After successfully escaping the Paris Hotel with Jane and Perkins, Hunter sent each of them back to their own homes.
He dropped Perkins off first.
Her home was in a luxury apartment building in Queens, New York as well.
This somewhat gold-digging woman had bought a large flat in that building: five bedrooms, one living room, one kitchen, one bathroom, and more than 320 square meters in total.
And this was New York real estate.
Even if Perkins was an assassin whose income far exceeded that of some multimillionaires, maintaining such a place was not exactly easy.
Not to mention the several luxury cars registered under her name, along with the designer bags, cosmetics, clothing, and other things she bought regularly.
That made it unsurprising that she was willing to take on any dangerous job for money.
Hunter had been to Perkins's place before.
She really did live a very luxurious life when alone.
"Are you staying at my place tonight?"
Just as she got out of the car, she asked seductively, looking at Hunter with clear teasing in her eyes.
But Hunter noticed that the corner of her eye was watching Jane.
Hunter immediately felt a sharp pain at his waist.
Jane, sitting in the back seat, had quietly reached over and pinched him hard.
It seemed that this skill was not limited by race, country, or nationality. It was something women had carved into their bones.
Hunter shot her a displeased glare.
"I still have to turn in the mission report later!"
"Go on. I will not let you work for nothing."
The smile on Perkins's face only deepened.
She blew him a kiss into her palm and then strode off on her long legs.
Only after finally sending off that troublemaking woman did Hunter start the car again.
"I'll take you home first. I may be late coming back tonight. I still need to turn in the mission."
"Once you get home, just rest first."
Perkins was different from Jane.
The former had already adapted to being one of Hunter's lovers.
She probably even had other lovers, just like he did.
Hunter did not really care about that.
That was just how Western culture was.
As long as everyone was available when needed, that was enough.
Jane, on the other hand, was a little more troublesome.
Maybe because she had been married before, she was not opposed to marriage.
When Hunter first took her, she had been very resistant to it.
But later, once she got used to it, especially as their interactions became more frequent, her thoughts gradually changed because of the passive effect of Hunter's skills.
"I just want to sleep with her, but she wants me to only sleep with her in the future."
Hunter understood the situation perfectly.
After crossing over, he had lost much of his moral framework.
On top of that, he had gained a cheat-like ability that was changing every day, slowly turning him into something approaching an all-powerful superhuman.
Since he had the ability to possess an entire ocean, he naturally was not going to give it all up for just one mermaid.
Jane was silent for a moment before she finally said, "Do you have nothing else to say to me?"
Looking through the rearview mirror, Hunter saw that she still had a faint smile on her face.
He raised an eyebrow and asked, indirectly, "Do you want to leave New York and live on the West Coast with me?"
Jane asked back, "Then will you marry me?"
Hunter had not expected this woman to really bring things out into the open.
He simply shook his head.
"No. You should already have realized that you cannot satisfy me."
Although Jane had expected that answer, hearing it still hurt.
She snorted coldly, but did not say anything else.
Still, she also understood that the two of them were not on the same level.
During their previous exchanges, Jane could clearly feel that Hunter had been holding back.
Otherwise, she would not just be sleeping a few extra hours each time.
When Hunter saw that the worst-case scenario had not happened, he also felt a small sense of relief.
From his months of observation, the max-level breeding skill passives brought by his cheat seemed to affect women more strongly when they had weaker willpower and less personal initiative.
The opposite was also true.
Women like Telly and Maggie were the most affected, and now they were almost completely obedient to him.
A little less affected were people like Slat and Sloane.
They either had strong personalities or a heavy focus on their careers, but they were still within the normal range of women.
The hardest ones were women like Perkins and Jane.
They were calm or cold, had strong willpower, and were opinionated and capable.
If Hunter had not had his cheat and known that, as long as he kept at it and kept interacting with them, he would eventually win them over, he probably would not have easily gone after women like this.
Until he reached Jane's home, the mood in the car remained silent.
Even when she got out, Jane did not speak to Hunter.
Hunter knew she was angry, so he only said goodbye and did not even mention leaving the door unlocked for him before driving off.
Anyway, his lockpicking skill had already reached Level 5.
Even if Jane locked the door, Hunter could open it easily.
After dropping both women home, he immediately drove toward his destination.
And that destination was, of course, Hit-Girl and Big Daddy.
More specifically, Mindy McQuaid and Damon McQuaid's home.
There was a very good chance that the two of them were Telly's younger sister and father.
Hunter's whole reason for targeting New York drug lord Frank D'Amico tonight was to win favor with his future father-in-law.
Otherwise, he really had no sense of belonging to the United States.
If a drug lord killed more people in this country, that had nothing to do with him.
He had no reason to go after the man.
By tomorrow morning, the murders at the Paris Hotel would definitely make the newspapers.
If Hunter went to see Damon McQuaid after that, the effect would be much weaker than it would be now.
So he absolutely had to bring Frank's head to Damon tonight.
That way, once the news broke in the papers tomorrow, the retired officer Damon would get even more details from his former colleagues.
The shock effect would be far stronger than if he saw the head later.
Hunter drove fast and wound through the streets.
Before long, he arrived near Damon and Mindy's current home.
In an open space some distance from the house, Hunter checked the surroundings before putting the car into his private space.
After that, he carried the travel bag containing Frank's head and quickly walked to the father and daughter's residence.
He glanced around and noticed that many hidden spots nearby were equipped with surveillance cameras.
He was not surprised.
He simply carried the bag and knocked on the front door.
