1330 I Can Don’t Go
Things seemed to have become tricky.
Jian Ai frowned and thought for a moment. Then, she looked at Gale and asked, “Since he’s an assassin, he must have killed many people before. Isn’t there any trace to trace?”
Jian Ai didn’t believe that a living person wouldn’t have any clues.
When Gale heard this, he shrugged helplessly. “This is the strange thing about this person. I can’t find any traces of him in the past. It’s as if he appeared out of thin air. If I didn’t investigate Prince Qi Ye, I’m afraid I wouldn’t even be able to find his existence.”
“Where did they find such a flawless person?” Robert muttered.
The atmosphere was a little heavy, but even so, Jian Ai had no intention of stopping. Whether this person was weak or strong, she would only know after they fought.
Since there was no result, Jian Ai didn’t dwell on it and returned to her room.
After Jian Ai left, Robert couldn’t help but say to Gale reproachfully, “Since you didn’t investigate this person, why didn’t you tell us in advance? Do you know that this makes us very passive?!”
“You think we can’t deal with him together?” Gale looked at Robert indifferently.
Seeing this, Robert couldn’t help but grit his teeth. He had worked with Gale for many years, so he naturally knew his arrogant and conceited personality. However, over the years, Gale had never suffered any losses in missions. Other than being injured when he fought with Si Yue and the rest, his career could be said to have been smooth sailing.
“This is not a matter between the two of us!” Robert whispered. “Bai Zhou is our mercenary group’s employer now. If we mess up this mission and cause trouble for him, do you know that our entire mercenary group will be affected?!”
“And Jian Ai. You might not know her identity, but let me tell you clearly that if anything happens to her during this operation, the others won’t let you off easily!”
The others Robert was talking about were naturally the people from the ancient sect.
Gale had experienced the power of the ancient sect, so when Robert said this, he couldn’t help but frown.
“Is this girl going to kill someone with us?” Gale looked shocked.
“Do you think she’s here to cook for us?” Robert growled.
Gale: “…”
Because the long flight made Jian Ai feel tired, she slept well. When she woke up, it was already afternoon.
After calling Bai Zhou to tell him she was safe, Jian Ai walked to the window and pulled open the curtains. Dark clouds were pressing down outside, and it looked like it was going to rain.
There was a knock on the door. It was Robert.
“Didn’t you sleep well?” Jian Ai let him in and asked with a smile.
Robert was not in the mood to sleep. He had been thinking about the mission. He initially thought that everything would happen naturally, but he did not expect Gale to make such a big mistake.
As a companion of the mercenary group, Robert naturally had to consider Gale. This was also his goal in knocking on Jian Ai’s door.
“Jian Ai, the target’s abilities and strength are unknown. I’m afraid I can’t let you take part in this mission.” Robert was a steady person. He felt that this was not a game, so he didn’t beat around the bush and said what was on his mind.
Jian Ai was not surprised. She looked at Robert and smiled. “I understand what you mean.”
Bai Zhou was the mercenary group’s employer, and she was Bai Zhou’s boss. If anything happened to her beside Robert and Gale, she would implicate Robert and Gale and the entire mercenary group.
Robert was worried about himself, his companions, and the mercenary group, so Jian Ai understood.
Hearing Jian Ai’s words, Robert couldn’t help but ask carefully, “Do you agree?”
The reason Robert was so careful was because of Jian Ai’s identity. If Jian Ai insisted on participating in the operation, Robert naturally could not stop her. After all, they were the ones hired, so how could they make requests to their employer?
However, Jian Ai was not an unreasonable person. The only goal of this operation was to help Bai Zhou eliminate the threat, not to show off.
Therefore, in the face of instability and uncertainty, Jian Ai knew she could not take risks, let alone become a burden to Robert and Gale.
After all, her power of blood had not awakened, and she did not have powerful lethality.
“If my joining will become a burden for you and distract you, I can choose not to go,” Jian Ai said calmly.
As if he didn’t expect Jian Ai to agree so quickly, Robert couldn’t help but be stunned for a moment. Then, he reacted and revealed a relieved expression. “I can be at ease now.”
As long as Jian Ai was safe, he had nothing to worry about. He didn’t even think about whether he could come back alive. After all, these international killers had long taken life and death lightly.
“But promise me that nothing will happen to you!” Jian Ai suddenly said. She looked at Robert with an abnormally serious and firm gaze and said, “You have to come back safely too. Otherwise, I’ll save you!”
Looking at Jian Ai’s gaze, Robert’s heart suddenly trembled. He seemed to feel Jian Ai’s sincerity. She wanted him to return safely.
“Alright!” Robert nodded hard. “I promise you I’ll successfully complete the mission!”
After leaving Jian Ai’s room, Robert couldn’t help but take a deep breath. However, Gale suddenly rushed out. “Hey, how was it?”
Robert was shocked and quickly pulled Gale to the side. Then, he whispered, “She agreed. There are only the two of us in this operation!”
“That’s good!” Gale’s expression relaxed. Then, he looked at Robert and said, “Give me two more days. When I figure out his movements, I’ll find an opportunity to take action.”
Robert nodded at that. Gale started to leave, but he pulled him back.
“Is there anything else?” Gale looked at Robert in confusion.
Robert’s lips moved. In the end, he said, “We have to ensure that nothing goes wrong.”
He had promised Jian Ai that everything would go smoothly.
This was the first time Gale had seen Robert like this. He couldn’t help but sneer. “Alright, I understand. If the two of us join forces, what are you worried about?”
Without waiting for Robert to speak, Gale turned around and left. Robert clenched his fists, but he could not calm down. It was as if he felt a little uneasy.
However, these chaotic emotions were very subtle. Robert could not grasp these feelings, but he felt he had too many distracting thoughts. Therefore, after taking a few deep breaths, Robert threw everything to the back of his mind and waited for news from Gale.
