Emily was boredly swiping on her tablet, her eyes revealing a hint of disappointment. The tasks she had browsed through were either simple missions that required almost no skill and offered low rewards, which held little appeal for her experienced mercenary group, or they were large missions with vague targets and unknown risks. While these seemed to offer substantial rewards, they actually required a significant investment of time and manpower, with risks and costs that might not be proportional.
Having rolled in the mercenary circle for years, Emily learned the first lesson of being cautious, which she considered the most important rule for survival. When choosing missions, she not only considered the amount of reward but also evaluated the risks and resources required for the mission. "Better safe than sorry" had become a golden rule in her mind, guiding her to make the most rational choices in this mercenary career filled with unknowns and dangers.
In the midst of the current tasks, it seems that none of them can pique Emily's interest. She understands that for the long-term development of the mercenary group, they cannot take unnecessary risks for short-term gains. She hopes to find a mission that can provide reasonable compensation and be completed within a manageable level of risk, but it's clear that such opportunities are not easy to come by.
Just as Emily was feeling bored with the task selection, a new message from Alex suddenly popped up on her tablet. He briefly informed everyone that there was an urgent matter requiring his immediate attention, and reminded everyone to take good care of the house while he was away. The team members were already accustomed to Alex's sudden actions, as emergencies often occur in this uncertain mercenary life.
Emily responded to Alex's message with a winking sticker, indicating that she had received the message. She then closed the window of the task group and opened a browser to continue watching a series she had not finished before. In this quiet afternoon, free from the pressure of tasks and the tension of battle, she found a rare moment of relaxation in her own little space.
She casually clicked on a series that she had left halfway due to being too busy with tasks, and the familiar theme song immediately filled her ears, drawing her attention back to the storyline on the screen. Thinking that she could enjoy this leisurely time undisturbed today, Emily couldn't help but feel grateful. Occasional days of rest are truly precious for mercenaries like them, who are always dancing on the edge.
"Today is a boring but not bad day. It's nice to have some rest time occasionally," Emily thought, while stretching her body and lying more comfortably in bed, ready to enjoy the tranquility and relaxation of this moment. In this ever-changing world, to have such a leisurely day is a small happiness for her.
Alex lightly straddled his motorcycle, gently touched the start button with his fingers, and the hyperdrive engine immediately emitted a low and powerful startup sound, announcing its awakening. A few seconds later, the suspension system was also activated, and the vehicle began to gently lift off the ground, floating in the air. The surrounding air vibrated, emitting a faint low-frequency sound, as if it were the whisper of future technology.
Alex casually put on his windbreaker. The design of this windbreaker is both practical and stylish, able to withstand the wind speed during flight while keeping the rider comfortable. He reached for a small remote control, pressed it lightly, and the garage door responded with a slow upward movement, revealing the dim streetlights and tranquil night outside.
As the door fully opened, Alex gently revved the hyperdrive engine, emitting a more stable sound. His motorcycle was like a ready falcon, prepared to soar into the sky at any moment. He put on his helmet, gazing forward through the transparent visor, his eyes gleaming with the light of adventure. Then, with a light press on the throttle, the motorcycle, carrying a light yet powerful force, smoothly ascended and disappeared into the night.
Alex was speeding through the city on his motorcycle, the powerful hum of the oversized engine resonating steadily as he weaved through the nighttime streets. The light from the bike cut through the darkness, illuminating the path ahead. His mind was filled with curiosity and speculation about the sudden phone call he had just received and the upcoming commission.
Recalling the unexpected call, the voice on the other end was both serious and mysterious, leaving only an address and simple instructions for him to go to the upscale community of The Light of Edeias, a place reserved for a select few elites and dignitaries, where each building stood as a symbol of art and luxury. Choosing such a location for the meeting undoubtedly added to the mystery of the commission.
He couldn't help but wonder what kind of mission this commission would be. Would it be a secret operation for him to complete alone, or would it involve larger conspiracies and power struggles? In his experience, similar commissions often meant high risk, but also came with high rewards. And what kind of secrets would await him at the place known as The Light of Edeias?
As these thoughts swirled in his mind, Alex's fingers tightened on the throttle, accelerating through the night. Despite countless questions in his mind, a smile of anticipation appeared on his face. For a mercenary like him, every unknown was a new challenge, and he never feared a challenge.
On the winding and bustling city streets, Alex tightly grips the handlebars of his motorcycle, weaving through the traffic with agility. The city's noise is drowned out by the sound of the wind, and his thoughts are completely focused on the road ahead. The vehicles form a moving maze, requiring precise calculations and quick reactions for every turn. Alex's figure swiftly darts through the traffic, like an agile fish navigating a narrow stream.
Ahead, high-hanging signs project clear directions and distance indicators through advanced holographic technology. Alex scans these holographic images, confirming that he is heading towards his destination. These signs not only provide directional guidance but also flash real-time traffic information, helping him find the best route in this vast and complex metropolis.
