Tianzhou City, the affiliated first family medical center of the Longqian Group.

Evening in Tianzhou City was still bustling. For those who had been busy all day, this moment marked the beginning of nightlife.

“So… you want me to help you investigate your sister’s situation?” The girl had beautiful golden hair. At this moment, her delicate face showed a pensive expression as she crossed her arms and looked at another girl in front of her.

After leaving school, Leah naturally changed out of her tasteless school uniform. Now she wore a green dress, and the platinum interspersed shawl indicated her identity as a director of the Longqian Group — the girl exuded an air of superiority and pride.

“I… I told you, she’s not my sister.” Upon hearing Leah’s words, Nina instinctively retorted, “We don’t have any blood relation. At most, we’re just roommates.”

Leah glanced at her but didn’t pay attention, continuing, “What do you want me to investigate? And what can you offer in return?”

“Offer… what?” Nina was puzzled by Leah’s words. What could she offer? Did she need money?

“Of course, I am a businesswoman,” Leah nodded as a matter of course, “My father taught me from a young age that one’s efforts must receive commensurate rewards. So, what about you? Are you not prepared to offer any reward this time?”

Reward? Nina really hadn’t prepared anything similar for this visit. She only heard that this young lady was very capable, so she wanted to ask for her help…

But now, it seemed that what Nina thought was a “mutual help” was just wishful thinking. The other party was not appreciative.

It was quite normal. Although Nina was not treated well by Nancy, she still protected her in some ways. At least, growing up in the Philo District, she still had a pure heart like a girl who hadn’t entered society.

“I don’t have money…” Nina hesitated for a moment and said.

The financial power at home was all in Nancy’s hands. Usually, no matter what she wanted to do, she had to report to her, and requests for money were basically rejected…

“Money?” Leah frowned, then smiled and shook her head. “I don’t lack money.”

Looking at the pure girl in front of her, Leah felt a hint of disdain. When she first approached Su Xiaoyu, she thought this girl was a formidable opponent. Now it seemed she was just a white lotus flower who relied on her innocence.

Although Leah didn’t know why her grandfather wanted her to get close to Su Xiaoyu… But, indoctrinated with the family ideology since childhood, Leah had already accepted her fate, especially considering Su Xiaoyu was at least not a big-bellied middle-aged man, Leah thought optimistically.

Anyway, now it seemed that the only threat to her was Sylvia, and Nina in front of her was simply not worth mentioning.

Thinking like this, Leah increasingly felt that the girl in front of her was useless. She waved her hand impatiently and emphasized, “Money? I don’t lack that stuff at all. If you’re asking for my help, you need to show some sincerity—”

She had come here today to visit her sick grandfather, not to argue with Nina, so she wanted to find a reason to send the girl in front of her away. “At least bring something I don’t have, okay?”

While Leah and Nina were discussing Nancy’s matters, on the rooftop of a commercial building not far from the medical center, a mercenary was adjusting his sniper rifle.

Through his earpiece came reports from scattered teammates elsewhere, “The central area is under our control. Gamma, what’s the situation on your end?”

“The security guards of the Longqian Group are very cautious. The three groups that just went in were all blocked, but our team’s hacker just solved their identity recognition system…”

After chatting for a while, it was finally time to confirm the sniper’s situation, “Delta, how’s it going on your end? Have you located the target’s position?”

Upon hearing this, the sniper stopped adjusting his rifle. “The spotter has located the first and second targets. The third target is still being searched for, but it shouldn’t delay the mission.”

“Very good,” a robust voice came through the earpiece, the others called him captain, “Wait for Group Two to finish the interference, then immediately begin the operation. Delta, confirm the mission objectives, and once the signal comes, immediately take out the guards around the second and third targets…”

With a nod, Delta understood his task. But just as he was about to respond to his teammates, he failed to notice a figure suddenly appearing behind him…

A minute later, a middle-aged man in a tunic suit took the terminal from Delta’s hand. After clearing his throat, he immediately responded to the other side in the voice he had just learned from Delta, “Ahem, sorry, there was a slight signal malfunction here, but it’s fixed now.”

The captain on the other end did not doubt the words of Hattori, “Good, I’ll reiterate the mission. There must be no mistakes later…”

After dealing with the situation there, Hattori respectfully stepped aside, handing the sniper rifle in his hand to the snow-haired girl behind him.

Nancy looked at Hattori with appreciation. She hadn’t expected him to possess this skill of voice alteration. “Impressive. But it’s a pity you don’t know shapeshifting; otherwise, we could have openly infiltrated the hospital today.”

Hattori showed a remorseful expression upon hearing this. “All of these were taught to me by a woman in the organization with the codename Aisley. They taught me a lot of knowledge to cultivate top-notch assassins… That woman even planned to teach me her excellent disguise skills, but I escaped before that happened.”

Hattori said with a nervous expression, still feeling fear towards the organization even now.

Nancy didn’t say anything in response to this. Strictly speaking, this was already Hattori’s inner demon, which he must overcome by himself—listening to what others said wouldn’t help.

However, this organization suffered losses later on in the hands of the protagonist, Su Xiaoyu, so when Hattori witnessed the downfall of this organization, he should be able to overcome his inner demons, Nancy thought.

Coming back to her senses, Nancy took the sniper rifle from Hattori’s hand and stood in the position where Delta had just been. That Delta did indeed look like a qualified sniper, but he lacked strength. He had already become Hattori’s prey without noticing.

“While this sniper rifle looks very high-tech, the specific principles don’t seem much different from the military sniper rifles in my previous life. For now, I can still use it…” Nancy thought, looking towards Hattori waiting beside her.

At this moment, the professional assassin had already taken out the dagger he had just used to kill Delta, looking as if he was waiting for orders.
