Chapter 324 George Is Shock

Maya stayed calm, without the slightest trace of panic.

Until she turned another corner and ran straight into George.

He stood there in a white shirt and black coat with one hand in his pocket, amid the lingering smell of gunpowder and the dark stains of blood.

As he turned, the hem of his coat swayed lightly.

At the sound of footsteps, George looked over at once.

Their eyes met without warning.

With the lights out, only the emergency lights were on, and his features were partly hidden in shadow.

Only his eyes and the faint smirk on his lips were visible.

There was something unsettling about it.

George looked at her with a soft smile.

“Where do you think you’re going, Maya?”

His tone was intimate and drawn out, almost syrupy, like he’d been waiting for her for a long time.

But hearing it from him right now, it was nothing but unsettling.

Maya met his gaze head-on. She bit her lip, almost letting out a scream.

From the corner of her eye, Lucy caught a glimpse of the young man in the white shirt and black coat.

He was still smiling when he spoke.

But the moment George truly saw Maya’s hair, his smile froze.

He forgot all about scaring his runaway sister.

His expression stiffened as his eyes widened in shock.

“Maya, what did you do to your hair?”

J

Faced with that ridiculous broccoli-like hairstyle, he dropped the act. His usually smooth, pleasant voice lost its drawl.

If a person listened closely, there was even a hint of dryness and disbelief.

Maya didn’t answer. She spun around and dragged Lucy back the way they came.

Her movements was so fast as if she had just seen a ghost.

Lucy stumbled from the sudden pull and nearly fell.

Maya’s grip was unexpectedly strong, yanking her back into balance,

“Who’s that? Do we need to take them out?” One of the men in black beside George asked cautiously.

He had been with George for a long time and knew him weil Right now, George’s expression was strange, caught somewhere between shock and distraction.

“My sister,” George said, coming back to himself. The warmth drained from his face in an instant. He smiled faintly, a cold edge to it. “You want to go after my sister?”

“Sorry.” The man’s heart skipped as he realized he’d said the wrong thing. “Then why did she look at you like she’d seen a ghost?”

George didn’t answer.

He was still stuck on Maya’s shocking new look.

He had thought he would be the one to surprise her. Instead, Maya had nearly given him a heart attack first.

The image of that bright green hair flashed uncontrollably in his mind again.

He pulled out his phone and called Toby.

The call connected after two rings.

He skipped the greetings, speaking a little faster than usual, “Maya’s heading your way. Judging by her direction, she’ll probably run into your people. Be ready.”

“You couldn’t stop her?”

“She’s too fast,” George said lazily. Then he added, “By the way, how’s your heart?”

Toby sounded annoyed. “I don’t have heart problems.”

“Good.”

“Huh?”

Toby was baffled.

Lucy was dragged along as Maya ran. She was still out of breath. Before they left, she glanced back in a panic and met George’s eyes.

The lighting was too dim, and she was pulled away too quickly. She only caught a vague silhouette.

But for some reason, that silhouette felt strangely familiar.

“Wait. Who was that just now? I feel like I’ve seen him somewhere before.” She couldn’t help turning back. to look a few more times.

Finished

Maya paused for two seconds. For a moment, she thought George might finally be getting lucky in love. Even if he was like an unpredictable cat, his face alone could fool plenty of people.

He had always been like that. When he stayed quiet, he looked like a brooding, handsome boy.

She felt a flicker of hope. “Does he look like your dream guy?”

“No. He looks like a murderer. I’m sure I’ve seen him on a wanted poster.”

Maya fell silent.

Her brief hope shattered instantly. Only one thought remained in her mind.

Useless fool. Always embarrassing me in front of my friends.

“Maya,” Lucy said, a hint of delayed tension in her voice, “who was that? Why did he greet you like that? Do you know him?”

Setting aside the part where he looked like a criminal, Lucy had to admit the man was very good-looking.

Maya answered without hesitation, “He’s my enemy too.”

Lucy’s lips twitched.

But then again, it made sense. Assassins like Maya were bound to have plenty of enemies.

So she said nothing more.

“Are there any other exits around here?” Maya asked.

Lucy thought for a moment. “There’s one exit on the north side in this direction. A cargo passage is located there, usually used to transport large equipment. There should be fewer people guarding it. But we’ll have to take a big detour and go through the equipment level.”
