Saving Mr. Billionaire

“What the hell are you doing here?” Mr. Cesium, the head of our organization asked me as I entered his office. “I told you to go on a vacation, right? Why did you go back here?” I lazily sat on the couch and looked at him. “I am not in a mood to have a vacation. Besides, I heard the news from Li San that you have a confidential mission with nice pay.” He raised his eyebrows at me while staring straight at me. Then, he sighed. “It was not confidential anymore since Li San already told you about it,” he said. “But what you said is right. The client is ready to pay a higher price for this mission.” He smirked and shook his head. “You are really quick when it comes to money.” I shrugged my shoulder. “I can’t help it. Money is all I want that's why I am here.” I held out my hand in front of him. “So, give me all the information about it. I am the one who is going to do it.” “Hmm.” He stared at me again. “Are you sure that you can do this job?” I raised my eyebrows on him. “Are you underestimating my ability?” Did he already forget that I am one of the best agents that this organization has? So underestimating me is really a bit offending on my part, huh? He laughed and shook his head before handing me the folder. “All the information you need is already inside that folder. And your mission is to kill someone named Lancelot Neon. His life is worth five hundred euros. But like the other regulations of the organization, it will get deducted if you damage some properties that get involved in your mission.” I nodded and started reading the files in the folder. I am Adze Nickel. 25 years old, a man who grew up in an orphanage, and like what I said, I am one of the best agents that this organization has. The Seventh Sector. The Seventh Sector is a non-government organization with the main purpose of serving different personalities who can hire us to be a bodyguard or assassinate someone. We didn’t choose our clients and our service is open to everyone. Mafias, drug lords, syndicates, corrupt politicians, or even the good ones who don't have any choice but to do bad things just to ensure their safety. We also have clients like businessmen and famous personalities in the entertainment industry. King, queen, prince, or princess of a monarch country. We don’t care about our client’s position because only one thing is important to us. Money. If our client can pay us enough money to do a job, we will not ask any questions and just accept it. Nothing more, nothing less. And every mission we got was always successful that’s why we have more clients that keep reaching out to us with a high price. Well, that is what most people need just to survive in this cruel world. I was only in this line of work for nine years. And taking high-paying missions is what I always asked for Mr. Cesium because money is what I really want in my life. I don’t care about anything else and that made me good at my jobs. Because having a lot of money, you can assure yourself that you can get anything you want. Anything. “Have you already reviewed his profile?” Sir Cesium asked when I put the folder on the table. I nodded. “And for some reason, there is something that made me curious about this guy.” He frowned. “What do you mean?” “Why do they need to assassinate a CEO of Anox who is known for being nice and kind to everyone around him?” I said. “Even his business competitors can’t say anything about him because he always plays fair in his business. So, I don’t understand. Why does someone want this guy dead?” Lancelot Neon is a 28-year-old CEO of a multi-billionaire luxury company, the Anox that sells luxury cars around the world. He is nice and kind to everyone around him. And according to the latest interview with him at the famous men's magazine, he never gets mad and that's why everyone likes him, well, aside from his looks since he is really a handsome man. “I don’t see any reason for someone to hurt this man,” I added. “To be honest, I also think that way when I read that profile,” he said. “But he is not an ordinary man.” I frowned. “And what do you even mean about that?” “What I was about to tell you is what makes this mission confidential and I want you to keep everything to yourself and don’t tell anyone about it even to Lancelot, okay?” I nodded. “You know me.” I turned to the big screen that this office has when it was turned on and started flashing additional information about Lancelot Neon. And it is too many that my eyes hurt to read everything. “Lancelot Neon is a genius who managed to create something that has the capability to override and control other technology and electronic devices around the world,” he said. “And what he has with him is a threat to everyone that made him really dangerous not only to the people but also to every country in the whole world. Especially now that he is the only one who can access that.” “And our client is scared that he might use it against the world if he decided to.” He nodded. “And if he is dead, no one can use that,” I said. “But didn’t they think that it could give them more benefits if they let him live and just do something so he will cooperate with them?” “Well, they already did that but Neon didn’t want to use it and refused to cooperate with our client.” “Oh.” I nodded. “That’s why they wanted him dead so no one will be able to gain benefit from it. If Neon was gone, it is also the same with that thing.” Killing him is the only way to prevent anything that may destroy what they currently have. Oh well, that was out of our work and I don’t really care. I was just curious about the reason because I always see that man in the magazine that Li San, my girl best friend has. I stood up and stretched some bones in my body. I think this job will be too easy for me to handle. “I will do it this evening,” I said. “Please inform Li San to prepare everything I need.” Well, he might be a billionaire that everyone admires but what he is and what he has cannot save his worthless life from me. Because I am definitely going to take that from him. And I am going to take the money in exchange for that.
