Mimi Beckett moved into the room next to Robin’s.
At this time, a wolf guard appeared at Robin’s window. “Sir.”
“What’s the situation?” Robin walked over with his hands behind his back and asked.
“Nothing found yet. The Harding family has long been operating in North Coast and is quite capable. Our people have infiltrated since the day before yesterday but acquired nothing. Even for the Beckett family, we haven’t discovered anything wrong.” The wolf guard reported.
“This is normal. After all, this malignancy has survived on the Kisia land for over a thousand years. Without some capabilities, how could they have lived until now? You can leave, continue investigating. I’ll think of something for the rest.” Robin gestured with his eyes.
“Yes.” The wolf guard disappeared and left.
At this time, knock knock knock, the door sounded.
Who was it again?
Robin went to open the door. This time, it was not Lili or Jeff, but Mimi Beckett wearing a strappy dress with wet hair dripping water. She was bare-faced but still looked rather cute.
Even with the strappy dress, one could still see Mimi Beckett’s impressive front.
There was an indescribable alluring feeling.
Taking two steps made them tremble and shake.
Captivating.
“What are you here for?”
However, Robin remained cold as ever, as if the alluring beauty before him was just a piece of wood.
“My hair dryer in my room is broken. I came to borrow a hair dryer.” Mimi Beckett said weakly, looking at him with a pair of watery eyes.
Her hair was still wet and dripping water.
“Why are you here?” Robin asked again.
“I bought this hotel, so I’m living next to you now.” Mimi Beckett smiled and replied.
“There can be nothing between you and me.” Robin laid his cards on the table.
He directly said there could be nothing between them.
He was here to complete a mission this time.
He did not want to take advantage of this woman, Mimi Beckett.
“I know.” Mimi Beckett nodded. She knew that this was how it always was on TV – a cold, ruthless killer would not easily get involved with others as that went against a killer’s principles.
But she was different.
She wanted to attract Robin and make him join the Beckett family as a son-in-law in the future instead of being a killer.
So the current Robin was like a checkpoint for her to conquer. Even if Robin continued to reject and remain cold towards her, she would not be discouraged. She rarely liked a man after all.
“Let me check.”
Mimi Beckett took out her phone and opened the dark web, inputting a name – X. A search immediately popped up but it was red with a skull symbol next to it, surprising her. “What does the red mean?”
“It means I’m very capable.”
Robin sighed and explained.
The name X, he had used it before, which was why he used Mr. X again back in Stillwater. And this Mr. X represented how he had slaughtered the former number one on the Darkboard, Basson, to obtain the red color.
But later he revealed his true identity.
So the name X dropped down on the Darkboard, becoming an inconspicuous name. But the red symbolized danger, while the skull signified extreme danger.
“Oh.” Mimi Beckett did not understand these things. The dark web was something she had others teach her recently, so she could not comprehend those symbols. Hearing it meant very capable, she was delighted that the man she liked was different and indeed very capable.
Then, following the instructions of the person who taught her today, she opened a dialog box and input: Protect Beckett family’s precious daughter, Mimi Beckett for one month. Reward: 50 million.
The corner of Robin’s mouth twitched.
This dialog box could be freely filled in for excessively large amounts like 100 billion, an island, or a military base.
The reds had this function.
Even the lowest was 1 billion.
And this girl had entered 50 million for Robin. Giggling craftily, she said, “We may not intersect, but if I’m guessing right, you’re an assassin. As an assassin, you have to take missions. You came to North Coast for a mission too, so take mine as well and complete both missions together. I don’t mind.”
She leaned forward slightly, revealing some cleavage, very tempting.
But Robin frowned. “Are you certain?”
“Of course I’m certain.” Mimi Beckett hurriedly nodded upon hearing this.
Her body also shaked and trembled.
“Then alright, first, 50 million is too low. One billion. Second, I’m not protecting you, Mimi Beckett, but your entire Beckett family. Third, one month is too long. Ten days, it has to end in ten days. Fourth, once I complete my other mission, I will leave North Coast. Your mission will be considered void.”
Robin said indifferently.
“Ten days?” Mimi Beckett’s face turned pale. Only ten days? She was not worried about the money, but afraid she could not conquer Robin in just ten days. She gritted her teeth and asked, “Fifteen days, can it be?”
“That’s fine too.” Robin nodded.
Anyway, with the fourth clause, he would deal with the Harding family and return to Stillwater within ten days. By then, he could consider this mission void since he would have left. As for taking advantage of Mimi Beckett’s feelings, that was a bit much.
But Robin was protecting the entire Beckett family, not just her alone.
From this perspective, Robin was not exploiting her.
Most importantly, if he rejected altogether, it would not fit this assassin persona. A ruthless assassin could be understood, but one who rejected money was hard to comprehend.
It might expose him.
“Okay.” Mimi Beckett also smiled, revealing a pair of cute little fangs. In her mind, she was confident she could succeed in fifteen days. But she thought of something else and asked again, “Right, how long will your other mission take?”
She was worried he would finish it in a few days and leave.
“Don’t know.” Robin replied.
His mission would be complete once he found the Harding family. If he could not find them, then he really did not know.
“That’s good then.” Mimi Beckett secretly said in her heart. Not knowing meant he was uncertain about that mission, uncertain meant a low success rate, a low success rate meant it may never be completed.
Then the time he stayed would be very long.
She was very happy.
Having asked all her questions, she shyly glanced at the single bed in the room and asked, “Um, can I sleep here tonight?”
Quite shameless now.
But she was determined to keep Robin and went all out.
However, all she got was a hair dryer flung directly into her arms. Then before she even knew it, she found herself standing at the doorway, patting her head in a daze. But looking at the hair dryer in her hand, she smiled.
“Patrick Bailey’s used hair dryer, Patrick Bailey’s used hair dryer, how wonderful. I’m going to hug it while sleeping tonight.”
“I just don’t know what kind of girl he likes. I dressed so seductively yet he didn’t even glance at me. But his lack of interest now proves that even after getting married in the future, he won’t look at other girls. How great.”
