Chapter 106: In the world of mercenaries, two figures were particularly legendary: Black Snake and Lone Wolf. Both had established their reputations through remarkable feats, becoming well-known and undefeated over many years. They were considered the twin legends of the mercenary world, instilling fear in many Their true identities were shrouded in mystery; no one had seen their faces, and their genders remained unknown. It was often said that truly exceptional individuals acted in unique and unconventional ways. Both were known to be particularly capricious and willful. Black Snake was associated with the Rasetsu Group, but the group never truly commanded Black Snake's loyalty. They merely used her nto bolster their own reputation. Lone Wolf was even more enigmatic, affiliated with no organization and living up to his nas a solitary figure Lone Wolf was the subject of many rumors but was rarely seen. His presence was only confirmed by the occasional impressive jobs he took from the task list For years, no one had seen Lone Wolf. Rumors circulated that he had left the mercenary world behind. Today, Marissa was taking a gamble by messaging Lone Wolf. The challenge of breaking Paul's strict rules on the Sunrise was daunting. Ordinary allies wouldn't suffice; Lone Wolf's support could significantly increase her chances of success Marissa and Lone Wolf shared a unique connection, possibly because they sympathized with each other. A few years back, they had crossed paths during a mission. Although they were using aliases and unaware of each other's real identities, Lone Wolf had added her as a friend on the Dark Net. Since then, Marissa and Lone Wolf had maintained a silent friendship online, neither sure if the other was still alive Discover what's new on galnovalsHer message to him was straightforward: "?" Meanwhile, in his office at the Daniels Group, Connor's phone emitted a distinctive beep. Connor understood the significance of this sound-it signaled a message on the Dark Net. He immediately set aside his tasks, grabbed his phone, and accessed the Dark Net. To his surprise, the message was from Black Snake Connor was taken aback. While he and Black Snake were Darkacquaintances, they had never reached out to each other before. A sudden message from Black Snake suggested something significant was going on. Connor had been out of the mercenary industry for years, but he still responded to Black Snake, holding her in high regard A few years back, when Connor first encountered Black Snake, he was impressed by her wisdom and remarkable skills. This connection made him unusually joyful. Despite his usual aloofness, he eagerly added Black Snake as a friend on the Dark Net. Today, Connor also replied with "?" The two simple question marks conveyed a whole conversation; Black Snake inquired if Lone Wolf was online, and Lone Wolf responded by asking what was on her mind Marissa was taken aback by Lone Wolf's response. She vividly recalled how, years ago, she had been impressed by Lone Wolf's extraordinary combat skills. She typed out a new message: "Lone Wolf, are you interested in a mission?" Lone Wolf responded, "Who's offering the mission?" Black Snake replied, "I've got a personal score to settle with Amiri. I've recently located him and need someone to helpeliminate him." Lone Wolf sent an amused emoji and responded, "Back in the day, you would take on an entire army by yourself. Why are you so cautious now?" Black Snake explained, "I want to kill him on the Sunrise."
Connor immediately grasped the gravity of the situation. Killing Amiri on the Sunrise, under Paul's watchful eye, was far riskier than any battlefield skirmish. It was a mission only to be undertaken out of dire necessity. Connor also despisedn Amiri, known forhis malevolent deeds: Anyone with a moral compass would want him gone as soon as possible. Years ago, Connor would have agreed without a second thought. But today, he hesitated, uncertain. Back then, Connor was younger, more impulsive, and thrilled by challenges. He used to eagerly tackle daunting tasks that others would shy away from. Now, as the leader of the Daniels family, Connor bore the responsibility of his entire lineage. He also had his elderly grandmother to care for and a village girl who occupied his thoughts and concerns, making any reckless actions inadvisable
While he mulled over his decision, Black Snake sent another message: "The pa is 300 million dollars."
Connor chuckled. Since when did he need to work for money? Just then, Domenic burst through the the door, his face etched with urgency. "Mr.
Daniels, we have a serious problem."
