Chapter 55: Enchanted Sicily (8) Checkered Face! ...
Three days later, the once-powerful Estoria family was annihilated overnight. The perpetrator even brazenly left his mark—it was none other than Reborn, the world's most renowned assassin. This action solidified his title as the world's greatest assassin, a title that had been somewhat shaken by his long hiatus.
The black-haired girl who accompanied him throughout the entire operation, Aurora, known as the "mercenary who never kills", also became famous because of this and truly occupied a place in the other world.

"So, what are you going to do next?" In the player's cute little house, the killer, who was being talked about by the outside world, was leisurely drinking brewed espresso and asking the girl opposite who had almost her entire upper body lying on the table and was too lazy to move.
"What are you going to do with the children you rescued?"
"It's a bit cold to say it's handled, but..." the player muttered softly, holding his head with a look of pain on his face, "Uh... I have no idea what to do!"
The surviving children were indeed rescued by the players and have now recovered, but how to arrange a way out for them has become a big problem.
But the player has not forgotten that he will have to say goodbye to this copy in a while.
The player clicked on his personal panel——

Exclusive profession: Swordsman (your sword heart is hatching) (50)]
The Enlightenment item appears after the player triggers a special task, but there seems to be no way to add it manually. Players who have not yet figured out its specific purpose choose to leave it alone.
After completing the special mission, the player's level reached 45, and the swordsman's proficiency reached 50. It seemed that they had reached a certain bottleneck, or perhaps for some other reasons. In short, the player obtained a growth item - Sword Heart, which is currently being incubated.
The player also became famous because of the destruction of the Estornia family. Not only did the bounty in the other world increase several times, but even the completion rate of the task of becoming the "World's No. 1 Mercenary" increased to 50%. It can be said that he reaped a lot of rewards.
Aside from the little kids, players currently have nothing to worry about.
So how should we arrange for those children?
The player holds his head, the player is in deep thought, the player has a headache.
Before he could finish his words, Reborn noticed that Aurora was distracted: ...
Is he no longer a threat to her?
"Aurora, my ears don't want to..." Before the threatening words were fully uttered, a player who suddenly had an idea and slammed the table interrupted her.
"I see!" The player raised a finger and suggested, "How about opening an orphanage?"
"You came up with this idea in a fit of your wisdom, just because you were so impulsive." Reborn put down his coffee cup and wiped the corner of his mouth gently. "If that's the case, why don't you just hand them over to the orphanage?"
"That's different..." The player nodded.
"What's the difference? Aren't they all orphanages?"
"After what happened, they probably don't want to be around other kids anymore. They'd probably prefer a shelter of their own..." The player scratched his head and said carefully, "Besides, those orphanages are pretty..."
"Maybe we can't afford the expenses for those children..." The player's tone was tactful, but his meaning was very clear. He didn't want those children to climb out of one deep pit and then jump into another deep pit.
This time, I considered it very carefully.
"If you want an orphanage just for them, then first you need a quiet, secluded spot. Then you need to renovate it accordingly. And then, you need to make those sensitive children accept it... Of course, all of this can only be achieved if you have the necessary proof." Reborn said mercilessly, looking at the player's dejected face. "Without help from others, it's not easy to achieve your desired conditions. Or..."
"You want me to help you pull strings?" Reborn looked at the player's hesitation and squinted his eyes. "That's not impossible. Cleaning up is the job of the Vongola family."
"Free is the most expensive. Mr. Reborn, don't tempt me." The player glanced at him and sighed loudly.
How could she not know the truth that it is good to lean on a big tree for shade? Unfortunately, if she relied on the power of the Vongola, no matter how covert it was, it would still be stained by the shadow of the mafia.
What if a guy from the newspaper comes and wants to wipe out all the Vongola, and then treats those children as members of the Vongola as well?
Although the possibility is low, it does exist.
This is something players don't want to see.
"Besides, I don't want those kids to get too involved with the mafia, so let's just forget about it." The player swung his legs and spoke his inner thoughts. "I really just want them to live a normal life."
It's basically delusion.
Reborn, who had seen the group of children, took a bite of the snack silently and did not make any extra comments on the players' thoughts.
"Ah! My head hurts so much, I feel like I need to grow a brain." Players who are not very good at this started to talk nonsense.
…
…
[It's so noisy.]
After all, he couldn't stand Aurora's childish behavior, so the comfortable man chose to give her a few words of advice.
"As long as you're willing to spend the money, everything will be fine. As for the ins and outs, just consult someone in the industry."
The player, whose mind was trapped by some thought, slapped his forehead and said:! Fist hitting palm.jpg
"That's right! You are so smart, Mr. Reborn!" The player jumped three feet high. Yes, if he couldn't figure it out, could others not?
Wouldn't it be better if players could just go to free agents with a good reputation and who can provide after-sales service to handle these matters?
Among the people the player currently knows, there is only one powerful character with a good reputation and who is also a free agent...
"I'll go find Viper right now!" The player rushed out the door excitedly, completely forgetting how badly she had fought Viper before.
Reborn: “?”
Did he mean for Aurora to go to Viper? A lawyer would be better than Viper, right?
Forget it, now is not the time to dwell on this. The most important thing now is...
"Come out, or do you need me to invite you personally?" The black-haired killer stood up quickly, pointing his pistol straight at the only open window in Aurora's residence. His dark eyes were no longer as gentle as before, but became cold and sharp.
"Say it again, come out right away."
At the place where the gun was pointed, the curtains fluttered gently in the breeze, and in the blink of an eye, a strange figure suddenly appeared - the person was wearing a thick windbreaker, a heavy iron hat, and most of his face was covered with a black and white checkered pattern, making it impossible to see his true appearance.
He's a secretive guy who's not very likable at first sight. Reborn thought indifferently, holding his gun.
"You truly are worthy of being the world's number one killer—Reborn." The man with the checkered face relaxed and took a few steps forward. He wasn't worried about Reborn attacking, but rather wanted to chat with him. "I didn't expect you to discover my whereabouts. How did you do it? I thought you weren't that good at illusions."
Even if you take the initiative to send out signals, it shouldn't be discovered so easily.
"Don't move." Reborn spoke, stopping the casual movements of the grid-faced man.
"Hmph, don't act like you know me so well." Reborn, who had actively strengthened his understanding of illusions after the incident with the venomous snake, pressed his finger on the trigger, his lips pursed straight. "Tell me your purpose. Otherwise, you will stay here forever."
"Don't do it, don't do it. The purpose of my trip is very simple. I came to find you, Reborn."
Seeing that Reborn was truly intent on killing, Grid Face raised his hands in surrender and quickly said, "Mr. World's No. 1 Assassin, I have an extremely difficult commission. Are you interested in taking it on?"
Although it was clearly a questioning tone, the man with the checkered face felt confident from nowhere, certain that Reborn would agree to his commission.
As it turned out, Reborn was indeed interested.
The man with the mysterious strength who appeared in front of him in this way just to give him a commission.
If it weren't for the trap that Aurora had set here and the fact that the guy with the checkered face hadn't released a trace of his aura on his own initiative, I might not have been able to find his trace so quickly.
interesting.
The killer who had been fighting against death did become interested at this moment, and this idea was immediately reflected in his actions.
"Oh?" The killer, confident in his own strength, put down his weapon and gave the man an interested smile. "Tell me about it."
"Don't worry, Reborn. You'll definitely be interested. Besides, you'll have a group of companions who you can work with happily." The man with the checkered face kept the secret, smiling mysteriously, "Maybe there'll even be a lovely supervisor."
[So he wasn't the only one invited?]
Reborn raised his brows slightly, "Then I'll... wait and see."
