Silvia’s heart also slowly sank when there was no sound of the line connecting.
Meanwhile, Curtis was handling Neil’s bail at the police station.
The second he picked up Neil’s phone, there happened to be a phone call. But just as he was about to answer it, the caller hung up.
“Sorry, the number you have dialed cannot be reached at the moment. Please try again later.”
When Silvia heard the cold, robotic voice, she put down the receiver. Then she left the phone booth with Scorpion’s subordinate.
The both of them did not know that not long after they left, the phone in the booth suddenly rang.
Half an hour later, Silvia walked into a mansion.
In a European-styled decorated living room, Scorpion was wearing a mask as usual. There was a cup of red wine in his hand, and he was poised.
When he saw Silvia, he smirked.
“Iris, welcome to our team for this mission. With you here, half the battle is won.”
Silvia was calm and expressionless, “What’s our scope?”
Scorpion’s subordinate was dissatisfied. He took two steps forward and pressed his gun against Silvia’s forehead.
In the next second, a scream rang out.
Before he could see Silvia’s moves, he felt a sharp pain in his wrist. His gun was already in Silvia’s hand and cocked against his forehead.
The surrounding people immediately aimed the weapons in their hands at Silvia, and the atmosphere instantly became tense.
Scorpion smiled and waved his hand to signal his men to back off. Looking at Silvia, he smiled and said, “If you like this gun, you could’ve just told me. Why disrupt the peace here? Have a seat.”
Silvia was silent for a moment. Then she said with a calm expression, “I want all the information on that officer.”
“Okay, but this mission is dangerous. There’s a high chance you won’t return.”
The expression on Silvia’s face did not change in the slightest. Which of her previous missions would not end in death if she did not succeed?
However, when she thought of Neil, she subconsciously clenched her fists. She stared at Scorpion coldly and said, “Once this mission is over, we will have nothing to do with each other.”
Scorpion nodded. “Don’t worry. I’m a man of my word!”
“When do we head out?”
“Now.”
