Quick Transmigration: Homewrecker System! [BL]

Chapter 264 - 10.5

[Pupa, what is the current Fatemeter and Breakmeter?]

[Pupa: Breakmeter is -30%. Fatemeter is 0%.]

[That Breakmeter refuses to budge!]

[Pupa: That's because you haven't done anything about it. You did two assassination attempts didn't even scratch him.]

[Well, I've tried my best!]

"Agent 69: James Grind," the voice of a middle-aged woman took away all James Grind's attention. His back stood up straight, and he gulped nervously.

"D—Director," James Grind greeted.

The director was a middle-aged woman with shoulder-length white hair. She wore a Chanel dress while crossing her arm displeasingly. "Agent 69, I've come to see that your mission in assassinating Long Zhen has failed twice. Though it is bizarre that he still spares you after two assassination attempts."

James Grind lowered his head because he felt guilty and scared at the same time. He dedicated his life to be a spy because that was the only job he could do without being a sloppy troublemaker.

The director sighed and slid a paper on the table towards James Grind and informed, "Long Zhen will be attending a formal party tonight. I will give you a ticket to the party, this is the best time to assassinate him, try to use poison or something. Remember, do not mess this up, or I will station you to espionage as a crossdressing maid in a maid café.

"GYAAHH! Anything but that!" James Grind remembered when he had to crossdress as a maid in the maid café, and the maid café became popular with many old uncles trying to see him.

"Then don't mess this up!" Director said.

[Ugh, fine, Malory!]

Pupa: Who is Malory?]

[You don't know Malory Archer? She is the chief from the animated series Archer!]

[Pupa:… is this one of your recommendation or what?]

  [You can say that, hehe.]

James Grind was with HenTai once more. They were currently inside a van owned by HenTai. Because HenTai was more of a tech guy, the van had many cool gadgets to help James Grind on his mission.

James Grind was now wearing a white suit. He permed his hair for this formal party, and he looked even more stunning than his usual self. "HenTai, has Long Zhen joined the party?" James Grind asked the make sure.

HenTai watched on his display and saw an impeccably handsome mature man bringing a male companion. "He is with someone here."

"WHAT?!" James Grind hurriedly took a look on the monitor. Long Zhen was currently with a beautiful Asian young man. The man had a tiny built and looked cute. He was standing beside Long Zhen, who had a talk with a higher-up from the government.

Seeing Long Zhen with a beautiful boy gave James Grind a sense of crisis. He fixed his bowtie and turned away. "Hmph! What a player! He has so many men and women around him, no wonder he is divorced and been single for so long!"

HenTai looked at his senior and rolled his eyes. "Senior Grind, this is the best time to join the party. Remember, this party is a charity party, so there will be many rich and powerful people inside, please mind your behaviour."

"What do you mean by minding my behaviour? You green boy, I am your senior. I know what to do!" James Grind said.

HenTai remembered what happened a few weeks ago. When James Grind failed embarrassingly from the vent on Long Zhen's bed and actually thwarted another assassination attempt on Long Zhen.

"Yeah, I believe in you, Senior Grind," HenTai said while silently praying that Senior Grind didn't mess this up once more.

  James Grind used the identity that was given to him by the director, John Groan.

As John Groan, James Grind entered the formal party full of important people talking about their businesses, politics, and even talking about great things that James Grind personally didn't really like.

He strutted around the guests and took some snacks from the server. Some men were immediately attracted when they saw James Grind. They eyed James Grind from afar until one person approached him and said, "Good evening, I saw you standing here alone, so I suppose you don't have a partner here, right?"

James Grind gave the man a cold look and ignored him. The man was used to this, so he smiled and fished out something from his pocket, a traditional tally.

"I am Huang Shu, head of Huang family. You must've heard me once," Huang Shu said.

Yunyu felt the name was familiar. Thus he asked Pupa;

[This name is familiar, I think I've read his name once in the world background. Who is he?]

[Pupa: Huang Shu, 28 years old, is Long Zhen's rival. They are both powerful mafia, although Long Zhen is more powerful compared to him, but Huang Shu is still the second strongest mafia in the country and has formidable influence internationally.]

[Hm… I think I can get some help from him to complete my mission. You know, the enemy of my enemy is my ally.]

James Grind stared at the man who was quite handsome, albeit not as handsome as Long Zhen. But what important was his age? Huang Shu was actually relatively young to be a mafia boss, which proved that he was capable enough at a young age.

James Grind finally gave the man some attention and gave out a thin smile. "Master Huang, of course, I know you. Huang family has soared high under your rule, very commendable indeed."

  "In fact, I should be the one that wonders where your partner for this party is? Such fine, powerful man like you, there will be candidates whether men or women who will line up to be your partner, Master Huang," James Grind said.

"I don't take a random partner to attend a party like this, but…" Huang Shu took one step in to close the distance between him and James Grind. "I don't mind taking you with me."

James Grind laughed. "You don't even know me, so I am also a random person for you."

"Then tell me your name," Huang Shu said.

James Grind had a false identity in this place, John Groan. But he felt that he would be entangled with Huang Shu for a long time. Thus he replied with, "Name's Grind, James Grind. A pleasure to meet you, Master Huang."

James Grind stretched his hand for a handshake, Huang Shu shook hands with James Grind, and Huang Shu suddenly pulled James Grind to his embrace and whispered in James Grind's ear. "Pleasure to meet you, Mister Grind."

***

Huang Shu and James Grind started chatting to pass the time. For a while, James Grind actually forgot about his mission to assassinate Long Zhen. Because Huang Shu was entertaining to talk with, he was a mafia boss but didn't have the same strict and traditional view as other mafias.

Even Long Zhen fell into this category of a strict and traditional mafia boss.

So Huang Shu and James Grind clicked together really well.

HenTai watched how his incompetent senior passed the precious time by chatting with another man. Scared that Senior Grind would screw this up, he warned via earbuds. 'Senior Grind, don't forget about your mission.'
