Chapter 569 - AN ARTISTIC ASSASSIN (1/2)

On Martial Island, two unusual suspects were seated together in a low-key restaurant. The restaurant was owned and managed by one of the most private families in the area. Therefore, discretion was guaranteed for their clients.

The Cabrera clan was not prominent like the Jiang or Iekami clans. However, their speciality was information within and from outside Martial Island. Therefore, their existence was indispensable to the elite families.

Although each prominent clan had their intelligence network, the Cabrera family's reach was beyond the capabilities of most families.

”The last target has been eliminated.” Yuan Haoran was pleased as he looked at the articles on his phone.

He knew that the target was gone as soon as it happened because Hu Lei sent him a message. However, there was still something invigorating about reading about the matter from the international news forums.

Taiki pursed his lips in displeasure. He did not approve of assassination unless completely necessary. Moreover, their goal was beyond getting rid of a few strongholds of Martial Island. He did not see how killing a few people would damage the system.

”Are you sure that no one will be the wiser?” Taiki asked. ”If the assassinations are going to increase the risk of discovery, we will have lost out more. Our plan is coming to a close, and any unusual factor will lead to the downfall of our entire plot.”

Yuan Haoran laughed. ”Do you know the reason I chose another assassin instead of using your nephew?”

Taiki shook his head as he forked some fried rice into his mouth without enthusiasm. The Mexican fried rice was perfect with fresh carrots and peppers and sweet corn. But he was not in the mood to enjoy the beautiful dish.

”I do not need to warn you about what you should and should not say. So, I will tell you about Jane. Her identity is something you should have guessed. However, before she became a social figure, she was a top assassin.”

”Well, she is still a top assassin because, unlike your nephew, she is an artist. Kaito is considered a top figure in the mercenary world. His reputation precedes him. However, Jane is like a shadow. No one will ever know about an assassination if she does it.”

Taiki had guessed that the magical assassin was Kaito's friend, Hu Lei. She was also the wife of one of the most powerful people on the globe on the financial front. He had seen some images of her. She was a little woman with large eyes and a sweet smile.

He could still not imagine her being an assassin.

If it were not for the fact that he knew Yuan Haoran would not lie about something so minor, he would have thought that Zhong Feng hired someone to make Hu Lei a legend.

Yuan Haoran could see the doubt in his companion's eyes. He understood the doubt because he had found it unfathomable when he first learned about Hu Lei. He could not even claim to know everything about Hu Lei's past, despite his research.

”Do you know about the death of our last target?” Yuan Haoran nodded.
