[Yes, Chief, I'll take care of it right away!]
After giving a military salute, Jacques Behrman turned off the video call and went to the Jingli detention center to invite this 'distinguished' guest.
Inside the room.
After everyone had finally fallen asleep, Misaki took out something she had been hiding from her pocket—golden silkworm silk.
This is a deadly weapon for close-quarters combat; it's thinner than fishing line, yet incredibly sharp, capable of easily severing a person's head.
She slowly got up, playing with the golden silkworm silk in her hand as she slowly walked towards the sleeping Jing Li, looking down at the girl from her high position.
Letting you die in your dream is already a mercy on my part... my dear Jingli!
A cruel glint appeared at the corner of her mouth as Misaki crouched down, her eyes blazing with murderous intent. She gripped the golden silkworm threads at both ends and prepared to strike Jingli's neck.
Jing Li suddenly opened her eyes in the darkness, raised her hand and grabbed her hand tightly, then flipped over and pinned her down.
"Misaki, you really are... a huge surprise to me!"
She grinned, a bright smile spreading across her face, her eyes showing no fear, but rather overflowing with teasing.
Xiao Qi, who was also pretending to be asleep, was still in shock when she saw the scene before her.
If Jingli hadn't quietly reminded him before he went to sleep, he wouldn't even have known that Misaki was an assassin!
Damn it, she's not asleep?!
Misaki's pupils contracted sharply, and she gritted her teeth, trying to push the golden silkworm thread in her hand toward Keiri's throat.
Jingli squinted and exerted force with her hand. Instead of advancing, the golden silkworm silk retreated, approaching Misaki's neck.
Damn it... wasn't her hand injured? How can she be so strong!
Cold sweat beaded on her forehead. Misaki gritted her teeth and tried to hold on, but she still couldn't escape the fate of being killed in return. She could only watch as the golden silkworm got closer and closer to her, until her eyes bulged out and she became cross-eyed.
Before she even felt any pain, she smelled the blood.
This is also the most distinctive feature of golden silkworm silk; because it is so sharp and light, many people die before they even feel the pain.
A wave of immense fear washed over her; this was the first time Misaki had encountered an opponent who truly terrified her.
She closed her eyes and silently awaited her death.
But Jingli didn't make another move. Instead, she pressed the golden silkworm thread tightly against her neck and teased, "Why do women have to make things difficult for each other, Misaki... Even if you kill me, you might not be able to escape this place safely. Why don't we cooperate?"
Misaki slowly opened her eyes, her expression complicated. "When did you start to doubt me?"
The EN mercenary group is not a professional assassin group. Even if they fail a mission, they will at most be punished, but will not be silenced.
After weighing the pros and cons, Misaki naturally gave up the idea of killing Keiri.
She was no match for her; her skills were inferior, and she willingly admitted defeat.
Moreover, she's right; if the two of them cooperate, their chances of leaving this place will be much greater.
“When I was bandaging my friend at the beginning, I accidentally touched your right hand. The callus on the pad of your index finger was very thick, which means you have been holding a gun for a long time.”
Jing Li said frankly.
She saw through Misaki's identity from the beginning, and Misaki's deliberate approach made her think that Misaki was likely a second wave of assassins sent by the previous assassins.
Therefore, she didn't trust Misaki from the beginning and didn't take any action, but she had already been thinking about cooperating with her.
"You're very capable... OK, I'm willing to cooperate with you."
"No, what if she goes back on her word?"
Xiao Qi didn't want to let this woman go so easily; they couldn't afford to gamble on any unexpected events.
Jingli ignored his words, let go of his hand, and reached out to pull Misaki up from the ground.
