Chapter 176

Vivian Laurent arched an eyebrow at Finn Deross.

She had indeed used the best medicine, but her motives weren't pure.

"Do you think I'm trying to harm you?" Her tone was light.

Finn immediately waved his hands. "No, no!"

He finally understood—this woman was not to be trifled with.

"What about taking on missions?"

"No problem!" Finn nodded eagerly.

"And the commission split?"

"Keep it all!" He shook his head like a rattle drum.

Vivian patted his head approvingly. "Good boy."

She added, "Only accept contracts worth over a hundred million. I'll review them first."

"Got it!" Finn's eyes lit up. "Um...can I tag along? I want to learn from you. You're amazing!"

He rubbed his hands excitedly. "You remind me of my idol!"

"Who?"

"Shadow!"

Vivian froze.

She hadn't expected to hear her own codename here.

Seeing her lack of reaction, Finn grew anxious. "The legendary Shadow, ranked second on the Agent Leaderboard! If she hadn't disappeared, Zero would never have taken the top spot!"

His face twisted with anguish. "No one on the Dark Web has been able to surpass her records."

Vivian stayed silent.

She suddenly felt like laughing.

"Maybe I'm better than your idol," Vivian teased.

"Impossible!" Finn jumped to his feet. "Shadow is the strongest!"

Vivian didn't bother arguing. After all, they were the same person.

"Fine, your idol is the best," she waved dismissively. "Focus on securing missions. The sooner, the better."

"Leave it to me!" Finn thumped his chest. "But you have to promise to teach me!"

"Deal."

As Vivian turned to leave, she glanced back. "Keep this between us."

"Understood!"

In the operating room, Vivian was sterilizing her hands.

Today's cardiac surgery had drawn the attention of the entire hospital. The dean stood in the observation area with a group of specialists.

"Dr. Luna, feeling the pressure?" the dean asked quietly.

Vivian didn't look up. "The patient comes first."

She focused on reviewing the medical reports, unaware of the icy gaze fixed on her from the crowd.

Those eyes burned with disdain and hatred.
