Chapter 580 - Sacrificing her Sanity

When Alex heard the name, he clenched his jaw and his lips were pressed together. But that was for only a fraction of seconds as he was able to hide her anger afterward. He became impassive again.

Alex became silent as he glared at an inkstone displayed on his table.

He is aware of the affection that Senator Rizza has for him and if she founds out that he has the same kind of affection towards the heiress of the Robin Hood Society, he is sure that she will become more aggressive on having her dead.

And based on the Senator's personality, he could tell that she wouldn't be satisfied with having her just dead.

Now he is conflicted whether he should let the Senator use his men in inflicting harm towards his beloved or he would turn her down.

"Others were wary in touching even a single strand of her hair. But you... You want her dead. Aren't you too bold?" Alex stated with a smirk.

Senator Rizza just smiled and shrugged her shoulder. "She messed with the wrong person." She said in a playful voice.

"I wonder..." Alex trailed while staring at the Senator condescendingly.

"A week ago, someone audaciously stole a huge amount of money from my bank account. The other officials had the same experience. My instinct tells me that she is the one behind this scandal." She said with a cocked head.

To hell with your instinct. Alex thought internally. Well, based on what she said, it is something that The Robin Hood Society would really do.

"Why I haven't heard that they already confirmed that she is the current leader of the Robin Hood Society." Alex leaned back lazily and stated.

"Why do I have a feeling that you don't want to help me?" The Senator playfully asked although she was already having qualms as to where this conversation is heading to.

"You are right, I don't want to help you. But hiring an assassin and asking for help were two different things." Alex said in a straightforward manner.

Senator Rizza is getting irritated.

"You do know you are dealing with The Robin Hood Society and The Twelve Army, right?" Alex asked maintaining his cold demeanor.

He is prolonging this conversation while thinking if he is going to let her hire his assassins.

"Yes. And I don't care." She replied arrogantly.

"I noticed your guards outside. They are from the Twelve Army." He stated pointing out her hypocrisy.

"And so?" Senator Rizza raised her eyebrows. She is getting irritated at his demeanor but damn, he looks hot and sexy in that kind of demeanor.

"You are not afraid of ending up in their chamber?"

The Senator smiled. "So, what is this? You are worried about me?" Although he looked cold and impassive his words give her hope but only to be disappointed by his straightforwardness.

"No. I'm worried about my men." He said as if his men were more important than her and it made the Senator furious.

She frowned and said, "Are you doubting your men's capabilities?"

"No. I doubt your judgment. After all, you are willing to sacrifice your sanity just because of your instinct." He stated the fact that she just wanted to kill Jenny Do based on the fact that her instincts tell her that she is the current leader of the Robin Hood Society and that she is the person behind her stolen money and the bribery scandal without any concrete evidence.

And her capriciousness might end up with her locked out in the Twelve Army's chamber while losing her sanity.

Senator Rizza narrowed her eyes on him. If it was another woman, they would already lose interest in Alex. His demeanor is a turnoff. But not her, he was a challenge for her.

"Are you going to let me hire your assassins or not?" She said in an irritated tone. She wanted to get this over with so that she could now proceed to her other agenda.

"Yes," Alex said without hesitation. He finally came into a decision.

"But..." Alex trailed and gave the Senator an icy glare which she didn't know what for. "Although I got the best assassins in the country, I cannot guarantee the success of this mission. If this fails you cannot put the blame on me or my men."

Alex's assassins have a 100% success rate unless they deliberately wanted a mission to fail.

Senator Rizza understands his concern, after all, they were dealing with the Robin Hood Society and the Twelve Army which no one has ever dared to do before.

But it is not like she is only relying on these assassins. They have a lot of connections, remember?
