Living With My Lady Boss by Blue Silver novel Chapter 1744

However, there was a steadfastness in Demetra's eyes that almost never changed.

Seeing Demetra's demeanor, Jeckle felt a strong sense of disgust but suppressed his anger and said, "Last time, you looked at me with the same expression. It's been nearly five years, and it seems you haven't changed."

Demetra pointed at Jeckle and then at himself, saying, "Mr. Jeckle, a soldier who doesn't aspire to be a general, isn't a good soldier. In fact, you and I are the same. You were once an assassin, but later, someone recognized you, and you eventually rose to your current position. Since you could do it, why can't I?"

A slight curve appeared at the corner of Demetra's mouth as he said, "One day, I'll be in your position. At that time, perhaps I'll be the one giving you orders, Sir Jeckle."

With a cold sneer, Jeckle did not want to argue with Demetra. In Jeckle's eyes, Demetra was just an ignorant assassin. How could such a person, who could only be manipulated, understand his sacrifices and hardships?

Immediately, Jeckle nodded and said, "Well, it seems you're indeed ambitious. Avinki has already informed you about Mondorra and Clark, right?"

"Yeah."

Demetra nodded and said, "It's nothing impressive, just a peak Sanctuary level powerhouse who might be close to the Emperor level. It'll be easy to deal with him."

Demetra's code name was Blade, and he was originally an orphan raised in Cherrytopia. Because of Demetra's rapid progress in cultivation, he was later noticed by Greensource Corp and specifically selected, then sent to the Cametra.

Demetra trained in secret in Cametra for ten years. After emerging, he completed ten C level tasks within a month, all with the method of severing their throats with a single knife strike. Greensource Corp then decided to make an exception and promote Demetra's status to handle B level tasks.

Originally, Demetra could have been promoted further, but because of one mistake, he was suppressed by Greensource Corp. For five whole years, he had not received any tasks.

Five years had passed, and Demetra finally received his first task.

Tina's knocking was heard from outside the attic. Wilbur finished his meditation, opened his eyes, got up, and opened the door to see Tina walking in with breakfast in her hands.

"Good morning, Mr. Penn. You must be hungry, right?"

Wilbur did not hesitate and sat down to eat breakfast. At this moment, Tina noticed that Wilbur's suit on the side with many holes in it. She frowned and asked, "Mr. Penn, did something happen last night?"

He did not conceal anything and said bluntly, "Yes. Last night, people from Greensource Corp came, but I took care of them."

Tina glanced at the holes in the suit, feeling alarmed, and asked with concern, "Are you hurt, Mr. Penn? Are you okay?"

"I'm fine. After a night of rest, I've already recovered."
