hapter 473 Kill Order
Tilda loosened her shoulders and clicked the mouse. She opened the audio file.
A familiar voice filled her headphones.
“Kill Tilda. I don’t care how much it costs. I want Tilda dead to avenge my children.”
Tilda narrowed her eyes. Danger flashed across her face.
She would never forget that voice.
Daphne.
Of all people.
Daphne had hired Skin, an assassin group ranked fifth on the dark web, to put a price on
head.
The recording showed Skin was still in the fact–finding stage. They just received Daphne’s request and were probing Tilda’s information.
Tilda’s
If they thought the hit carried little risk, they’d move on to negotiating a fee and setting the job in motion.
Haha!
A cold smile tugged a
A cold smile tugged at Tilda’s lips. These assassins weren’t ready to come after her.
Daphne had married into the Bells. For her to reach out to a Dark Web group was not surprising.
What Daphne didn’t know was far more important: Tilda was the number–one hacker on the Dark Web.
Those killers that were trying to take her life, they were way below her league.
Luckily, they weren’t hunting her because of her true identity.
They were acting on a contract.
A plan began to form in Tilda’s mind.
She called Andy.
“Andy, what did you
you find?”
1/4
“Everything’s handled. Una will get the notice soon,” Andy said.
“What about you–did you find anything?”
“Yeah, I traced them. Daphne hired Skin Organization to take me out. They’re still digging around,” Tilda said.
“What?!”
Andy clicked his tongue in surprise.
Even though Skin only ranked fifth, Andy had expected it would take days to trace them.
With Tilda’s level of cover, digging up that trail should have been slow work.
He simply asked casually; he didn’t expect an answer so fast.
Looks like he needed to update what he thought about Tilda’s skills.
She was still young, but she had a rare gift. Six months ago, Tilda wasn’t the same person she
was now.
She’d
grown without even noticing.
“Lucky break. It didn’t take me long. Andy, listen to my plan,” Tilda began, laying out the idea.
My family again.
Why do these people keep looking for trouble with Tilda these days?
to watch.”
Tilda replied, “Your Aunt Daphne.”
Aunt Daphne?
Jude’s mouth twisted into a thin smile. The smile was wrong–hungry, red under the surface.
He had been far too kind to their side of the family over the years, holding back the last shred of kinship.
They had taken advantage of him again and again.
He had already crushed that family’s last hope.
But they still had the nerve to target the woman he loved most.
Jude wrote, “To be honest, I want Daphne to vanish from this world right now. Together with her birth family.”
He had never felt so ready to make those people disappear from earth.
Jude knew that after Daphne married Ryan, she’d quietly used the Bells‘ influence to help her birth family.
Over the years the Kahlers grew bolder and worse. Jude had cracked them down before. After killing several leaders, they’d behaved for a while.
But Daphne resented him because of this.
Because Daphne was his aunt, Jude had spared her life.
If anyone else had abused his family power like she did, Jude would have torn them into pieces.
Daphne was the one who kept pushing her luck.
She couldn’t blame Jude for being ruthless.
Tilda replied, “The Kahlers? Do whatever you want with them. The only person I plan to kill is Daphne.”
