Spy-x-War Showdown

"What should we do? Are you confident?"

Chris shook his head, then said to Xiao Ran: "I am confident, but definitely not fully confident."

Xiao Ran took a deep breath and said, "I can guess what that guy Anton will do, those people are nothing but brute force, but you..."

After sizing Chris up and down, Xiao Ran frowned and said: "Are you really up for it? I’m not doubting your ability, but turning someone over or, let’s say, bribing someone is really not the same as swindling."

Chris smiled and then replied with a calm face: "Actually, it’s more or less the same, it’s all about fooling people."

Xiao Ran shrugged and said: "I hope you won’t need me to step in when the time comes. Apart from not wanting to kill to silence someone, actually... I really dislike blood, especially being up close, you know I only brought a handgun, and I don’t plan on using it."

Chris smiled again, not arguing further with Xiao Ran, but instead glanced at his watch and said: "It’s eleven o’clock, we should hurry, it’s not good if we’re too late."

"What does being early or late have to do with anything?"

"Anton uses violence, and I cannot use violence. Since I cannot resort to violence, I have to be polite, and being polite means not disturbing people too late."

"Alright, that makes some sense."

Xiao Ran stopped talking, quietly following Chris to the front of a two-story house.
