Chapter 255: Assasination
“I’m so sorry, honey. I’m going to excuse you for 10 minutes. I just got a message from my personal secretary saying I need to send her an email right away because it’s a big business.”
Although this lady was obviously dressed up at first glance; she was wearing Chanel’s latest spring women’s clothing, but to be honest, her appearance was very ordinary and her figure was also very bloated. The only bulged part of her body was the belly.
She looked at the man with affection and said,
“Okay, I’ll wait for you, Rondo.”
Rondo looked a bit like Mr. Tony.
Yes, the guy who inherited the entire industry group and was still very talented.
Of course, his appearance, speech, demeanor, and talent were also irresistible to women.
Facing the lady’s scorching gaze, Rondo smiled, nodded politely, and turned to leave.
In the eyes of others, this man and woman should have been lovers for many years, but they were still strangers 4 hours ago. The process of knowing each other was also very old-fashioned.
The lady named Casadella accidentally fell, then she was held by a gentleman from the back.
Casadella thought it was a match made in heaven and a gift from God to her who still hadn’t married at 48 years old.
However, this so-called chance encounter was planned in advance. Rondo preferred a beautiful 18-year-old blond girl with a curvy figure. He only flirted with her because of her identity.
Because Casadella’s identity was the technical director of a Swiss pharmaceutical company that ranked among the top 500 in the world. The actual controlling party of this pharmaceutical company was the most mysterious organization in the world, Umbrelia Corporation!!
Yes, Ronda was still a contestant rather than a contractor, which didn’t mean that his strength was unqualified, but because he did not want to be a contractor for the time being.
He knew that after becoming a contractor, he would be given extra attention by the Space while being a contestant would only be regarded as a cannon fodder.
However, Rondo also heard a little news, that was, if he could change class as a contestant, the Space would think that he had more potential, and he would be given additional rewards.
So, if he changed class before becoming a contractor, he would get some benefits.
The most intuitive benefit was that the talent-enhancing skill acquired when becoming a contractor. He could choose to enhance either talent or class characteristics.
This didn’t seem to make much of a difference because talent and class characteristics were very important things.
The class that Rondo planned to change was quite special, which was a rare class. The class characteristics were mostly fixed after changing. There were only 2 possibilities for promotion.
The first was to get the legendary golden talent point.
The second was to make a second class change, for example, the second class change of warrior was berserker/defense fighter/offense fighter.
After doing this, he could have an opportunity to improve his class characteristics very early, which was equivalent to enjoying some of the benefits brought by the second class change in advance.
Rondo felt that the enhancement of his talent was obviously not as cost-effective as the enhancement of class characteristics, so he had always maintained his status as a contestant. It definitely did not mean that his immediate combat power was weak.
Rondo’s excuse to send an email was to get a side mission done.
Rondo received a prompt from the Space an hour ago saying a worthy target had appeared on board.
The name of this target was Wrench, and it seemed that he was blacklisted for stealing Umbrelia Corporation’s internal secrets, but because of the recent power struggle within the Umbrelia Corporation, they didn’t have the energy to find this target.
If Rondo could kill him, the confidential documents dropped were very important to the Umbrelia Corporation and could greatly improve his reputation.
And this side mission had no punishment, which seemed very loose.
For Rondo, this side mission was like a savory dessert, which he certainly wouldn’t miss.
After he returned to the room, he quickly took off his clothes, put on sunglasses and dressed himself up completely, then he left the room and wandered in the corridor.
Soon, he saw a well-dressed waiter and snapped his fingers, and the waiter immediately walked over with a smile and said,
“Sir, what can I do for you?”
Rondo took out a stack of euros from his arms, counted 10 100 cash in front of the waiter, put them in his palm and said,
“When I was just boarding the ship, I found an old friend I hadn’t seen for many years. I was about to greet him in surprise, but the president just called me, and I couldn’t see him after such a delay… I wonder if you can help me find him?”
The waiter smiled and said,
“If you can provide the gentleman’s name or photograph.”
Rondo immediately said,
“Of course, his name is Wrench. He’s from Malaysia, and he’s probably in his twenties.”
The waiter immediately made a phone call and said something embarrassing later,
“Sir, we cannot disclose the privacy of our guests without authorization. This is illegal, and the guy who checks the information is an old-fashioned…”
Rondo smiled and handed over the thousand euros in his hand,
“I think you can try to convince him.”
The waiter immediately took the money and smiled,
“Yes, sir, I’ll try it now.”
After finishing speaking, the waiter called the phone again, then he gave Rondo an accurate data,
“Sir, your friend is in Room 9428.”
Rondo nodded,
“Thank you very much.”
***
10 minutes later, Rondo came to the toilet on the 9th floor of the cruise ship and checked his supplies and items. After that, he came the porthole of the toilet.
At this time, the crew and guests were almost all concentrated in the area of the carnival party. There was basically no one here. When Rondo turned his wrist, a dagger appeared in his palm. This dagger seemed to have a fragile sharpness. As if it was forged with an ice blade, there was a faint green light on the blade.
The porthole on the toilet was sealed, so it couldn’t be pushed open at all. However, Rondo easily broke it using the dagger, then he pushed the oval porthole into the sea.
Immediately afterward, Rondo jumped out.
Of course, he didn’t want to commit suicide by jumping into the sea, but he held firmly to the hull before he fell, then he began to crawl like a lizard.
The cruise ship was sailing in the open sea. The wind was high and the waves were rough, and the surroundings were dark. The brightness on the hull was completely like a small black spot, which would not attract the attention of others at all. He quickly moved laterally and came to the outside of Room 9428.
This room belonged to the VIP cabin, second only to the existence of the stateroom suite on the cruise. To put it simply, it was equivalent to a standard room in a four-star hotel. The living area of the room was about 30 square meters, and it not only had windows that could be opened, but there was also a small balcony.
Although the small balcony area was not large, it was enough to put a small round table and 2 beach chairs. Whether it was to chat and smoke with a friend to enjoy the sea view or to drink red wine with a girlfriend to enjoy the starry night at the sea or the wind and sunshine during the day, this mini balcony could perfectly meet their needs.
Rondo successfully climbed to the top of this small balcony, then he dropped down. Surprisingly, it was completely silent when he landed like a cat landing.
“Huh?” At this time, Rondo suddenly felt a sense of being watched. He looked around, but he didn’t notice anything unusual. All he heard was the sound of the wind blowing through the waves, and it was dark all around. He shook his head with a smile, then he looked in through the gap.
Immediately, Rondo saw that the target he wanted to kill was lying on the bed with his back facing the balcony. He was snoring slightly. The notebook beside was still lit, and there was a cup of coffee on the table.
As precautions, Rondo cast [Reconnaissance] on the target, then saw a series of data popped up.
“Eh, the other party is also a contestant? I only detected limited data. The highest attribute is spirit, the lowest attribute is… a mere 6 points in stamina! Hehe, what a coincidence, killing this kind of standard squishy mage is my favorite.”
Rondo sneered. The data would not lie, and he was even more confident in this battle at this time.
So, in the next second, Rondo jumped forward, and the steel plastic door was smashed like it was paper. He was charging in like a cheetah, then he stabbed the man on the bed with a dagger!
Rank B Ability: Poison Attack!
This guy was a typical combat-type assassin. His explosive power was extremely powerful. Once he got within a certain distance of the target, the target was basically dead without resistance.
Not only that, because his attributes focused on agilily+stamina, so he was not as weak as ordinary agility+strength assassins. Often after a successful assassination, he still could break through the encirclement and flee far away.
