---- Chapter 2381 Andrew''s curiosity was piqued as well, so he leaned forward to get a better look. It seemed that the Reyes Grand Auction House truly catered to all kinds of clientele, operating in both legitimate and shady circles. No wonder Joaquin had emphasized the importance of wearing amask. The massive photograph disyed showed a figure in a military uniform descending from an armored vehicle. Although only the side profile was visible, her sharp posture and striking beauty were enough for Andrew to recognize her instantly. It was Luna, the female major general from the military.
Someone immediately said, "You must be joking! She''s a military officer, and a general at that. Setting aside everything else, herbat strength alone is nothing to scoff at. What are you thinking, trying to kidnap a military general? You''ve got a death wish?" The fat man holding the photograph remained unfazed by these objections. He simply replied tly, "Alright, the deal stands. If not, we call it off. Of course, we know she''s a military general and a tough target. But thepensation we''re offering is substantial as well." ---- Another voice, sharp and shrill, chimed in.
"This is a terrible idea! It''s absolutely insane. I''m giving you all a heads up: this woman is Luna Phn, and she''s Philip Turman''s student. He''s the military''s suprememander! "If she were just an ordinary general, I might consider testing the waters myself. But touching his student? That old beast will rip your guts out." The fat man seemed displeased now. He let out a cold snort. " Yes, Luna is Philip''s student. But we''re the shadows that move in the dark. If we can''t beat her, we can always disappear." That statement brought a heavy silence to the room.
Then, a low chuckle broke through it. "Kidnapping a female general and not even caring whether she''s dead or alive? What kind of group are you guys? You really think you can take on an entire national military? Do you even realize what would happen if a general ended up dead?" The masked fat man''s head snapped toward the source of the voice, and dangerous gleams flickered in his eyes. "Interesting Your voice, your build, the way you speak... It all seems quite unique. This is your first time visiting us, I take it? If you''re here for the first time, you could simply say so.
Why the need to undermine my operation?" ---- Everyone else also turned to look at the person who had just spoken. It was Andrew. Andrew''s brow furrowed slightly. He could not figure out how his simple observation had somehow revealed that he was a first- time visitor. He gave up trying to understand and simply shrugged in response to the fat man''s increasingly aggressive tone. "It''s not that I''m trying to undermine you. It''s just that this job you''re proposing is genuinely terrifying. Kidnapping Luna, the female general?<fn75ef> Content originallyes from findnovel</fn75ef>
You''re basically asking people tomit suicide." The fat man''s gaze shifted, and his tone softened just a little. " We know this mission isn''t easy. But that''s exactly why we''re posting it here. Anyone interested can take it. The organization behind me always rewards handsomely." Andrew smiled faintly. "Alright, but I''ve got to ask... Why go after Luna? From what I''ve heard, she''s just got a bad temper and a bit of an ego. She''s not exactly someone who goes around picking fights." The fat man let out a cold snort. "She doesn''t know her ce.
She''s been interfering with our operations, getting in the way of ---- our profits. There aren''t many like her in the military, as most know better. So anyone who dares block our path gets erased. Simple as that."<style>
