Once again, in the same large, wide, dark, and dingy building, which smelled of iron pus and old blood, Ruo Yu entered with her other identity, When she enters Hui Lang's door, she forgets everything and thinks of one thing: her first and last goal.
She said, "Jade 444," and greeted her commander, "Do you know why I asked you here today?"
"A new mission, sir?"
"Do you think you deserve a good mission?"
"If sir would give me a chance, it would be an endless honor."
"You Don't sound so eager, after all, your loyalty is questionable."
"I'll have to prove it with my life then." She said, and if it weren't for the mask making her voice completely emotionless, her voice would have a thousand meanings for every word, and it would seem that she didn't mean any of them, "I like your response, Jade. But what do you think your life is worth in Hui Lang? Your actions are what make the difference here. Everyone here is like an animal looking for prey to hunt."
"I can hunt the finest and rarest prey then."
"Jade, what drives you forward? And refrain from mentioning your loyalty to Hui Lang in advance, because no one lives like this just for Hui Lang. Not even me."
"Not for anything in particular, perhaps glory."
"I hope you are confident in your answer, because when you are in the lion's den, if you have nothing to live for, then there is nothing that can be given to you—or taken from you, and then you are without a need,"
He spoke firmly in a dark, threatening tone, "don't think you're ambitious and intelligent. Such qualities are not given here. Outside, if you try to climb the ladder to the top, those at the bottom and the top will cheer you on, while when you try to climb up, they will throw stones at you. But here, your passion for high status threatens your life and makes you suspicious."
- So? Are you telling me to live like a slave? And always stay where I am?
"No, I'm not telling you anything, I don't care about your life or death in the first place, everyone here is less important than animals, at least animals know their worth. While humans keep forgetting such important details - I'm just telling you, if you fall, you have no one to blame but yourself." He puffed out the wooden cigarette from his mouth.
Ruo Yu realized that she had answered him foolishly and hastily a moment ago, so she tried to adjust the pace of the conversation, "I understand what you're saying, and I will carry out your advice, sir. Do you have a mission for me?"
"Yes, I want you to continue the previous mission."
"continue it? Haven't i finished? You ordered me to end the lives of the owners of the place."
"Since you'll be taking on this mission, I'll tell you the details more precisely. Your mission is to gather all the places in Liu Mo that trade in girls and women."
"And eliminate them?"
"No, you have to send it to Xue Yan, the richest of the Liu Mo traders."
Xue Yan, Xue Yan, Xue Yan
Since the day I saw him, he hasn't stopped appearing in my life.
"You don't need to come yourself," her commander spoke. "Do you know about that new place in Liu Mu? It belongs to him. Send him the information."
"Okay, sir, consider it done.
I apologize for being so rude, but may I ask something?"
"It depends."
"Last time, a team was sent from Hui Lang, even though our team was in charge. As a result, we encountered many problems. We were working on this mission in secret."
The leader nodded, "Indeed, I dealt with that problem and it won't happen again. Another team tried to take on this mission because the head of Hui Lang directly asked us to work on it. Don't worry this time."
The head of Hui Lang himself?
Ruo Yu was surprised by this, but she quickly ended the conversation and left, confused because she now had to communicate with Xue Yan and make some inevitable decisions that might affect her plans.
