Be Your Lover Forever (Alicia) novel Chapter 1306

"These are two completely different matters..." The man, Zayn, rubbed his fingertips, his meaning evident. It was a different price now.

"I'll give you another half a million dollars. I'll tell you where to get the money after you've done the deal! Whether you succeed or fail, this has nothing to do with me! I won't admit anything!"

Cloud gnashed her teeth, hair disheveled, looking ghostly, all obsessive.

"Don't worry; we're professionals. Hadn't you come to us because we're outlaws? We'll be lucky if we can live another day. As long as you give us enough money, anything is possible!"

With that, he ended the call.

"Zayn?"

"She wants the target dead!"

"Easy! We don't need to take her away anymore, don't we? Seeing that we just have to put a knife through her!" The other man, Taylor, tugged on his suit, clearly uncomfortable in it.

Zayn shot him a dirty look, retorting, "What do you know? Look at all the expensive cars around us. This is clearly a prestigious kindergarten! Any kids enrolled in this school are either from rich and powerful families or affiliated with them!"

"So we're making big bucks this time, aren't we?"

"You really are a dumba*s!" Zayn smacked his head hard, then sighed deeply.

"Do you think they don't have bodyguards with them? Our target must be a tricky one! Plus, our job this time is too rushed and risky! I doubt that that woman only hired us. I wouldn't have accepted this job if we weren't so desperate for money!"

"She's giving us hundreds of thousands of dollars. Why should we not take the job?" Zayn shot him another dirty look, and Taylor tucked his neck dispiritedly. "What do you mean?"

"Think about it, children are all precious to their parents, what more the rich and powerful? Besides, it's too wicked to kill a child. Even if we live our lives on the edge, we'll definitely rot in hell if we do this! What's more, the rich and powerful are well connected and money talks; they'll definitely have many people working for them. Who knows if somebody is helping them in the dark. Also, look at all these expensive cars. We'll be at a major disadvantage if we simply meddle in when we don't know what relationship our target has with any of them. More importantly, they're escorted into cars; the security is too tight. It'll be

hard for us to make our move!"

Zayn flicked the photos in his hand before continuing.

"Look at all these photos; they're clearly prepared in advance! Plus, clients would generally only want us to get the job done, but this one wants us to do it today! So I suspect she hadn't only hired us. She either has other collaboration or other purposes. You know what I'm most afraid of?"

Seeing Taylor only shake his head foolishly, Zayn rolled his eyes, speechless. "I'm just afraid that we'll become stepping stones and end up helping others achieve what they want before we realize we've been betrayed!"

How did he get stuck with such an idiotic partner? He was an absolute burden!

The issue wasn't the money if they failed, but that their lives would end right here!

"What? Are you saying she wants to put us out of business? Use us as a diversion and have others swoop in for the take, right? And she won't have to pay us the balance?! F*cking hell, this job, Zayn, we can't be the scapegoat!"

"But it's also possible that we're someone's stepping stone! This cunning vixen!" Zayn looked at the photos, obviously wavering.
