However, Medusa didn’t seem to mind at all. She continued teasingly, “Boss, seriously, you’re still so young. Why are you always so serious? Why not take some time to dress up? Look at those girls outside the window. They all look so cute. And you?”
Zoe gave Medusa a faint, piercing glance. “Shut up,” she said coldly, and Medusa immediately shut her mouth.
Medusa knew Zoe’s temper well, and Zoe had always been indulgent with her. After a moment, Medusa couldn’t help herself and said, while sipping her black tea, “I’m supposed to be on vacation, enjoying the sea breeze and coconut juice right now.
“Boss, you didn’t call me here just to watch me shut up, did you? Oh, right, boss. You must have met that legendary warrior from Clusia worth ten billion dollars, right? Is he handsome?”
She added, “There aren’t many good men in this world. And it’s even rarer to find a handsome guy who can match you. Boss, have you really never considered being with him? Or at least sleep with him before you kill him. I’m sure that’s a guaranteed win.”
Medusa’s interest was clearly piqued when it came to men, and she seemed ready to chat about it for days on end.,
From the way she was going, it seemed like Medusa could chatter on for three days and nights. Zoe rubbed her temples, clearly regretting ever calling Medusa here.
The next second, Zoe lightly tapped her finger, and the cherry from her dessert flew straight into Medusa’s mouth, effectively silencing her.
“Calm down. Let’s get down to business,” Zoe said in a composed tone.
The teasing ended. As soon as Zoe mentioned business, Medusa’s stirring of her tea paused, and her demeanor changed dramatically. She dropped her playful attitude and became suddenly serious. “Go ahead, boss.”

“I called you to Clusia this time to infiltrate Shawn’s military and get close to him. I need you to gather as much detailed information as possible. I want to know everything about his strengths and his bottom line,” Zoe said.
After realizing that Shawn was far more mysterious and powerful than she had imagined, Zoe decided to take a more cautious approach to the assassination plan.
After their conversation, Zoe and Medusa left the café. Meanwhile, Zack emerged from the café’s private room.
He had just bid farewell to an old friend and was turning to leave when he caught sight of the gorgeous woman sitting in the corner of the café.
In that single glance, Zack was completely stunned. His eyes fixed on her, and even his tongue seemed to tremble.
Zack was not shocked by Medusa’s beauty, but by her identity. She was one of the three guardians of The Ruler of Eminence Nexus.
In the past, Zack had only been privileged enough to catch a distant glimpse of her, which had already earned him great honor in the industry. He often took pride in having seen Medusa and frequently boasted about it.
“Why is she in Clusia? And why is she right here, near Highcrest University?‘ he thought to himself. Zack’s excitement at that moment was beyond words.
Once, he had only seen Medusa by sheer luck from a distance. He had never had the qualifications to speak with her. ‘If I could have a conversation with her this time, that would be incredible. I’m sure others would be extremely envious of me, Zack thought.
Zack immediately approached her with a smile. “Oh my, Ms. Medusa, how could you be here?”
Medusa glanced at the man, who had a rather unattractive face and a somewhat stocky build. She frowned slightly and chose to ignore him.
Zack felt a bit awkward, but in order to get a word in with Medusa, he sat down opposite her and introduced himself. “Ms. Medusa, I’m Zack Shelton, the vice principal of Highcrest University.
“I was also at the Eminence Nexus exchange conference last time. Do you remember me?”
Zack Continued, “Ah, right, here’s my business card. Maybe I’m just a nobody internationally, but in Jelousburg and Clusia, I do have some influence. Ma. Medusa, if you need anything or any help in Jelonsburg, just let me know. I’ll do my best to assist.”
Medusa had no interest in him. She glanced at the business card
He’s the vice principal of Highcrest University? It’s the school where the boss is studying. He has connections in Jelonsburg, and maybe he can help me infiltrate Shawn’s military secretly. Medusa thought. With that, she picked up the card.
Zack was so excited he felt like crying with joy. He tried to calm himself down and asked excitedly, ‘Ms. Medusa, are you here in Jelonsburg for a

vacation?”
Medusa replied with a nonchalant tone, “Im here to find a very important person.” Zack’s mind immediately buzzed with possibilities.
