“Want some?”

Maya shook her head. “I’m full.”

Philbert’s hand paused.

He looked at the biscuit in her hand, then at Maya. A trace of suspicion appeared in his eyes.

“What did you eat?”

Maya covered her mouth and stayed silent.

He was certain nobody would dare bring them food. So what could they possibly have eaten in the family shrine?

The only edible things there were the tribute fruits.

Philbert’s expression shifted for a moment. Even a grandfather’s patience had limits. He waved his hand and swept the entire group of unfilial descendants out the door, ordering them all to leave.

“Get out. I don’t want to see the five of you again this year.”

Philbert was the kind of person who acted as soon as he made Maya experience a real assassin mission, he contacted Ned as soon as spring arrived and had him arrange an assignment for Maya and her father.

When Raymond was dragged out of bed in the middle of the night and told he was going on a business trip, he was completely confused.

It wasn’t a difficult mission.

The difficulty rating was low to moderate. The target was clear, the route was straightforward, and there were three separate cleanup plans attached. Every single one was written in painstaking detail, as if someone was worried he might refuse to take the assignment.

The mission came with one extra condition.

“Take Maya with you on the job,” Ned said over the phone.

Raymond thought for a moment before replying, “Understood.”

He had mentioned before that he would take her on a mission someday. Originally, though, he had planned. to wait until she was older.

When Wendy heard the two of them were going on a mission, she immediately worried about their daughter’s safety. She didn’t trust him to handle childcare on his own and strongly insisted on coming along.

Just like that, Raymond happily accepted a mission that included both his wife and daughter.

It instantly became his favorite mission ever.

By the time spring arrived, the weather had become pleasantly warm. Even the breeze coming through the open car windows felt gentle and comfortable.

A pale yellow straw hat sat atop Maya’s head as she perched on a rolling suitcase. Raymond pushed the suitcase through the airport without complaint.

Their destination was located in one of the busiest and most prosperous districts in the country. surrounded by towering skyscrapers.

At night, the lights from the stores lining the shopping streets made the pavement glow bright white, while crowds of people streamed by without end.

Raymond had been here so many times he’d lost count probably 70 or 80 visits, at least 50 or 60. He could name every building in the area with his eyes closed.

But Maya was a child who had never seen much of the world.

Everything looked exciting and new to her. The moment they got off the plane, Wendy hurriedly put away their luggage and dragged the two of them into luxury stores.

She simply loved shopping.

Raymond’s suffering as a working man was completely genuine.

Back then, whenever he managed to save some money. Ned would find out and promptly freeze one account after another.

That was why he eventually switched to using cash for almost everything.

His personal desires were minimal. He didn’t smoke, didn’t drink, didn’t buy luxury goods, didn’t drive expensive cars, and didn’t live in a giant house.

In the past, he could survive for at least a month without leaving home by living off what he had already earned.

It was the kind of life where a person was technically alive, but only barely.

That changed when the two children enrolled in elite private schools. Every part of their lives required money. Food, clothes, and daily expenses all cost a fortune.

Wendy also never looked at price tags when she shopped. Even if he personally spent nothing, his wife and children certainly did.

No matter how badly he wanted to take it easy, he still had to complete at least one assignment every month.

“Dad, look at this little duck.” Maya pointed at a rubber duck displayed inside a glass case. “I want it.”

Raymond followed her gaze.

Maya was leaning against a glass display case, practically pressed against it. The tip of her nose was only a few inches from the glass.

Her eyes were wide as she stared at the item inside, its reflection shining in her pupils.
