The Marvelous Elijah’s Return

Chapter 99

Who is my target?

When the door cracked open, Scorpio stopped sharpening his blade and raised his gaze to stare at his man calmly walking inside, and then he asked in a dead tone, “What is it. Target?”

With a frown and a nervous glance at her bodyguards, Madam Jewel sighed, staring at him, and said, “I got a job for you.”

“Please refrain from touching, my madam!” Kent warned, his eyes cold as he glared at Target.

“Okay, Okay!” Target exclaimed, holding his hands up and backing off slowly.

Frowning, Madam Jewel reached into her bag for a hand sanitizer, taking some of it with trembling fingers, and dabbing it onto her hands and wrists.

“Are you sick?” Scorpio asked in a deadpan tone, resting back in his chair.

Madam Jewel shrieked, turning around and
