. “We only have a week. The distances are vast. You should prepare.”

Night stared at her in disbelief, his hands clenching into fists. “You want us to save them?”

Whether you save them or not, it’s time to end this,” the replied. Her eyes hard with dange

“At least wait until we we both recovered, Night insisted

Ethan’s expression was grave, his eyes never leaving fade’s face. “Are you really going alone?

She looked at him, noting the concern etched in the lines around his eyes. Do you have a better solution? This confrontation inevitable.

Night’s face darkened, his voice dropping dangerously. “I refuse. I’m not abandoning you to save people I don’t even know?

“You’re injured. I’ll send someone else, Jade said firmly, her tone brooking no argument.

Night exploded, slamming his fist against the wall. This is suicider

Jade met his gaze with absolute certainty. “I’ll survive.”

“Bullshit! They’ve set a trap for you!” Night’s voice echoed off the walls, his frustration palpable.

Chris joined in, his normally calm voice tinged with concern. “I agree. This is reckless. At least wait until you’re fully healed before confronting them.”

Jade remained silent, her decision already made, her mind calculating outcomes and contingencies.

“Have you contacted Selene? An insider within the Organization could give us an advantage. With proper planning, we might have a chance, Ethan spoke.

Jade looked at him, a slight smile crossing her lips. His suggestion matched her own thoughts exactly.

“You haven’t slept since last night, Ethan continued gently, noting the almost imperceptible shadows beneath her eyes. “Rest first. Well discuss this when you wake up.”

After washing up and eating lunch, Jade climbed into bed.
