Chapter 1476
“Questionable credibility, money-hungry, highly capable, and a ruthless opportunist. That kind of persona is exactly what fits that ship p>
She paused, then added, “Besides, this identity gives you a lot of room to operate p>
“If someone wants you to save a life, you can demand an extortionate fee p>
“If someone wants your drugs, you can hike up the price on the spot p>
“If someone tries to double-cross you, you can cross them right back p>
“Don’t worry, this identity is perfect for you p>
Serena couldn’t help but laugh. “You really thought of everything p>
It was true. In a place like Whitecliffe Harbor, a flawless persona was the most suspicious thing of all.
A money-grubbing, unreliable pharmacist with genuine skills was much easier to slip past their defenses.
“Of course! With me on the job, how could there be any issues?” Hazel boasted proudly, crunching loudly on her pastry.
Serena smiled faintly. “What about the pass p>
“Sent it to you as well,” Hazel replied. “It’s an unbound Raven-Plume credential intercepted by Ghost Alliance informants from the outer black market of Whitecliffe Harbor. Completely clean. Didn’t go through the Obsidian Sun’s channels p>
“Someone recently put out a massive bounty for medication to stabilize special test subjects. It’s the perfect excuse to insert The Panacea into the mix p>
Serena opened the second file.
A black, raven-feather-shaped electronic pass hovered quietly on the screen.
Her lips curved into a smirk before her gaze returned to the pastry Hazel was still chewing.
Her tone was nonchalant. “Hazel p>
“Hmm p>
“Watch what you say over the next few days p>
Hazel froze mid-bite, suddenly feeling guilty. “W-when do I ever say the wrong thing p>
Serena narrowed her eyes. “Why do you look so guilty p>
Hazel was speechless.
She immediately sat up straight, trying to prove her innocence through the screen. “I’m not! Do I look like the kind of person who’d spill p>
“No,” Serena replied calmly. “But Julian’s culinary temptations are enough to make you drop your guard p>
Obviously, Serena had recognized that the pastry Hazel was eating had been made by Julian.
Hazel gave an awkward laugh. “Relax, my lips are sealed p>
She quickly changed the subject. “By the way, are you really planning to go alone?” Serena lowered her eyes, the smile fading from her expression. “Yes p>
Hazel remained quiet for a few seconds. “Your brothers, and Nicholas… they’ll lose their minds if they find out p>
“That is exactly why they cannot know,” Serena said.
She looked out the window again.
The night was heavy, like a massive
binet
dark net slowly unfurling. “Once completely dismantle the Obsidian Sus I will apologize to them p>
Hazel sighed. “If they heard you say that, they’d probably accuse you of treating
them like outsiders again p>
Serena said nothing.
They were certainly not outsiders.
It was precisely because they weren’t outsiders that she couldn’t let them come.
She had walked through too many perilous places alone.
Whether it was the Gray Zone.
The international danger zones.
Or the traps left behind by the Obsidian Sun.
She was used to keeping the danger securely in her own hands.
But now, things were different.
Now, she had family behind her. She had people to care about and
provisional fiance who had just begged for his official title.
They wanted to protect her.
And she wanted to protect them.
Serena looked at the pass bound to ‘The Panacea’ persona on her screen, her voice
low. “Three days p>
“Hopefully, everything will finally end p>
Hazel paused her chewing.
After a long moment, she looked
seriously into the camera. “Demon, only have one demand You
must come back alive p>
Serena lowered her gaze, the cold light of the screen reflecting in her clear eyes. “I
will p>
