Chapter 460

Benjamin was stunned. He did not expect that Lucille would reject the offer without hesitation. He smiled and tried to persuade her. "Think about it, Lucille. I think this is a good opportunity, actually." "Not to mention, the Melling family has already said that all the conditions are up to you. I think they really want to recruit you." "Think about it. Above the supervisor, there's the ombudsman and the inspector general ... As long as you agree to their offer, you'll definitely be able to climb up the ladder considering your skills. Isn't that better than being a mercenary taking on tasks and putting yourself in danger all the time?" Lucille's eyes grew colder and colder as she listened to Benjamin's long-winded explanation. "I already said I'm not doing it. Tell them to get lost." Benjamin tried to protest, "Lucille..." "Enough!" Lucille interrupted Benjamin and muttered, "Fox, we've known each other for so many years. Don't you know what kind of person I am? I don't care about some bullsh*t supervisor or recruitment. No one can force me to do anything I don't want to do, not even you!" "I'm not forcing you, Lucille. I just think that the opportunity is good. With an official position, you'll have a better future..." Benjamin rubbed his eyebrows and sighed. He thought it was very simple. After all, being a supervisor meant you had a background with a formal title and an official position. With her ability, Lucille did not have to worry about having a bright future. If she was a mercenary, though, it didn't matter if she was highly regarded. In the end, her life would still be pitiful. She wouldn't have anything but money. The difference between those two identities was like a mountain, and there was an insurmountable gap between them. Since he wanted her to have a better future and a wider road, he came up with all kinds of suggestions to persuade Lucille to accept the recruitment offer. That way, nobody in the underground world would dare to touch her. Lucille, on the other hand, chuckled. "Fox, I thought we'd developed some sort of tacit understanding over the years. But now, it seems like you still don't know me at all." She had once stood at the top of the world and overlooked mountains and rivers. She once led thousands of troops to fight on the battlefield. She had once used her body as a wall to block tens of thousands of people. Even if the former God of War was dead, even if she couldn't wash away the blood on her hands, even if she had to climb her way back to Dilsburg... She would never bow her head to anyone. Recruit her? Did the Melling family think they were worth it? Lucille hung up the phone expressionlessly. ...... "What? She refused?" When Fiona received the news, her pupils dilated. "I've already offered her those conditions in my father's name, but she is still indifferent?" The subordinate hesitated and added, "Not only did she refuse, but apparently, Lone Shadow also gave a two-word reply." "What is it?" Fiona asked. "Get lost." Fiona was speechless. She was so furious that she kicked her subordinate. "What did you say? How dare you ask me to get lost?" The subordinate felt wronged and explained with a sad face, "I didn't say that, Miss Melling. It was Lone Shadow who responded with that. I would never dare to tell you to get lost..." "What a bunch of trash!" Fiona was exasperated. She was now basically certain that Lucille was the legendary mercenary, Lone Shadow. In Shein City, she couldn't kill Lucille because she was afraid of Joseph. Last time, she finally led Lucille to a trap and assassination plot Fiona had set up in the suburbs. Nobody would have expected Samuel to become the victim instead. Not only was Lucille perfectly fine, but Fiona had also lost her manpower and equipment. She was frustrated over her continuous failures. It was so embarrassing for the Melling family.
