"Alright." Ivor replied, sitting down across from her. "Although your organization developed the chip, you did agree to lend it to us for half a month, considering our organization's interests. You’re also carrying part of our burden by risking your life now."
As he spoke, he took out a small and exquisitely crafted gun from the inner lining of his pocket.
"This is a secret weapon developed by our organization. It can function as a tranquilizer gun, a regular firearm, or even a mini-explosive. You might not necessarily need it, but having it for self-defense could be useful in emergencies."
Bonnie raised her eyebrows in surprise at the three functions he mentioned. "How can such a small gun contain so many functions? Are you sure you're not joking?"
She hadn't expected the Dark Knight Organization to have such capabilities. They had indeed kept this well hidden, revealing their trump card only now. She might never have known about this ability otherwise.
"You can try it out in the basement." Ivor stood up from his chair. "I'll demonstrate it for you to avoid any accidental misuse."
"Alright!" Bonnie also stood up, showing interest in the secret weapon Ivor offered.
Collin, noticing their intention to go to the basement, quickly got up to lead the way. "I'll take you to the basement of this hotel. The layout is a bit complex, so be careful."
"Got it." Ivor stepped aside to let Bonnie go first and kept a few steps behind her. It was better for their people to take the lead in an unfamiliar location. Despite his current good cooperation with the leader of the Nidhogg Organization, he needed to ensure his safety.
Yasmine hurriedly followed as they started moving, "Wait for me! I'm coming too!"
Hearing Yasmine's loud voice, Ivor glanced at her coolly. "Yasmine, can you control your volume when you speak? Stop being so loud and obnoxious."
Yasmine usually spoke and acted with decorum, although she had a lively personality. But, her exuberant nature seemed magnified, becoming more uninhibited ever since meeting “Mr. Boyd.”
"Boss, I don't think my voice is that loud..." Yasmine replied absentmindedly, her gaze fixed on Bonnie.
Ivor observed her distraction and pressed his temples in frustration. "Never mind. Just remember to lower your voice next time."
Realizing that Yasmine wasn't paying attention to his words, he kept his instructions brief to ensure she understood. Finally, she responded. "Got it, boss. I'll keep my voice down."
She lowered her voice while pointing towards Bonnie. "Boss, could you move aside a bit? I want to follow my savior."
