Chapter: 1525
P sighed, exasperated. "Hey, you guys keep yapping. Our leader hasn't even had a chance to say anything yet."
As the others finally quieted down, Sean cleared his throat and began to speak.
"Have any of you ever heard the name Rose?"
K's eyes sparkled, and a wisp of silver hair swayed on his head as he spoke. "Sir, are you familiar with Rose? She was well-known in the mercenary circles, and alongside Night Cat, they were key players for the Dark Night. We encountered Night Cat last time in Bellfolk. Could it be that both of them are still alive?"
The code names Selene and Rose had become legendary, and people habitually referred to her by these familiar names.
K, responsible for managing mercenary operations at Sacredice, knew these figures well. "Sir, where did you get this information? I've yet to have the opportunity to fight against Rose. It's truly a pity."
It was then that Sean realized what Norah had been hiding from him.
Since Norah had brought him along today, she clearly wasn't trying to keep it a secret from him. Now that Rose's name was mentioned, a simple search would reveal her identity.
Unexpectedly, Norah was none other than the infamous Rose, while Night Cat was Alice.
No wonder their connection seemed so deep. All the pieces Sean couldn't previously connect now fell into place.
Since Norah wasn't ready to reveal this herself, Sean decided to wait for her to share the details on her own terms.
"They're still alive. But whether Rose's willing to have a fight with you, I can't say," Sean told K.
K's eyes gleamed. "Sir, you must tell me where she is."
He admired strength and sought challenges from powerful individuals.
Rose's reputation had soared rapidly within a few years before it quickly faded.
Many were aware of the Dark Night's collapse and had presumed the demise of its two elite members.
"No." Sean refused at once. "But I'll ask her about it next time I have the chance."
K nodded eagerly. “I understand. Please don't forget my request."
“Sir, how have you been in Surella? If you ever need anything, just give me a call. I'll arrange everything for you," J offered with a smile.
I, the computer whiz, chimed in, "P, you're really lucky to be with sir's sister. You guys are practically family now. Did you plan this all along?"
Phillip blushed. “Susanna likes me for my charm. You guys just can't compete with me there."
After some light-hearted teasing, Sean ended the call. His mind wandered to the moments he had shared with Norah.
She was strong and used to handling things on her own. But now that the Dark Night was completely dismantled, she was simply his Norah.
No matter what other secrets she had, Sean wouldn't be surprised. He knew the only woman he loved was Norah.
