?Chapter 119:


    Reading Lone Wolf’s message, Marissa felt relieved that she had acted quickly. If she had dyed, Lone Wolf would have imed the task. Lone Wolf enjoyed tackling challenges that others found too daunting. Though they were set to coborate on the same mission soon, Marissa doubted she could ever be truly open with him. They respected each other’s skills, yet they were unlikely to forge a deep friendship. Hidden behind their avatars on the Dark Net, their real identities remained unknown to one another


    Partnership was possible when interests aligned, but different interests could turn them into adversaries another day. Thus, Marissa responded with a yful tone, “I’ll cut off Connor’s head and im the two billion Amiri is offering. Then, we can team up to take him down.”


    Lone Wolf retorted, “Are you out of your mind because you’re short on money?”


    Marissa replied, “Are you just upset because you didn’tnd the job? You missed a golden chance to earn big.” After that, Lone Wolf went silent

    Marissa wondered if it was just her imagination, but she sensed his anger. However, she wasn’t concerned about him breaking his promise. They were all true to their word. Breaking a deal meant risking their reputations and future opportunities


    Shortly thereafter, Marissa put her phone away and went to meet Connor. Meanwhile, Connor sat fuming in his car, a strange thought nagging at him, sparked by ck Snake’s greed. It reminded him of a vige girl from years earlier. When Connor first encountered ck Snake, they were both dressed in ck, their faces hidden behind masks and their voices altered by technology, making it impossible to discern their genders. ck Snake was shorter and more slender than him. During a chase, her light footsteps carried a subtle scent, leading him to believe she was a woman


    Connor was morbidly curious about how ck Snake might attempt to decapitate him. Meanwhile, Marc and Terry, former elite soldiers from Doomsday Base, were stunned to see ck Snake take the job. In their eyes, she was in a league of her own


    Marc’s voice shook as he warned Connor, “Mr. Daniels, ck Snake has imed the task.”


    Connor responded coolly, “I saw it.”


    “What should we do, Mr. Daniels?” Terry asked, his voiceced with panic


    Connor looked at them as though they were missing the obvious. “You two get a sry of a million dors yearly. You are my weapons at a critical moment. Why are you asking me what to do now?”


    Marc quickly responded, “Mr. Daniels, we’re here to serve you. Of course, we’ll risk our lives to protect you when ck Snakees. But let’s be honest about our abilities. Even together, we can’t take ck Snake down.”


    “That’s right, Mr. Daniels. We don’t fear dying. Our concern is what you’ll do after we’re gone,” Terry added


    “You’ve never faced what we have in the mercenary world, so you don’t understand how formidable ck Snake is. This is a monster who once single-handedly defeated an entire army. Even with hundreds of top-notch bodyguards, you’d just be increasing the body count in ck Snake’s wake.”


    “Mr. Daniels, no one has ever beaten ck Snake. We need to be cautious,” Marc insisted. “I suggest you find a bodyguard as capable as ck Snake. In this world, only Lone Wolf could stand a chance against ck Snake.”


    “But Lone Wolf has been off the grid for years. No one can track him or her down,” Terry pointed out


    Connor raised an eyebrow, intrigued by the challenge ck Snake presented. He wanted to test his own limits against hers, to see who was truly superior. Lost in thought, Connor was suddenly pulled back by Terry’s excited shout. “There’s someone else who could match ck Snake. Let’s bring her in to protect Mr. Daniels. She might just be the one to defeat ck Snake.”


    Intrigued, Connor asked, “Who is she?”
