Double Agent: Stuck Between the Villain and Protagonist Camp

The Emergency Task

"You'll see a big gate on your left. It's the entrance to the community, and the security team should already have your car on their list," Lin Xilan instructed Axl, as they approached her villa. As they reached the gate, Axl slowed down and drove in without any problems.

As they arrived at Lin Xilan's house, Axl parked the car, and Lin Xilan stepped out, stretching her toned body. Axl couldn't help but stare at her in awe at her proud figures.

Lin Xilan quickly noticed his reaction and put down her arms, turning cold again. "If you're going to protect me, you'll have to live here from now on. Is that clear?" she asked him.

"Yes, boss," Axl nodded.

"Woof-woof!" Not long after, the sound of a dog barking was heard, and Axl turned around. "Oh, there are dogs here," he said, seeing a Siberian husky and a golden retriever. Axl crouched down and petted them both, making them wag their tails in delight.

Lin Xilan looked at this and nodded in satisfaction. Looking at Axl and her husky, their appearance and aura temperament were the same. She then entered the house directly, followed by Axl with two tails wagging behind him.

"Oh, by the way, the husky's name is Dollar, and the golden retriever's name is Goldy. You'll need to take good care of them while you're living here," Lin Xilan reminded him as they walked.

Axl nodded and asked, "Do you live here alone?"

"Of course not. There are helpers and a gardener here. Don't you dare have any thoughts," Lin Xilan warned him with vigilance.

Axl nodded seriously, but inside he looked at this woman weirdly. Remembering what he had seen in her office, he wondered if she was the one with dirty thoughts.

As they stepped inside the house, Lin Xilan walked ahead of Axl and gestured towards a door on the ground floor. "This is going to be your room for the duration of your stay. It's near the stairs, so you can keep an eye on who goes up and down. Just make sure no one goes up without my permission," she said, pointing to the door.

Axl nodded and took a closer look at the room. It was cozy and well-furnished, with a comfortable-looking bed and a small study desk by the window

"Okay, auntie" Axl nodded

Hearing him call her 'auntie', she frowned, but remembering that he was her son's junior brother who had lived together with him for almost 7 years and also that it was her to ask him to call the boss when they were in the company, she remained silent.

"My room is upstairs, so unless it's absolutely necessary, I'd prefer if you didn't go up there. Alright, then you can look at your room. I also want to take a rest." She simply nodded and walked up the stairs.

As night fell, Axl was scrolling through his phone when he heard a notification tone.

*DING

(Private): Meet me at the Dragon Casino at 8 PM.

Axl's heart sank as he read the message. He knew he had to go. After all, with his power now, there was no way to fight them. They could make him disappear at any moment. Unlike the protagonist who was protected, he was a sidekick and very vulnerable. Putting down his phone, he went outside and found his boss, Lin Xilan, in the dining room having dinner. Looking at her, he asked for her permission first.

"Boss, can I go out for a while?" Axl asked.

"Where do you want to go?" Lin Xilan asked, frowning.

"This is my first time in the city, and I want to take a look around," Axl said.

"Hmm..." thinking that she would be at home and not going anywhere today, Lin Xilan nodded and waved her hand, indicating he could do whatever he wanted.

Axl nodded, and after getting permission, he went out.

After walking for a while, Axl slapped his forehead in frustration. He realized that the elite community he was in was quite far from the residential area, and it would take a long time to reach the Dragon Casino on foot.

"Phew..." He checked the shared location on his phone and hesitated. Maybe he could ask his boss for the car? But this was his first day at work. No, no... He was a little bit reluctant to leave a bad impression on his current boss. Other than his boss being gorgeous and beautiful, the salary was also high. Shaking his head, Axl continued walking, maybe he could find a taxi later.

Walking out from the gate, Axl walked probably a little bit far away from the community gate, and to his surprise, there was a black sedan on the side of the road.

'CR 7 LS' Seeing the license plate number, Axl already knew exactly whose car it was. But he pretended not to know since he had just come down from the mountain, it would be suspicious if he suddenly recognized the meaning behind that plate number.

"Mr. Axl, please get in the car," suddenly the car door opened, and someone shouted from inside. Sure enough, this car belonged to him. Axl pretended to be surprised and recovered before turning back and looking at the car suspiciously.

We were sent here by Big Boss Long Sha to pick up Mr. Axl," a man wearing a black suit said as he stepped out of the car and addressed Axl without introducing himself. Despite the lack of introduction, Axl knew exactly who he was. Axl nodded in acknowledgement before getting into the car and accompanying them.

Soon, the car traveled through the city before finally stopping in front of the hotel. Taken aback, Axl glanced at the man beside him as if asking for an explanation.

"Emergency task. I will not explain it to you. Here's the phone, and the boss will explain it to you directly," the man said, handing over a sleek smartphone to Axl.

This stunned Axl. 'Surely not butterly effect right?' he thought. This scene is basically not in the novel. Suppressing his restless heart, he picked up the phone.

"Hello?" Axl said tentatively.

The sound of his big boss's urgent tone made him feel even more anxious.

"Yes boss... Alright, I understand," After hanging up the phone, Axl turned to the man sitting next to him in the car.

"Alright, after you're done, you can directly go to the Dragon Casino to meet the boss. Ah, before this, we will wait for your good result," the man said, and Axl nodded before finally getting out of the car.

Looking at the hotel in front of him, Axl sighed. The one who talked on the phone before was his big boss, Long Sha.

The Long family was the one who sent him to the mountain. They were a heartless Triad family who sent him, a 14-year-old kid, to the mountain alone to train. Even though there were supervisors during his training, it still seemed heartless to abandon a 14-year-old kid to fend for himself alone in the mountains.

The Long family is a long-standing Triad family that wields power in the Capital city. It can be said that almost all underground forces and businesses in the Capital have been under the control of the Long family for a long time. However, ten years ago, when Long Sha took over as head of the Long family, he suddenly declared his retirement from all underground businesses and formally entered legitimate business.

Now, after ten years have passed, the Long family appears to be just an ordinary business family on the surface. But Axl knows that the Long family still firmly holds the underground forces in the capital. On the surface, the purpose of the retirement is because Long Sha wants to enter politics to increase his influence. This is what Axl knows about the Long family.

As explained before, according to the rules, when he comes down from the mountain, he will become a bodyguard responsible for protecting a member of the Long family. The person he will protect is right in front of him. His name is Long Tao, the son of Long Sha and the sole heir of the Long family. He is a moron, probably because he has always been spoiled since he was a kid, and as a result, his brain developed abnormally. He thinks that the world revolves around him.

Thinking that he needs to babysit a rich and spoiled brat, Axl knows the annoying burden he will soon face. Adjusting his suit, Axl then stepped into the hotel.
