Chapter 65

My process was simple. All I did was flip over the sign and displayed the side without any words on it.
Mindy just stared at this scene. She walked quickly to my side and said angrily, “This is cheating, Freddie. This can’t be counted!!!”
“Why can’t this count?” I rolled my eyes at her. “I agreed to your request to hang it around my neck for an hour, but I never made any promise regarding which side of it I will show, did I?”
“You…!!”
Mindy was greatly angered. The hidden dagger once again appeared in her hand.
I was not afraid at all because I knew she could not do anything to me. I chuckled and said to her, “What’s wrong? A top-notch international assassin like you wouldn’t be someone who doesn’t keep her promise, would you? If you want to make a bet, you have to be prepared to lose!”
Mindy’s expression was colorful as she became quite upset. She clenched her teeth to say, “Fine. You win, but just wait. You’ll regret this one day.
She walked away in a huff after saying this.
As for me, I could not help but feel delighted with myself…
I thought Mindy Neal was unbeatable. She was supposed to be a top-notch assassin, right? Yet, she lost to me, Freddie Lang, in the end.
I threw the sign into the rubbish bin and went to school happily.
…
Mindy was present for the morning class.
However, she did not sit next to me, but in the last row of the classroom.
Every time I looked at her, she would give me a vicious look, as if she could not wait to skin me alive.
However, I was not afraid and I even felt a little happy with myself.
I was probably the only person in this world who could make a top-notch assassin clench her teeth in anger this way.
Halfway through class, I received a message from Yvette.
“Are you free tonight, Freddie?” I’d like to invite you to my house for a meal.”
I was in a good mood and I had nothing on that night, so I agreed immediately. “Sure.”
“That’s great. I’ll wait for you in front of your school this evening.” I could tell Yvette was happy from her words.
“Alright, no problem. See you tonight.”
“See you tonight.”
…
We had Physical Education class in the afternoon.
Just like last time, it was a free and easy session, so I played basketball with my classmates.
I was surprised to see Nadia and a few other girls watching by the side and pointing in my direction once in a while.
This made me quite uncomfortable.
While we were taking a short break, Nadia actually gave me a bottle of water.
Everyone in class knew what our relationship was and they immediately got rowdy when they saw this.
Nadia’s face turned red as she said coquettishly, “Just take it.”
“Alright.”
I took the bottle from her, but I wondered what was she trying to do.
Nadia said quite shyly at this point, “Can…can we take a walk?”
“Urm… Sure.” I hesitate before nodding in agreement. I turned to Chris to say, “Chris, can you substitute for a while?”
With that, I walked with her to a grassy spot next to the basketball court amidst everybody’s shouting.
Once we were far from them, I asked Nadia, “What do you want with me? You’re not trying to frame me again, are you?”
“You…” Nadia was embarrassed and angry. “Can’t I talk to you about anything else besides trying to frame you?”
“What do you want with me then?”
“I just wanted to thank you for stopping the school from expelling me. It was really nice,” Nadia said gratefully.
“Oh, I wondered what could this be about. Well, if there’s nothing else, I’ll be going back for basketball.” I did not want to get too close to Nadia in front of everybody.
“Stop right there!!” Nadia called out angrily.
“What?”
“You should stay away from that Mindy Neal. She may be beautiful, but she’s a rose with thorns.”
“Why would you say that?” I was quite surprised Nadia would get me all the way here just to say this.
“My gut tells me she’s dangerous. When I was in the washroom, I saw many strange tattoos on her. Anyway, just stay away from her. You won’t regret it.”
“Alright, thanks for the warning. I’ll remember it.” I may have agreed with Nadia about this verbally, but I was not truly bothered.
Mindy was an assassin and it was normal for her to have tattoos and weapons on her.
Instead, I would say the one that was strange would be Nadia.
Why would she care about what happened between me and another girl? Could she be jealous?
Or maybe, she liked me?
At this point, I nodded and replied, “Got it. Thank you for the warning. If there’s nothing else, I’ll go back to playing basketball.”
“There’s another thing…” Nadia hesitated.
“What is it?”
“It’s nothing. You should go back to play basketball.” Nadia did not say what she wanted to after hesitating for quite a while.
“Alright. Got it. Bye.”
With that, I returned to the basketball court.
…
When we were on our way back to class after Physical Education class, Chris kept winking at me. “What did Nadia say to you, Freddie? She doesn’t like you, does she? She’s giving you water and trying to chat with you.”
“It’s nothing. We just talked about random stuff.”
“Random stuff? Who would believe that? I’m pretty sure you went off looking for a quiet place to kiss.”
“You bastard. That’s nothing between us,” I said in exasperation.
“You’ve already slept together and you’re saying there’s nothing between both of you? To be honest, why not just ask her to be your girlfriend? She may use to be arrogant and bossy before, but since you’ve taught her a lesson, she’s much better now. Also, I noticed she seems to be interested in you. She’s always glancing at us during class.”
“She might be looking at you.” I chuckled.
“Get out of here. It’s not possible that she’s looking at me, she must be looking at you. How about if you just go get her. It’s better to keep the good stuff for yourself.”
“That’s enough. Stop telling me all this nonsense and let’s get back to class.”
…
After class was done in the afternoon, I changed my clothes and walked out of school.
I heard a clear female voice call out to me the moment I left the school gates.
I turned to see Yvette.
“When did you arrive? Have you waited long?”
“Not really.”
Yvette’s face was red when she spoke and her eyes were evasive as she did not dare look at me.
I knew that she must have been reminded of what happened before and was feeling embarrassed.
As for me, I made no mention of the past.
“Urm… Wait for me here a while. I need to buy something.”
“There’s no need to buy anything.” Yvette shook her head.
“That won’t do. It’s the first time I’m being a guest at your home. I need to bring a gift. Wait for me here. I’ll be back soon.” With that, I ran toward a small supermarket next door.
I was holding a bunch of gifts a few minutes later and a black plastic bag.
“Why did you buy so many things, Freddie? There’s really no need for it.”
“It isn’t a lot, anyway. Let’s get a taxi first.”
“Alright.”
We stopped a taxi by the road and headed for Yvette’s home.
Yvette was acting unnaturally in the taxi. It took her quite a while before getting the courage to say, “Freddie, I must have given you a lot of trouble in the past, haven’t I?”
When I heard this, I knew that she had finally thought things through.
I replied happily, “It wasn’t much trouble, but please remember this. Stay away from Macy Ziegler in the future. This woman is always up to something. Don’t be made use of by her.”
I knew very well how Macy operated.
She was a woman that favored power. After realizing who I was, she would stop at nothing to have me.
After failing to seduce me a few times, she had decided to get to me through Yvette.
First, she brainwashed Yvette to convince her to become my mistress. Once she succeeded, she would find an opportunity for herself.
She might get Yvette to d**g me or something.
Anyway, she was a foxy s**t who would do anything to get her way.
“Alright.” Yvette nodded. “When would you be arranging a job for me, Freddie?”
“Well, you might need to wait for that.”
I already had a plan in mind for her.
However, this was not the right time.
“Got it. Just make arrangements for me whenever it’s convenient for you.”
“Okay.”
While chatting, we reached Yvette’s home.
Yvette gave pointed out the direction and we came to a dirty and messy village in the city.
