Soon after Josephine left, four men d in all-ck outfits with daggers tucked in their belts snuck into
Charles'' room soundlessly.

Based on their get-up and the sleek manner in which they moved, it was obvious that they were
professional assassins.
Charles did not even realize it when they stopped directly behind him.
Fortunately, they did not attack the man.
Instead, the thin and tall leader pped his hands, announcing their presence. “Mr. Darwins, you asked
for us?”
Hearing the sound, Charles almost jumped out of his skin as he jerked in surprise.
Swiveling around and seeing the four men standing behind him, he almost burst with fury. “Godd*mnit!
How could you have entered without making a sound at all? Were you trying to scare me to death?”
The leader answered shortly, “We''re on a tight schedule, Mr. Darwins. Let''s cut to the chase. Why did
you summon us?”
Charles suddenly chuckled as he answered, “You''re four professional assassins, and yet you''re asking
such a silly question. Of course I summoned you here because there''s a man I want dead.”
The leader nodded. “No problem. As usual, we''ll require a deposit equivalent to half of the amount
before taking action.”
The fact that the leader had used the words “as usual” indicated this was not Charles'' first time hiring
them as assassins.
“No. This time, I will pay in full upfront and double the usual amount,” Charles stated.
Thenky leader smiled. “Very well, Mr. Darwins. You may rest assured that we''ll perform the job
efficiently and without leaving a single trace.”
“However, this time, I don''t just want a man killed. I also have an additional request,” Charles added.
“Please exin,” came the leader''s terse reply.
“The targets are staying right here in Grand Royal Hotel. You can find them in the presidential suite.
They''re a couple, and I want you to kill the man and administer a drug to the woman,” Charles
borated.
Hearing that, the leader instantly looked a little reluctant. “That means you''re asking us to finish off two
targets, Mr. Darwins, which also means the double payment is only fair to us. Besides, why would you
want us to poison the woman? We could outright kill her, and it would be an easier and cleaner job as
well.”
“No, the drug that I want to give her isn''t poison,” Charles exined as he threw a small porcin
bottle to the leader. “You know what this is, don''t you?”
The leader shot him a quizzical look as he unscrewed the bottle. However, upon catching a whiff of the
scent that came out of it, he understood instantly. “I see what you''re in the mood for, Mr. Darwins. All
right, then. We will do as you say.”
Charles nodded. “Go on and take action, then. The sooner, the better. Oh, and by the way, there''s also
a little girl with them. I''ll need you to bring her here to my room, just so that she won''t get in the way.”
Huh?
The four assassins suddenly hesitated.
Finally, their leader spoke. “A man, a woman, and a child... Is this a family of three we''re talking about?
The way I see it, Mr. Darwins, we''d better call this off. Isn''t there an abundance of women in this world?
Why would you be so hung up on this one?”
Charles sneered at that. “Remember your identities, guys. You are assassins! Since when have you
started letting kindness andpassion dictate your actions? What a joke! You should all quit your
jobs and turn into monks instead!”
Seeing that Charles was resolute in his decision, the assassins had no choice but to go along with it.
“We''ll do what we''re paid for.”
Thus, the four assassins waited till the middle of the night and then set out to perform their mission.
Keeping themselves in the blind spots, they advanced to the presidential suite on the top floor
stealthily, their movements silent as ghosts.
Barely a moment after they left, Charles dug out another small porcin bottle of aphrodisiac and
downed its contents.
Hey staring at the ceiling with a hungry expression on his face. “I''ming, Babe. We''re going to
have the wildest fun tonight. Oh, yes, we are.”
