Seeing they were busy, Charlotte didn't want to disturb them. He went to the front desk, opened the drawer where the car keys were kept, and looked at the few car keys inside. Charlotte said, "Iruka, I'll take the Porsche from the garage first."

"Sir, those cars were bought by you, so you can drive whichever one you want."

Charlotte waved his hand and left the agency. He went to the backyard garage and looked at the bulky Porsche SUV in front of him. He shook his head, thinking it wasn't as cool as his own Mercedes-Benz. He wondered how long it would take to repair.

Without further thought, he opened the car door, started the engine, and prepared to return to the Chrysler Building.

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

After all, nothing could compare to the joy of improving one's strength.

In the evening, Rock Lee and Sasuke Uchiha, after completing their mission, returned to the Charlotte Agency together. Upon entering, they saw Iruka and Ginny, who had been waiting for a long time. They asked, "Are there new missions?"

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

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

After saying that, he struck a signature pose, extending his arms towards Iruka and Ginny in a thumbs-up gesture.

For the past year, Ginny thought she had grown accustomed to Rock Lee's performance art. Yes, in Ginny's eyes, it was performance art. But seeing Little Lee like this again, she still felt a sense of awkwardness, wishing she could dig a three-bedroom apartment into her shoes with her toes!

"Idiot!"

Sasuke, standing nearby, said indifferently, "Teacher Iruka said it's a B-Rank Mission, so it's definitely a team mission. Can you, a Genin, complete it alone?"

Hearing it was a team mission, Rock Lee didn't feel any disappointment. Instead, his fighting spirit became even more vigorous.

"Little Lee, Sasuke, come here. I'll explain the mission details first. This is a protection mission, and there will be assassins." Iruka looked at the two and gestured.

The four of them then discussed the mission and quickly made an operational plan.

The next day.

After a night of cultivation, Charlotte had finished refining his Chakra.

He opened the system interface and selected "Sign In."

Ding Sign-in successful, gained 200 Reputation Points!

He then clicked on the Task Gathering Hall and saw that the missions for Sasuke Uchiha and Rock Lee were marked as completed. He clicked to claim the rewards.

400 Reputation Points and 10,000 copper coins were credited. He then submitted the mission scroll he brought back yesterday.

The mission was quickly assessed and rated as an A-rank mission for the extermination of the Assassin Alliance.

The reward was even greater: 5,000 Reputation Points, 500,000 copper coins, and one Exquisite Treasure Chest.

An Exquisite Treasure Chest could randomly yield one of five rewards: Reputation, gold coins, summoning scrolls, or A/B ninja fragments.

Compared to Normal Treasure Chests, Exquisite Treasure Chests contained better items. As for the Mysterious Treasure Chest from S-rank missions, Charlotte Doyle had never seen one before.

He glanced at his account: 496 Reputation, 2.21 million copper coins, 0 gold coins, and 5 ninja recruitment scrolls.

The glaring 0 was still as conspicuous as his VIP Level 0. Closing the system interface, Charlotte Doyle got up, preparing to make some items, such as attaching an Explosive Tag to a kunai.

After all, the textile factory, being a factory, had a considerable area and manpower. Kunai with attached Explosive Tags would be excellent bombs. The Explosive Tags from the system were Premium Explosive Tags, with an explosion diameter of three meters. Under his Uchiha Throwing Technique, they became precisely guided bombs.

Just as Charlotte Doyle began preparing his combat equipment, Iruka's team had already departed.

At this moment, outside Wesley's house, in a hidden spot under a pedestrian bridge, Sasuke whispered into his earpiece, "The target has appeared and is currently at his workplace ahead."

"Sasuke, keep up with the target and don't let him discover you."

"Little Lee, constantly monitor the target's surroundings and prevent any accidents."

"Roger that!" X2

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

In a room, Iruka was directing the team's actions. He turned to Ginny beside him and asked, "When should we go tell him that his father hired us to protect him?"

"Let's wait until he gets off work. Then, the two of us will approach him."

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

"We should probably provide close protection, or bringing him back to the agency would also be a good option."

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

The group soon followed the target, Wesley, to his workplace building. They were currently outside the building, monitoring Wesley's every move.

Time flew by, and night soon arrived.

After work, Wesley left his company building and went to an ATM to withdraw some money. Unfortunately, his bank card didn't even have $20.

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

Startled, Wesley immediately raised his hands. Without even turning his head to look at the people beside him, he quickly said, "Hi guys, I'm broke. I don't have any money, and I can't even withdraw $20."

"Please don't hurt me!"

Seeing Wesley's frightened expression, Iruka remained silent. Ginny, standing beside him, spoke up, "Wesley, we don't mean you any harm?"

Hearing a woman's voice, Wesley finally dared to turn his head slightly. Upon seeing a beautiful blonde woman, Wesley felt a bit more at ease and asked, "Do we know each other?"

Ginny stared at Wesley and said very seriously, "We were hired by your father to protect you."

Upon hearing the word "father," Wesley visibly froze. Then, his brow furrowed, and he slowly replied, "From the week I was born, my father abandoned me."

"Your father is a world-class assassin. After you were born, he didn't want you to live the same life as him, a life filled with the rhythm of killing and being killed."

"However, a group of people has targeted you. They plan to use you to threaten your father, which is why your father hired us to protect your safety."

"What?"

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

Ginny took a photo from her pocket and showed it to Wesley. She then placed it in front of Wesley for comparison and said, "We didn't mistake you!"

"Besides, I know your father. You look quite similar to him."
