title = Messing With Her? Are You Crazy! Chapter N

“Grinning Wraith, word is you personally took the bounty p>

“To make you step up, what kind of background does this woman have p>

“What kind of prey requires you to bring along so many top-ten hunters p>

“Come on, man, we all bleed for a living on the dark web. Can’t you share a little intel p>

“Yeah! A hundred trillion is too much for one guy to swallow, right? Let us get a piece of the pie p>

Jasper leaned lazily against the railing.

The silver-gray mask obscured his features, leaving only a pair of smiling eyes visible.

He was indeed smiling, but there was absolutely no warmth in his gaze.

He listened to them clamoring for intel, taking in the naked greed in their eyes.

They wanted to kill his little sister?

They wanted to steal his bounty?

They wanted to trade his sister’s head for cash?

Great.

Every single one of them had quite the imagination.

Jasper tapped his fingers lightly against the railing, drawling in a relaxed tone, “A piece of the pie p>

The crowd’s eyes lit up instantly as they nodded frantically.

Jasper tilted his head, the Grinning Wraith mask looking increasingly bizarre under the dim lights.

“Sure p>

He let out a chuckle, his tone utterly cavalier.

The breathing of the men around him grew ragged with excitement.

A hundred trillion dollars.

Even a tiny sliver of that would set them up for life.

Their expressions grew ever more frantic.

But the next second.

Jasper leisurely added, “As long as you stay alive long enough to spend it p>

The expressions around him shifted slightly.

A flash of apprehension crossed a few faces.

But others remained blindly, violently greedy.

The Grinning Wraith was undeniably terrifying to cross.

But the temptation of a hundred trillion was too immense.

It was massive enough to eclipse fear and nullify any threat.

Their ranks were too low to accept the contract officially.

But what if they stole the kill?

What if they got lucky in the chaos?

What if they could pry just a sliver of intel from The Grinning Wraith?

That money could still end up in their pockets.

One man even laughed. “Hunters trade blood for cash. Whoever bags the target gets the payout p>

“Grinning Wraith, once we’re out at sea, don’t blame us for not playing nice p>

Jasper’s eyes crinkled in a deeper smile. “I won’t. Take your best shot p>

His tone was airy, devoid of any anger.

Sloppy and lackadaisical.

It was so arrogant that it seemed he genuinely didn’t believe they could snatch the prey from him.

But in reality, Jasper was already mentally assigning a method of execution to each of them.

The one with the filthiest mouth-cut out his tongue.

The one who wanted to steal the kill-chop off his hands.

The one who suggested dicing her to pieces-he would literally be shredded.

And these few with shifty eyes, clearly planning to trail him in the shadows.

They didn’t get to live, either.

Once they reached international waters.

Every single hunter who dreamed of hurting his sister was going to die.

At another boarding gate in the Merchant’s Quarter.

Nicholas Blackwood’s boarding process was smoother than anyone else’s.

The identity of The Sterling Sovereign clearly held paramount authority on Project Zero-Transit.

The director in charge of the Merchant’s Quarter stood personally at the entrance to welcome him.
