?Chapter 1278:


    A small smile yed on Norah’s lips as she read the message, rolling on the bed. It felt good to rely on Sean asionally. It seemed she liked Sean a little more now.


    Meanwhile, in the room next door, Sean initiated a secure video call using special encrypted software. It didn’t take long for the four Deacons to join the meeting.


    T, the first to speak, asked, “Why is there another meeting? What’s going on?”


    K echoed, “Is there a new mission for us?”


    J said, “No way. I bet this is about his girlfriend.”


    P sighed, exasperated. “Hey, you guys keep yapping. Our lead 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 yers for the Dark Night. We encountered Night Catst time in Bellfolk. Could it be that both of them are still alive?”


    The code names Selene and Rose had be 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 ce.


    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 is 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 copse and had presumed the demise of its two elite members.
