Chapter 424 The Order to Survive

Something had seemed a little off about Iris from: the moment she arrived.

Fifeshed

Jenny had assumed Iris came from money, but after getting to know her, she’d realized that wasn’t the case. Iris’s family was completely ordinary.

Her grades were also near the bottom of her class, making her seem completely out of place at Harmony.

Jenny had wondered how she’d gotten into Harmony, only to discover that Iris was an assassin there on a mission.

The Silent Archive was run by the Clarks, so it made sense that Maya and Iris knew each other.

Or perhaps…

“Are you an assassin too?” Jenny couldn’t help turning to look at her best friend.

Maya snapped out of her thoughts and quietly said, “Mm-hmm,” making no attempt to deny it.

After all, both her parents were assassins, so it wasn’t surprising that she’d followed them into the same line of work.

Who would’ve thought my best friend since elementary school was secretly an assassin? Jenny nearly blacked out.

“So whenever you’re not at school, you’re out killing people and setting things on fire?”

Maya was quick to correct her wording. “We don’t kill people and set things on fire every day. We haven’t taken a job in months.”

Jenny was speechless.

If they haven’t taken a job in months, that means they used to take them pretty often.

Jenny covered her eyes and took a deep breath, desperately trying to talk herself into accepting the truth as she muttered under her breath.

“Fine. Even if you’re a cold-blooded assassin, I still love you.”

Besides, being an assassin actually sounds pretty cool in real life, doesn’t it?

“You guys are seriously… terrifying, Maya.” Phoebe broke out in goose bumps. “What could Kaia possibly be thinking, taking on your family?”

Maya thought about it for a moment. “It doesn’t really matter what she’s thinking. She’s being pushed along too. What matters is dealing with the so-called good guys behind her first.”

Compared to the threat posed by the government and Asterio, Kaia herself was barely a threat.

Still, Kaia wasn’t getting away.

The moment Maya got home, she put a huge bounty on Kaia’s head.

Chapter 424 the Order to Survive

Finished

She had top-level access to the Silem Archive’s bounty system, so she didn’t need anyone’s approval.

She entered the amount, confirmed it, and hit submit.

After that, Maya didn’t leave the Silent Archive. Instead, she went straight to Ned’s office.

She sat down in an empty chair, lightly bit the back of her hand, and thought things over.

Taking on her family was a foolish move on Asterio’s part.

The Clarks had influence everywhere-in the military, government, business, and academia, both at home and abroad, in the open and behind the scenes. Trying to take them on head-on was impossible.

That was why Asterio only dared to make small moves in the shadows.

Even those little moves were irritating enough.

“Uncle Ned, can you assign me some people?”

Maya tapped the desk once to get Ned’s attention.

“What for?”

Ned covered his mouth, looking drained and listless. He lifted his chin slightly and asked flatly, “You don’t seriously want to lead a team, do you?”

“Yes.”

Ned studied Maya as if seeing her in a new light. “I’ve always thought you’d make the perfect mascot for the organization.”

Maya had practically grown up before his eyes.

He knew his niece well. She avoided trouble whenever she could and stayed out of anything she didn’t have to get involved in.

But now, the girl who had always steered clear of trouble was volunteering to lead a team?

Unbelievable.

Maya calmly repeated herself. “I want to do my part too. Let me join the operation to take down Asterio.”

Maya had been swept along by the so-called plot for far too long, and she was sick of it.

If she didn’t act, she’d be forced to watch helplessly as everything continued down its predetermined path.

Ned could hear how serious she was. After a brief pause, he tapped the desk twice.
