Messing With Her? Are You Crazy! novel Chapter 1480

[Mission Requirements: Only S-Class or higher hunters may accept. The target must die on the ship. Failure to assassinate the target will be deemed mission failure. Those who fail shall not leave the ship.]

Snap.

The potato chip in Jasper's hand was instantly crushed to dust.

One look at this bounty, and it was obviously the work of The Raven.

This psychotic, theatrical style of forcing people onto a ship was identical to that damn Raven's usual playbook.

He laughed out loud. "A hundred trillion?"

Last time in Severia, they had put a thirty-billion-dollar bounty on his sister.

Now, her life had skyrocketed to a hundred trillion dollars.

The Obsidian Sun was certainly willing to bleed for this.

Even if they dug up their ancestors' graves and pawned off the tombstones, they probably couldn't scrape together a price that absurd.

Mission failure meant never leaving the ship?

Not leaving the ship basically meant death.

No wonder practically no one dared to take the job despite the astronomical payout.

He licked the corner of his lips, his smirk growing even more wicked. "Alright then. You want to play a hunting game?"

"I'll play with you."

He didn't use his primary 'C' hunter alias.

The family knew about that identity.

It was far too conspicuous.

This time, he needed a more fitting shell to board the ship.

With a tap of his fingers, Jasper logged into another account.

He clicked to accept the bounty.

Almost immediately, an encrypted message arrived.

[Unknown 1668: The Grinning Wraith? Are you sure you want to take this contract?]

Jasper typed lazily. [A hundred trillion dollars. For a payout this massive, I obviously have to handle it personally.]

The Grinning Wraith was his alternative persona on the Dark Web.

A bounty hunter broker. A dark web assassination fixer.

He, the undisputed number-one bounty hunter 'C' with a flawless track record, had failed a mission for the very first time.

Of course, he was more than happy to lose to her.

But right now, the entire Dark Web was gossiping non-stop about his first-ever historical failure.

To maintain the ruthless reputation of Hunter 'C', it made perfect sense that he wouldn't be able to swallow that insult.

The person on the other end clearly remembered the Severia incident and assumed the Dark Web simply wanted to reclaim its lost pride.

[Unknown 1668: In that case, we eagerly await The Grinning Wraith's arrival on board.]

[Unknown 1668: We hope the Dark Web does not disappoint us a second time.]

A black raven-feather pass was sent over.

Jasper stared at the pass on the screen, his smirk widening.

It was a sinister, highly obnoxious smile.

"Disappoint?" He leaned back, lazily kicking the desk leg. "Don't worry, I'll make sure this is an experience you'll remember for the rest of your miserable lives."

He clicked on the pass.

[The Grinning Wraith, boarding clearance confirmed.]
