Chapter 51

"Nolan Jenkins, what is he to you?"

Jack suddenly asked.

The question hit Freya like a clap of thunder.

She raised her head, the eyes that had been full of killing intent and defiance now tinged with shock. Freya stared at Jack intently. "How do you know...?"

Nolan was her teacher, and also her father.

And the current leader of the Kogara faction.

Very few people even knew he existed.

How did Jack know?

Jack's lips curved slightly, the burning cigarette's glow flickering in the darkness, illuminating his chiseled profile.

"The new leader of the Kogara faction, Nolan is not only outstanding in ninjutsu, but his swordsmanship is extremely formidable."

Jack exhaled a puff of smoke, his tone as flat and dull as if he were reading a boring resume. "The technique you used just now was very similar to his, so I guessed you must be a ninja he trained."

Freya bit her lip tightly, not denying it.

"Looks like... I guessed right."

Jack's lips curved slightly upward.

He looked at Freya. "Tell me, who sent you to kill me?"

Freya looked up at Jack, said nothing, only showing a disdainful, cold smile.

As a ninja, she had been prepared to die the moment she failed her mission.

How could she possibly betray her employer?

This was her dignity as a ninja!

Right then, Freya suddenly shut her eyes tight and bit down hard with her back teeth.

Hidden deep in her mouth was a tiny poison capsule. This method of secret suicide was one of the highest-level secrets of the Kogara faction, known only to specially trained ninjas. Once bitten, death would come within three seconds, beyond any possibility of rescue.

A very subtle, crisp sound rang out in the silent room.

However, just as the capsule was about to burst and the poison spill out, a hand like an iron clamp seized her cheeks with lightning speed!

Freya's eyes widened, her pupils contracting violently.

Jack reached out and clamped down on her jaw, forcing her mouth open.

Then his slender fingers drove mercilessly into her mouth, pinched the capsule that had not been completely crushed, and tore it out.

A black capsule, caught between Jack's fingers, was pulled from Freya's mouth.

"Want to die?"

Jack casually threw the capsule on the ground and crushed it under his foot, looking coldly at the terrified Freya. "This whole suicide-by-poison routine is outdated."

Freya felt as if struck by lightning. She collapsed to the ground and stared at the crushed capsule, her entire body trembling uncontrollably.

How is this possible?

This method of secret suicide was one of the highest-level secrets of the Kogara faction, known only to specially trained ninjas. Outsiders could not possibly detect it, much less react in such a short time!

This man, how does he know? What kind of monster is he?

"Don't look at me like I'm a monster."

Jack stood up, looking down at her, his tone tinged with mockery. "I've seen ninjas much more ruthless than you."

"All your tricks are just cheap parlor tricks in front of someone who has seen the real thing."

Jack spoke, then squatted down in front of Freya. Studying her beautiful face and curvaceous figure, he sighed softly. "You're so pretty, why become an assassin?"

"Tell me, who sent you to kill me?"

"My patience is limited. Don't test it anymore, or the consequences will be more than you can bear."

Hearing this, Freya only stubbornly raised her head, gently biting her bloodless lips, forcing out a sentence through clenched teeth. "I won't betray my employer."

Her voice was cold and clear, carrying a resolute tone.

Seeing her still stubbornly resisting, Jack's eyes suddenly turned cold, and the last trace of patience in them completely dissipated.

Without any further words, he reached out and grabbed the collar of her black ninja outfit. With a crisp sound, the tough fabric tore like paper in his hands!

Black scraps of fabric were scattered on the ground. In an instant, her alluring body was completely exposed under the cold moonlight, glowing with a delicate, enticing sheen.

"Ah!"

Freya let out a terrified cry, her face instantly turning deathly pale.

She instinctively tried to curl up to cover herself, but she was too weak from her earlier injuries. She could only tremble as she held her arms across her chest, her eyes full of shame and despair, screaming in a trembling voice, "You... what do you want to do?"

Jack made no further moves. He simply looked down at her, his gaze calm, without a trace of improper desire, instead carrying a cold insight into worldly affairs.

"Why so nervous?"

Jack spoke lightly, his voice low, yet like a scalpel, precisely cutting open the most hidden fear in her heart.

He leaned down slightly, moving closer to Freya's beautiful, fear-twisted face, his tone calm to the point of being horrifying. "For ordinary female ninjas, in order to strip away their emotions and turn them into perfect killing machines, their trainers will ruthlessly take their virginity the moment they come of age. That is the mandatory 'severing of emotions and desires' training in the Kogara faction, isn't it?"

Hearing this, Freya's struggling movements suddenly froze.

Her pupils trembled violently, a chill running all the way down her spine as she looked at the man before her in disbelief.

This was the darkest, dirtiest secret of the Kogara faction - outsiders could not possibly know it!

But this man not only knew her lineage, but also knew her method of suicide; now, he even knew this extremely secret humiliation in such detail!

He... who is he exactly?

Jack looked at her, his lips curving slightly upward, and drew in a light breath near Freya.

"But on you, I can smell the scent that only a virgin would have."

Jack's voice was low and magnetic, particularly clear in the silent night. "In other words, you've never had sex."

Hearing this, Freya's violently trembling body suddenly froze.

Her pupils contracted sharply, and a new wave of cold sank into her bones as she stared at the man before her in disbelief.

This was her deepest secret. Jack was right - every female ninja would have her virginity taken when she came of age, to strip away their emotions and turn them into killing machines.

But Freya's teacher was her father.

That was why she had been able to keep her virginity, but this was something no third person should have known.

"You... who exactly are you?" Freya's voice was already trembling.

"If you don't tell me what I want to know, I cannot guarantee I will not help you complete this overdue training."Jack said.
