Although Katelyn couldn’t pinpoint why the T Organization seemed to consistently target her, she was convinced that they were enemies.

It was now clear that Alfy was somehow closely linked to this organization.

As Alfy reached for her coffee cup, her pupils narrowed slightly, a sign of discomfort, and her face bore an expression of panic.

She cleared her throat and asked, “What’s the matter, boss? Why are you bringing this up?”

Alfy’s jittery reaction only solidified Katelyn’s suspicions.

“Tell me. How are you connected to the T Organization?”

Katelyn’s presence was imposing, like a massive mountain pressing down on Alfy, making it difficult for her to catch her breath.

Alfy trembled slightly, intimidated.

Was this imposing figure really her charismatic mentor? She seemed more like the female version of Vincent at that moment.

Alfy bit her lip, her eyes flickering with internal conflict. She wanted to be transparent with Katelyn, but her uncle had sternly advised her against revealing their ties.

“Look, I can’t divulge that information, but I assure you, the people from the T Organization are genuinely good people.”

Katelyn leaned back in her chair, a hint of sarcasm flashing in her eyes upon hearing Alfy’s words.

She smirked coldly and responded,

“The T Organization is renowned globally as an assassin group. They’ll do anything for money. I’ve survived several attempts on my life by them. Would you still consider them good?”

Alfy’s eyes widened in shock.

“Assassination attempts? An assassin group? What are you even saying? I don’t understand.”

How could the T Organization Katelyn described be so drastically different from the one Alfy knew?

Her uncle was admittedly a bit quick-tempered, yet he was devoted to charitable causes, aiding numerous destitute orphans.

How could it be as Katelyn depicted?

Katelyn carefully watched Alfy’s expression and noticed that her surprise didn’t seem fake.

But with such a direct connection to the T Organization, how could Alfy be unaware of their actual dealings?

Katelyn picked up her coat and stood up, looming over Alfy with a strong presence.

“I am fated to be the enemy of the T Organization. While I am unsure of your connections to them, I cannot maintain peace with those who befriend my enemies.”

Alfy’s complexion turned ghostly white, her eyes welling up with tears.

“Wait, you’re not going to leave me behind, are you?” Was she about to lose her mentor from this moment forward?

Alfy looked utterly desolate, reminiscent of a small kitten Katelyn had once saved.

The sight of her tearful gaze was nearly enough to melt Katelyn’s heart.

However, remembering the times she had narrowly escaped death because of the T Organization, Katelyn steeled herself.

“I’m sorry, but I must draw the line here. Concerning my identity, I trust you’ll continue to keep it secret. Exposure could put me in severe danger.”

Alfy dabbed at her tears and nodded emphatically, her voice shaky.

“Don’t worry. I’ll guard your secret. Are you sure you don’t want me as your apprentice anymore?”

Katelyn sighed helplessly to herself.

The mere existence of the T Organization was a looming threat, and now, knowing Alfy’s connection to it, she could no longer afford to keep her close.

Without responding to Alfy’s query, Katelyn turned and walked away.

She consciously avoided the sight of Alfy’s tears, worried that any further observation might weaken her heart.

Alfy remained seated in the cafe, watching Katelyn’s retreating figure, her tears cascading like beads from a snapped necklace.

She had never expected that her relationship with her mentor would end so soon after meeting her.

Then, a figure dressed in black took the seat across from Alfy.

The woman’s sharp features and slightly upturned eyes, paired with full red lips, suggested a fox-like allure. A vivid red tattoo decorated her neck, depicting blooming red spider lilies upon closer inspection. The woman’s lips twisted into a malicious smile.

The woman smiled. “Now you see her true colors. She’s heartless, selfish, and only looks out for herself.”

Alfy, her voice thick with emotion, responded, “That’s not true! She isn’t like that.”

The hatred in the woman’s eyes intensified. “How much do you really know her after just a few years? You’ve enjoyed your freedom. It’s time to return with me.” N?w ?ovel chapt?rs are published on find[?]ovel.net

Defiance flickered in Alfy’s eyes. “No way!”

As she spoke, she pulled out a pouch of white powder from her pocket and flung it toward the woman.
