Chapter 418
As the beeping continued without the sound of the call connecting, Briana’s heart gradually sank.
On the other side, in the detention room of the police station, Rayan was processing the bail procedures for Maxim.
The moment I got the Maxim phone, I saw an incoming call on the screen. Just as I was about to answer, the other
side automatically hung
1. up.
“Sorry, the number you dialed is temporarily unavailable, please try again later…”
Listening to the mechanical, icy female voice coming from the receiver, Briana put down the phone and turned to
leave the phone booth with Scorpion’s henchmen.
The two didn’t know that not long after they left, the phone in the public telephone booth suddenly started ringing.
Half an hour later, Briana walked into a villa.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIn the living room filled with European–style decor, Scorpion was still wearing a mask, holding a glass of red wine in
his hand, his posture relaxed and composed.
Upon seeing Briana, a smile tugged at the corner of his mouth.
“Iris, welcome to this plan. With your participation, this plan is already half successful!”
Briana’s expression was indifferent as she asked emotionlessly, “What
exactly needs to be done?”
Some of Scorpion’s subordinates were dissatisfied, they stepped forward, and the gun in their hands was pressed
against Briana’s forehead.
The next second, a scream rang out.
Before the other party could even see how Briana moved, they felt a sharp pain in their wrist. Before they could
react, the handgun they were just holding was already in Briana’s hand, and it was cocked against their forehead.
The people around immediately aimed their weapons at Briana, the atmosphere instantly dropped to freezing
point.
Scorpion waved his hand with a smile, signaling his men to back off. He looked at Briana and said with a laugh, “If
you like this pistol, just tell me directly. There’s no need to spoil the mood. Please, have a seat.”
Briana walked over and sat down across from him, toying with the gun in her hand as she said, “There’s a sniper
lurking in each of the four directions outside this villa – east, south, west, and north. There are six- bodyguards from
the main gate to the entrance, eight on the first floor, four on the second, and two on the third. Killing you and
escaping wouldn’t be a difficult task for me.”
Scorpion put down his wine glass and clapped his hands, admiration in his tone, “Indeed, it’s Iris. Just by walking in
from outside, she has already grasped the entire situation.”
“I said all this, just hoping that you could cut the crap and tell me directly what I need to do.”
Scorpion chuckled, “Help us kill someone.”
“Who was it?”
Scorpion briefly explained the plan.
This time, his team needed to assassinate an official from Country D. However, this official had always been very
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmcareful in his daily activities, making it difficult to find an opportunity. The day after tomorrow, he would be sailing
out to sea on a cruise ship to attend a maritime banquet. What they had to do was to kill this official at that
maritime banquet.
After listening, Briana frowned, “Why not before he attended the sea banquet?”
“Because this time it was not only about killing that official, but also about using this incident to intimidate others.”
Briana fell silent for a moment, then said in a nonchalant tone, “I want all the information on that official.”
“Alright, but this mission is very dangerous, there’s a high chance of no return.”
There was no change in Briana’s expression. In her previous missions, wasn’t it always a case of succeed or die?
However…
Thinking of Maxim, her hand hanging by her side unconsciously tightened, her expression cold as she said to
Scorpion, “As long as this matter is completed, we will have no further involvement with each other.”
Scorpion nodded, “Don’t worry, I always keep my word!”
“When did we leave?”
“Now.”
