Chapter 354 - A Futile Attempt

Meanwhile.

The two cargo trucks had successfully arrived at the back of Spring Dragons.

Daphne, who had already been notified of their arrival is waiting for them at the warehouse.

Bam!

The man that Michael had talked to earlier today came down from one of the trucks and made his way towards Daphne and stood before her.

"The goods are here ma'am," said the man the moment he arrived with a slight bow.

His tone was full of respect, it was because Daphne's authority within their branch is just below Nes, whose position is almost similar to Charon who is just below Zero.

It's just that the latter works directly at the HQ, while the former only works in a Branch.

Daphne just nodded at his words and made her way towards the back of one of the trucks.

"Open it up," said Daphne.

One of the workers near the truck nodded and slowly opened the back of the trucks, revealing the contents within.

"Damn that Shadow, he really thinks we're delivery couriers, doesn't he? Dammit!" cursed Daphne when she saw the piled-up bags of a certain clothing and toy company that almost filled up the two cargo trucks.

The workers looked at each other and thought to themselves.

'Well, we do like one now cause this is the first time we're dealing with clothes and toys for children

After all, the only goods they have been dealing with until now are weapons of destruction, and now, they were forced to actually packed clothing and toys for kids and send it abroad, which is kinda ironic for people like them who work in the shadows of society.

"Get the girls and start packing them all up, and send them away quickly" ordered Daphne before making her way inside.

And soon after that, multiple good-looking women came out and started helping the workers bring the goods inside the building.

Once inside, they started folding the clothes neatly and placed them inside the prepared cargo boxes.

"Why are we suddenly sorting out clothes for kids? Are we donating them to some orphanage?" asked one of the women towards the men that came back from Star Mall.

One of the men paused in his steps when he was just about to leave the building and looked at the woman and said, "Donating them? Yes, but we're not the one doing it, it's someone else's request"

The woman and rest who heard what he said were actually quite shocked that one of them opened her mouth and asked, "Somone actually asked us to deal with this? Did the President contacted us or something?"

The man laughed and replied, "It's just someone dangerous. You know, people who certainly dared to assassinate one"

His latter words meant that the person is fully capable of assassinating the President of their country.

After all, it's not like their country is rich enough to even hire the services of their branch, who would protect them from the shadows.

Yes, these women here who are currently busy packing the clothes are all high-class escorts who sell their talents, but at the same time, they are also assassins who are fully capable of killing someone.

This is the reason why this branch of Continental is very influential in Pearl Nation because they have a lot of clout with a lot of people in the higher authorities of the government, all thanks to these talented and attractive women.

They are a powerful faction who are capable of influencing elections in the country.

Of course, they are still neutral, or else they would have been blacklisted and considered as an enemy of the nation.

"What are you girls dilly-dallying for? Quickly finish what's in front of you"

Then Sarah came barging from the door that leads to the kitchen and stared at every one of the ladies inside.

"Ye's ma'am"

The girls quickly went back to work, while Sarah watched them for a bit before going back inside.

Three o'clock in the afternoon.

Michael and Amanda were just coming back after their date which took quite a while.

After coming back, they spent some quality time together in the bed as they tossed around together for a straight two hours before they were exhausted.

Looking at Amanda who is sound asleep beside him, Michael couldn't help but help smile lovingly at her as he kissed her forehead.

"I love you, Amanda"

After saying that, Michael got out of the bed and started putting on his clothes.

When Michael left the room, Amanda, whom he thought was sleeping opened her eyes as she stared towards the door for a few seconds before closing her eyes and went back to sleep.

Taking a taxi towards Spring Dragon, Michael arrived there an hour later.

Michael saw the people he had beaten the other night and even the kid he had saved from them, but he just ignored them as he didn't want to attract any attention to him when he's planning to do something big tonight and finish it once and for all.

Michael just walked inside Spring Dragons and went towards Daphne who's currently talking to some man in a suit.

Daphne quickly spotted him and told something to the man while smiling, and only then did the man left her alone and went away, but not before giving Michael a hostile look like he had just seen a rival in love.

"You're here"

Daphne smiled at him and took a guitar case from under the desk and placed it over the desk.

Michael took the guitar case from the desk and nodded at Daphne, "Thanks"

"Don't mention it, and we've already sent the cargo boxes to the address you gave me. It would probably there in a week" added Daphne, where Michael just nodded to her and thanking her again.

Ding!

The sound of a notification from Michael's phone from his pocket sounded, interrupting them.

"I've already sent the information of your remaining targets, and it seems they were afraid of what happened to their friends that they quickly regrouped together and even hired a gang to protect them," said Daphne right after clicking something in front of the computer.

Michael took out his phone and read the information that was just sent to him.

His targets regrouped together at a rest house just outside of the city, just two hours' drive from where he is, and along with their family's guards, they also hired the protection of a gang called Saber Gang.

And the said gang can be considered quite influential in the city because they are business partners of the families of Michael's targets, which is the reason why they agreed to protect them against any attacks towards the group of scared young men.

And at the same time, there are also police officers monitoring them just in case something happened.

"A futile attempt at resisting" Michael sneered in disdain because even though his ability wasn't the same as before, he's still confident in assassinating his targets.

Especially, if their guards are just mere gangsters, and he's not even the least bit afraid of an encounter with the police as he had already expected for these corrupt officers to make a move.

After getting his weapon and the latest information on his targets, Michael made his exit and journeyed to finish all his targets tonight.
