"I just arrived half an hour ago. Now that I have returned to the villa, I can report this mission to you in the afternoon... By the way, Scotland has an eye injury, so this report will be omitted."
"You will be injured in this kind of mission? Angostela, are you too lenient with your men?"
"This time it was an accident and my negligence."
Hearing Angstra's support, Gin was not surprised, only had a feeling of "it will happen as expected".
He sneered, and not far away from him, the boss who was reviewing the documents heard the sound and looked up at him.
This glance made Gin, who was sitting on the sofa, subconsciously put down his legs and sit up straight - even though he knew the boss didn't care about this little thing, he still wanted to face the boss in a more elegant manner.
"Meow~"
A cat meowed from behind him, and Gin felt something stepped on his hair that was hanging down on the sofa. He turned his head and looked there, and saw the boss' pet Moni lying on his hair, pulling at it with his paws.
, lowered his head to bite him again, completely treating his hair as a toy...
"…………"
If anyone else had done this, Gin would have been hit long ago, but this is a pet that the boss loves very much.
Moni seemed to feel that someone was looking at him. He raised his head and looked at Gin for a long time with his beautiful blue cat eyes. Seeing that the two-legged beast did not resist, he lowered his head and continued to play with his hair.
The life of the boss's cat is more valuable than most people's.
Except for the boss, no one is qualified to deal with this bold pet - no matter what the reason is, doing so is an overstep.
Knowing this, Gin turned his head, raised his hand and pressed the hat to prevent it from being pulled off when his hair was pulled, and then continued to talk to Angstra.
He didn't mention Scotch again, but mentioned the other two.
"You have to go to the United States at the beginning of next month... I'm afraid the invitation letter from the American IT giant Sindora will be sent to you in the next few days."
"I heard the boss talk about it during the concert." Angstra said, "What is the mission content?"
"You'll know then."
"How many people are needed?"
"Bring the bourbon and rye."
"...Is this mission very troublesome?"
"No, the only person traveling with you in the United States is Bourbon...You alone are enough for the mission, but you need a considerate nanny to take care of you...Rye will change planes after arriving in the United States and head to Toronto, Canada."
Gin looked at several photos on the coffee table in front of him. The top one showed a man with short brown hair and a beard, with a big red cross drawn on his face.
"There's a Canadian Security Intelligence Service rat that he needs to deal with."

In the study room on the second floor of the villa, Jing Baiye opened the skill panel again after ending the call and was in a daze at the introduction of [Devil Contract].
The system was quiet and did not bother him.
The last time the host ignored it for such a long time was in April last year.
If others talk to him, he can communicate normally, but if no one cares about him, he will remain silent.
That time lasted for more than ten days, and it watched helplessly as the host's blackening value soared to 80, getting closer and closer to that person... Fortunately, after venting, it fell back to its original value.
The host's current blackening value is 60, which is not as serious as that time, but his attitude makes the system feel uneasy.
It cannot understand the inner thoughts of its host, just like the host cannot know what it is thinking, but it can see the host's expression, his eyes and every microexpression.
Jing Baiye was sitting on a chair. He said he wanted to write a mission report and didn't even turn on his computer.
He stared at the skill introduction on the system panel with a thoughtful expression - he was incredibly calm, as if Gin had just asked Rai to clean up an undercover mission, and it had not touched him at all.
[It can transfer the scars, diseases... and even aging of the contractor.] Jing Baiye poked the system gently as usual, [Can this keep people young and immortal forever? 】
The system was temporarily relieved when its host finally spoke to it.
【It’s not that easy, it requires paying a greater price.】
And this skill can not only transfer those negative states, but its real horror is that it can turn others into your own slaves - never able to resist, never betray.
No matter how tortured the contractor and his blood relatives are, the mark on their souls will firmly bind them.
[Host, actually you can...]
Before the system finished speaking, he was interrupted by Jing Baiye who had read the more detailed introduction:
[This skill is more terrifying than I originally thought.]
The system is silent for a moment.
This is for sure, because unlike those random skills in the past, this is an exclusive skill.
The high-latitude system headquarters allows them to go to different spaces to bind various souls, and then assists these hosts and trains them to reach the top of the world.
After being bound for a period of time and the two parties have established a certain trust relationship, the headquarters will provide the host with an [exclusive skill], which allows them to absorb more energy from the world.
Devil's Contract, this is Jing Baiye's exclusive skill.
The name of this skill is really apt, it does come from the power of the devil.
The more you ask for, the greater the cost.
If injuries and illnesses that are not life-threatening are transferred, only [parents], [children] and [siblings] will be affected;
If life-threatening injuries or illnesses are transferred, then [grandparents] [grandparents] [grandchildren] [grandchildren] [uncles] [cousins] are affected;
But if it is to transfer a person's aging and make him defy the laws of nature and regain his youth...
Then the devil's power will be traced back to his ancestors five hundred years ago, and all people with the same ancestor as the contractor will become slaves of the devil.
No matter which world or dynasty you are in, there are many people who try to extend their lifespan indefinitely.
Especially the powerful, they are more reluctant to part with the wealth and glory in their hands than the poor or ordinary people, just like the first two generations of leaders of the host organization.
This kind of price that makes an inanimate system feel terrified is nothing to this kind of people - they may be willing to sacrifice more people's lives and futures in exchange for living longer.
[This skill may be more powerful in Japan...] Jing Baiye murmured.
Japan in modern society still has a hereditary system.
The son of a congressman is still a congressman, and the son of a banker is still a banker. Classes are solidified, and families are intermarried with each other. If you follow the family tree, you can find that many prime ministers, politicians, and plutocrats have been intermarried with each other for several generations.
As long as one of them cannot resist the temptation and makes a contract, a large number of other upper-class families can be implicated - and he may be able to control the country with this.
This sentence was just a soliloquy of Jing Baiye. He looked at the time displayed on the clock, closed the system panel, turned on the computer, and began to prepare this mission report.
Because Scotland cannot write, his report will be longer.
【...Host, do you want to use this skill?】
[No, I am not a careerist, nor am I interested in enslaving others.]
[...What about Scotland? As long as he uses this skill, his eyes and ears can be restored immediately. It is good for him and good for you. 】
The white night is silent.
After a long time, he spoke softly.
【...I wouldn't do that to him.】
This skill is not a cure, it just randomly transfers the damage you receive to others, causing disaster to innocent passers-by.
Scotland, and perhaps Bourbon... I'm afraid they won't be willing to see this scene.
The system stopped talking, Jing Baiye lowered his head and began to write a report quietly.
