"Y-You knew?" David's jaw dropped. "Yes, that's the one who posted the request. H-He issued a bounty of 450,000 on your head in the Assassins Market."

I knew it! Kingsley clenched his fists. The murder within him was getting palpable, and it stirred up a little storm around him.

Lancer approached him, whispering, "Want me to get rid of the Jacobs, boss?"

"No." Kingsley took a deep breath. "The Jacobs are just small fry like the Summers. There's someone behind them. If we kill all the small fries, the mastermind's going to go into hiding." He gritted his teeth. "Stick to the plan, but don't forget what Felix did. Once I find out the truth behind that fire seventeen years ago, I will make the Jacobs pay a hundredfold."

A hint of cruelty flashed in his eyes. He wanted to murder the Jacobs, but he knew that now was not the right time. A long, long time later, he finally calmed down and heaved a sigh. Once again, he turned around. "Is there someone called Serena in Orion Tech?"

It's been a few weeks since she went to the neighboring town for her mission. Let's see if this guy knows anything.


"Serena? Oh, you mean Black Turtle?" David explained, "Killers usually keep their real identity a secret. We use codenames, but I used to be her partner, so I know her real name."

"That's her. Do you know why she went to Diosna? Who's her target?"

David shook his head. "I have no idea, but I'm sure that the company hasn't been giving jobs to any of the tier two assassins for the last two months. If she did go to Diosna, then she must have taken a job from the black market just like I did."

Kingsley froze up. Serena took a job from the black market? She might run into something she can't handle, just like this b*stard here. He was reminded of what Serena told him before she left. "I can get you a new car once I finish this job." He started panicking. If Serena ran into trouble just because she wanted to get him a new car, he would never forgive himself. "Lancer, call Diosna's military and tell them to look for Serena. I'll send you her details," he told Lander before looking at David. "He's useless now. Kill him."

"No, no!" David wet his pants, and he begged, "Please don't kill me!" However, nobody would be able to hear him. Kingsley and Lancer had left, and the perfectly soundproof door was slammed shut, leaving him alone in the dark room as he awaited his death.

They came to Lancer's office in Building No. 18, and Kingsley massaged his forehead, looking exhausted. "So, what's the news The Anonymous sent us?"

Lancer reported, "They hacked into Sweoya's spy website, and the base station of the website is in an urban village located in northern Cleapolis."

"I need it to be more specific."

"We don't have that information yet," Lancer said. "The enemy's cunning. They're using Sweoya's latest virtual base station tech. The Anonymous can only point out an approximate location."

Kingsley nodded. "The urban village in the north, huh? That's plenty to work with. I'll be going there tomorrow."
