Chapter 109
Zoe had done a great job of hiding her true identity. And Shawn had tried over and over to catch her in the act of Firefox, but he’d failed every single time. But Shawn was dead certain in his heart that Zoe was Firefox.
It was a gut feeling, a kind of innate sense of an enemy Shawn had been battling for years. It was an understanding. Just by knowing her battlefield strategies and observing her actions and methods, Shawn could see right through her.
So, even though all the evidence pointed to the fat that Zoe had nothing to do with Firefox, Shawn had a new set of standards in his mind.
He thought. “Firefox, no matter how deep you bury your fox tail, I will strip away your disguise piece by piece until you have nowhere to hide. Shawn’s gloved hands clasped lightly. His piercing gaze locked onto Zoe’s eyes, as if he could see straight into her thoughts.
The intensity in his stare was crackling like a storm in the air. Even the surrounding recruits and senior officers near Shawn could feel the tension After a while, Shawn fmally spoke lightly directed at Zoe, “Young lady, have some self–respect.”
Hearing Shawn’s distant tone, Zoe’s brow slightly raised. She grinned. Not only did she not back down, but she teased even more. “But if I have self- respect, then I won’t be able to sleep with you
In front of so many people. Zoe talked about sleeping with Shawn as if it were an honor. This was Shawn’s military camp, not Zoe’s battlefield, and all the soldiers around were Shawn’s mėn.
What Zoe said was no different from a few months ago when Shawn had his men send her a message on the battlefield. Back then, Shawn said, The battlefield is our matchmaker, and the smoke of war is our engagement
“If you lose to me again, please agree to my proposal and marry

That day, Zoe had feh utterly humiliated. It was that very statement that drove her to abandon her title as the mercenary queen and take on the mission to assassinate Shawn.
At this moment, seeing Shawn’s face suddenly turn cold and dark, Zoe thought he was also extremely humiliated by her words. Her grin grow even wider.
Little did she know, Shawn’s stern face was simply because of her lack of self–love. If she were to act this way with other men in the future, Shawn could guarantee that he would snap that man’s neck
Without another word, Shawn turned on his heel and walked away, lus face still cold.
The recruits, along with some nearby veterans, couldn’t help but give Zoe a big thumbs–up.
They thought. This girl is really something. She teased the legendary warnok in public and wasn’t intimidated by his aura. Instead, she said so many provocative things to him.
The most surprising thing is that Shawn changed his usual behavior, didn’t say anything more, didn’t blame her, and just walked away. Once a female soldier merely expressed her love to Shawn by bowing her head, she was kicked out of the camp.
What’s going on with Shawn today? Is it the end of the world or something?
Among the crowd, Philip witnessed everything. His eyes slightly narrowed. He let out a low chuckle and chose to remain silent.
The first day of training was over, and everyone could go home to rest or choose to stay overnight in the military camp
Zoe wanted to go home. Without even running into Philip, Zoe left the military camp. She was just about to hail a taxi when she was stopped by the sharp braking sound of a supercar.
The person who got out of the car was none other than Henry. This time, he came alone. He said as he approached, “Zoe, I sincerely want to invite you to join the association. I hope you’ll accept”
Zoe raised her eyebrows and returned to her different attitude. She replied, “Didn’t I make myself clear before?”
