"What was it called again?"
"Oh, right."
"It's 'the deadly black orchid'!"
"So, have I unexpectedly encountered another story's heroine?"
Hunter's gaze fell upon the African-American beauty in front of him. After sizing her up for a few moments...
In his mind, he had basically confirmed her identity.
For a moment, he didn't know how to speak up.
Because right now, the person appearing before Hunter should be a quite dangerous top-tier assassin.
Her level of danger was probably not inferior to that of léon: the professional.
He just didn't know why she had taken the initiative to greet him.
Catalina looked at the handsome Asian Youth before her with some difficulty. Recently, with her uncle's help, she had taken on an assassination mission.
Therefore, Catalina had come to Los Angeles.
Not long ago, she had just gone to the target's location to conduct a preliminary scouting of the site.
Originally, after finishing, Catalina planned to go shopping nearby.
She wanted to take the opportunity to familiarize herself with the surrounding streets so that she could escape calmly after the mission was completed.
However, she never expected this.
She had always been cautious and never actively exposed her face to surveillance cameras or records.
But while passing by a roadside spot nearby, a painter sitting on the sidewalk seemed to glance at Catalina a few times.
Then, he immediately started sketching there.
Keenly catching the gaze of that young and handsome Asian Youth, Catalina took the initiative to walk over.
She wanted to see if the other party had unintentionally drawn her image.
This was to prevent being targeted by the investigating police or the FBI after her assassination was successfully completed..
After realizing the identity of this Black Orchid who had taken the initiative to strike up a conversation...
With his current intelligence, which was more than three times that of an average person, Hunter quickly figured out her possible intentions.
"I see, is she worried about being unintentionally sketched by me?"
"That's why she approached me voluntarily, wanting to confirm if I drew her."
After Hunter figured it out, he subconsciously looked at the drawing board in front of him.
As a result, when he looked at the board...
He saw what he had unconsciously drawn while he was distracted just now.
Sure enough, on that sketch...
Although it wasn't very conspicuous, in a corner of the drawing...
There was a sketch of a woman's figure that was already very highly completed.
Looking closely, wasn't it exactly this dangerous Black Orchid standing before him!
"I'm sorry!"
Hunter saw Catalina's gaze constantly falling on the sketch in front of him.
The other party was now using a reproachful yet subtle look and expression.
She was constantly implying to Hunter that he had violated her likeness.
Although he had already guessed this Black Orchid's true identity...
Hunter now understood that she didn't want her true identity exposed before her successful revenge.
But seeing her put on this act really made him want to laugh a little.
However, Hunter still played along and said, "I'm sorry, ma'am."
"I didn't mean to offend your image, please wait a moment!"
After saying that, Hunter didn't wait for her to speak.
He skillfully picked up a specialized art eraser and rubbed out the already-formed sketch of Catalina on the drawing.
Finally, Hunter didn't forget to use the bread he had prepared earlier to rub over the areas of the sketch that weren't cleaned thoroughly once more.
A short while later, along with an extra layer of breadcrumbs on the ground...
Catalina on the sketch had completely disappeared.
After finishing all this, Hunter picked up the sketch and let her take a careful look.
Catalina looked at it seriously, and seeing that she was indeed gone from the sketch, she breathed a sigh of relief in satisfaction.
"Thank you!"
She nodded at Hunter with a smile, "It's drawn really well."
Her gaze fell on Hunter's face again.
If just now, Catalina noticed this handsome Asian Youth because he might have used her as a model and drawn her image...
And that's why she noticed him...
Then now, after taking another serious look at this Asian Youth...
Even Catalina, who rarely dealt with men other than her uncle and her assassination targets, had to admit it.
The Asian Youth before her truly deserved words like handsome and dashing.
This Asian Youth had a handsome face that could ignore the aesthetic standards of any race.
His skin was fine, unlike most Caucasian men, and his stature was just right, neither tall nor short.
Furthermore, from the arms exposed by the other party's short sleeves and shorts, Catalina could see distinct but not overly bulging muscles.
She saw that this was also a young man who exercised regularly and should have a very well-maintained physique.
Combining all of the above...
Even for a woman like Catalina, who had sworn since childhood to avenge her parents and had a very determined will...
At this moment, she couldn't help but be swayed by the other party's charm.
"What a charming man!"
Catalina had loved painting since she was a child, but unfortunately, after her parents were murdered...
To avenge her parents, she had to give up her former hobby.
Because of this, over the years in her spare time...
Catalina would occasionally go to art galleries, museums, and even specialized art exhibitions to appreciate various paintings.
Now that she had become a professional assassin, she felt that her blood-stained hands were no longer worthy of picking up a paintbrush.
But because of this, Catalina actually appreciated and favored those young artists more.
When she encountered wandering artists during her missions...
She was never stingy with giving some monetary encouragement.
This time, seeing that the young asian artist before her not only had a high level of painting...
But was also handsome and dashing, she couldn't help but feel a bit more goodwill in her heart.
At that moment, she proactively explained, "I was too sensitive just now. My name is Ann, though you can also call me Lia."
Hunter naturally knew this was her pseudonym.
But he still smiled and proactively extended his hand: "Hunter Sun. Nice to meet you, Lia."
Catalina was just about to speak when she suddenly noticed several gazes falling on her.
As a top assassin, she was very sensitive to others' gazes.
She then said with a smile, "I don't really like people drawing me, but I like watching people draw."
"If there's a chance to meet you here again next time."
---Requesting Flowers--- "I'll definitely treat you to a couple of drinks."
"But for now, I probably have to leave. I still have some work to handle."
After speaking, Catalina looked at the time on her wristwatch.
Then she smiled apologetically at Hunter, turned around, and left.
"Sure, let's have a couple of drinks if there's a chance."
Hunter didn't pester Catalina or stop the Black Orchid from leaving.
He had already recalled the plot of 'the deadly black orchid' just now.
It was about a couple who helped a Drug Lord in a South American country with financial accounting years ago. After they prepared to resign and go to the United States to live...
The Drug Lord was worried they would expose his drug trafficking information, so he sent his subordinates to kill their whole family before the parents could leave the country.
In the end, after the Drug Lord's subordinates successfully killed the couple... looking at their only remaining daughter, she managed to escape due to their momentary carelessness.
That little girl, only about a dozen years old, then took the reporting information her father had prepared long ago, went to the US Embassy to report it, and was sent to the United States.
After the little girl arrived in the United States, she escaped immediately to go and seek refuge with her uncle.
Afterwards, to avenge her parents and kill that Drug Lord...
The little girl asked her uncle to train her on how to kill people.
Ultimately, she spent over ten years...
Under her own uncle's teaching, becoming a top-tier assassin.
And that little girl was exactly Black Orchid Catalina.
Namely, the mysterious woman who had just appeared before Hunter and was now walking away quickly.
Hunter quietly watched Catalina walk away!
Many movie plots had already appeared in this world.
One more didn't really matter to him.
Before, Hunter had been trying to get close to léon: the professional, hoping the other party would lead him into the world of assassins.
However, despite his various deliberate attempts to please him, Léon always treated him with indifference and ignored him.
Although Hunter knew the other party lacked a sense of security and had some communication barriers...
Since it continued like this, he inevitably felt like he was fruitlessly trying to befriend someone cold.
Now, it seemed there was another choice.
At this thought, the smile on Hunter's face became even brighter...
