Four o’clock, the client arrived on time.
During this period, Flossie Wright paid special attention but did not see Bailey Maynard’s team, nor did she see Daisy Deacon’s trace.
Not until she saw the client and spotted Daisy in one of the teams, did Flossie finally understand.
It turned out Bailey wasn’t recruited but was here to recruit others.
Noticing Ice’s calm expression, Flossie cast a glance over, her thin lips parted slightly, and her light words reached Ice’s ears.
Ice glanced at her imperceptibly and nodded.
Flossie then withdrew her gaze.
It’s been a long time since Flossie had seen such a grand scene. Her eyebrows perked up with faint interest as she propped her chin with one hand, leisurely watching the upcoming "show."
Unknown what tricks Daisy pulled, but this time it was Daisy leading, with the people of Bailey obediently following her orders, dutifully trailing behind.
Accompanying her was another team in uniform, presumably the "pawns of the revolutionaries" as mentioned in the prior intel.
The two groups walked into the pub, and just by their aura, they suppressed all the present mercenary corps.
The previously clamorous sounds turned into low discussions, and Flossie listened around, mostly about Daisy.
Since they knew about Slaughter, they naturally knew Daisy, and the news of Slaughter’s disbandment was no longer a secret. Now, with Daisy as Slaughter’s head appearing with Bailey, it’s no ordinary surprise.
In the blink of an eye, most of the attention was focused on Daisy.
"Everyone seems quite interested in me." Daisy said with a smiling gaze, playing with a gun in her hand. As her sight skimmed past Flossie and others, there was no hint of recognition, as if she didn’t know them at all.
With that sentence, the lively discussions abruptly stopped.
No matter what, Daisy’s presence was a certain pressure. Even if their brains clearly recognized that Slaughter had disbanded and Slaughter couldn’t pose a threat to them, still, it was Daisy, after all. Two women could create such a renowned Slaughter, most had a subconscious fear.
Often, you don’t know this person, but when you constantly hear various tales about them, a kind of initial impression naturally forms. If this person appears in front of you, not in a sorry state or barely noticeable, as long as they match even a bit of the rumored image, your heart accepts that "first impression."
"Let’s talk business."
Daisy, with her arms crossed, spoke to the leader of the revolutionaries.

The leader nodded, then under the watchful eyes of the crowd, stepped forward a few steps, his face so stern it seemed without any expression.
"First of all, welcome everyone to this place..."
The leader said in a serious tone, articulating each word clearly to ensure everyone heard him clearly.
On Flossie’s side, she crossed her legs, leisurely taking a sip of whiskey, listening to what the man proposed in terms of mission requirements and ultimate benefits after he finished his formalities.
Overall, these mercenary corps here to participate in the mission weren’t at a loss.
It was essentially a life-risking job, but the commission price this time was absurdly high. Yet, as previously heard, when these people joined forces against the peacekeeping forces, Flossie wasn’t very pleased.
