Curacao: "..."
An Organization Cadre's blue veins bulged as she nearly crushed the innocent phone in her palm again.
"Is there any way to poison someone remotely through a phone?"
Before she knew it, an unavoidable thought popped into her mind... only to be ruthlessly strangled by what remained of her rationality.
Curacao: "..." Calm down. There was nothing to get angry about. It was not like this was the first time she had learned what kind of person her impatient, profit-driven superior was.
Strictly speaking, today was merely another ordinary day of wanting to knife her superior through the phone. It was no different from usual.
"Besides, I'm already here, and everything is about to end. I can't let all my efforts during this time be ruined by the final report."
Thinking like this, Curacao took a deep breath and adjusted herself back into a cold, emotionless, machine-like working state. Then she began considering how she should report on this mission.
"Rum wanted me to build a relationship with Uzo in order to win over a new subordinate... but I never actually made any effort in that regard. I merely showed up.
"I definitely can't tell Rum directly about this slacking attitude. I have to produce some sort of acceptable result. But at the same time, I can't lie. Otherwise, if Rum learns through someone else that I deceived him, things will become troublesome.
"...Come to think of it, where did Uzo go?"
Thinking of the source of all this trouble, Curacao looked around. Then, through the window, she suddenly spotted a figure in the snow outside.
—Jiang Xia had actually gone outside the villa again.
"Since last night, he's seemed especially interested in these woods. Looking at him now... could he be searching for something?"
