The Mercenary Queen Strikes Back (Lily Hastings) novel Chapter 103

Chapter 103 Mission Accomplished

Nova’s voice, light but unwavering, sliced through the room. The woftan on the bed was so spooked she couldn’t utter a sound, and the guy? He was so terrified his rganly pride practically evaporated right then and there.

“A the woman on the bed started to scream the moment she saw Nova.

Before she could even let out a peep, a towel was expertly tossed from up front, landing perfectly to shut her mouth tight Nova lounged by the window, giving the rifle on her shoulder a lazy, casual tit

She drawled, “I’m not fond of people who don’t listen. If you don’t want to end up dead tonight, zip it.

“Appreciate your cooperation.”

The man lying on the bed was none other than Mihoon-the notorious number two drug lord of Trinova.

Mihoon’s face drained of all color, completely terrified by the situation.

All the years he’d run his operation here, not once had anyone slipped past the battalion posted outside without a single alarm being raised.

And the person who managed to pull it off? Not some grizzled old war dog.!.

But a teenage girl.

Mihoon’s shoulders shook involuntarily, some nameless panic clawing at his chest and threatening to choke him.

He forced himself to act tough, fighting to keep his voice steady even as his nerves frayed. “What do you want?”

“A research report.” Nova’s voice was icy, her gaze cutting down like she was staring at some nobody. She cocked her chin ever so slightly, a cold, predatory light flickering in her eyes.

Nova leaned in, repeating herself with emphasis, “To be clear, a researcher from Zoria misplaced something here not so long ago.

“You’ve been babysitting it long enough. Now, give it back-time to return it to where it belongs.”

With a gun pointed right at him, Mihoon didn’t dare try anything funny.

That research report might be worth a small fortune, but no way he’d put it above his own neck. Nothing was worth dying

over.

‘When did the people from Zoria’s frontlines get so damn powerful?’ Mihoon couldn’t help but panic.

‘A single kid can just waltz right into my own headquarters and have me completely at her mercy?’

With the research report secured, Nova made quick work of the two sprawled on the bed-knocking them unconscious and tying them up, leaving them completely exposed.

Done with her mission, she retraced her steps and slipped away as silent as a shadow.

By the time Mihoon’s men stumbled upon the scene, Nova would have already disappeared from Trinova, leaving no trace behind.

By the time Nova led Andrew out of the casino, the guy had gambled away everything-down to a pair of ill-fitting

underwear that barely covered him.

She looked up, eyes catching the crescent moon glowing overhead.
