The next morning, in a roadside cafe.
After more than half a month, Hunter met the Female Assassin, Perkins, again!
Compared to the disheveled state she was in over half a month ago, Perkins now looked even more sexy and charming.
She was already good-looking, and she stood around 1.8 meters tall.
Her figure was curvaceous, comparable to the supermodels often seen on screen.
Moreover, her emerald-blue eyes added a touch of cold glamour to this Female Assassin.
In short, when Hunter arrived, he saw with his own eyes how this woman, with just a cold and arrogant glance, deterred two suit-wearing office workers who wanted to come over and hit on her.
Until she saw Hunter arrive, this cold-faced woman quickly changed her expression as if performing a magic trick, replacing it with a charming and alluring smile.
"Hi, lit..."
"If you want me to take care of you right here and now, feel free to give me a weird nickname."
Hunter interrupted Perkins, sitting down calmly opposite her.
He scrutinized Perkins from head to toe with a judgmental gaze.
Must admit, this woman had the figure and appearance of a supermodel.
Paired with that cold, stern face from just a moment ago, it really gave one a feeling of being unattainable.
So much so that even Hunter felt a small flutter of excitement.
But when she smiled, it made people feel very uncomfortable.
It's not to say that Perkins didn't look good when smiling.
After all, with a supermodel's face, it wouldn't be bad no matter what.
The key is that although the woman was smiling, her eyes remained ice-cold.
So when Perkins smiled, it always gave people the feeling of being stared at by a venomous snake.
"Wipe that fox-like smile off your face; every time you smile, I feel like you're plotting against me."
"Tell me, what's the mission?"
"How much can you offer as payment?"
He flashed a twenty us dollar bill and dismissed the waiter who came over to ask what he wanted to drink.
Hunter didn't like coffee; occasionally tasting an iced Americano or a latte was fine, but this stuff really wasn't his thing.
Of course, he wasn't old enough to appreciate the artistic conception of Chinese green tea yet.
Compared to these, Hunter preferred lemon soda.
Staring fixedly at Perkins, he was indeed very curious about why this Female Assassin had asked him out.
After helping Cole, the concierge of the Los Angeles Continental Hotel, settle an incident that day, Cole began to take special care of Hunter, the new member of the Continental Hotel.
Besides directly raising his hotel contribution level from D+ to C-, and giving him the payment for that mission along with a double reward of continental gold coins, Cole also gave Hunter, this rookie member who had the great potential to snipe targets precisely from over a thousand meters away, an extra reward.
He told Hunter that he could, within the scope of his authority, answer one question for him.
Consequently, Hunter asked Cole about Perkins.
After all, Perkins was the one who led him into the Continental Hotel.
Even though Perkins only did so because her life was threatened, Hunter still inevitably felt some curiosity about her.
And regarding his question, Cole did not hide anything.
According to him, Perkins had only joined the Continental Hotel three months before Hunter.
However, she was not a member registered at the Los Angeles Continental Hotel, but rather in New York.
Cole told him that Perkins was a very greedy but short-sighted woman.
She exchanged most of the continental gold coins rewarded from the Continental Hotel's missions into cash through the black market to squander on herself.
Not only did Cole think this was a very stupid decision, but to be honest, Hunter felt the same way.
He was curious about what kind of chips the greedy Perkins could offer to persuade him to help her.
This was also one of the reasons Hunter came to see her.
After all, he was also curious about what kind of mission could make Perkins, who wasn't lacking in strength, feel that she needed a helper.
Perkins didn't expect that this handsome young Asian would be so indifferent, even when facing her, who had dressed up for the appointment.
Didn't he see that almost every man in the cafe had their eyes drawn to her?
Even those few whom she had deterred with her gaze earlier were now glaring at Hunter through gritted teeth!
Judging by their looks, it seemed they were preparing to teach him a harsh lesson later.
Thinking of this, Perkins felt a bit more balanced.
"What a difficult man!"
A hint of a smile finally appeared in Perkins's emerald eyes.
She looked at Hunter, her voice lowered significantly.
"I've accepted a well-paying contract, but it's not from the Continental Hotel!"
"The target is a bit tricky, and I might not be able to handle it alone."
"So, I'd like to ask for your help."
Hunter raised an eyebrow, remaining silent, just looking at her.
He wasn't a three-year-old, and besides, he wasn't familiar with Perkins.
This woman did indeed introduce Hunter to the Continental Hotel, but she only did so to save her own life back then.
After all, she had been captured by Hunter, and he was genuinely going to kill her at that time.
So, wanting to get something without paying any price and wanting Hunter to help her, there's no such thing in this world.
Perkins naturally saw his attitude and revealed a charming smile on her face.
She rested her cheek on one hand, looking at Hunter, her eyes full of his reflection.
"...I don't have any continental gold coins left, and I'm very short on money recently."
"However, I have a reward that will absolutely satisfy you."
Hunter frowned slightly, and the next moment, his expression became strange.
Under the table, a foot reached out restlessly.
It teased and climbed up along his pant leg.
Hunter subconsciously dodged to avoid having his vital parts attacked.
Then he looked at Perkins and asked: "So, what is the reward?"
"ME!"
Perkins swept her tongue across her alluring red lips, her face full of confidence.
Obviously, she was very confident in her appearance and figure.
These assets were not something just anyone could refuse.
Perkins knew that three assassination attempts on this handsome young Asian in front of her had all failed to kill him.
Instead, she was captured twice, and was just... "taken care of".
(Damn it) It was clear that this young Asian in front of her wasn't as serious as he looked.
And as long as she didn't talk about money with Perkins, everything was negotiable.
Money was what she cared about most, and besides, the other party was good-looking, just hitting her aesthetic point.
Thinking about it this way, even if she got "plowed", who knows who was actually at a disadvantage.
Precisely because she thought this way, Perkins's little actions became increasingly bold.
Once a woman takes the initiative, there really aren't many men who can resist.
Hunter was no exception!
Very quickly, under Perkins's constant little actions, he compromised.
"I want to collect a portion of the payment first!"
Sensing that the foot she kept using to make trouble had been grabbed by Hunter, the smile on Perkins's face grew even thicker as she looked at the handsome face of the young Asian opposite her.
She nodded without hesitation: "Alright!"
