Chapter 480

Hadley removed a human skin mask from her pocket and put on the disguise.

The mask was similar to the aged shopkeeper’s face.

She made a thorough investigation in advance and custom-made the aged shopkeeper’s mask.

Then Hadley imitated the aged man’s gait and descended into the underground casino.

Zeke, Lone Wolf and Sole Wolf knew Hadley had arrived at the casino when they heard the noises.

Sole Wolf suddenly said in a mysterious manner, “Bro, let’s compete.”

“How do you want to compete?” Zeke asked.

“We’ll see which one of us is discovered last by Hadley. The winner will be certified as the person with the best hiding skills.”

Sole Wolf’s suggestion piqued Zeke’s interest. He nodded at once in agreement. “No problem.”

The three of them split off and went to look for a hiding spot.

Before long, the heavy metal gate was pushed open as the aged shopkeeper entered the casino.

But that was an imposter. Hadley was pretending to be the aged shopkeeper.

She scanned the surroundings impatiently after she stepped through the door.

Unexpectedly, Hadley did not notice anyone in sight.

That acknowledgment unsettled her. There’s no way this place will be left unguarded. But I could not sense anyone in this room. There could only be one possibility in this case. My opponent is adept at hiding his presence. His hiding skills may even be better than mine.

Hadley closed her eyes immediately to concentrate on her senses.

But she failed to sense any presence as before.

Hadley frowned. She felt insecure and vulnerable.

Suddenly, she was reminded of something. Hadley began to sniff around.

A pungent tobacco smell lingered in the air.

She fixated her piercing gaze on the southwest corner for a long while.

Sole Wolf, who was hiding in the dark corner, sighed in disappointment. Ah, I can’t believe I’m the first person to be discovered.

He walked out from his hiding spot and glared at Hadley. “Damn it! You are indeed an S-ranked assassin from Necro. Your detecting skill is superb. Tell me. How did you find out where I was hiding?”

Hadley knitted her brows. This person identifies me as an assassin right away. How did I expose myself? I am very confident in my current disguise. The only thing that I cannot imitate is the shopkeeper’s voice. But I did not speak. He’s most likely tricking me.

She feigned ignorance and shook her head at Sole Wolf.

Sole Wolf knew what Hadley was thinking. He said coldly, “That’s enough. You can stop pretending now. I know you are an assassin from Necro, and you’re here to rescue your friend. We’ve installed multiple pinhole cameras upstairs. You’ve exposed yourself the moment you entered the shop.”

Hadley was disappointed. Damn it. These people are despicable. I never expected them to have installed pinhole cameras upstairs. No wonder he is able to identify me so quickly.

Hadley decided to stop with her acting. So she took off her mask.

Sole Wolf complimented her, “Wow. You’re quite pretty. It’s such a waste for you to be an assassin.”

Hadley jeered at him, “Shut up. Are you the only person here? Then let me inform you now. You’ll die here today.”

Sole Wolf chortled. “The only person here? No, no, no. There are others in here, but you failed to detect them. Perhaps you need to polish your skills further.”

“Other people?” Hadley tensed up again. She closed her eyes to focus on her other senses.

I can’t sense any other presence in this room. Wait... there’s a faint alcohol scent.

“Wind Blast Rum. A type of famous liquor in the Northwest Region with 56% alcohol...”

She gazed at the southeast corner inside the casino. “Come on out.”
