After a communication ended, a man couldn't suppress the excitement on his face, the corners of his mouth were already rising uncontrollably.
It was as if the promise of reward from the conversation was still echoing in his ears.
"The gains from this mission will be enough for me to retire early, as long as...
No, no, stop it, stop!
Phew...
Now just waiting for that person to arrive. Once I complete the final guidance, I can step down for good.
This time I definitely can't get involved any further. The games between those powerful figures are too dangerous, I, a mere Tier Three, can't handle it..."
Recalling those colleagues who died for various reasons, his excitement simmered down a lot.
Some of them died because of greed, some because they weren't careful enough, others because the mission never intended for them to survive...
Even now, he wasn't sure if he would be the last one.
But all he could do was complete his task, leaving no room for errors.
