Chapter 242 - 241: Devie
Upon hearing the woman's cold voice, Mr. Jin felt sad. He then removed his mask. The man behind the mask was actually Jin Jie. He then looked at the woman with a worried expression on his face.
But the woman was silent and ignored his words.
He then watched as she stood up from her seat and then left the office without giving him a glance.
She then boarded her exclusive elevator and pressed the button going up to her penthouse. As she reached the floor of her apartment, the elevator opened with a *ding* sound which broke the silence of the surroundings.
She then steadily walked out of the elevator as she entered her apartment. This elevator was the main entrance of her penthouse.
In contrast to her office, her apartment had a white and grey theme with white as the most dominant color. It gave off the cozy and luxurious vibe at the same time.
Her living room had a grey sofas and couch with a 52 inch smart OLED TV hanging on the wall.
A diamond chandelier was hanging up top of the twenty-feet ceiling of the living room. Most of the furniture in this apartment were bought from a famous auction house abroad and really cost a fortune.
From the living room, she walked directly into the Master's bedroom and then stripped off her clothes. She then grabbed the bathrobe lying on her bed and wrapped it around her body.
She then took off her mask and placed it on top of the bed. She then walked towards the bathroom to have a shower and a relaxing bath.
As she entered the bathroom, she looked at the huge vanity mirror inside the room.
Contrary to everyone's rumors about her, the face behind the mask was actually very beautiful like that of a goddess.
The skin had a healthy pinkish glow actually.
The face was very familiar to everyone. Especially those pair of green and amber eyes.
There were no trace of scars on her face that she had gotten on the accident almost two years ago.
Yes, this was Eunji...but what exactly happened to her?
She didn't die back then. She just almost die. Good thing Master Liu who came from the backdoor of the operating room on the right time and saved her when the doctor wanted to declare her dead.
Eunji didn't want to leave her children. She loved them so much...
There was no single day that she didn't miss them. Every day that she was separated from them felt like she was dying again and again because of loneliness.
The stolen photos she had of them were no longer enough for her to not miss them.
She wanted to be with her boys but she could not. At least not yet….
No one knew her reason for doing this. Even J had no idea at all.
What J thought was that she was mad at Nathan because he hurt her that's why she was doing this.
She chose to die in the past to gain her freedom. This time, she chose to die to free them from her.
Alas! She had to leave them behind to save them from danger.
Her enemies had gotten closer to her identity as a former assassin making the people around her to be in danger.
Over the last few months prior to the accident, she received an intel that someone had actually looked at the previous files about her past from the CIA archives.
Her trusted insider on CIA told her that someone had hacked on their database to obtain a very important confidential file about the annihilation of the mercenary union in the past.
She didn't know that such file had existed either.
So she asked him if she could get an original copy from the archives as she felt like the one in the database must have been already tampered by the hacker.
Only the last director of the CIA had the access to such information but the hacker was able to do it. Thus it alarmed the current director to make a move, too.
Good thing her informant was an expert in such things so he was able to got the original file document from the archive without anyone noticing.
When she got the actual copy, the report that Anastasia was not actually dead on the spot but had fallen on the cliff with severe injuries in the body was stated.
The body was not found but they believed that she was dead given the severe injury and the height of the cliff and the freezing water.
To calm the minds of the higher ups, they grabbed another person's body to be Ana's corpse.
What's more intriguing was that...a soldier named Nathaniel Johnson was also involved in it.
Mike told her the story about what happened to Ana and her parents and also based on the memories she had that night but it was far different from the original report she had read from the file.
She felt that there was a big conspiracy theory behind it and she wanted to unveil it.
She felt like she could not trust anyone. She even had doubts with Nathan's identity now.
Then...why did she leave the babies with Nathan if she was doubting him?
Because he's their father. And she thought that Nathan would not hurt his own children. She knew he's a good father. She could feel that even if he did something that hurt her.
She obviously could not bring them with her either or else they would die.
The accident came as a blessing in disguise for her to escape and pretend as dead. Well, the body was obviously not hers but someone else's.
Master Liu had grabbed a cadaver with exact body build as hers from another hospital and asked his apprentice who was a specialist to transform the dead's face like hers through make up transformation.
This way, they would believe that it was her.
Unless someone would do a DNA test on the body, they would not find out about it.
That way, those who had bad intentions would not be after her family while she was trying to uncover the truth.
She could not use her identity as Eunji by doing that. So she had to die.
She had to go back to the world she wanted to run away from in the past.
But she had to use another identity to do so.
If Ana was actually alive, then she could not go back and dress up as Ana. She had to be someone else again to make her plan successful.
So...she found this new identity as the DEVIL. Jin Jie and Angelina would call her Devie. Yes, her two assistants were actually J and Angelina.
Only after she could solve the mysteries and avenge the death of her parents could she go back to her children.
What's this sacrifice if it's all worth it in the end?
After she was done bathing for thirty minutes, she got inside her walk-in closet and changed into a comfortable outfit.
She then wore a black leather tights, black thigh length cardigan over her white top, winter boots and her gloves.
She added another layer of scarf on her neck and then she wore her gold mask back.
After she was done, she then grabbed her bag and walked out of her room and into the living room.
She then entered another room of her apartment which had a special hidden access and special lock. It needed a drop of her blood to open it.
It was so dark when she opened it but once she clapped her hands, hundreds to thousands of daggers and weapons arranged neatly in rows were piled up on shelves. Some bigger ones were hanging on the walls.
She approached the shelf with daggers and started to insert them one by one on her boots, sleeves, and the parts of her body where she could hide them.
It could be said that she's going to attend a war with the number of weapons she was bringing.
Yes, she was going to Paris to save someone very important to her.
After stocking up, she then walked out of the room all the way to the living room and boarded the elevator.
The elevator sounded *ding* when it opened as it reached her private garage where her cars were parked in rows.
She grabbed a key from the key box and then press the unlock button on the key. Seconds after, one of the cars ignited to life.
She chose to drive her customized McLaren P1 which was worth more than a million dollars. This was actually the cheapest from her car collection.
After boarding, she started the car and sped off to the airport where her private plane was waiting for her.
As soon as the car sped on the highway, it got the attention of the car enthusiasts driving the highway with her but she didn't mind.
As soon as she arrived at the tarmac, she got off the car and gave the key to one of her trusted subordinate and she boarded the plane.
Instead of going to the VIP lounge to have a rest, Eunji went into the cockpit where her co-pilot was waiting for her.
After making some preparations, she and the co-pilot started to fly the private jet with ease.
