Chapter 69: The Clip-On Earrings

After a few minutes of contemplation, Eleanor finalized the outline of her next move. However, a pressing concern continued to linger in the back of her mind... the assassin team. There was a possibility that they might come for her today.

After thinking it through once more, she raised her voice slightly, "I need Sebastian here."

She didn’t need to yell. She knew at least one member of her Shadow Guard was always stationed nearby, watching her silently from the shadows.

Sure enough, only a few seconds passed before Sebastian materialized in front of her like a ghost stepping through reality.

"Ma’am," he said, bowing his head respectfully.

"Another group of assassins has taken the job the previous party failed to complete," Eleanor said. "I suspect they might strike tonight. I want everyone around me monitored... closely."

Sebastian nodded but remained silent as she continued.

"There’s a complication," she added, rising from her chair and walking to the window. "Tonight is the annual dinner of GMITCC. Many people from the business community will be present. While they themselves won’t pose any threat, the location is a concern. The venue is Manchester Central Convention Complex, and it will be closed to the public today."

Turning back to face him, she continued, "If the assassins choose to attack me there, the easiest way would be by disguising themselves as hotel staff. That part worries me. I don’t want to show my abilities to the general public. But it’s also our opportunity. The staff won’t be carrying weapons, and that makes it easier for us to detect threats. With your abilities, you should be able to identify impostors and take them down before they make a move."

She moved to her desk and pulled open the bottom drawer. From it, she took out a small black case and placed it carefully on the tabletop. With a soft click, she unlocked it and opened the lid, revealing several glimmering accessories inside.

"I’ve prepared these for your team," she said. "You have four men and two women under your command, correct?"

Sebastian nodded.
