“I was just joking.” Gale quickly raised his hands and shrugged, looking casual.
Hans knew their personalities well, so he did not argue with Gale. He only instructed the five of them, “The identity of the mission target is not simple. I sent someone to assassinate him twice before, but failed.”
“At first, to carry out the mission more secretly, I only sent one person. After failing, I sent more people, but someone still wiped them out. Therefore, it can be seen that there must be experts beside the target.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Hans’ expression darkened. He looked at everyone and said, “We can’t rule out the possibility that they’re people with special abilities like you.”
Hearing Hans’s words, they couldn’t help but look at each other. Their expressions faded, and even Gale became serious.
!!
Seeing this, Hans knew they had listened to his words. He couldn’t help but continue, “So you have to be more careful this time. If you can’t handle them, our mercenary group’s reputation over the years will be destroyed because of this mission.”
The International Mercenary Group was famous internationally and was an extremely renowned assassination organization. As the leader, Hans had always had absolute confidence in the mercenaries under him. However, this consecutive failure made him have no choice but to be vigilant.
It was rare for everyone to see Leader Hans issue a mission so seriously. From his words, it was easy to feel that there could be no mistakes in this mission. After all, they were the mercenary group’s strongest trump cards.
If even they failed, then just as Leader Hans had said, the reputation of the mercenary group would suffer a huge blow.
Andrew nodded and said, “Don’t worry, Leader. To protect the reputation of the mercenary group, we will do our best for this mission.”
The others nodded in agreement.
Although Andrew was tall and burly, he was also the calmest and most experienced among them. With his words, Hans felt more at ease.
“Andrew, you’ll be in charge of this mission. Plan carefully,” Hans said.
Andrew agreed. “No problem.”
After leaving Hans’ villa, Andrew walked in front without a word, as if thinking about something. The other four followed him.
Louise and Gale couldn’t help but look at each other. Gale gave Louise a look and gestured for her to go forward and speak.
Louise pursed her lips reluctantly, but she chased after him. “Andrew, what are your plans? Who do you want to send?”
When Andrew heard this, he stopped in his tracks. The others also stopped in their tracks and looked at Andrew, waiting for him to speak.
Andrew looked at their faces expressionlessly and finally said, “The five of us will go together.”
As soon as he said this, they were stunned. Gale was the first to protest. “Five people going together? Then there’s only ten million US dollars left for each person? That’s too little…”
Another girl, who had not yet said anything, blurted, “Andrew, although it’s a request that the leader cares about, wouldn’t it be too much to go with the five of us?”
The girl had short brown hair and brown eyes. Her skin was bronze, and she looked like a typical American. Her name was Eugene.
When Andrew heard this, he looked at them and said, “If the leader is right and there are people like us around the target, we can’t let our guard down. We don’t know how many people the other party has, nor do we know how strong the other party is, so to be safe, let’s go together so that we can take care of each other.”
“Irene isn’t around. If she was, I would have let her come along.”
The last White man, who at that point had not said anything, blurted, “Andrew is right. This concerns the reputation of the mercenary group. If we fail to succeed three times, we won’t be able to gain a foothold internationally in the future.”
The man had blond hair and blue eyes. His skin was fair, and he spoke authentic English. His name was Robert.
When Louise and Eugene saw that Andrew and Robert had agreed to let the five of them go together, they didn’t feel too conflicted. In all these years, there had never been a five-person commission. It should be very interesting.
On the other hand, Gale was a little reluctant. Fifty million US dollars sounded tempting, but with the five of them, each could only get ten million US dollars.
“After this is done, I’ll give you my remuneration,” Andrew suddenly looked at Gale and said.
Gale’s eyes lit up. “Really?”
Andrew said nothing and turned to walk out. Gale looked at the others with a satisfied smile. Louise rolled her eyes. “What a money-grubber!”
Eugene frowned and looked at Gale unhappily. “You lack that ten million US dollars?”
Robert shook his head helplessly and ignored him. He quickly left.
Gale did not care about everyone’s disdain. To him, money was more practical.
…
At noon, Jian Ai and the rest were having lunch in the cafeteria.
“Xiao Ai, have you been tired recently? You look tired.”
As soon as she sat down, Guan Tao couldn’t help but ask with concern.
Over the past few days, she had always felt that Jian Ai was not as energetic as before. At first, she thought she might not have rested well, but a few days had passed, and it was still the same. Only then did she ask.
The others also looked at Jian Ai. Lin Yi said, “I was just about to ask you. What’s wrong recently? You’ve been taking leave from the martial arts school for so long. Master even asked me this morning if something happened.”
Gao Yang also said, “You never asked for leave from the martial arts school easily in the past. In the blink of an eye, half a month had passed. Senior Brothers and Senior Sister Qi Wei misses you.”
Faced with everyone’s sudden concern, Jian Ai realized that her dispiritedness over the past few days had affected others.
She quickly smiled and explained, “I’ve been busy recently, so I’m indeed a little tired. There’s no other problem. You don’t have to worry.”
Now, she had to stay in the company until dawn every day before going home. Naturally, she could not be bothered to wake up early to go to the martial arts school.
In addition, Bai Zhou’s matter had always been suppressed in her heart, making her sleep quality plummet. This made her look incomparably haggard these few days.
Lin Yi looked at the silent Si Yue worriedly and asked for confirmation, “Si Yue, is she really okay?”
Although Si Yue usually sat with them during meals, he never spoke. Now that Lin Yi suddenly asked him a question, Si Yue was slightly stunned.
He came back to his senses and nodded gently. He said calmly, “She’s fine.”
