Jean, who had just finished taking a shower and was getting ready to go to a concert, looked surprised to see Marion coming into the penthouse in a hurry. Her face was tense and focused.
She quickly took a scanner from the cupboard and checked for hidden trackers or bugs on her body and bag.
Hmm ... nothing. Thank God!
"You look like you've just seen a ghost," Jean said, frowning, "I don't look like a ghost, do I?"
Marion was stunned to hear Jean joke like this. Ugh, if he knew how tense Marion had been in that mysterious house, maybe he wouldn't have said anything so ridiculous.
"I just met two assassins," Marion finally said in a low voice. She was not afraid of death and she was used to carrying out dangerous missions. But now, considering the huge risks she had taken, and adding the fact that one of the assassins seemed very eager to get rid of Aleksis, she felt horrified.
"Life on Earth is expensive, but it does include a free trip around the sun every year."
Happy New Year in advance, folks!!!
