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.”

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.
