Jenny wasn’t particularly afraid of assassins anyway. Nobody would waste time killing someone like her.

It was the powerful people who needed to worry.

The higher their position, the more likely they were to be targeted.

Wealthy elites would rather offend politicians than deal with assassin groups that traded in blood.

After all, losing in business only meant losing money.

But being targeted by assassins meant losing their lives.

When assassins struck, the finality of death was absolute. It sounded obvious, but it was still true.

Wealthy people valued their lives the most.

“I heard that to hire them, you have to wait in line first, and most assassins from the Silent Archive won’t even take jobs from normal rich merchants like us,” Jenny said, lying on her desk and complaining dramatically. “If one of their assassins ever took a job for me, the first person I’d want gone would be Kaia!”

Alfred thought absentmindedly.

Of course.

The Silent Archive was owned by the Clarks and run by his uncle.

After killing for years, those professional assassins gradually became numb.

Some even started searching for more dangerous missions just for excitement.

Jobs from regular wealthy families like Jenny’s didn’t interest them.

Only his father, whose money and businesses had been frozen by his grandfather, would take any job.

Raymond had been short on money lately.

Not only did he need to pay Harmony International School’s expensive tuition, but he also had to save extra money for Maya.

And Jenny’s family was indeed very wealthy.

Thinking about that, Alfred quickly wrote down a phone number and handed it to Jenny, speaking flatly, “If you ever have trouble, call this number.

“Just make sure you have the final payment ready. I can give you a one-percent discount.”

“A one-percent discount?” Jenny stared at the number in disbelief. “What’s the point? That’s basically no discount.”

Alfred replied, “If you’d rather pay full price, that works too.”

Jenny rolled her eyes. She shoved the paper into her pocket without thinking much, assuming it belonged to some security company. “Alright.”

She figured Alfred and Maya’s family ran a bodyguard business.

“If I ever need help. I’ll have someone call and ask.”

After Jenny left, Maya paused before asking curiously, “Alfred, isn’t that Dad’s phone number?”

“Yes,” Alfred replied.

She looked confused. “Why give her Dad’s number? If something really happens, they can hire trained bodyguards. Dad doesn’t have special skills.”

In her mind, Raymond was just a miserable office worker who would hug her on weekends, rub his face against hers shamelessly, and complain about not wanting to go to work.

“Is that what you believe?” Alfred’s expression turned strange, his voice sounding guiding. “Maya, don’t you want to know what Dad really does?”

More than a year had passed. Was she truly not curious about their father’s job?

Raymond often went on business trips. Every time he came back, he carried the faint smell of smoke and blood.

Anyone would notice something strange.

Especially his sister, who had strong instincts and sharp senses.

“No.” Maya calmly pushed his head onto the desk. “I don’t.”

She truly had zero curiosity about her father’s job.

What was he supposed to be-some kind of professional assassin?

That was ridiculous. She was just scaring herself.

Kaia had already called the housekeeper to pick her up early. By the time she got home, her face was pale. She clutched her doll and bit her lip, looking like she had suffered some kind of grievance.

The housekeeper patiently coaxed her. “Ms. Kaia, it’s getting late. Would you like to eat? I can have the chef prepare something.”

“I’m not hungry. Where’s Dad?” Kaia asked softly, cutting her off.

“He’s working”

Kaia nodded lightly. “Then I shouldn’t bother him.”

She had always been obedient.

“What about Lawrence?”
