Monkey, Panther, Rabbit, Panda, koala, and Squirrel.
No, these are not zoo animals. These are six beefy and sturdy well-built men.
Right now they were sitting around a table in a hotel room and playing poker happily.
And yes they have revolted multiple times to Luther to change this insane naming system.
For god's sake, cute animal names do not go along with scary mercenaries and assassins. What part of this did the bastard not understand?!
Luther opened the hotel room door and silently entered inside.
The rowdy boisterous crowd immediately noticed him and all greeted him cheerfully.
"Boss you want a hand? We just started?"
"I already packed your stuff, flight is at 6 in the evening."
"I checked. The money is already in her account."
His brothers chimed in with updates one after another.
They all couldn't wait to get out of this city and settle in a new hideout.
Since they were used to hiding out in mountains and in the middle of nowhere, living in a big city like this, in broad daylight, made them feel quite uncomfortable.
While others were concerned about other things, Monkey sneakily asked, "Ummm.. is cutie back at home? I might just take a walk to say goodbye. Ha Ha."
Monkey was Luther's sort of bodyguard. Not that he needed any. But even if you are a great god, sometimes it's best to have a backup.
Rabbit was the team strategy specialist and assigned missions to everybody.
Panther was the master assassin and took the SS rated difficulty jobs.
Panda and Kuala were both in charge of their safety and anonymity. They were expert computer scientists and handled money transfer and group funding.
And lastly, Squirrel was a trained general surgeon and was in charge of everyone's health and training regimen. He was also an interrogation specialist.
All seven of them including Luther were very close brothers and have gone through multiple thick and thin situations together.
Apart from these 6 guys, no one else in their whole organization has seen or even heard of Luther.
He preferred to remain in the dark, prowling in the shadows like a silent mastermind.
Amidst the chaos, commotion, and noisy chatter, Luther sat down cross legged and cleared his throat.
Rabbit's EQ was slightly higher than the rest of the group, and he could sense that something was off.
He lifted his glasses and looked at Luther quizzically. "What's up boss? Something happened?"
"Rabbit, any chance you prepared the report I asked you for?" Luther asked.
Rabbit sighed and shook his head.
He then threw a threatening glance at Monkey, Luther's self-declared love rival.
"I gave it to him several days back." He said.
Massaging his temples, Luther silently looked at Monkey. What am I going to do with this guy?! Is he being serious?
"Ha Ha… Sorry Boss. I meant to... but somehow forgot… Ha Ha." Monkey scratched his head and handed some crumpled pages to Luther.
"Hmmm..." Luther lifted his head and disbelievingly looked at the hateful guy.
Monkey was always messing around no matter where he was. And it looked like he as well had a bit of a crush on Su Lin.
"I am serious, boss. This time I really forgot" Monkey put a righteous expression on his face and explained.
"..."
"I am telling the truth."
"..."
"Boss..."
"..."
"She is mine. You monster." Monkey broke down and threw a tantrum.
"I am not interested. You can have her." Luther replied in frustration.
"You big liar. Hmph."
Ignoring him, Luther flipped the crumpled pages and went through the details.
Su Lin...
Nothing special about this plain woman. She is an orphan and has no living relations.
Orphan huh… Just like them…
His gaze softened a bit as he looked at her photo on the report and his fingers traced over her face.
She is divorced and is recently trying to start some sort of herbal shop.
So, absolutely nothing special about her, except for the one big thorn in her life, her ex-husband, Shi Meng.
Without even realizing, Luther's expression suddenly turned grim. He looked very serious.
For some reason, he felt uncomfortable knowing that Su Lin had already been married to someone.
She had already lived her life with someone and shared her joys and sorrows with that person.
His eyes saddened ever so slightly and he turned the next page.
Apparently, she was suffering from terminal cancer just a few months ago and suddenly underwent some sort of miraculous recovery.
Shortly after that, her husband had heartlessly divorced her, saying that she had faked her illness for attention.
"Hmph. What nonsense? Why would someone as innocent as her fake her illness?" Luther muttered.
Even scientists don't completely understand the disease. There could be several reasons for the sudden recovery.
Shouldn't he as the husband give her the benefit of doubt?!
"Hmm... He is probably extremely narcissistic." Luther concluded.
