Chapter 891
She had always been in the country and was either in the research lab or company. She rarely went out, and her friends were only Reign and Haylan. She did not know Sovereign of Shadows at all.
“You don’t know him?” Xiao Beichen frowned.
Kelsen’s expression changed as well. He said in a deep voice, “Ms. Lynch, think about it carefully. Are there any powerful and mysterious experts around you?”
Leonard also said, “Think about it again carefully. Did our Sovereign wear a mask or disguise himself?
“Does he have two names?”
As far as he knew, Sovereign of Shadows was very good at disguising himself. He often dressed up in different appearances to carry out various missions.
It was very likely Sovereign of Shadows had used a fake identity when making friends with Yvonne. Therefore, Yvonne did not know her friend was the world’s number one expert, Sovereign of Shadows.
“In disguise?”
Yvonne fell into deep thought. In the end, she shook her head and said, “No. The friends I know don’t have dual identities.”
“Leonard, Mr. Maddox, it was most likely you have mistaken me for someone else.”
Kelsen and Leonard instantly fell silent hearing this.
“Mr. Dunkin, could it be you have mistaken her for someone else?” Kelsen said in a low voice.
Leonard shook his head and said, “Our Sovereign is elusive and unparalleled in transfiguration. Whenever he carries out a mission, he will assume different appearances and faces.
“I reckon when Ms. Lynch made friends with our Sovereign, our Sovereign must have used a fake identity, and she’s
unaware.
Upon hearing this, Kelsen understood in his heart.
Indeed, it made a lot of sense!
It would be undignified if others could discover the Sovereign of Shadows‘ true identity easily.
“I appreciate your help very much. When I upgrade these remedy pill later, I’ll give them to you as a thank–you gift. Thank you.”
Yvonne thanked Leonard and Kelsen respectfully before returning to Reign and the others‘ side.
Reign glanced at Gatsby, Gilroy, and the others and said in a deep voice, “Alright, everyone. This matter has come to an end. We’re going back first.”
At this moment, Josef walked out of the crowd, his eyes solemn. “Ms. Labenz, you can’t leave tonight”
“Why?” Reign frowned.
“Mr. Josef, you betrayed us just now. What do you want to do now?” Landon said coldly.
Previously, Josef was on their side. He had even stood up for Yvonne before.
However, when people threw eggs and tomatoes at Yvonne, Josef ignored them even though he was on the stage.
It was indeed a blatant betrayal!
Therefore, he held a strong grudge against Josef.
“It doesn’t matter what you think of me. In short, it will definitely be very dangerous if you leave tonight. You’ll have a slim chance of survival.”
Josef appeared solemn and earnest. He said in a deep voice. “It’s tremendously dangerous outside now. Many troops are lying in ambush, wanting to kill you guys.
“Stay here. With the protection of my force, no one dares to attack you.
“When the timing is right, I will have someone quietly escort you guys away.”
He was the CEO of Deity Pharmaceutical Group and a super big shot in the pharmaceutical industry in Blubridge City. He knew the changes in this city like the back of his hand.

Chapter 891
According to their intelligence, many forces were lying in ambush outside the hotel now.
As soon as Haylan and his group appeared, they were bound to encounter an ambush. It was highly likely that everyone except Lawrence would be heavily targeted and attacked.
“Stop trying to intimidate us. Do you think we will forgive you just because of this?” Landon sneered.
“Mr. Katz, what he said is true. I can sense danger,” Lawrence said.
“I’ve also sensed a hint of danger,” Reign said.
While she might not possess the same level of sharpness as Lawrence that could foresee future situations, her woman’s intuition told her that it was tremendously dangerous outside.
She was in such a hurry just now because she had wanted to leave this place as soon as possible and return to the Longhard Kingdom.
“Many people are indeed lying in ambush outside now,” Haylan said calmly.
He possessed an incredibly keen perceptiveness in sensing the presence of the murderous aura and had long perceived the presence of a powerful and pervasive hostility outside.
As for the weaker murderous aura, they were simply countless.
Josef was right. Once they went out, many would attack them.
“What should we do now? Are they here for our remedy pill?” Yvonne was a little nervous.
They had no external help in a foreign country. The consequences would be unimaginable if they were attacked again.
“Don’t worry. With me around, we’ll be fine.”
Haylan lit a cigarette and said calmly, “However, Mr. Josef is right. It’s not the time to go out now.
“We need to wait for a while.”
“Until when?” Yvonne asked.
Haylan took a puff of his cigarette, slowly exhaling a mouthful of smoke, then he said calmly, “No idea.
At this moment, Lawrence said, “Wait for everyone to disperse.”
With his sharp gaze, he quickly understood what Haylan meant.
Now that many people were gathered here, with a mix of friends and foes. Their whereabouts could be exposed at any time.
The enemy lurked in the dark while they were in the light!
Under such circumstances, even the most formidable person would be heavily targeted and attacked.
“Wait till everyone disperses?”
Reign and Yvonne were intelligent. Hearing those words and considering the possible ambush outside, they instantly
understood.
In this hall, there must be spies of the ambushers outside.
