Bone Spur originally wanted to loudly berate this newly arrived Team Leader for not insulting him with money.

But he was giving way too much!

Although 5,000 points wasn't some unattainable figure for him either—sometimes with good luck he could land two or three commissions at this price range in a month...

But receiving a 5,000-point meeting gift without having done anything yet was still a different matter.

Moreover, the form of these 5,000 points was Golden Vouchers, which just looked imposing and luxurious.

Clutching the five stiff paper cards in his hand, Bone Spur felt at one moment like he was holding the keys to the latest CT-series motorcycle from the Universal General Chamber of Commerce, and at another moment like he was gripping the door key to half of an outer city duplex apartment.

After pondering for a long time, he tucked the Golden Vouchers into his chest pocket and looked at the man in the white trench coat, snorting coldly as he spoke, "Since you're the employer's appointed confidant, I suppose you must have some brains and know the inner city situation fairly well."

"This mission requires infiltrating the three major corporations, so listening to your arrangements is indeed appropriate."

During this time, the Team Leader had also taken the opportunity to stuff five Golden Vouchers into everyone else's hands and finished listening to Big Ball's introductions of everyone.

He spoke with a laugh, "Ahaha, Bone Spur, right? I am indeed quite familiar with all three major corporations!"

"But this time, we're not infiltrating the headquarters of the three major corporations."

As he spoke, he closed the private room door, then pulled from his chest a box-shaped device that looked like a timed bomb.

However, when the Team Leader opened this thing, it didn't explode.

Big Ball exclaimed in surprise, "Damn, the Universal General Chamber of Commerce's 'Portable Secret Meeting Room'... I hear this thing can block all signals and recording devices once activated. Sir, you truly live up to being a great noble's confidant, able to get your hands on such good stuff."

Lin Yu, listening nearby to Big Ball's explanation, understood inwardly.

They were probably about to explain the mission content now!

So, he also took the opportunity to ask.

"Not going to the three major corporations' headquarters, what does that mean? This isn't what was said when accepting the mission!"

Lin Yu said arrogantly. The Team Leader smiled.

"This is an assassination commission, so the assassination target will move around... High-level executives of the three major corporations also need to go home and travel on business."

Bone Spur also nodded in support, "If he's not at the three major corporations' headquarters, it's actually simpler for us. For us, it's good news anyway. There's definitely no place in Sleepless City harder to enter than the three major corporations' headquarters."

Lin Yu looked at the smiling, silent Team Leader beside him and said, "That's not necessarily true."

The Team Leader, sensing Lin Yu's gaze, smiled, "At least it's definitely not harder..."

"Everyone, please look at the materials."

He pulled four sets of paper documents from his trench coat and handed them to the four people.

Opening the first page, Bone Spur, who had just been speaking in the Team Leader's support, instantly cried out.

"What the hell?!"

Big Ball also immediately spoke up, "This... this, this is too exaggerated!"

Even Zhu Rong couldn't help but softly utter a "tsk" sound.

After seeing everyone's reactions, Lin Yu's gaze fell back onto the materials, not feeling surprised in the slightest.

Because the location shown on the materials was the Sleepless Sky Family's estate.

The estates and mansions of the five great noble families in Sleepless City's inner city are practically equivalent to cities within the city!

This place is indeed much harder to enter than the three major corporations' headquarters—after all, the three major corporations still have employees, contractors, and partners who can come and go daily.

But the mansions of the Peerage Nobility can only be entered by invited nobles.

"We're going to the Sleepless Sky Estate? Are you kidding!"

Bone Spur looked at the Team Leader.

The Team Leader motioned for them to continue reading, "Don't get excited yet. I'm not asking you to just swagger right in..."

Lin Yu flipped to the next page and saw the specific timing.

"Three days from now, the Sleepless Sky Estate will host a banquet to celebrate Second Miss Sleepless Sky Huoxing's twentieth birthday..."

In the eyes of Sleepless City's nobility, a woman's twentieth year is when she comes of age and should begin selecting a husband.

Therefore, a noble young lady's twentieth birthday must be celebrated lavishly.

Especially for the Peerage Nobility.

"Having a birthday banquet is indeed better, since it will invite many celebrities, nobles, and executives from major corporations. But for mercenaries from the outer city fringes like us to sneak in is still not easy," Big Ball sighed as he spoke, "After all, judging by our demeanor, we just look like outer city folks..."

As he spoke, he suddenly glanced at Lin Yu.

"Uh, at least most of us."

Big Ball amended his statement.

Lin Yu, however, looked curiously at the Team Leader.

"Surely you'll provide us with identities to blend in, won't you?"

"Of course not," the Team Leader smiled and wagged his finger, "It seems you rarely take inner city-related missions... My employer is offering this price precisely because he doesn't want any trouble traced back to him."

"If he provided infiltration channels, it could be traced back somehow—so, I hope everyone can showcase their unique abilities and figure out how to infiltrate on your own."

Bone Spur couldn't help but mutter, "I knew a mission at this price wouldn't be that simple... But seeing how much you're paying..."

As he spoke, he flipped to another page.

Bone Spur's expression drastically changed, "Damn it, I quit—you call this A-2 level?!"

Hearing Bone Spur's urgent tone that didn't sound like a joke, everyone quickly looked at the mission target.

After Lin Yu flipped over, he saw a photo of an old man.

The photo seemed to have been taken secretly, showing the old man stepping out of a car.

The old man looked to be in his eighties or nineties, yet his posture was upright and straight.

"Please, during Sleepless Sky Huoxing's birthday banquet, within the Sleepless Sky Family estate, find an opportunity to assassinate Truth Corporation's A-2 level supervisor, Alt Mercury."

Even Big Ball, who had been showing a friendly demeanor, turned hostile.

"This job, we can't take it."

The Team Leader chuckled and pulled out a new stack of Golden Vouchers from his chest—judging by the thickness, it was worth at least fifty or sixty thousand in face value.

"Everyone, don't be hasty..."

"This isn't about money."

Bone Spur said coldly.

"Yes, this isn't about money," the Team Leader said with a smile, "But do you think, now that you already know someone wants to assassinate Alt Mercury, you still have room to back out?"

His other hand pulled a button from his chest, and he casually lifted his trench coat.

Under the Team Leader's white trench coat, rows upon rows of white-glowing boxes wrapped around him were revealed.

Even if Lin Yu didn't recognize this thing, he could sense its purpose.

To create some kind of enormously powerful explosion!

Big Ball and Bone Spur were both horrified, speechless, their expressions shifting between dark and light.

Only Zhu Rong remained calm. She stood up, hands in her pockets, and walked to the very front of everyone.

She stared straight at the Team Leader, her fiery red eyes as bright and clear as agate.

Zhu Rong uttered two words.

"Fine."

Then, she added three more words.

"Add more money."
