You were taking cover behind a crate and firing back at a group of cultists.



Yellow: "White, what's your status?"



"Hit some complications along the way."



Yellow: "Me too. What the hell's with these cultists? I'm pretty sure no one hates drugs and self-indulgent people."



Cyan: "Well, that doesn't seem to stop them from believing they speak for God."



Red: "Just kill these guys."



Pink: "Guys, Lagoon Company has arrived. Looks like they also got hired for this."



White: "Keep pushing forward! We ain't letting this get stolen from us."



Yellow: "Heck yeah! Let's party, dudes!"



Cyan: "I'm always babysitting this guy."



Pink: "White, I see Shenhua moving through the base. Looks like she's aiming for the leader."



"She ain't stealing our kill."



You killed the Cultists firing at you and continued moving through the base. You then reached a large room decorated to be what they believe is a holy ground, but all you can see are all the crates and what they contain in them.



"Yep, nothing says "Man of God" like crates of drugs and a room for indulging in hedonism."



Shenhua: "Just go to show how fucked up guy is."



"You can say that again. Nice to see you, Shenhua, but I ain't letting you steal my target."



Shenhua: "We'll see."



The cult leader fired a bullet as you dodged the shots.



"You are trespassing on the sacred ground of God!"



"I don't know much about God, but I know this is enough to make him condemn you."



You fired back and Shenhua made her way to the top platform. You shot a loose catwalk, causing the leader to be cornered.



Shenhua: "Now, now, just die nice and easy."



The cult leader fired another bullet at Shenhua and she dodged it while you shot the cult leader through the head and killed him.



"Got my kill."



Shenhua: "Why do they hire multiple assassins for this thing? They even let the bitch from Lagoon Company in this."



"I guess that's what happens when someone stirs enough trouble to cause every crime syndicate to hate them."



"White, you kill that sucker?" Yellow asked through your portable radio.



"Mission accomplished. Head back to headquarters. I'll meet you there."



Red: "Okay."



Cyan: "Don't get yourself killed."



Pink: "See you there."



"Let's leave before Revy gets pissed at us getting here before her."



Shenhua: "Okay then. I do not want to deal with whiny bitch."



You and Shenhua left through an emergency exit, then sat in a building and shared a drink together.



Shenhua: "White, you enjoy being assassin? Say truth."



White: "That's tricky, but I can say that I prefer being the one to end scumbags lives instead of being killed by them."



Shenhua: "I respect that. Do whatever it takes to avoid becoming corpse for real."



"Yeah," you said as you resumed drinking.
