Their current situation wasn't optimistic, and they needed to decide quickly.
Collin had never heard Bonnie speak to him in such a severe tone. Despite the dimness in his gaze, he understood that Bonnie had made up her mind, and nothing he said could change her decision.
Bonnie would assign someone else to do the task even if he refused. Compared to others, he trusted himself more. He would wield his precise marksmanship to minimize harm to Bonnie. With this in mind, Collin had made his decision.
"I understand, Ms. Bonnie. I'll handle this task. Just send me a message when you need me to act," Collin replied.
Seeing Collin agree to the task, Bonnie felt slightly relieved and softened her tone. "Hmm, don't think I'm forcing you. You should already understand that obtaining the chip requires certain sacrifices. If my injury can bring us closer to accessing the chip, then it's worth it."
Collin's tone was heavy with concern. "Ms. Bonnie, I understand what you're saying, but—"
Bonnie cut him off. "Since you've agreed, stop talking. The more you say, the less courage you'll have to do this."
Collin sighed heavily. "Alright, I won't say any more, but there's one thing I must say!"
"What is it?" Bonnie was curious."Well, go ahead,"
"That is—" Collin took a deep breath, with a thousand words swirling in his chest, ultimately condensed into one sentence, "Take care."
Bonnie couldn't believe this was what he wanted to say at this crucial moment. She was somewhat amused and touched by his concern. "Understood. Rest assured, I won't let anything happen to myself."
Collin felt somewhat reassured by Ms. Bonnie's assurance, "Alright, Ms. Bonnie, that's all for now. I'll go and make arrangements."
Bonnie replied softly, "Okay."
After hanging up with Bonnie, Collin gathered his team and prepared for the task she had assigned him.
However, Ivor’s side received news just as Collin finished arranging things. Floyd stood before Ivor and reported, "Mr. Ivor, according to our surveillance of the Nidhogg Organization’s subordinates, they recently conducted a large-scale personnel gathering. It seems they're planning a major operation."
"A major operation?" Ivor frowned slightly, his dark eyes shifting to the phone not far away. "Let's wait and see if that guy, Collin from the Nidhogg Organization, will notify us."
