108 An Annoying Fly 3 (1/2)

When she reread the details about the current mission, after realizing that this 'Stab Gio Albarez With a Knife' mission had one or two loopholes, she started asking the system whether there were other hidden conditions to take note of.

Okay. Apparently, and thankfully, there were none.

Due to this, while securing her stalls and equipment, she paid points to the system to tell her Gio Albarez' locations. Like what she expected, many dots appeared on the map it showed.

'Just as I thought,' she giggled.

They were at a country where similar names were just a norm. At least Gio's full name was not really unique, unlike hers whose first name was invented by her parents.

If her guess was correct, even though the system specified the name, it didn't really mean that it has to be the person she knew. As long as the name was the same, the system would have no choice but acknowledge it as a completed mission!

She glanced again at the map and checked which one was the nearest to her. Surprisingly one was actually also on the same floor as her. And since the shooting range occupied the whole floor, it meant he was here.

'Gio also came to this place? He didn't tell me about this?'

She narrowed at the rows of words floating in front of her to double-check that she did not read the map incorrectly.

'A surprise?' she thought after confirming there was really one at the floor, to be precise, in a private booth here.

She was already marching to his direction when she heard its voice.

However, she did not reply to it as someone just called out to her. It was Claus, and he asked if she already planned to go home.

Sofony nodded but said that she'd be checking something in the leftmost stalls first. The musclehead shrugged and let her go.

When she reached the area, she came to know that the private booths were actually just larger fully partitioned stalls with a door. She checked and saw that there were only five such booths here. Her destination was the fourth to the left.

Her left brow rose after seeing that its door was not close. It was to her advantage since all that she wanted was to peek in there and confirm who the Gio inside was. However, she was kind of confused by the loud and wild noises coming from there.

Why does it seem like there's a party there? No, actually, the noises were like from a bunch betting about something.

With extreme curiosity, she barged into the place. There were already more than ten people inside. When she roamed her eyes around, if she was included, only three girls were here. The rest were men of different getup and physiques. At the middle of the bunch was Marc Goldwin standing with the hand holding a revolver extended out. She saw him casually pulling the trigger while laughing together with the noisy bunch.

Sofony was not really interested in whatever he was doing so she just continued looking around for Gio. Meanwhile, she could hear the others chat with each other.

”Awww, he didn't miss again.”

”Damn! My money!”

”Agh, I also lost! I thought by telling jokes to this dumb*ass, he'd get distracted.”

”This is why I told you to bet on him hitting the target again.”

”Haha, he really dislikes Gio so he wouldn't miss.”

Sofony's ears perked up at the mention of his name. But she was puzzled because she had already triple-checked and her Gio was not in the room. Due to this, she approached one of the women in the room and asked,

”What's happening here?”

The girl she asked was called Jaya. She was a tall short-haired brown-skinned lady who looked very sexy due to her revealing getup. When Sofony said revealing, it was the kind where only the bare minimum amount of clothes were worn to cover what should be covered. She didn't really like the girl due to her flirty behavior but compare to the rest here, she already looked the most approachable. At least, when compared to the scarred guys, musclehead uncles, and matron-like woman over there.

The sexy woman, Jaya, threw Sofony an annoyed look but still explained, ”The usual. Whenever Marc is around, he always invites people into his booth to hold a betting game. He will target Gio while we bet whether the body part he will mention will be hit by him. It's that simple.”

Sofony dumbly exclaimed, ”Gio?”

In her mind, she was asking, 'Which Gio? He's not here. So there's really another person named Gio here? Such a coincidence!'

The bald musclehead next to Jaya who looked like some inmate that escaped from his prison grinned, ”Hey, you're his girl! Don't tell me you didn't know that he's having a fierce rivalry with Marc? Why are you surprised?”

Sofony looked away uncomfortably since she noticed the person indecently checking her out. If weren't for the number of people looking their way, she would have started hypnotizing this guy to kiss another brawny man on the lips.

”Hey, Goli! You brute! Stop disrespecting this new addition to our group. Hello, by the way, pretty miss! I didn't think you'd be the one to walk into my room!”

Sofony saw the place's owner walking towards her direction. A smile adorned his face. However, she only held unhappiness from Marc's warm greetings.

”Sorry if I just suddenly went in. I was curious because I heard some loud voices here,” she said flatly.

”No problem! You're more than welcome here, Miss Silver!”
