Chapter 35. Busted

Ash’s POV

Codex.

The dying assassin’s last word for where Guilang is.

Exactly what the fuck does it mean? Can it be a code word for another word?

I’ve tried re-fixing it into almost a dozen different words and sent out Moro and Lobos to almost every area and street looking for the various names that could stand as whore houses.

There was Code, Docex, Doe, Oder, and so much more.

Unfortunately, they always came back with a no success rate.

Three days, and I still haven’t found out what that word means. There hasn’t been any more attacks on the warehouse where Jia is kept, but Guilang knows, and I know as well that I’m nowhere close to figuring out where he’s hiding. The fucker is bidding his time. I’d love to act cocky and say I’m doing same, but I’m not. I’m working blind here, and he knows it. He’s probably laughing to himself wherever he is and making me stew, but he better not forget…

I’ve got Jia as bait.
