Chapter 301

Colton was one of the top enforcers in the agency, practically unbeatable. Hank knew better than to challenge him; he wouldn’t last more than a few moves against Colton’s skill.

“I’m talking about Lance!” Hank sneered, trying to mask his fear of Colton. “He’s too weak to be here. If he’d told me how weak he was sooner, I could’ve gone easy on him.”

Everyone at the agency clenched their fists in anger at Hank’s bragging.

Oh, Hank, they noted. They’d make sure to avenge Lance.

Flora stood up slowly, her gaze calm as it landed on Hank. “You keep calling others weak. Do you think you’re strong?”

Hank, who hadn’t been on the last mission and was clueless about Flora’s abilities, dismissed her as just a pretty face who’d won Connor’s favor. “Compared to him, I’m definitely stronger,” he retorted with disdain.

“Isn’t the agency’s assessment tournament in half a month?” Flora asked Colton quietly.

Though confused by her question, Colton nodded.

“In half a month, if Lance passes the assessment, you’ll leave the agency. Do you dare to bet?” Flora challenged.

Hank’s arrogance didn’t belong in the agency.
