Yvette raised an eyebrow at the eager Nelson. Without any expression, she said, "Let's go."

Lucas was puzzled by how obedient Yvette was, but with the urgency of the situation, he didn't have time to think it over.

Yvette stood up and casually placed the small silver gun on the table. The dark barrel coincidentally pointed straight at Nelson, causing him to freeze suddenly.

He awkwardly said, "Ms. Zeller, your little gun is quite exquisite

As soon as the words were spoken, everyone in the oflice turned their gaze to the gun on the table. Zoe was startled to see the small gun for the first time and wondered why it was in Yvette's office.

Lucas didn't find it odd. After all, Yvette had an Interpol background, so having a gun wasn't strange. It would actually be weird if she didn't have one. However, Nelson and Warron were completely unaware of this. There was a cool detachment in Yvette's eyes as she stood leisurely, smiling. For some reason, her smile gave Nelson and Warron an inexplicable sense of danger, tingling their skin.

Yvette casually said, "It is just a replica toy."

Nelson smiled awkwardly and said, "Ms. Zeller, your tastes are unique."

Although it is a toy, it is so real that it can easily pass for the real thing! Warron, standing by, felt a lot of his fear dissipate. He didn't expect the gun to be a toy. He thought 'Maybe Yvette is

a real one. and couldn't get interested in guns

'She must have spent a lot of money on this realistic toy. How childish!' He looked down on Yvette even more, wondering why she didn't get a real gun if she could afford one instead of pretending to have a fake one. A few people left the meeting room. Zoe, who was at the back, closed the door, and her eyes inadvertently fell on the small silver gun on the table. She thought, 'I don't think it is a toy; the gun looks exactly like a real one. A middle-aged man was standing on the Chambers Group's rooftop. He was plain-looking and unremarkable, wearing an ordinary suit and casually tossing a briefcase on the ground.

He was standing right at the edge of the rooftop. Just one more step, and he would fall dozens of meters to a deadly aftermath.
