Chapter 10
Upstairs, Nicole had taken a shower and gotten changed, finally getting a moment of peace.
With nothing to do, she turned on her computer.
After fiddling with the normal Windows interface for a while, a mysterious window popped up, revealing a list of The Hunter jobs inside.
Looking at the list of jobs, a head portrait flashed in the private chat window. She clicked open it and saw the teammate codenamed Specter talking to her. [Lucifer, you have been offline for many days. Where have you been?]
[Just living a few days of normal life,] Nicole calmly replied.
[You have been on the wanted list online. I can’t believe that you can still enjoy a normal life.] Specter showed her a few screenshots. While she was away for the past few days, someone had pinned an order at the top, and she was the target.
[Isn’t that common?] Nicole smirked, not taking it seriously.
In the dark web called The Hunters, whether it was The Hunters Union or a lone Hunter, it was common to offend someone because of taking on certain jobs. Most of the jobs she had accepted this year were big cases, and it was normal that she was now wanted.
[Common? Didn’t you see the bounty? It is $10 million!] Specter attached an emoji that showed as if he was about to crawl out of the screen.
[Oh, yeah?] Nicole clicked an icon, and sure enough, she saw the reward of the job, which was the highest reward of this year. It seemed that she had stepped on someone’s toes, and that person was offering a $10 million bounty to come after her. That was interesting.
