She pressed a kiss against his lips lovingly. "Hubby, where are you headed to?"
"I'll head to Panama first, before heading to Mo Jia La Island near the Pacific Ocean. That is where Mark was last seen." He did not conceal Mark's disappearance from her.
"En." She nodded obediently. "But, I wish to go with you."
She had discovered that events were not unfolding as they did in her previous life. There was a possibility that the both of them would not live till the day they fell from the building in the previous life.
Thus, she was especially worried.
"No." He refused her with a heavy expression.
She lifted her chin and spoke unhappily. "Are you worried that I'll be a burden to you?"
In their previous life, she had only begun to lose weight and heal her face after marrying him. It was unlike this life, where she had already become thin and beautiful before their marriage.
Back then, for the sake of quickly losing weight, she had hired professionals to teach her wrestling, judo and Chinese boxing.
She had even learned how to shoot.
As she was Madam Manoban, she was able to rely on Lisa's face to hire the best of the best.
She was innately talented and had trained very well. It was unfortunate that the same could not be said about her intelligence and she fell for countless schemes.
In this life, she also frequently practiced the skills she had previously learned, in secret.
With the assistance of her special abilities, her capabilities were further enhanced. She did all of this for the sake of ensuring that she would not be a burden to him again.
By now, her gun skills were already perfect. Her combat skills were also much better than what they had been in her previous life.
The problem was that they rarely met with any trouble. She was also too lazy to declare to the world that she was good at fighting.
Lisa also never inquired about it. Perhaps letting the Blood Fiend Alliance assume that she was helpless may give her an advantage some day.
"Silly, how could you say something like that?" He slapped her elbow slightly with a frown.
His tone however, was filled with heartache. "Remember, you're never a burden to me. Even if the day comes where you do end up being a burden, I would be more than willing to have you by my side."
"Uu... Hubby." She pressed her little face against his chest. "Won't you take me with you?"
"No." He was not someone who would change his mind easily.
Jennie also did not wish to argue with him.
Hei Xiao's headquarters was located in an underground abandoned city in the desert outside the border.
The headquarters itself appeared to be a city on its own. The entrance was made of enormous and heavy steel gates. It was likely that even a bomb wouldn't be able to break this thing. It had its own high-technology laboratory, a warehouse filled with heavy-duty weapons, a storeroom for food reserves, individual apartment spaces, a conference room...
Jennie had never visited this place in her previous life. She was truly taken aback by the sight of it and was left in awe.
If she stayed here, she would be absolutely safe. Even ghosts wouldn't be able to locate her.
Under Lisa's command, all the assassins who were not engaged in missions swore to ensure her safety with their lives and to absolutely obey her command.
In one of the apartments in the base, Lisa embraced her thoroughly before he forced himself to leave.
He also informed her that he would return soon.
As she took in his back view, she instinctively felt that something was bound to go wrong.
However, she did not have any memories relating to the events that would soon occur.
Furthermore, it seemed like the current trajectory of events would not resemble the one that occurred in their previous lifetime...
...
In Panama.
Lisa stepped out of a stunningly elegant villa and headed to the yard to board the backseat of a helicopter.
This was one of the properties he owned outside the country.
The helicopter ascended into the azure sky and left the bustling city. It headed beyond the horizon across the ocean.
The helicopter's trajectory was clearly displayed on the screen from the pilot's seat.
Lisa moved an eye at the bodyguard in the co-pilot seat and sensed something to be amiss. He suddenly brought his gun out and pressed it against the back of the person's head.
"Don't fire! It's me!" Jennie was dressed in a man's suit and a baseball cap. She hurriedly raised both her hands.
