A miraculous doctor descended from the heavens.

Léon: Hello, my esteemed customer.

Customer 378: How's my matter going?

Léon: Dear customer, we have executed Plan A as requested.

Customer 378: And the result?

The Professional: The result was—we failed once again. The casualties were quite heavy. Of the three first-level disciples, one was dead and two were wounded; of the fifteen second-level disciples, ten were dead and five were wounded. If we hadn't withdrawn in time, we might have been wiped out.

Customer 378: Your casualties are none of my business. I pay for your services, that's only fair. Prepare Plan B immediately.

Léon: My esteemed client, the orders for Plan B have been issued and cannot be changed. However, regardless of the success or failure of Plan B, our cooperation will be temporarily suspended.

Customer 378: What do you mean?

Léon: Our cooperation with you has resulted in countless casualties and heavy losses for my secret service. We must recuperate and recover, therefore we will be temporarily suspending all operations.

Customer 378: What about my money?

Léon: The first half is non-refundable; the second half is also non-refundable.

Customer 378: What? Is this the kind of service you offer these days?

Léon: I'm sorry, my esteemed customer, please understand. We are just assassins, not superheroes. The girl you're trying to kill has suddenly been joined by a super-skilled individual. To be able to escape unscathed from an attack by three high-level disciples and fifteen first-level disciples, and to nearly wipe us out—we in the Dark Gate have never encountered anyone like this before.

Customer 378: Don't take on a job you're not qualified for. Don't you have super disciples? Why aren't they being used?

Léon: The Professional: They're on a business trip.

Customer 378: When are you coming back?

Léon: The Professional: Three to five days, possibly.

Customer 378: Then let's wait for them to come back and then execute Plan A.

Léon: The Professional: A year or two, or maybe not.

Customer 378: You bastard, are you kidding me?

Léon: My esteemed customer, please calm down. We are quite professional.

Customer 378: You've dragged this out for so long with Plan A, and the person I'm supposed to kill is still alive and well. Is this your level of professionalism?

Léon: The person you're supposed to kill isn't inherently difficult. But now she has someone by her side who is not only extremely difficult to kill, but could also turn the tables and kill us at any moment—that makes things difficult.

Customer 378: I don't care. I paid for both Plan A and Plan B. You have to get rid of her for me.

Léon: We'll do our best, but it will have to be postponed.

Customer 378: I paid, I'm your customer. I need you to prepare for the next round of action immediately. I can provide you with a more detailed plan. I don't care about the man; but I must kill the woman.

The Killer Isn't Cold: Then I'll go back and report to the sect leader, and I'll give you an answer after we discuss it.

Customer 378: You can't make the decision?

Léon: Yes. I was just a low-level salesman.

Customer 378: Then why are you charging me?

Léon: Taking money is one of my businesses.

Customer 378: I don't have time to waste chatting with you. Get this done right now. Don't you always say "the customer is king"?

The fat man sighed and muttered to himself while looking at the screen, "Sometimes, we treat customers like gods; but sometimes, we also treat customers like 'being fooled'."

Léon: I'm sorry, my esteemed customer. This matter will likely take some time. A reply won't be forthcoming.

Customer 378: Why?

Léon: The killer is not cold. Because the sect leader is also away on a business trip.

Customer 378: When are you coming back?

Léon: The Professional: Three to five days, possibly.

Customer 378: Are you going to say next that it might take a year or two?

Léon: My dear customer, you are very clever.

Customer 378: You think you're so smart? Do you think I'm some kind of monkey?

Léon: Excuse me, my esteemed customer. Please allow me to be frank—you're not as entertaining as a monkey.

Customer 378: You bastard, what do you want? I paid you, and you're not doing anything for me. A killer alliance? More like a shit-eating alliance.

Léon: My esteemed customer, please calm down. We were just doing what you asked. We did exactly as you instructed.

Customer 378: But what was the result?

Léon: The result is that after we finish our business for you, we have to take care of our partner's funeral arrangements.

Customer 378: OMG, I finally understand. You mean this is just going to be dragged on like this?

Léon: If that's your view, we're willing to accept it. After all, the money you paid was only enough for our companion's resettlement. So, you haven't lost out; we've suffered a loss, but we accept it. If you were just saying that out of anger, then we'll continue with Plan A later.

Customer 378: What do you mean I didn't lose out? All my money went down the drain, and I didn't get anything I wanted.

Léon: The Professional: But our brothers are either dead or wounded.

Customer 378: You son of a bitch, what do you want?

Léon: My esteemed customer, I have made myself very clear—let's postpone our collaboration a little while, so that we can have some breathing room.

Customer 378: You guys are so incompetent!

Léon: It's not that we're incompetent, it's that our opponents are too strong.

Customer 378: No need for excuses. You're all a bunch of pushovers who can only bully the weak. If you run into someone tough, you become complete cowards.

Léon: If that's your opinion, then we have nothing more to talk about.

Customer 378: Fine, don't talk then. Damn your secret door, I thought you were something special. Turns out you're nothing special.

Léon: The Dark Door is indeed remarkable. If we put in the effort, achieving your goal wouldn't be difficult. However, the amount of money you offered isn't worth deploying our top disciples.

Customer 378: Oh—now I finally see it. All you've got to say is that you want to raise the price.

Léon: Alright, my esteemed customer, I won't beat around the bush. I have to rush back to prepare for the funeral. If you still want us to complete Plan A, you have two options—one, you wait; two, you increase your price. If you've lost faith in the secret door, then you can log off now.

Customer 378: How much more?

Léon: The Professional.

Customer 378: Then you might as well rob a bank.

Léon: The Professional: My esteemed customer, thanks to that unexpected mastermind, Plan A has become harder than robbing a bank.

Customer 378: Can you give me some time to think about it?

Léon: Yes.

Customer 378: What about Plan B?

Léon: Plan B will be executed as agreed.

Customer 378: I've figured out how to contact you.

Léon: Seven days from now, at this time, I'll still be online waiting for you.

Customer 378: What if you hadn't shown up?

Léon: That means I'm dead.
