NovelOnlineChapter 1758: "Ten million wouldn't cut it for a tough target, but for someone harmless like Elva? It's practically a holiday," Egan said. "The top fifty in the Underground Alliance would claw over this job. I was just the lucky one who snagged it. I even found out Elva's hotel as soon as I was hired. It tookthree minutes to get her room number, and it would takeless than a minute to finish the job. Don't you think it's a sweet deal?" Harlee gave a wry smile and said, "That may be, but I'm after her as well." Egan hesitated, uncertainty flickering across his face. Offending a Skyhawk operative over ten million was not a smart move. Damn it! His client must be insane to hire from Skyhawk after already engaging an assassin from the Underground Alliance.
Pondering deeply, Egan finally suggested, "What if we split the bounty evenly?" "You're of no use tonow," Harlee declared, then swiftly incapacitated him with a karate chop to the neck. Before Egan could react, he slumped to the floor, unconscious.

Tiffany was torn between fear of the assassin and pity for his current state. This assassin was not the sharpest tool in the shed.
After a while, the groggy Egan blinked his eyes open, clutched his neck, and tried to sit up. Just as he sensed something amiss, Elva's slap landed.
"Is my life worth only ten million? Couldn't you have demanded more?" Tiffany massaged her forehead, resigned. Being around Harlee had definitely rubbed off on Elva.

"You... You all know each other?" "Harlee, letslap him once more." Elva's eyes sparkled with anticipation, her hands rubbing together as a wicked grin spread across her face. Hitting a killer was a first for her! Egan's thoughts were still scattered, yet his instincts kicked in just as the slap was about to land. He positioned himself defensively. It was then that he fully snapped to alertness.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Don't touch her." Harlee's whisper was gentle, yet it held enough weight to make Egan hold back his counterstrike and resignedly accept another slap.
Egan clenched his fists. The shwas unbearable. What sort of assassin gets slapped by an unarmed woman, paralyzed by fear from a single utterance? Fury clouded Egan's expression.
"You're not with Skyhawk. Who are you, really?"
Harlee merely flicked her eyelids m upward, showing her disinterest.
Egan's anger deepened at the disregard, and he silently d silently drewan pistol from his belt, aiming it at Harlee's forehead.
