Chapter 187
Daisy tried to press further, but the man in the white coat clearly had no intention of lingering. Without another word, he hurried off.The woman in red beamed as if she had just won the lottery. She shook the stack of reports in her hand and thrust them toward the cameras.“Come and see for yourselves! The hospital confirmed it—it’s their product! Can something like this be used on a face?”The other woman crowded in beside her, the large gold hoops in her ears swinging wildly.“Film it! Make sure you get it all! Their product is defective—a heartless company selling harmful goods and refusing responsibility!”“We have the lab reports right here!”Cameras flashed in rapid succession. Some reporters had already begun live streaming, zooming in on the documents in the woman’s hand.“When you air this, remember to blur our faces. We’re only doing this to protect consumer rights—we can’t let more people be deceived!”“That’s right! Blur us out!”The reporters, however, were far too focu

“You’ve gathered a mob to cause trouble without a shred of evidence—and you were the first to lay hands on my staff.”Daisy cast a glance at Jasmine. The security guards appeared largely unharmed, but Jasmine’s clothes were torn, her makeup smeared, her hair in disarray—a pitiful sight.“You’re not injured, are you?”Jasmine hurriedly shook her head, looking at Daisy with gratitude.“No.”She hadn’t expected Daisy to protect her employees so firmly. In situations like this, most companies would swallow their pride and smooth things over.But Daisy showed no intention of backing down. She looked ready to confront them head-on.The woman in red let out another dramatic wail.“Hill Group bullies people! Not a single decent soul among you! If I don’t pursue this today, how many more will fall victim to your scam?”Unruffled, Daisy regarded her coolly and spoke with steady composure.“I am fully responsible for the Snow Beauty Secret line. I guarantee our products do not cause side effects
Chapter 185
When Daisy was specifically named, Adrian cast her a glance. He was almost certain this was a deliberate provocation.Without evidence, however, they could not act rashly. The priority was to go there in person and resolve the situation.The reputation of Hill Group could not be allowed to suffer needless damage.Skyline City’s People’s Square—the most bustling district in the city.The Snow Beauty Secret flagship showroom under Hill Group had been completely surrounded by onlookers and reporters, packed so tightly that not even a drop of water could slip through.Two middle-aged women occupied the entrance—one sitting squarely on the ground, the other standing with her hands planted on her hips, both brimming with brazen hostility.“Your products have such severe side effects! This must be settled today! What are you going to do about it?”The store manager, Jasmine, was so anxious she could barely form words. Young and thin-skinned, she was no match for their relentless harassment.
Chapter 184
Octavia was not comforted in the slightest—if anything, she looked on the verge of tears.“You don’t understand. Snow Wolf’s legend includes slipping past over a hundred bodyguards to take a man’s head without a sound. He once faced down an entire army alone—and almost no one survived.”“Is he truly that formidable?”Octavia nodded bleakly, as though all hope had drained from her.“In The Dark Underworld, Snow Wolf may not be the absolute best, but he’s unquestionably among the elite. He hasn’t accepted a contract in a long time.”She could only pray that he would ignore this one as well.Adrian pointed at the wolf avatar on the screen. “The Snow Wolf you’re talking about… is that him?”One glance was enough to drain the color from Octavia’s face.Not only had Snow Wolf viewed the post—he had replied.“Adrian, I am Snow Wolf. The day we meet will be your last.”After leaving that chilling message, Snow Wolf disappeared. But his response sent the entire thread into a frenzy.“Look! S

“No!”Octavia blurted it out so urgently that she choked on her own breath, clutching her chest as she coughed, her face flushed with discomfort as she looked at Adrian.“That’s far too… cough… dangerous. You can’t just… cough…”Adrian sighed and, somewhat helplessly, patted her gently on the back to steady her breathing.At last, her complexion eased. She rubbed at her tear-bright eyes and looked at him earnestly.“Brother Adrian, do you have any idea how many true masters there are on the dark web? Even the ones who remain hidden, who rarely ever show themselves—no one dares ignore their existence.”“If you really do this, I’m afraid you won’t last more than a few days.”He understood she was worried about him. But that did nothing to dissuade him.“You don’t need to concern yourself with that. Just do as I say.”Octavia pursed her lips, but she stopped protesting.Swiftly, she produced an external drive and connected it to her computer.Her slender fingers flew across the keyboard.

Adrian nodded slowly. It seemed the dark web guarded the identities of its clients with exceptional rigor.A trace of apology crossed Octavia’s face. She felt she hadn’t been of much help.“I’m sorry, Brother Adrian. For assassins like us, once the mission is complete and the payment is made, we rarely concern ourselves with anything else…”He did not blame her. This outcome had been well within his expectations.If the dark web failed to guarantee absolute confidentiality, it would never have attracted so many powerful figures to post bounties there in the first place.“Then do you know how a bounty can be revoked?” Adrian asked. “Or perhaps I could place a counter-bounty on the one who targeted me. If he dies, the bounty on me would naturally disappear.”To his surprise, Octavia shook her head, troubled.“Brother Adrian, although it’s not explicitly stated, the dark web doesn’t permit bounties to be placed on its own clients. Of course, if no one knows, you could upload the informat
