Chapter 2951
"Considering what you asked for, these are the folks I managed to find. You seemed in a rush. If not, I might've found more," Pisces explained, looking a bit helpless.
"Alright," Scorpio hesitated, then added, "Leave the room. They'll stay."
"Sure thing," Pisces responded. "If you need anything, just let me know."
Once Pisces left, Scorpio checked out the people Pisces brought in. "Were all of you previously bodyguards?"
"Yes," they answered together.
"And before that?" Scorpio inquired.
"Some worked as mercenaries," came the reply.
Scorpio looked satisfied. Though fewer than he expected, their skills seemed sufficient for the task.
"I've got a job for you. Get it done, and this is what you'll get, " Scorpio said, nodding toward a briefcase on the coffee table.
"We're in," they agreed, then inquired, "What's the job?"
"I need you to... handle someone for me," Scorpio replied cryptically.
Silence settled in the room after Scorpio spoke.
"What, you nervous?" Scorpio frowned.
"We'll take half the payment upfront. Once the job's done, we'll collect the rest. If we mess up, we won't get you involved," one of them proposed.
Scorpio raised an eyebrow, then after a moment of silence, agreed, "Fine."
Without further discussion, they took half the money from the briefcase and departed.
Scorpio's expression darkened slightly, and he let out a disdainful snort.
