Chapter 290: Secret Operations II

"Are you lot not going to introduce yourselves?" The mercenary’s voice boomed, slicing through the tension in the air and abruptly pulling Athena and Aiden out of their shocked silence.

They hadn’t been expecting Kovan, one of the notorious twin mercenaries known for their intimidating presence and ruthless methods.

What was he doing here? Athena wondered, even as she offered her trademark smile, a mix of confidence and charm, aimed at the bulky man before her.

Did he recognize her?

After all, she had been the one to take down his twin brother. It didn’t matter that she had worn a mask—these things had a way of getting around, especially in circles like theirs.

"We are here to see Cecil and Lincoln," She stated lightly, her hand extending for a handshake, hoping to disarm him with her friendliness.

But Kovan scrutinized her, his sharp eyes trailing from her head to her toes, dismissing her outstretched hand with an air of disdain.

"Have no idea what you’re talking about, woman. Are you sure you are in the right neighborhood?" He countered dismissively, shaking his head as if to clear away the absurdity of their presence.

Athena laughed, the sound light but edged with annoyance. "Of course! Just tell them that the A2 are here."

Kovan opened his mouth to deliver a snide response, but Aiden tsked, interrupting him to grab his attention.

"Just do what the woman tells you to do, son. You don’t want to see her angry. Neither do you want to keep your bosses’ friends outside."

Kovan’s frown deepened as he scrutinized the trio again, his gaze hesitating on Ewan, the billionaire businessman.

Of course, he recognized Athena—the doctor who had disrupted their business interests—and Aiden, her sidekick. However, he didn’t know they were linked to his bosses.
