"Do you have money?"
Retracting her hand, Flossie Wright’s words were chilling.
Narrowing his eyes, Glenn Hutchinson asked directly, "What do you want to do?"
"Make a call."
Her gaze turned icy as Flossie spoke coldly.
Pausing slightly, Glenn Hutchinson quickly understood.
What she was about to do next, using his phone to make a call, wasn’t exactly convenient.
Yet, he still couldn’t grasp Flossie’s intentions.
Without asking more, Glenn Hutchinson drove to a roadside public phone booth and bought a card for Flossie from a newsstand.
Flossie went to make the call on her own.
Standing by the phone booth, Flossie adjusted the brim of her hat, inserted the card, and dialed a vaguely familiar number.
She rarely stored other people’s phone numbers, preferring to rely on her memory, especially when it concerned dangerous individuals. Revealing contact information was never wise.
Luckily, years of practice had honed her memory. After confirming the number twice, Flossie pressed the confirm button.
Fortunately, the phone wasn’t disconnected.
After ringing for twenty seconds, the call was finally answered.
Yet no words were spoken immediately.
Leaning beside it, Flossie’s brow slightly furrowed, and she spoke softly, "Basil."
A dangerous, low voice came from the other end.
It was in English.
Pausing slightly, Flossie’s tone deepened, "Erina Taylor’s friend."
"She wouldn’t give my private number to others," Basil’s voice grew more dangerous, "Tell me, who are you?"
Flossie touched her nose.
Even she hadn’t anticipated a day like this, bringing out her past life.
She couldn’t explain in detail.
Firstly, the more she said, the more likely she was to give something away.
Secondly, if time drags on, Basil’s team could locate her coordinates at any moment.
Erina is already dead, randomly bringing her up would indeed arouse suspicion.
"That’s something you don’t need to know," Flossie’s attitude hardened instantly, "Erina introduced you before. I’m reaching out as a client."
Basil refused without hesitation.
"It’s related to Erina." Flossie brought the subject up again.
"Let’s hear it."
"Slaughter is fragmented, founded by Erina alone. I need the head of the instigator, Andrew," Flossie said calmly, "The reward is up to you."
Silence fell on the other end of the call immediately.
Soon after, the sound of a keyboard being tapped could be heard.
A moment later, Basil spoke, "This one is on the house."
Flossie curved her lips.
With a click, the call was cut off.
Basil is an assassin.
He has a team of assassins with only four members, each with their unique skills, rivaling special forces.
Able to come and go without a trace, they are most suited for completing assassination missions.
Erina met him in West Hare. The two crossed paths due to different missions in the same place, and with nothing better to do after completing her mission, Erina saved his life.
Without discussing camaraderie, Basil, owing Erina a debt of life, would take on this task.
Of course—
The money still needs to be paid.
They take risks and couldn’t possibly end up with nothing to gain in the end.
After finishing the call, Flossie yanked the card out, snapped it, and threw it into the trash can.
