Having realized what had happened, Erica rubbed her aching temples and began to devise a solution for the problem at hand.
The most important thing was to comfort the family of the two members who had died in duty. In addition to giving them compensation, Erica and the other members vowed revenge and offered their full support to the police so they could catch the murderers.
That night, Erica was busy until two o'clock in the morning. After somehow managing to squeeze in a shower, she wanted to call Matthew, but she was afraid that he had already gone to bed. As she was worried about disturbing his sleep, she decided to leave it until the next morning.
What she didn't know, however, was that Matthew had contacted her bodyguards at three o'clock in the morning to ask about her. In fact, he didn't go to bed until he was sure that she was asleep.
The next day, in the Immortal Killer Sect of K Country
A woman dressed in black leather clothes and a pair of sunglasses stepped into a villa. When her subordinates saw her, they all stood straight and saluted her. "Miss Xia, here is the latest news. The boss of the Violet Eagles has shown up on our radar!"
"Yes, our informants have told us to expect an attack tonight."
"I heard that the woman leading them is very smart. Apparently, she's the one who brought about the successfully expansion of the Violet Eagles!"
The woman glanced at her men with impatience. "What are you so afraid of?"
"Well, if the Violet Eagles join forces with the royal army of K Country, we won't stand a chance against them!"
"Yes, we had to retreat last time because the royal army got involved. Otherwise, we would have destroyed the Violet Eagles with ease!"
The woman sat on her chair, which loosely resembled a throne, lost in thought.
The royal family was the most powerful family in K Country. As such, it would be futile to even think about going up against them. Not even in her wildest dreams did she expect the Violet Eagles to have anything to do with the royal army.
After a while, she spoke, as everyone looked at her with great expectation. "There's no need to be afraid! I'll take some of our best men and meet with their boss tonight!"
A fat man said, "I heard that they have three bosses. All women, and they are quite powerful."
"Yes, I've heard that as well. There are three women, but only two of them are mainly in charge. They don't always stay in the base camp of the Violet Eagles," another man said.
Noreen took off her sunglasses, revealing her face to the people there. The men swallowed nervously. After all, their boss was so beautiful and charming.
"So what? They're just three measly women!" Noreen snorted irritably. She wasn't too amused with the idea of another woman being more powerful than her. After all, she was the leader of the most powerful force in K Country—the Immortal Killer Sect!
Everyone shut their mouths. They all knew that Noreen was good at hiding her true strength. In fact, she could even beat ten men all by herself!
That night, in the night club where everyone often gathered, when the people of the Immortal Killer Sect were waiting impatiently, a few minions of the Violet Eagles showed up in the club. However, none of the three bosses had shown up.
Any person in that place could tell that the people of the Violet Eagles were looking down upon the Immortal Killer Sect. An hour later, a woman in gray casual clothes swaggered into the tension-filled private room.
Out of pure coincidence, the two women hadn't run into each other yet because Noreen was in the bathroom.
When she came back, Noreen heard the familiar voice of a woman before she entered the private room. "Tell your boss to come here now! Tell her, Erma Huo is here!"
Noreen was shocked to hear that voice. 'Erma Huo?'
Suddenly, she came upon a realization.
Noreen quietly asked the bodyguard beside her, "Didn't you say that the ones in charge of the Violet Eagles are mainly two women and they're not often seen in their base camp?" The bodyguard replied, "Yes, Miss Xia."
The discomfort in her heart increased. 'Could it be Erica Li? Is Chantel Ye also involved?' Noreen became more flustered when she thought of them.
Meanwhile, the atmosphere in the private room was just starting to intensify. A man from the Immortal Killer Sect snorted irritably. "How dare you come in here and make demands! Our boss has been waiting for you for more than an hour. You've just arrived. Can't you be more patient?"
One of the men from the Immortal Killer Sect quickly left the private room. He was just about to fetch Noreen when unexpectedly he ran into her just outside the door. "Boss!" he said.
Noreen, who was standing there panic-stricken after she made the dreadful discovery, was taken by surprise. Not knowing how to handle the situation, she turned around and walked away without a word.
Her hands shook as she picked up her phone and called Michel. When the phone was connected, she quickly mumbled in a low voice, "We have a big problem. The one behind the Violet Eagles in K Country is none other than Erica Li!"
Michel was hoping to avoid getting involved with Erica because he didn't want to mess with the Huo and Li families, but now it seemed as though it was bound to happen, despite his wishes.
Michel suddenly stood up from his chair. "What?"
"I don't have the full details yet. Yesterday, the Violet Eagles announced that they were going to destroy our sect. Today I came here to accept their challenge, but the voice I heard just now is Erica's! I am certain of it!"
"Retreat with your men right now! Remember, don't let Erica see you!"
"Okay!"
Meanwhile, Erica realized that the boss of the Immortal Killer Sect was just outside the room when she overheard the bodyguard just now.
As she happened to be standing near the exit, she walked out of the door and noticed a familiar figure.
Without hesitation, Erica pointed towards the retreating woman and shouted, "You over there, hold on!"
When Noreen turned around and saw Erica behind her, her first reaction was to run!
However, as soon as Noreen ran towards the exit of the club, Erica began to chase after her.
Erica never dared to act so rashly when Matthew wasn't by her side before. However, now that Matthew and even the royal army of K Country were backing her, what else could Erica possibly be afraid of? She would have missed this golden opportunity to avenge Orange's death if she had hesitated even for a moment.
Fortunately, she was wearing a pair of special combat boots today. She bolted in the direction of the woman with great ease and comfort.
Within seconds, chaos ensued and the people started panicking when the chase started. The other people in the club screamed and cursed at them as they made their way out of the club.
Erica followed her all the way to an alley just outside the night club. The woman in front of her had no choice but to stop because it was too dark to see anything in the alley.
When Erica came to a halt, she stood still, panting and trying to catch her breath.
"Stop running. You can't run away from me!" The crowd in the night club might have made it difficult for Erica to catch the woman, but now she could easily catch up with her.
The woman who had her back facing Erica, didn't utter a single word. Erica stepped forward and wanted to turn her around by her shoulders to see who she was.
However, she didn't expect that the other woman would attack her directly, so she had to fend off the woman's attack first.
When Erica came face to face with the woman, she only noticed the sunglasses on the woman's face. She tried to take a closer look at the woman's face, but her moves were quick and fierce.
The bodyguards who followed Erica would have contained Noreen, but Erica had lost her temper by then. She looked at the bodyguards angrily and growled, "Get out of the way. I want to fight her alone!"
If Erica couldn't beat this woman, then all the techniques she had learned and practiced in the past three years would have been in vain.
The bodyguards immediately took a few steps back and encircled her in a defensive stance, in case Noreen tried to hurt Erica.
Erica received a strong blow to her arm; the pain almost forced the tears out of her eyes. In a furious outburst, she shook the pain off and charged at Noreen. During the fight, Erica landed an open-handed smack that left Noreen staggering backwards in pain.
The sound was as loud as thundering cracking in the night. The bodyguards couldn't help but marvel in their hearts, 'That slap is definitely going to leave a mark on the other woman's face for at least a few days.'
