S31 59. The Targets

“C-counterattack?” The informant stammered.

After straightening his back, Victor shifted Ava’s picture towards him. “There’s no point in attacking someone who is on the verge of death. So, no need to mince words on this one. Get rid of her. Don’t worry about her dying mother.”

The informant was shaking slightly. “O-okay, Sir.”

While putting on a stiff smile, Victor muttered, “Just let them have fun and think that the situation is safe. The tighter the bond between them, the more exciting it will be to separate them.”

The informant blinked. “So, when should I begin, Sir?”

“Wait a few days. After that, start by taking care of this and this.”
