Lydia still didn't trust the boy's words, but this time she didn't continue asking. Instead, she took out her cell phone and called the teacher at Yager School.

While on the phone, Molly was also looking at the little boy standing in the distance.

Yag Hawthorne, Jim and Lydia's biological son, just celebrated his twelfth birthday some time ago. He is currently in the sixth grade at a private elementary school in District 22 and will become a junior high school student in the second half of the year.

As a person...although he is a little naughty, he is not a bad person.

Jim and Lydia did not tell their son about their property. In Yag's eyes, his father was just a captain of a security company who was often on business trips, and his mother was the owner of a bar.

That's it.

Jim and Lydia obviously love their son very much, otherwise they would not have kept him from these things. Perhaps one day in the future, when Yager grows up a little, they may send him to live in a safer country.

But... they probably won't be able to wait until that day.

Thinking about the content of the commission, Molly felt inexplicably heavy.

While Molly was thinking about the entrustment, Lydia also ended the communication with the teacher at Yager School.

She hung up the phone and looked at Yager expressionlessly. Yager said with an expression of "I didn't lie to you":

"Right, I was right, school really ended early."

"Yes, school is over early." Lydia nodded.

Yager smiled and said, "Then I'll go back first..."

"But school ends earlier, at noon. Your school has no classes all afternoon today, and it's three o'clock in the afternoon now. So my dear son, can you tell me what you have been doing since school ended at 10:30 in the afternoon until now?"

Lydia asked with a wry smile.

Without having to face Lydia in person, even sitting next to her, Molly could feel her anger rising sharply.

In order to avoid being affected, Molly sat slightly aside, away from Lydia.

Lydia didn't care about Molly's little action. She still stared at her son, as if she was going to slap him in the face at the next second.

Molly could see the smile on Yager's face suddenly become stiff, and he subconsciously grabbed the small bag on his body.

Lydia knew something at this moment. She looked at Yager's bag with displeasure and asked:

"You went to bomb the streets again?"

The street bombing here does not refer to the behavior of those ghost-fire teenagers riding motorcycles on the road. The street bombing here specifically refers to deliberately doing something eye-catching to attract attention.

In the city of Chaos, what Lydia calls "street bombing" refers to graffiti on the streets without permission.

This kind of behavior would indeed be considered a violation in other more normal cities.

But in the city of chaos, such behavior is nothing at all. Even those who just scribble on the streets can be considered good people.

However, Lydia seemed to dislike her son's behavior.

Seeing that Yager kept silent, Lydia took a deep breath and said coldly:

"Go back to your room and read a book. You are not allowed to go out without my permission today!"

"..."

Yager didn't dare to refute and walked towards his room muttering to himself.

Delia then turned her head and looked at Molly, as if nothing had happened just now, and said to Molly:

"Sorry, I made you laugh."

"It's okay... Sister Lydia's child is very energetic."

If you don't know what to say, just say a few polite words. Everyone likes to hear nice words anyway.

Sure enough, hearing Molly's flattery, Lydia smiled with satisfaction:

"What do you mean he's full of energy? He's just a naughty little brat. If you see him on the street next time, remember to call me."

"Okay, Sister Lydia..."

"Okay, let's stop here for today. You can come and see me when you have time. I like to hear you sing, sing for me alone."

Lydia reached out and ruffled Molly's hair.

In just a few songs, Lydia became much closer to Molly.

Molly could see that Lydia seemed to have different feelings towards her. She didn't know if it was because of those songs or because of the characteristics of the [Genius Idol] skin.

But all in all, it is a good thing for the current situation. Molly can approach Lydia more freely in the future and gain her trust.

Of course, you still have to be a little careful when getting along with others.

Avoid being swallowed whole by Lydia.

After making an appointment with Lydia to come again next time, Molly left Lydia's house. At the same time, Molly received a call from Muzi, saying that the house that Muzi had prepared for Molly had been cleaned up.

She could move over there.

Chapter 50 There is a problem with the commission

The move didn't take Molly much time. All she had to do was contact the moving company and move into her new home.

Just after Molly moved into her new home, she received a call from Cowboy, saying that he had something to discuss with her.

then……

Molly once again came to the restaurant where they often met before.

"What's the matter? Why are you calling me out so urgently? I still have a lot of things to pack at home."

Molly stared at the cowboy with an unfriendly expression.

She decided that if the other party didn't have anything particularly important to say, she would beat him up later.

Although Molly was called out in such a hurry, it must be something urgent.

As expected, the cowboy did not delay the business. After Molly asked, he answered directly:

"We have a problem with our commission."

"Is there a problem?" Molly frowned. "What's the problem? Is Jim difficult to deal with?"

"Jim is easy to deal with, but Lydia is the troublesome one. Our employer never mentioned to us before that the one who is really difficult for the Hawthorn family to deal with is Lydia."

"… Tell me what's going on."

When she heard about Lydia, and thought about her recent mission to get close to Lydia, Molly suddenly became serious.

The cowboy did not hide anything. He took out a small projector from his pocket and placed it on the table. Then an intelligence screen was projected in front of Molly's eyes.

"Lydia Hawthorne can barely be considered a high-ranking member of the Skeleton Gang. She is in charge of all the sex trades within the Skeleton Gang, not just a bar.

“Jim used to be her thug. Later, because of her relationship and his own fighting ability, he became one of the signature thugs of the Skeleton Gang after undergoing some transformation. But even so, Jim is only a middle-level member of the Skeleton Gang.

"The most difficult person to deal with in the Hawthorne family is not Jim. He is nothing. But Lydia is different. If we want to deal with her, we must be prepared to face the Skull Gang's entire wanted list."

While listening to the cowboy talking about these things and reading the information in front of her, Molly couldn't help but gasp.

The information given by the employer was wrong, but...not to the point of being wrong. The person the employer commissioned to kill was Jim, and there was nothing wrong with the information about Jim.

But regarding the information about Lydia, he seemed to only regard Lydia as Jim's wife and Jim's vassal, but did not say that Lydia's status was higher than Jim's.

This is complete intelligence fraud!

"The client deceived us?"

Molly looked unhappy.

It would be fine if the intelligence was just wrong, but if the person the employer really wanted to deal with was Lydia, and commissioning them to assassinate Jim was just a side job, then this commission would be a fraud.

It's just like the Wave Country mission that Naruto's team did at the beginning of Naruto. On the surface it was an escort mission, but in fact it was to deal with S-level rebel ninjas.

If the intelligence is inaccurate and the mission is inaccurate, the consequences will be fatal.

If the employer did this on purpose, then Molly and Cowboy have the right to refuse this mission, and the employer will have to pay liquidated damages to them.

“It’s not clear whether he is lying to us. It’s possible that he doesn’t know Lydia’s identity, or it’s possible that he really wants to deal with Lydia, but because he doesn’t have enough money, he asked us to deal with Jim.

"But no matter which one it is, his current commission fee is not enough, so... we have to meet with him now."

"Agreed, do you know where he lives?"

"I don't know, but I know where he's going."

The cowboy smiled.

The employer's identity information is kept confidential from the middleman. Even if Cowboy asks Muzi what the employer's name is or where he lives, Muzi will not give Cowboy the relevant information.

Unless Cowboy can know the employer's name and then buy information about the employer from Muzi.

It is not allowed to investigate an employer, but it is not a violation to investigate a person whose name is known.

However, although he didn't know where he lived, the cowboy knew his employer's movements and had his contact information.

But because the employer might intentionally conceal the truth and might not answer the phone, Cowboy decided to meet with the employer in person to talk.

……

Area 22 Cemetery.

A man dressed in black, thin and with a face as pale as a dead person, stood in front of the huge tombstone holding a black umbrella.

On the huge tombstone are the names of one person after another, and below these names are square grids that store the ashes of the deceased.

At this moment, the man was standing in the middle of the tombstone, looking at the name and photo on it without any expression on his face.

There, a photo of a woman and a girl were placed side by side, with smiles on their faces, in stark contrast to the indifference on the man's face.

Under the photo of the woman, there was the name 'Ishikumeko'.

Under the girl's photo, there was the name 'Ishiki Miu'.

There is no doubt that they are the men's wives and daughters.

But they had already lost their lives and turned into corpses that would never move or laugh again. Then they turned into ashes weighing only a few kilograms. They were put into a box and buried in this cold cemetery.

This is a sad thing, but the man had already shed all his tears, and he couldn't cry even if he wanted to.

So he just stood there and watched, like a sculpture.

"Hey, Mr. Ishiki, long time no see."

Suddenly a voice appeared, causing the man's pupils, which were filled with stagnant water, to shake slightly.

He turned around and looked towards the place where the sound came from, where a man with a prosthetic right eye and wearing cowboy clothes stood.

He also held a black umbrella.

Next to the cowboy, a girl wearing a large red coat that could be used as a raincoat stood with her hands in her pockets.

Although she didn't speak, the man could see that the girl's eyes under her hood seemed to reveal a malicious look.

"… Is there something wrong? Or has your commission been completed?"

The two people in front of him were mercenaries commissioned by the man.

The man also said that they would not see each other again unless it was necessary unless the mission was completed.

However, now that the mercenaries have come forward, it means that either the commission has been completed or something unexpected has happened.

The mercenary codenamed Cowboy shook his head and said:

"It's not completed yet, but there are some problems with this commission, so we came to you to ask about some related matters."

"What went wrong?"

"Jim's wife, Lydia, you didn't tell me that her status is higher than Jim's, so we wanted to come here to ask, is it a mistake in intelligence, or is it..."

When the cowboy said this, his prosthetic right eye glowed scarlet:

"...You want us to kill a high-ranking member of the Skull Gang for 120,000 yuan?"

There was a smile on the cowboy's face, but his words were cold.

Not only the cowboy, but also the girl in red at the side stopped the man's actions. It was obvious that if the man did not give an explanation, there would be no way to resolve the situation today.

Chapter 51: You have to pay more!

Molly stood beside the cowboy, her steel claws ready to strike.
