âI was just joking.â 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, âThe identity of the mission target is not simple. I sent someone to assassinate him twice before, but failed.â
âAt 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.â
As soon as he finished speaking, Hansâ expression darkened. He looked at everyone and said, âWe canât rule out the possibility that theyâre people with special abilities like you.â
Hearing Hansâs words, they couldnât 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 couldnât help but continue, âSo you have to be more careful this time. If you canât handle them, our mercenary groupâs reputation over the years will be destroyed because of this mission.â
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 groupâs 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, âDonât worry, Leader. To protect the reputation of the mercenary group, we will do our best for this mission.â
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.
âAndrew, youâll be in charge of this mission. Plan carefully,â Hans said.
Andrew agreed. âNo problem.â
After leaving Hansâ villa, Andrew walked in front without a word, as if thinking about something. The other four followed him.
Louise and Gale couldnât 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. âAndrew, what are your plans? Who do you want to send?â
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, âThe five of us will go together.â
As soon as he said this, they were stunned. Gale was the first to protest. âFive people going together? Then thereâs only ten million US dollars left for each person? Thatâs too littleâŠâ
Another girl, who had not yet said anything, blurted, âAndrew, although itâs a request that the leader cares about, wouldnât it be too much to go with the five of us?â
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, âIf the leader is right and there are people like us around the target, we canât let our guard down. We donât know how many people the other party has, nor do we know how strong the other party is, so to be safe, letâs go together so that we can take care of each other.â
âIrene isnât around. If she was, I would have let her come along.â
The last White man, who at that point had not said anything, blurted, âAndrew is right. This concerns the reputation of the mercenary group. If we fail to succeed three times, we wonât be able to gain a foothold internationally in the future.â
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 didnât 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.
âAfter this is done, Iâll give you my remuneration,â Andrew suddenly looked at Gale and said.
Galeâs eyes lit up. âReally?â
Andrew said nothing and turned to walk out. Gale looked at the others with a satisfied smile. Louise rolled her eyes. âWhat a money-grubber!â
Eugene frowned and looked at Gale unhappily. âYou lack that ten million US dollars?â
Robert shook his head helplessly and ignored him. He quickly left.
Gale did not care about everyoneâs disdain. To him, money was more practical.

At noon, Jian Ai and the rest were having lunch in the cafeteria.
âXiao Ai, have you been tired recently? You look tired.â
As soon as she sat down, Guan Tao couldnât 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, âI was just about to ask you. Whatâs wrong recently? Youâve been taking leave from the martial arts school for so long. Master even asked me this morning if something happened.â
Gao Yang also said, âYou 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.â
Faced with everyoneâs sudden concern, Jian Ai realized that her dispiritedness over the past few days had affected others.
She quickly smiled and explained, âIâve been busy recently, so Iâm indeed a little tired. Thereâs no other problem. You donât have to worry.â
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 Zhouâs 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, âSi Yue, is she really okay?â
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, âSheâs fine.â
