Chapter 435 - Meeting Rhionen Assassins (1/2)

”Care to elaborate? What do you mean?” Terry asked in puzzlement. Astonishingly, he also managed to keep looking as lazy and indifferent as usual.

”I met a suspicious woman. I don't know why but I feel that she's not an ordinary lady.”

”Who do you think she is?” Terry asked again.

”If I'm not mistaken, Famke used to be a member of Rhionen Assassins. It means that the organization also has female members. I suspect the girl I met outside is one of them,” Marion replied, smiling broadly while showing her book. It was done on purpose, to make it appear like they were discussing something interesting from that book.

A female Assassin? Terry was a bit shocked by what he just heard. Was there an assassin around them right now?

He discreetly looked around, trying to comb anyone suspicious in the spacious hall. However, nobody truly stood out.

”Do you remember her face? We have to report it to Lauriel,” Terry spoke quickly.

”I don't really remember, we just met each other very briefly. Maybe if I saw her again I would remember,” Marion said.

The food they ordered came and both of them had their lunch as if nothing had happened.

”Do you want to come with us to the concert while waiting for Neo and Endo to arrive? I don't think it's a good idea to leave you alone by yourself” Terry finally said to her.

Marion shook her head lightly, ”I'll be fine, don't worry. I'll be back to the penthouse to report this to Lauriel. You can have fun at Billie's concert later.”

”You really don't want to come?” Terry asked, concerned.

Marion just rolled her eyes. She then took her bag and moved away. She looked relaxed and indifferent to her surroundings, but in actuality, Marion's eyes were sharply roaming around, trying to find the girl she had bumped into in front of the building.

It will be very interesting, she thought. Originally, they only knew two assassins, namely Mischa and Takeshi, but with the appearance of this girl, the Wolf Pack would be able to identify three people. They would be closer to finding Alaric.

Marion sighed in relief when she arrived in front of the campus gate and did not find the girl who had bumped into her. Maybe she's gone, she thought.

She quickly ordered a taxi which arrived in front of her five minutes later. The driver of the taxi was an Android of the latest release which already looked very similar to humans and for a moment she was fascinated. The last time Marion took a taxi in Switzerland, the taxi company was still used a rigid robot.

As a small country with advanced technological sophistication, Singapore was indeed superior compared to other countries, even compared to Germany.

This was because the Singaporean government was very open to innovation and industry advancement so as not to lose to its large neighboring countries, such as Indonesia and Vietnam, who were now starting to dominate the economy in Asia.

That was also one of the reasons why Rhionen Industries opened a large branch office in the Continental Building - Singapore, at the beginning of this year. Marion had read a lot about the corporate group lately since she had to carry out the mission of capturing Alaric Rhionen, who may be related to Rhionen Assassins and Rhionen Industries.

Ordinary people were only aware of Rhionen Industries as a leading corporation that invented cancer drugs and was engaged in technology. Very few people know about Rhionen Assassins.

If the world knew about the truth, that their hero, the leader of the company that invented the cancer drug, was the same person who dominated the underworld and killed to achieve his goals, there might be a commotion or even chaos in the world.

Marion narrowed her eyes after five minutes as she realized that the car she was riding was not taking her to the Continental Hotel.

Marion turned on her cellphone to look at the map and contact her friends, but she soon realized that the car was given a signal jammer so that she could not connect to the internet.

Damn! It must be them, she thought.

”Why don't we head to the Continental Hotel? Is there an error in the programming?” Marion asked, tapping the window between the passenger and the driver. The android driver did not reply, and continued driving west.
