Chapter 415 - Welcome To Macau (1/2)

Hummingbird and Orca carried their backpacks onto the ferry that arrived. Because they were used to being on the road and acting as backpackers, these backpacks usually contained everything they needed. But today, they needed to do some shopping when they arrived at their location. They were attending an important event and they had nothing suitable to wear.

Like Hummingbird, Orca had already captured the Super Soldier that she was sent to pursue. About 9 months ago, she had tracked the woman down and found that she was attempting a political assassination! The Super Soldier purchased a sniper rifle from the black market and hid on a rooftop for a week, waiting for her target to appear during an upcoming national parade that he was scheduled to attend. Fortunately, Orca found her and arrested her before anyone was hurt. But, it took her another 9 months to track down the person that had hired the woman.

Only yesterday did the local authorities sweep in and arrest a high profile politician for the attempted assassination. Orca assumed that everyone was talking about that case in India right at that moment.

”Congratulations on the arrest. You did a good job,” Halia praised Orca over the phone. ”Find a safe place to hide in India and I will update you when you are needed again.”

Orca glanced at Hummingbird and replied, ”Yes, Captain!” Little did Halia know that Orca had already left India the previous night.

Halia then said to everyone, ”Your Brain Tap updates will be due in a couple of weeks. As usual, Captain Hua and I will be sending some people to meet with you. I will give you more details closer to the date. Until then, stay safe.”

After Orca and Hummingbird hung up their phones, they looked at each other and giggled. Orca then picked up her phone and made another call, ”Captain Hua, our ferry is almost arriving. Are you meeting us at the wharf?”

Trisha checked the timetable on the screen in front of her and nodded her head, ”Yes, I'm just outside the arrivals area. I'm here with my fiance. Look for a British man with curly brown hair.” As she said this, she looked around and laughed. ”He stands out like a sore thumb.”

Oliver glanced at his fiancee as she said this and pinched her nose. Even though he had been living in Hong Kong for over a year now, he still got weird looks every now and then due to his unique appearance. Unlike the typical Westerner with blond hair, he had curly brown hair. Paired with his crystal blue eyes, it was an odd yet extremely attractive combo that one couldn't help but take a second look at.

10 minutes later, a ferry pulled up at the wharf as scheduled, and two blond women came skipping excitedly towards them. If they didn't know better, Trisha and Oliver would have thought that these two women were a pair of ditzy blond backpackers.

Trisha smiled at the two women and spread her arms. ”Welcome to Macau...” she said.

Back in Hong Kong, Halia was speaking to Interpol in Europe to see how far they had tracked the fifth Super Soldier.
