BXBX NOVEL Chapter 422 Confirmed!
Abigail had been in deep thought ever since she left the cafe. She had a nagging feeling that Vincent might be the missing link in this puzzle. She scanned her phone, reading the information sent by Dave regarding Vincent.
\'I need to retrieve some files… I have to go back to our previous headquarters. I don\'t know if Nathan destroyed everything completely. I have to see it myself.\' With those thoughts in mind, Abigail decided to drop by the Phantom Assassin Guild\'s headquarters, instead of heading straight to her new hideout.
Abigail told the driver of the cab to send her to a certain location. She had mixed emotions as the car traversed through the highway. The massacre that night was still vivid in her memory. She could remember her fellow assassins died at the hands of the Syphiruz Mafia.
That tragic night was a nightmare for Abigail. Her heart was filled with anxiety as she was getting closer to their headquarters. When she arrived, she saw the burned ruins of the mansion. She hesitated for a moment.
"Miss, we\'ve arrived!" The driver\'s voice snapped Abigail back to the present.
Abigail exhaled sharply to gather her emotions. She paid the taxi driver and stepped out of the cab. She didn\'t take a step. She just stood there, roaming her eyes around. This was their training ground before. She was trained here by her master. Then she became the leader when her master retired.
The family she had died because of her wrong decision. She chose to go against Nathan and the Syphiruz Mafia because she was a proud woman who wouldn\'t refuse a challenge.
\'I brought demise to my own family…\' Abigail slammed her eyes shut and clenched her teeth. She acknowledged her mistake, blaming herself.
"The Raven…" she mumbled, a cold glint flashing through her eyes. Her hatred toward Nathan was now diverted to the Raven.
"Nathan wants an answer… once I return to my original body and regain consciousness, I will tell Nathan who called the hit to kill Monica. If this is the only way to help him do what he is dying to do… getting revenge against the people who hired me… then I am willing to reveal it. For Ethan… I will break the rule… my own rules." Abigail already made up her mind.
After a while, she traced her steps toward the burned ruins of her mansion. Everything was destroyed because Nathan burned it. But unknown to him, Phantomflake had a secret basement located underground. She stored important files there. And her computer sets were still there.
She would retrieve records of the monitoring she did on Monica. She had been following her for a few weeks before the assassination. She was certain that she saw Vincent and Monica talking somewhere. She had to remember the date and the place where the two met each other.
"Was it pure business? Or they were romantically involved with each other?" Abigail asked herself. She looked for a certain symbol. The debris blocked the entrance to her underground basement. Abigail had to clean the area first before she could enter the basement.
After fifteen minutes, she managed to remove all the debris. She saw the burned floor. She just pressed something and the entrance door was opened. The stairs going down appeared in front of her. She used her flashlights to light her way down.
Abigail felt surreal to see her underground basement. Her computer sets were still there. The specks of dust covered all the computers. She wasn\'t sure if the computers were still functional. She couldn\'t turn them on because there was no power source.
What she did was take the computer hard drive. All the files were stored in that drive. When she was done, she made sure to pack the other external hard drives inside the basement. She would need those files once she returned as Phantomflake.
"I have to transfer these computer sets to my new place. But how will I do that? No one should find out that I visited this place… most importantly Nathan." Abigail looked around, thinking about what items she would prioritize. She grabbed some weapons too— her favorite daggers.
She left the underground basement when she was satisfied with the items she retrieved from the inside. She dialed Butler Li\'s number. It did not take long before Butler Li answered the call.
"Hello, Miss Abi. How can I help you? Are you giving me another task?" The Butler Li sounded cheerful and excited as if he was looking forward to the task coming from Abigail.
"Yes, Butler Li. I need to hire someone. A trusted man," Abigail asked him.
"I recommend MYSELF!" Butler Li responded.
Abigail rolled her eyes skyward when she heard that. "Sigh. Why do you want to run some errands for me?" She couldn\'t understand why Butler Li was very enthusiastic about this. She wondered if he was a spy or something.
"Because your every task is very exciting! It is something I don\'t usually do. Furthermore, you are the future Lady of the House. I should curry your favor." Butler Li even chuckled after saying those words.
Abigail could only sigh helplessly. She didn\'t know whether to believe Butler Li or not. But for now, he was the perfect errand boy who could help her.
"Okay. I will message you the details. For now, I have to leave and go somewhere." Abigail said goodbye and hung up the phone.
Abigail didn\'t waste any more time as she headed back to her secret place. Upon arriving at the house, she immediately ran through the information she got from Dave, comparing them to the details she received from Kathleen and Old Man Xu.
She also used the computer hard drive to retrieve her files and records of Monica\'s movement in the past. She spent almost an hour just trying to coincide the information. At last! She found something useful!
Abigail glanced at her laptop. She was observing the photo of Monica talking to someone in a restaurant.
"Damn it! It\'s confirmed! Vincent and Monica met each other several times! The hotel… the restaurant… Vincent had the same itinerary based on Dave\'s information. Don\'t tell me… He is Monica\'s other man…"
