Chapter 1185 It's A Freak!

• Bang! With a powerful kick, Liam sent Sam sprawling across the floor. His previously playful demeanor vanished, replaced by a sharp, icy expression. "Do you have any idea," he hissed, "that in the assassin world, once you take the money, the mission becomes a binding contract? You’re responsible for the outcome! And now, we know Black Turtle is certain to fail this task, so what are we supposed to do now? Am I supposed to send my men to their deaths just to cover this mistake?" Sam shook uncontrollably, his body shaking as though his bones might snap. "I... I didn’t mean to, boss. I’m sorry! I’ll figure something out, I swear! I’ll fix this... I’ll make it right..."
• Liam’s smile returned, but this time, it was far more unsettling. "And don’t forget, Black Turtle cannot perish. You’d better watch her closely. If she’s harmed, you’ll regret ever being born!" Sam’s body shook, nearly overcome with fear. "H-how am I supposed to watch over her? That guy said he’d handle things himself with Black Turtle, and I have no idea when she’ll act..." Liam spat, "I don’t want excuses!" He swept everything off the table in anger. "Your priority is to ensure Black Turtle’s safety, and you will resolve this contract. If you can’t take out the target, then your best bet is to go after the one who placed the order! The Orion's name cannot be tarnished! If news spreads that we failed a job, I’ll make sure you die in the worst way possible! Don’t pretend you don’t know how I handle things."
• Sam drooped his head, his voice barely audible as he trembled. "Yes... yes, I’ll reach out to Black Turtle right now and make sure she stays in constant contact with me. I won’t let her take any action without my say-so..." He was baffled by Liam’s insistence on protecting Serena. This was completely out of character for the boss, who typically regarded human lives as inconsequential, barely more than nothing! Yet, here he was, showing an unexpected level of care for Black Turtle’s well-being! Lying on the ground, Sam’s eyes darted nervously as thoughts raced through his mind. Could it be that the boss had developed feelings for Black Turtle? With that thought, he swore quietly to treat Black Turtle with more respect from now on. Who knows—perhaps one day she might even end up as The Orion’s boss lady!
