Chapter 3 New Mission

• Randolph was scared out of his wits long ago, hastily kowtowing and pleading:
• "I'm sorry, I didn't know it was you. I apologize, I was wrong. Please spare my life."
• Ken merely cast a faint glance at him, walking and saying:
• "Those who offend Prosperia, no matter how far, shall be punished. Those who defy military authority shall not be forgiven."
• Randolph's head banged on the ground with a thud, and all his pleas were in vain.
• "Commander Buckle, I beg for your mercy, spare my life this time! I won't dare again!"
• "Another time?"
• Without turning his head, Ken left behind a single word.
• "Kill!"
• The order was given, and the armed personnel briskly loaded their weapons, uniformly chambering rounds and aiming at Randolph's head and all the thugs causing trouble.
• "Bang! Bang! Bang!"
• The thunderous gunfire echoed through the sky.
• Randolph and the thugs were all executed by firing squad.
• This scene left all the passengers dumbfounded.
• Ken, who gave the order to open fire, nonchalantly sat in a car, not even sparing a glance. His demeanor was indifferent, as if devoid of any emotion.
• "Drive."
• The driver was a stunning woman with long flowing hair, dressed in a black suit. She took off her sunglasses and handed over a file.
• Her code name was Rabbit, a member of the secret special department. Every time she appeared, it signaled the emergence of a secret mission.
• "This is your new mission."
• Ken took the file without looking at her, casually flipping through its contents.
• "Who would have thought that the mighty War God of Prosperia, after retiring, would become a son-in-law. If this gets out, it will surely explode in the world media."
• Rabbit murmured while driving.
• Ken said with a stern face, "You're unusually talkative today. Is this just a mission?"
• "I know it's a mission. Let me express my feelings. Can't we use a sledgehammer to crack a nut?"
• While speaking, Rabbit handed over an envelope.
• Opening it, Ken took out a fake ID, falsified household registration, and the remaining contents were all mission details.
• Amanda Nixon, 26 years old, Marinopolis Nixon Corporation, Chief Engineer of Technical Research and Development, former consultant for Future Technology Research and Development.
• Mission Objective: Protect Amanda Nixon, posing as her husband, for 24 hours to prevent the leakage of high-tech secrets.
• "Isn't she a high-ranking executive in the corporation? Why arrange her marriage?" Ken furrowed his brow.
• "It's probably due to family power struggles. Amanda's grandfather is seriously ill, and Amanda, with her outstanding abilities, has raised concerns among a few uncles who fear she might take the position of the heir. So, they arranged her marriage to please the old man!" Rabbit explained.
• "In other words, it's an internal conflict for control of the Nixon family fortune. Amanda's situation isn't great," she added.
• After saying this, Rabbit stepped on the brakes. They had arrived!
• Shangri-La Hotel in Marinopolis.
• Today was truly extraordinary.
• Amanda, the first talent of the Nixon family in Marinopolis, publicly seeking marriage, attracted significant social attention as a stunning beauty with both talent and looks.
• In the banquet hall, her mother, Ellie Adelaide, kindly advised:
• "Amanda, listen to Mom."
• "You're not getting any younger. It's time to get married. Besides, your grandfather is sick. Seize this opportunity to pick a man and get married. Worst case, you can get a divorce later."
• Amanda clenched her fists, and her body couldn't help but tremble slightly.
• Pick a man and get married first, then get a divorce later!
• What did they take her for?
• Amanda was unhappy, expressing her discontent through silence.
• The Nixon family was a well-known business family in Marinopolis. Since Amanda's father's death, both Amanda and her mother had been marginalized, constantly oppressed and excluded by the core of the Nixon family.
• Adding Amanda's outstanding talents to the mix, the Nixon family's mainline felt a sense of crisis.
• This time, the marriage proposal was presented as a way to please the old man, to give him joy. However, Amanda knew clearly that she was a sacrificial pawn in the family's power struggle.
• Formally, they were finding her a husband to marry her off, but in reality, it was an opportunity to suppress her, ensuring she had no chance at inheriting the Nixon family fortune.
• Moreover, Ellie, her mother, thought it was a good thing, expecting her to choose a good son-in-law through this grand event.
• Amanda wasn't foolish; how could she not understand the conspiracy hidden within?
• But what could she do?
• The Nixon family's gender bias was severe, and it was clear they were conspiring against her. What could she do?
• At this moment, her cousin Samuel Nixon, wearing a smile, walked over.
• "Congratulations, cousin. After family discussions, from hundreds of candidates, we've finally selected the most suitable man for you. It wasn't easy."
