Chapter 544 - 523: There are Benefits
New York.
Gao Yi rarely visited New York, but this time he was meeting Panetta, and since the CIA headquarters wasn’t too far from New York, it became an almost inevitable meeting location.
As for Washington, it was too close to Lanli, making it unsafe.
Coming to the United States was essentially entering the stronghold of the Dark Web. Although Gao Yi had been careful to conceal his whereabouts, he still had to be extra cautious.
Accompanying Gao Yi were Yuri and Dani. Of course, Lucy was also there, and when it came time to find a place to stay in New York, Gao Yi realized how distinctively conspicuous everyone around him was.
Yuri was short, skinny, and small, while Dani was overly fat. Xinfeng seemed normal, but really, he was the only one who appeared somewhat ordinary.
As for Lucy, her problem was, of course, being too beautiful.
No wonder Yuri could only work behind the scenes; his appearance was beyond salvaging, even with makeup.
No wonder Lucy, despite her striking looks, was relegated to being "consumables." Her image was too vivid—after being used once or twice, she essentially lost the possibility of functioning as an assassin. Better to save her for one big job before retiring her entirely.
Normally, it didn’t feel like a big deal, but in the enemy’s stronghold, where their whereabouts needed to remain hidden, having companions with such distinctive traits was ultimately not a good thing.
