Seeing that they were busy, Charlotte did not want to disturb them. He went to the front desk, opened the drawer where the car keys were stored, and looked at the several keys inside. Charlotte said, "Iruka, I'll take the Porsche from the garage for now."

"My lord, you bought those cars in the first place. You can drive whichever one you want."

Charlotte waved his hand and left the Agency. Arriving at the garage in the backyard, he looked at the bulky Porsche sport utility vehicle in front of him and shook his head. It still was not as stylish as his own Mercedes-Benz. He just did not know how long the repairs would take.

Without dwelling on it, he opened the door and started the car, preparing to return to the Chrysler Building.

Since there was nothing pressing to do for the moment, he planned to go back and refine Chakra for training.

After all, nothing compared to the joy of becoming stronger.

That evening, after completing their mission, Rock Lee and Sasuke Uchiha unexpectedly returned to the Charlotte Agency together. When they entered and saw Iruka and Ginny waiting for them, they asked in confusion, "Is there a new mission?"

Iruka said, "Yes, a new mission. A B-Rank Mission."

Rock Lee clenched his fists, looked up at the ceiling, and shouted, "Youth! Leave this high-level mission to me, Rock Lee!"

After speaking, he struck his signature pose, stretched out an arm toward Iruka and Ginny, and gave them a thumbs-up.

Over the past year, Ginny had thought she had grown accustomed to Rock Lee's performance art. That was right—in Ginny's eyes, this was performance art. But whenever she saw Rock Lee like this again, she still felt so embarrassed that she wanted to dig out a three-bedroom apartment with her toes inside her shoes!

"Idiot!"

Sasuke spoke coolly from the side. "Iruka-sensei said it's a B-Rank Mission, so it must be a team mission. Are you, a Genin, supposed to carry it out alone?"

Hearing that it was a team mission, Rock Lee did not feel disappointed at all. Instead, his fighting spirit burned even brighter.

"Lee, Sasuke, come over here. I'll explain the mission details first. This time, it's a protection mission. Assassins may come after the target." Iruka looked at them and gestured them over.

The four discussed the mission, quickly finalizing their battle plan.

The next day.

After training through the night, Charlotte had finished refining Chakra.

He opened the system interface and selected check-in.

Ding! Check-in successful. Obtained 200 Reputation Points!

He then opened the Task Gathering Hall and found that both Sasuke Uchiha's and Rock Lee's missions were marked as completed. He clicked to collect the rewards.

He received 400 Reputation Points and 10,000 Copper Coins, then submitted the Mission Scroll he had brought back yesterday.

The mission evaluation came through quickly. The mission to wipe out the Assassin Alliance had been rated A-Rank.

The rewards were 5,000 Reputation Points, 500,000 Copper Coins, and one Exquisite Treasure Chest.

An Exquisite Treasure Chest could randomly grant one of five rewards: Reputation Points, Gold Coins, Recruitment Scrolls, A-Rank Ninja Fragments, or B-Rank Ninja Fragments.

Compared to a Normal Treasure Chest, an Exquisite Treasure Chest contained better items. As for the Mysterious Treasure Chest rewarded for an S-rank mission, Charlotte Doyle had never seen one before.

He glanced at his account: 496 Reputation Points, 2.21 million Copper Coins, 0 Gold Coins, and 5 Ninja Recruitment Scrolls.

That glaring zero remained just as conspicuous as his VIP Level 0. Closing the system interface, Charlotte Doyle got up and prepared to make some tools, such as tying an Explosive Tag onto a Kunai.

After all, since The Textile Factory was a factory, it had plenty of space and manpower. Kunai carrying Explosive Tags would make excellent bombs there. The Explosive Tags produced by the system were all premium-grade, with an explosion radius of three meters. Combined with his Uchiha Throwing Technique, they were precision-guided bombs.

Just as Charlotte Doyle began preparing combat equipment, Iruka Team had already set out.

Outside Wesley's home, at a concealed spot beneath an overpass, Sasuke spoke softly through his headset. "The target has appeared. He's currently at the workplace ahead."

"Sasuke, follow him. Don't let him notice you."

"Lee, keep an eye on the target's surroundings at all times. Prevent any accidents."

"Received!" x2

"Oh my god, he nearly got hit by a car. This guy really is careless."

Inside a room, Iruka was directing the team's operation. He turned to Ginny beside him and asked, "When do we go tell him that we were hired by his father to protect him?"

"After he gets off work. The two of us can approach him then."

Iruka complained, "This person is too foolish and too careless. I'm worried he won't die to an assassination attempt, but to an accident like a car crash instead."

"We'd better protect him at close range, or simply take him back to the Agency. That would be a good option too."

Ginny smiled. "Captain Iruka, let's stick to the plan."

The group soon followed their target, Wesley, to the building where he worked. They were now observing Wesley's every move from a building outside his office tower.

Time flew by, and night soon fell.

After work, Wesley left the company building and went to an ATM to withdraw some money. Tragically, his bank card did not even have twenty dollars in it.

Just as Wesley was about to complain, two figures suddenly appeared on either side of him.

Wesley was so frightened that he immediately raised both hands. He did not even dare turn his head to look at the people beside him, blurting out, "Hey, guys, I'm broke. I don't have any money on me. I can't even withdraw twenty dollars."

"Please don't hurt me!"

Seeing Wesley's frightened appearance, Iruka did not speak. Ginny, standing beside him, said, "Wesley, we mean you no harm."

Hearing a woman's voice, Wesley finally dared to turn his head slightly. Seeing a beautiful blonde woman, he relaxed a little and asked, "Do we know each other?"

Ginny stared at Wesley and said very seriously, "Your father hired us to protect you."

At the mention of his father, Wesley visibly froze. Then he frowned and slowly said, "The week I was born, my father abandoned me."

"Your father is one of the world's top Assassins. After you were born, he did not want you to live like him, surrounded by the rhythm of killing and being killed."

"But a group of people has targeted you. They intend to use you to threaten your father, so he hired us to protect you."

"What?"

Wesley looked incredulous. "How is that possible? Did you mistake me for someone else?"

Ginny took a photograph from her pocket, showed it to Wesley, then held it up beside his face for comparison. "No mistake!"

"Besides, I know your father. The two of you do look alike."
