Living With My Lady Boss by Blue Silver novel Chapter 1760

Wilbur scowled as he watched Greg leave, disgust flaring up in his chest. Despite not wanting to meddle in the Jonan clan's affairs, they had come looking for him and Wilbur had no choice but to pray that Madam Marie would eventually reach out to him to talk about purchasing more items from her personal collection.

At the same time, Demetra and Miyah were in the middle of dinner in a restaurant in Aidementon. Miyah glanced at the plane ticket in her hand, setting it down on the table before cutting a piece off her steak to eat.

Despite the two of them having agreed not to discuss the flight, Miyah could not hold back her curiosity and asked, "Do I really need to leave? Aren't you powerful enough for me to stay by your side? Who are you going up against, anyway? Why are you so scared? I've never seen you like this before."

Demetra, who had never been good at expressing his feelings, set down his fork coldly. "Do you really want to know?"

"Yes, I do. We promised to be together for the rest of our lives, but now you're trying to send me away," Miyah said.

"It's only temporary. I'll come looking for you the second things are settled," Demetra replied.

Demetra's calmness only made Miyah all the more anxious. She knew what he was like— the more dire the situation was, the calmer Demetra would appear. This meant that the situation at hand must be a real pickle.

"You still haven't told me who you're going up against."

"Greensource Corp."

"What? You?"

Demetra handed Miyah a napkin calmly. "I have no choice. Mister Jeckle's given me a grade B mission to kill Wilbur Penn, a Dashan guy who's out to investigate Greensource Corp. I might be at peak Sanctuary level, but this man is even more powerful than me. I lost."

"What? You lost?" Miyah said, widening her eyes in shock and defiance. "But you said you'd never lose!"

"I'm sorry," said Demetra. "I lied to you in the past. I can't defeat every destroyer. Anyways, Wilbur Penn could have killed me, but he let me go. You would never see me again if it were not for his kindness. I owe him my life, and because of that I cannot kill him."

Miyah finally understood then that Demetra indeed had no choice. Wilbur was a man of mercy and had chosen not to kill Demetra in the end.

Thus, Demtera had no choice but to leave. This would attract Greensource Corp's attention for sure, as there were only two choices for an assassin: to finish their mission or die.
