Chapter 418
Silvia’s heart also slowly sank when there was no sound of the line connecting.
Meanwhile, Curtis was handling Neil’s bail at the police station.
The second he picked up Neil’s phone, there happened to be a phone call. But just as he was about to answer it, the caller hung up.
“Sorry, the number you have dialed cannot be reached at the moment. Please try again later.”
When Silvia heard the cold, robotic voice, she put down the receiver. Then she left the phone booth with Scorpion’s subordinate..
The both of them did not know that not long after they left, the phone in the booth suddenly rang.
Half an hour later, Silvia walked into a mansion.
In a European–styled decorated living room, Scorpion was wearing a mask as usual. There was a cup of red wine in his hand, and he was poised.
When he saw Silvia, he smirked.
“Iris, welcome to our team for this mission. With you here, half the battle is won.”
Silvia was calm and expressionless, “What’s our scope?”
Scorpion’s subordinate was dissatisfied. He took two steps forward and pressed his gun against Silvia’s forehead.
In the next second, a scream rang out.
Before he could see Silvia’s moves, he felt a sharp pain in his wrist. His gun was already in Silvia’s hand and cocked against his forehead.
The surrounding people immediately aimed the weapons in their hands at Silvia, and the atmosphere instantly became tense.
Scorpion smiled and waved his hand to signal his men to back off. Looking at Silvia, he smiled and said, “If you like this gun, you could’ve just told me. Why disrupt the peace here? Have a seat.”
Silvia sat across from him. While playing with the gun in her hand, she said, “There are snipers lurking outside this mansion, one in each of the four directions–north, south, east, and west. There are six b*dyguards from the front door to the entrance. There’s a total of eight b*dyguards on the first floor of the villa, four on the second floor, and two on the third floor. It’s not hard for me to kill you and escape.”
Scorpion put down his glass and clapped. He sounded impressed. “As expected of Iris. You entered from outside, but you’ve already got this place figured out.”
“I’m only saying this in hopes that you’ll cut the crap and get straight to the point.” Scorpion laughed. “Help us kill someone.‘
“Who?”
Scorpion then briefed her on the mission’s outline.
This time, his team needed to kill an official of Dewland, but this official was careful in his day
to–day work. Hence, it was hard to find an opportunity to take him out. The day after tomorrow, he would be attending a banquet on a cruise ship. This was their chance to kill him. After hearing this, Silvia frowned, “Why not kill him before he attends the banquet at sea?”
“Because it’s not just about killing the officer this time. It’s about sending a message to others.”
Silvia was silent for a moment. Then she said with a calm expression, “I want all the information on that officer.”
“Okay, but this mission is dangerous. There’s a high chance you won’t return.”
The expression on Silvia’s face did not change in the slightest. Which of her previous missions would not end in death if she did not succeed?
However, when she thought of Neil, she subconsciously clenched her fists. She stared at Scorpion coldly and said, “Once this mission is over, we will have nothing to do with each other.”
Scorpion nodded. “Don’t worry. I’m a man of my word!”
“When do we head out?”
“Now.
