Chapter 123: The Mission
Will Sr. was a little surprised that Caroline was so honest. “I thought that someone like you wouldn’t be short of money.” After all, with her superb hacking skills, it would be too easy for her to make money.
“I need a faster way to make money.” There were only a few ways for hackers to earn money. They could either participate in some competitions or take on some missions to earn some commission, but the amount wasn’t very high. If it was just for daily expenses, it wouldn’t be a problem.
If she wanted to accumulate a large amount of wealth in a short time, she had to take risks.
Although hackers were mysterious and powerful, and could come and go freely on the internet, there was no invincible person in the world. Even as a hacker, if she seriously touched or threatened the interests of some people, then as ‘L,’ she would inevitably be besieged and intercepted on a large scale.
Caroline still had too many things that she needed to use this identity to complete. Hence, she did not want to take the risk. After thinking about it, the only way for her to earn money quickly and complete the task on her own was to become a bounty hunter.
The reason why she had asked Will Sr. for help was because she had investigated Will Sr. in advance to ensure her safety when she had purchased the gun the last time. She knew that he had made use of the convenience of selling guns to accumulate a group of connections. He had also secretly acted as a middleman to help introduce some commission-based businesses.
Seeing that Will Sr. was still frowning and on guard, Caroline had no choice but to reveal her bottom line. “I believe you know about my abilities. As for missions, I won’t accept them just like that.”
After all, she had received a formal military education. Caroline had a strong sense of moral honor. Therefore, even if she was in a hurry and was in dire need of money, she would not kill the innocent.
“You have to know that high rewards mean high risks. No matter what kind of danger happens during the mission, even if you lose your life, it’s very common. ”
Since Caroline was able to find his house, it showed her determination. Although he could tell from the two encounters that this woman was undoubtedly capable, as this was his first time working with her, Will Sr. decided to put the ugly words out in the open. He didn’t want to be blamed if something went wrong.
“Don’t worry, I know the rules.” Caroline herself grew up in a sea of fire and knives, so she would not be so naive to think that money was so easy to earn.
Will Sr. nodded noncommittally at Caroline’s words. Many newcomers who entered this industry were full of confidence at the beginning, but only god knew what the truth was.
He quickly filtered through the recent bounty missions in his mind. “There’s a mission here that suits your requirements. A client has issued a mission to find a lost gem.”
Caroline raised her eyebrows. “Search?”
Will Sr. corrected his statement, “That’s what we say.”
His left hand made a fishing motion.
Caroline understood immediately. It meant that the client already knew the whereabouts of the gemstone, but they couldn’t get it through official channels. So, they could only try to get it from the bounty hunters to see if they could steal it through illegal channels.
Caroline only cared about one thing. “How much is the commission?” Will Sr. gestured a number with his hand. Caroline was shocked. “That high?”
Will Sr. explained, “First of all, that thing is very valuable to begin with. Second, the security of the place where it is now is very tight. It’s difficult to even come into contact with it, let alone bring it out.”
It was also because of this that the client would raise the commission again and again. Many bounty hunters were envious of the commission, but when they saw the difficulty of the mission, they retreated.
Caroline thought for a moment. This mission was worth a try. “Send me the relevant information. I’ll let you know if I have any news.”
“Other than that, do you have any stock on hand now?”
Will Sr. was a little surprised. “The goods from last time were cleared so quickly?”
What exactly did this woman do? There were so many guns and a big bag of ammunition, and they were cleared so quickly? Could it be that there’s a team behind her?
But in their line of work, the taboo was curiosity, so even if Will Sr. was very curious, he could only restrain himself and ask this question.
In reality, she didn’t even use a single bullet. However, for someone like Caroline who was used to dealing with weapons since young, she always felt very insecure without a weapon on her. Therefore, it was always a good thing to have more weapons when she had the chance..
