Hunter was confident in ensuring his own safety.
However, as more and more people paid attention to him, Hunter gradually felt trouble.
Many minor issues still had to be resolved by himself.
Even in the future, if there were truly unscrupulous and unprincipled individuals who, seeing Hunter was difficult to deal with.
Would then turn to target Slater, Mia, Tali, and Maggie.
Although Hunter also wanted to be a 'sea king' and hadn't really thought about investing much genuine emotion in these women.
But if something truly happened to them, especially because of him.
He would inevitably feel guilty.
"It seems I really need to seriously consider recruiting some loyal confidantes."
However, even with this idea in his mind.
Hunter also knew that it wouldn't be easy to achieve.
In modern society, where is there so much loyalty? In the face of profit, even family ties cannot withstand the test, let alone people who are not blood-related.
Therefore, the matter of recruiting some trusted subordinates still needed careful consideration.
Hunter quickly dismissed any extraneous thoughts.
He looked at Perkins, who had been gasping for air for a while, and his patience had run out: "I've run out of patience. Now, you tell me what I want to know!"
"Don't make me repeat myself!"
After another brush with death, Perkins' already shaky will finally crumbled.
She looked in terror at the handsome Asian Youth before her; he was slightly taller than her own 1.8-meter frame.
But the coldness he displayed, coupled with his formidable skills, truly shocked Perkins.
During the previous sneak attack, the kick he delivered as he turned around was not only incredibly fast...
...but its power was so great that even now, Perkins felt a piercing pain in her stomach and her back, which had slammed into the wall.
Later, he had grabbed her by the throat and lifted her up.
This further confirmed her suspicion: he was a terrifying man with incredible strength.
Perkins regretted it. She felt she shouldn't have impulsively accepted this contract just because the reward was staggering.
What was the point of earning so much money if she wasn't alive to spend it?
So, when Hunter's icy gaze fixed on her...
Perkins shuddered and didn't hesitate any longer.
"...We... we are just assassins hired by The Company... Aside from aces like Jane, The Company won't tell us who the client is..."
Hearing this, Hunter's brow furrowed slightly.
He glanced at Jane, who was tied to another wooden cross.
This Killer Wife, though she looked to be in terrible shape right now...
...still lifted her head proudly when Hunter looked over, glaring at him stubbornly.
It was clear that her will was much stronger than Perkins'.
The methods Hunter had used on Perkins would likely fail to make her yield.
Seeing this, Hunter's expression grew even gloomier.
His cold gaze shifted back to Perkins.
He looked coldly at the Female Assassin, pondering how to deal with this 'enemy' who couldn't provide him with any useful information.
And Perkins, sensing the growing coldness and even a hint of killing intent in Hunter's eyes, realized something.
She didn't want to die—at least, she'd rather be shot dead during a failed mission than die so pathetically here.
Right then, she hurriedly spoke up again: "Hey, hey, hey! Although I don't know who commissioned The Company to kill you..."
"...if you want to get out of this mess of being constantly hunted by assassins sent by The Company, I know what to do!"
In her urgency, her voice lost some of its previous fear.
Hunter thought for a moment before asking, "Let's hear it."
"I can give you a phone number. All you have to do is call it and say Perkins sent you."
"Your predicament will be resolved immediately."
Perkins looked at Hunter, and suddenly, for reasons unknown, the fear on her face vanished.
Her gaze now held a hint of schadenfreude.
"But I must warn you, it's a one-way ticket to hell."
"Once you dial that number, you'll become just like us."
"It will be impossible to return to a normal life, unless you die."
Hunter frowned, looking at the Female Assassin who had suddenly become arrogant, as if she were a different person.
After a brief hesitation, he couldn't resist his curiosity.
"Give me the number. I'll keep my promise and let you go."
