The Killer Queen (Noella Briony) novel Chapter 206

Chapter 206 

Thorpe had known since their last encounter that Palmer would come back for himor rather, for Hollis, the man who knew everything

Palmer casually tossed aside the bloodstained knife he had used moments before and removed his gloves to wipe away the blood that had spattered near his mouth

It wasn’t his blood, so its stench still hung in the air

Taking a seat. Palmer’s cold and unnerving aura filled the room. His men followed him so close, forming an invisible line against Thorpe’s crew

With a chilling smile, Palmer locked eyes with Thorpe, You knew I’d come, yet you still sent those Westwood Mercenary to their deaths. You’ve got guts ” 

They were disposable,” Thorpe sneered, his eyes devoid of any genuine regret. Pity though, even with the Westwood Mercenary Corps and the Gruber clan combined, they were useless against you, Vocalist.” 

Palmer’s words were like frost, I’m short on time and I’m not here for small talk. Hand over Hollis or you’ll die.” 

What’s the difference? I’m curious about how did you survive the onslaught of all those men.” 

Palmer’s eyes narrowed as he clicked off the safety on his revolver

Thorpe’s men raised their guns in response, aiming at Palmer. But Thorpe waved them off, Put them down. What’s the point of a shootout? You see, Vocalist. I can’t just hand him over. Ask your questions here.” 

This was the largest concession Thorpe could make. As the brain of Cerulean Whale, Hollis was critical to their operations. He couldn’t just let Palmer take Hollis

With a nod, Palmer handed his revolver to Annie and watched as Thorpe pushed Hollis forward with a relieved sigh

Hollis ignored all those corpses on the ground and greeted Palmer with a smile, Long time no see, Vocalist. Where’s Wise Fool?” 

Palmer wasn’t there for a reunion or pleasantries

Answer me, and you’ll live,he stated flatly

Let’s hear it.” 

The orders you followed, they came from the former Polaris Star’s Merak, right?Palmer’s expression was frosty as he said with a chilly tone, What does Polaris Star have to do with my mother’s death?” 

Hollis was stunned for a split second before he said, I don’t know former Merak’s code name. As for your mother’s death, it was due to infighting within the Pollack family. I don’t know whether Polaris Star was involved. I don’t have clearance for so much information. All I can tell you is the Chess Master’s reach is beyond your imagination. At least it’s powerful enough to get us out of Imperial City and back to the borderlands.” 

It’s also the ability to get so many people from Westwood Mercenary Corps to Imperial City with so much fanfare to dig up the highway. Palmer scoffed, his gaze chilly as a hawk. And, before anyone could react, he took Annie’s revolver and shot Thorpe in the leg, For crossing me. Cerulean Whale has too many members. Just the three brothers will suffice.” 

As soon as Palmer’s words were out of his mouth, the men behind him pulled their triggers at the same time. Cerulean Whale’s assassins went down in pieces

as when the 

As his people opened fire, Palmer’s voice was cold, Two members of Abyssal Organization are dead. There must be an offering.” 

Thorpe clutched his bleeding leg, his eyes bloodshot with fury

Palmer left, his gaze as frigid as a hellish demon

Thorpe stared at the dead around him, his teeth gritted. Does he really think we have no way to deal with him?he murmured

Hollis, searching for a first aid kit, responded, As of now, yes.” 

All that was left of Cerulean Whale were the three brothers, all sick and wounded

But we still have the boss,” Holliseyes glistened under the guise of his glasses

When Palmer stepped out of Cerulean Whale territory and exhaled deeply, his expression was still icecold

Annie handed him a phone, Boss, it’s Ms. Noella. Wanna take it?” 

Palmer’s tone softened as he answered, Noella, what’s up?” 

Where are you?” 

I’m on the border dealing with some trade issues for the Pollack Group. Some factories had trouble. What’s wrong?”

Chapter 206 

Noelia frowned slightly The sound of harsh winds on the line didn’t seem like factory noise, it was more like an open field. She had called because she remembered the strong scent of blood on Palmer from the night before when he stood on her balcony 

Nothing, Grandpa Sexton is asking when you’ll be back.” 

Since moving in, Sexton had shared meals with the Schnabels every day Sitting down to dinner, he always thought of Palmer, that stubborn kid. He couldn’t understand what was so pressing at the company to keep him away. Why that workaholic left such a beautiful fiancée alone at home

Sexton’s blood boiled whenever he thought of how clueless Palmer could be. His eyes darted around, and then he fibbed that his battery was deed, asking Noella to make a call for him

Palmer, overhearing Sexton’s boisterous tirade, knew most of it was aimed at him

*ill be back soon once this is sorted out.Palmer said

Okay” 

After hanging up, Palmer’s gaze lingered on the ruins in the distance

Annie felt a twinge of concern, Boss, aren’t you worried Ms. Noella will be upset if she finds out you didn’t tell her the truth?” 

It’s fine. She would have done the same in my shoes. A bit of anger is better than her being in danger.He said

Years ago, when Palmer lost his mother, he had sworn never to let such a thing happen again

He smiled, If I’m in trouble and Noella doesn’t care, maybe that’s not so bad.”
