“Yes.”

Jack didn’t dare to say one more word, afraid he had misspoke.

He never liked to take orders, but these people…

They scared him…

“Any reasons?” The woman looked at Jack with a smile.

“Lu Yan went there.”

“Oh… So, you’re no match for Lu Yan?”

“Young Madam, you must be kidding. Not to mention Lu Yan, I probably am no match for her subordinates. They are outlaws who fight without caring for their lives. Even the Interpol can do nothing about them…”

“So… You think you failed because I gave you too few people? Shall I give you an army?”

“No, I didn’t mean that… I’m useless. Please punish me.”

Jack knew a failed mission was a failed mission. The employer only wanted the results and never cared why you failed it.

So, he didn’t dare to find excuses, or he’d make things worse; it would be better to admit mistakes.

“Hehe… Jack, when did you become so obedient. It’s not like you…”

The masked girl seemed to know Huo Siqian’s alternate personality well; she giggled.

“I dare not be disobedient before you, Young Madam.” Jack showed no sign of rebellion.

When you have no ability to rebel, the only thing that can save your life is obedience.

“You’re indeed smarter than Huo Siqian. Smart guys know the ins and outs.” The masked woman looked to be in a good mood and wasn’t angry at Jack for failing the mission.

“Of course. After all, I care for no one… But he’s been loving that woman all the time,” Jack said in disdain.

“If… one day, Huo Mian fell into your hands, what would you do?”

“I’ll cut her into pieces,” Jack said without thinking as if he had been planning on it and just hadn’t had the opportunity to carry it out.

“Very good. I like your viciousness.”

Jack lowered his head and didn’t dare to speak while his legs began to numb from his kneeling.

“You just came back and must be exhausted. Go and get some rest…”

“Um… you’re not punishing me, Young Madam?” Jack was pleasantly surprised.

“It’s not necessary. It’s not your fault that the mission failed.”

“Shall we try again? Lu Yan can’t stay with Huo Mian forever…”

Jack wanted very much to catch Huo Mian and kill her, so he wanted to know if these people had plans to catch Huo Mian again.

“It’s no hurry. I have plans.”

“Okay.”

“You can go now.”

“Yes.”

Jack backed out of the room respectfully.

The woman stood up, walked to an antique stereo set and pressed on a button.

Then a magnetic well-known singing voice came from it; it belonged to a superstar popular in the 80s in the States.

At this moment, the door opened again and a black-clothed guy wearing a mask walked in.

“Madam.”

“Did you record it?”

“Yeah.”

“How much?” the woman asked.

“Only about one tenth…”

“One tenth? Well… It’s quite a feat. Copy it and decode it.”

“Okay. Madam, shall we get rid of Jack?”

“No. I still have use for him.”

“Okay.”

Meanwhile in a casino in Las Vegas in the States, Lu Yan’s double walked into the washroom after playing a few rounds.

The moment she entered the washroom, someone held a hand over her mouth.

“Boss…” The woman shrieked in pleasant surprise.

“Shush…” Lu Yan hushed her.

Her double was delighted that she could finally stop pretending to be Lu Yan; it was damned exhausting.
