CHAPTER 452: BREAKFAST WITH A QUEEN

Kaka gently stroked her sweat-dampened face, silently holding her in his arms. The expression in his eyes was one she couldn’t decipher; he never allowed her to understand him.

After a long silence...

"Go take a shower. You and Muhan haven’t seen each other in a while," Kaka said gently, his voice having regained its calm.

Wushuang hooked his chin, smiling wickedly. "Want to bathe together?"

"Trying to harass me?"

"You’ve been harassed by me since you were nineteen. You’re practically old news now." Wushuang got off him and hopped off the bed toward the bathroom. Kaka went to the adjoining guest room to wash up.

Kaka finished quickly. He kept a set of Wushuang’s clothes at his place. He took them out of the closet and placed them on the bed. He knocked on the bathroom door. When the sound of water stopped, Kaka said, "Wushuang, your clothes are on the bed."

"Got it."

When Kaka went downstairs, breakfast was being served. Zhou Muhan was already in the dining room eating. Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Black Tortoise, and Vermilion Bird were all there. The five of them were chatting happily about something.

After greetings were exchanged, Zhou Muhan asked, "Where’s Wushuang?"

"She just woke up. She’s showering," Kaka said briefly, eating elegantly. The four Guardians’ eyes widened. White Tiger asked, "Nanfeng, did the woman you brought back stay the night in your room?"

"Is there a problem?" Kaka countered. This wasn’t the first time Wushuang had stayed in his room, but the previous times, she had come to London secretly to see him and left before dawn. The four of them had never encountered it.

Seeing his casual, matter-of-fact counter-question, as if he were saying, *that woman is my wife, what’s wrong with her sleeping in my room?* Everyone, except Zhou Muhan, was shocked. It turned out the Boss was also a man who was easily swayed by beauty.

All that integrity from the past was a facade, a total facade.

Black Tortoise asked, "Nanfeng, what’s your relationship with that woman?"

"Her name is Wushuang," Kaka said coolly, frowning at the four of them, a hint of warning in his smile. "Stop calling her ’that woman.’"

*The Boss is angry...*

How unusual.

What kind of woman could make the Boss so protective?

Azure Dragon ate his breakfast solemnly. After the initial shock, he wasn’t too surprised. He was the most composed of them. Vermilion Bird was a woman and was very close to Fang Jiaqi. She couldn’t help but ask, "Nanfeng, your girlfriend is Jiaqi, right? Why are you with..."

She struggled to find a word to describe the situation. This was wrong. Kaka wasn’t the type to mess with people’s feelings. They had all seen how well he treated Fang Jiaqi. But why suddenly with another woman... They truly didn’t understand.

And they were utterly shocked.

Kaka smiled, reminding them, "You all know what to say and what not to say, right? I don’t need to spell it out."

Their heads bobbed vigorously. *Of course.* Who would want to hurt Fang Jiaqi?

Zhou Muhan silently ate his breakfast, reading the newspaper. Today’s paper reported the gun murder at the Fire Phoenix Casino last night. The King of Gambling from Las Vegas and the European King of Gambling were both killed. There was more than one killer, and one of them was an East Asian woman in a white top and black pants. The newspaper called her the **’Oriental Doll,’** describing her as exceptionally beautiful and extremely ruthless.

Their gossiping shifted from Kaka’s rumored affair. Azure Dragon said, "While the two Kings of Gambling had many enemies, who would be so intent on killing them? The technique clearly belongs to a professional assassin."

Black Tortoise and White Tiger nodded. The technique was very swift, clean, and left no trace.

Kaka picked up the newspaper and glanced at it, smiling slightly. *As expected, she wore a skin mask.* Wushuang must have torn the mask off after the kill, which is why no one recognized her when she played around the casino.

The London police were in for a headache.

Vermilion Bird scoffed, "The police won’t solve this case. They’ll be forced to face pressure from all sides, and I think they’ll eventually ask for our help. Nanfeng, should we get started now?"

Zhou Muhan raised an eyebrow at Kaka and smiled, shaking his head. Kaka said, "Just investigate the assassination of the King of Gambling from Las Vegas and report it. Forget about Field’s case. No need to waste time."

They were all intelligent people. Hearing Kaka’s words, they understood. White Tiger asked, "A familiar hand?"

Kaka was about to answer when Wushuang descended the stairs with breathtaking grace. She was still in a white top and black pants. She was devoted to those colors: clean and crisp. Her hair was simply tied into a ponytail. She wore no makeup, yet her skin was snow-white, and her purple eyes sparkled alluringly. Just walking down, she exuded a dazzling, seductive charm that stunned the room. She was already a beauty that eclipsed all others.

Her grace was unparalleled, her beauty was supreme.

Black Tortoise, White Tiger, and the others were mesmerized.

*So beautiful.*

Especially those lively, charming purple eyes, which seemed to speak volumes. They had only ever seen one person with such purple eyes, and that was just a fleeting glimpse: the former Mafia Godfather. The moment they thought of her name:

Wushuang.

Mo Wushuang.

Everyone immediately pieced together her identity. No wonder Zhou Muhan had warned them not to provoke her.

She was one of the current core leaders of the Mafia.

Kaka stood up and pulled out a chair for her. Wushuang greeted Zhou Muhan. "Muhan, long time no see. Xiaobai talks about you all the time."

"What does Xiaobai say about me?"

"I heard you owe him a hundred bucks."

Zhou Muhan burst out laughing. Wushuang greeted Azure Dragon and the other three. Her attitude towards them wasn’t as warm as it was with Zhou Muhan. She merely nodded briefly, distant and cold, which sent a shiver down their spines.

Yet, her smile was so gentle...

It was somewhat eerie, somewhat unsettling, with a soft beauty, yet also a hint of... malice.

This smile was very familiar.

A lightbulb went off. They finally realized what was so familiar: **Chu Nanfeng’s smile.**

Kaka’s smile was just like that.

No wonder...

Wushuang leaned in to look at the newspaper in Zhou Muhan’s hand. Zhou Muhan glanced at her sideways. "He doesn’t seem to have provoked Mo Yao. Why did he have to die?"

"Chengtian wanted him dead," Wushuang said with an alluring smile.

Kaka was tending to two servings of breakfast. Wushuang didn’t eat egg whites, so he separated his yolk and placed it on Wushuang’s plate, then took the egg white from Wushuang’s plate and added it to his own.

Azure Dragon, White Tiger, and the others watched, finding it increasingly strange. It looked exactly like something a couple would do.

Kaka paused with his knife and fork, having heard Wushuang’s words...
