Chapter 611: Chapter 554: James Flory
In the early hours around 1am, at the Postpartum Center, a faint cry was followed by an even louder one.

And then another cry joined in, even louder than the first.

As if competing with each other, the cries grew more and more intense.

Kevin Clark lay in bed, just about to gently pull his hand from Charlotte Lane’s neck, when she sat up.

Kevin Clark got up as well and kissed her, “You sleep, I’ll go check on them.”

“Let’s go together.” Charlotte Lane swept her hair back.

As the two got out of bed, the nanny was already changing the diapers. Aunt Cruz also came out.

Kevin Clark picked up his daughter after the diaper change, and Charlotte Lane picked up the other and said, “You all go to sleep. Aunt Cruz, you go rest.”

“I’ll stay with you.” Aunt Cruz replied.

“It’s fine,” Charlotte Lane said, “That’s how I took care of Charles Amos too, don’t worry.”

Upon mentioning this, Aunt Cruz’s heart ached. At that time, Charlotte Lane was still just a child herself, but she had been taking care of Charles Amos all along.

She waited until the children’s cries lessened a little before returning to her room to rest.

The nanny also returned to her room.

Kevin Clark and Charlotte Lane each held a child until both stopped crying before putting them back in their cribs.

“Do you think they’re still cute at this time?” Charlotte Lane asked quietly.

“Our children are of course adorable,” Kevin Clark replied as if his brain had been poisoned by emotion, “No matter what.”

Charlotte Lane: “……”

“Isabella Lane now looks more and more like you did when you were young,” Kevin Clark said softly as he looked at little Isabella Lane, “The first time I met you, you looked just about like this.”

Charlotte Lane looked at Kevin Clark.

“Of course, Madam is more beautiful than her,” Kevin Clark said as he looked at her.

Charlotte Lane smiled.

There was only one dim lamp in the room, making everything around them seem gentle and soft, warming their hearts.

Kevin Clark hugged Charlotte Lane and kissed her, “Let’s go to sleep.”

“Alright.”

As they held hands, ready to return to bed, Aunt Cruz came out of her room again.

Charlotte Lane looked at her, “Aunt Cruz, what’s wrong?”

“I can’t sleep,” Aunt Cruz looked at the two children, “I have to see them to be able to sleep peacefully.”

Kevin Clark and Charlotte Lane both smiled, and Charlotte Lane walked over to her. Just as she was about to speak, she suddenly heard a faint noise.

Her footsteps paused, and Kevin Clark’s expression suddenly became cold.

Aunt Cruz looked towards the direction of the balcony.

Their room was on the third floor, and there were guards in the periphery.

But if someone was skilled enough, it would not be impossible for them to sneak past the guards and enter.

Aunt Cruz turned her body towards the balcony.

Kevin Clark gently tapped Charlotte Lane’s hand twice and then let her go.

Three seconds later, Kevin Clark went forward and fought with the person who came in from the balcony. Aunt Cruz followed closely to help.

Aunt Cruz had grown up with Sophie Ortiz in the Ortiz Family since childhood. After Sophie Ortiz got married, she followed her to the Lane Family.

Having trained in martial arts since a young age, she used to be responsible for protecting Sophie Ortiz, and later Charlotte Lane and Olivia Lane.

There was no light on the balcony, so they could only rely on the moonlight outside to see the figure of the intruder.

The intruder was dressed in black tactical gear, with their face covered.

From their body shape, it appeared to be a woman.

She was very skilled, undoubtedly a professional killer, even one with Dark Web Killer Rankings-level ability.

If it had been Aunt Cruz fighting alone, she might have been at a disadvantage.

But her opponent was Kevin Clark.

Even two such opponents together would be no match for Kevin Clark.

The noise from the fight made the two children cry again.

The two nannies came out again, and seeing the scene outside, they both screamed in fear. However, they were silenced by Charlotte Lane’s stern gaze.

“Return to your rooms.”

“The children…” one of the nannies said.

“Don’t worry, just go back.”

The two quickly returned to their rooms and locked the doors.

Charlotte Lane glanced at the crying children and ignored them, instead walking towards the balcony area.

Sure enough, the next second when Kevin Clark dislocated the intruder’s arm, a mechanism in her wrist sprang open, aimed at Charlotte Lane.

“Lila Campbell.” Kevin Clark called to her. His tone was one of complete confidence that she could dodge it, simply a reminder.

But Aunt Cruz instinctively tried to block it with her own body, but didn’t have time.

Charlotte Lane calmly sidestepped, and several silver needles pierced into the wooden shelf behind her.

These were acupuncture needles, and due to the mechanism, their short-range power was not to be underestimated.

Aunt Cruz stood still, relieved.

Kevin Clark kicked the intruder in the stomach, sending her flying into the wall, then moved forward to choke her neck.

As he choked her, the cloth from her face fell off.

By the moonlight, he glanced at the exposed face.

Aunt Cruz’s cold voice masked surprise: “Morgan Mia?”

Not only that, but Charlotte Lane also saw something that fell from the intruder.

A paper-like object with a red flame on it.

James Flory.

The second-ranked dark web’s new hitman.

There is an unwritten rule for hitman rankings: to climb the ranks, each hitman must leave their mark on every job they do.

To tell everyone that this was done by me.

Leave their name.

Obviously, this card-like paper was meant to make a name for herself after successfully killing someone here tonight.

After all, a hitman on a mission was bound to shed blood and take lives.

She had come tonight to kill Charlotte Lane.

“Kevin Clark, don’t do it here.” Charlotte Lane said.

Kevin Clark almost choked the intruder to death, but upon hearing Charlotte Lane’s voice, he loosened his grip.

Morgan Mia sat on the ground against the wall, rubbing her neck and catching her breath.

Charlotte Lane didn’t get closer but stood still and said, “James Flory? Here to kill me?”

Morgan Mia didn’t speak, but the look in her eyes answered Charlotte Lane’s question.

Yes, she had come to kill her.

“Because I married your beloved Kevin Clark?” Charlotte Lane said slowly, “Because Kevin Clark expelled you from Ryan Easton and threw you out of Clark Family and into the slums of F Continent because of me? Or do you think it’s because I blocked your way to marry into Clark Manor and enjoy Kevin Clark’s tenderness?”

Kevin Clark furrowed his brows.

Morgan Mia still didn’t speak, her usually obedient face perfect for deception, but when filled with hatred, it was covered in ferocity.

“How foolish.” Charlotte Lane mocked, “Out of thousands of paths, you chose a dead-end. Should I say you have a simple mind and an overdeveloped body? You’ll always think of solving problems violently.”

“You won’t be so smug for long, I’ll kill you sooner or later.” Morgan Mia finally spoke the first words of the day in a hoarse voice.

“Do you think you can leave here unharmed?”

Morgan Mia scoffed, “Why not?”

“Aside from everything else,” Charlotte Lane said, “even if you escaped today, do you think you can kill me?”

“Kevin Clark can’t protect you forever.” Morgan Mia said.

Charlotte Lane chuckled lightly and said unhurriedly, “Allow me to reintroduce myself: I am the Pavilion Master of Hundred Demons Pavilion, commanding six Ghost Kings of Hundred Demons Pavilion, and the eternal number one on the hitman rankings that you can never surpass.”

Revealing her identity… that meant the person before her eyes wouldn’t be able to leave alive.

Morgan Mia’s pupils suddenly narrowed: “What a joke, just because you say it doesn’t make it true! Impossible! That’s impossible!”

No one paid her any more attention.

She mumbled in disbelief for a while, then looked at the balcony and suddenly ran away through the window.

Charlotte Lane thought to herself: Finally, she left.

Kevin Clark glanced at Charlotte Lane and jumped out the window as well.

It wasn’t convenient to deal with her here, so he let her go outside and deal with her there.

“Lila, are you okay?” Aunt Cruz asked.

“I’m fine,” Charlotte Lane replied. “How are you?”

Aunt Cruz shook her head: “Third Master is too powerful. I feel like I mainly hit the air and even hindered him a bit.”

Charlotte Lane smiled and then looked at the needles on the shelf.

Aunt Cruz followed her gaze and reached to pull them out.

Charlotte Lane stopped her, “They might be poisoned.”

Aunt Cruz’s hand retracted, “Right, I forgot about it. Morgan Mia’s family knows medicine.”

Charlotte Lane found a pair of disposable gloves, carefully removed the needles, and stored them. She planned to research them later at the Research Institute.

Then she washed her hands and put the two children to bed with Aunt Cruz.

As soon as they fell asleep, Kevin Clark returned from the window.

Charlotte Lane glanced at Kevin Clark’s expression and asked, “Is it settled?”

“Yes,” Kevin Clark said, “Yoshua Archer is handling the follow-up matters.”

“Keep an eye on her power, don’t let it stir up any waves,” Charlotte Lane said.

“Okay.”

“Go take a shower and sleep,” Charlotte Lane told him.

“Okay.”

Kevin Clark went to take a shower, while Charlotte Lane gazed at the two children with a cold, enigmatic expression.

The newly emerging hitman on the Dark Web fell just like that.
