After a moment of silence on the other end of the line, the man's voice sounded again.
"There is no need to doubt the investigation capabilities of our ICA intelligence department."
"Hunter Sun is not a product of the Agent modification program."
"Diana, I know what you are worried about."
"How about this! Next, find a way to get some of that Asian assassin Hunter's blood, hair, or something similar."
"I can arrange for the Genetic Technology Research Institute to run a test on his DNA."
Diana's brow immediately furrowed.
Although she had not dealt with Hunter much, she could feel just how difficult that guy was to handle.
He did things flawlessly, with meticulous and careful thought.
Moreover, he possessed a level of strength that even Agent 47, the strongest assassin of the organization she managed, was extremely wary of.
No matter how you looked at it, it was impossible for him to be just an ordinary Chinese-American who was not even nineteen years old.
Diana felt that the task the Director had assigned her was no different from deliberately making things difficult for her.
On the other end of the phone, the man waited a long time without receiving a reply.
He soon spoke again, asking, "What is it, Diana? Do you think the task is too difficult?"
Diana finally opened her mouth and replied, "Director, although I have only been in contact with Hunter for a little over a month, I have felt his difficulty more than once."
"He is very smart, extremely strong, and has a terrifying ability to learn."
"In fact, even with this transaction, I have always felt that he was deliberately testing our ICA's strength."
"Dealing with such a person, I'm afraid it will be very hard to find an opportunity to get his blood or hair."
The man on the other end of the phone laughed again.
"Except for God, how could there be a perfect person in the world?"
"Even 47 is just a relatively complete defective product from the Agent modification program."
"Diana, you have to believe in your own abilities."
"I believe you will definitely be able to handle this matter well."
"Oh, right. I almost forgot to tell you."
"Based on your performance this time, the Board of Directors has promoted your management level within the ICA to GAMMA level."
"Perform well. If you can successfully complete this mission, I can make the decision to help you apply for another level increase, to become a true executive."
Diana felt a surge of joy in her heart and was just about to express her thanks.
Suddenly, she heard the voice on the phone say, "Alright, I have other things to deal with. That's all for today."
"Remember, Diana, if you want to complete this mission, it's actually not that difficult."
"Recall his file, Diana."
"You are a woman, a very beautiful woman at that. That is also your capital."
"Do you understand what you need to do next?"
The phone was quickly hung up, but on her end, Diana's face alternated between green and pale. She felt as if she had fallen into an ice cave, her entire body turning freezing cold.
ICA, full name International Contract Agency!
Going by this name alone, outsiders would easily interpret it as a multinational entrepot trade enterprise.
But Diana knew that the ICA was no such simple entity.
Because the ICA provided international assassination and mercenary services, its business scope covered Asia, Europe, Africa, the Americas, Oceania, and all other major continents.
Although the ICA had been investigated by Interpol and, over the years, remained a key focus of various national intelligence agencies, there was no evidence to prove that this organization definitively existed.
Even someone like Diana—whose parents had served the ICA, who had received ICA training since childhood, and who had become an official employee working for the ICA after passing their tests—knew no further details about it.
In the past, Diana had only visited a few ICA branches to receive missions, dispatch orders, and training, and she had always been brought in blindfolded.
Even she only knew that the ICA had branches in Hong Kong, Singapore, London, and Paris, but as for where the headquarters was, she had no idea.
Diana had once heard her parents say that if the ICA's headquarters wasn't in London, it was on a large ship constantly sailing in unmonitored international waters.
But what the actual situation was, even Diana didn't know.
Because her parents had already died in a certain operation.
Within the ICA, official employees were divided into multiple ranks from bottom to top.
The entry-level NOV (Novice) rank provided mission phone guidance and cleanup for all ICA assassins in a designated city.
The PLUS rank was responsible for acting as a handler for a few to a dozen assassins, arranging missions, and providing logistical support.
The ALPHA rank served as handlers for one to several top-tier assassins, providing them with all necessary support, and could act as the head of a certain city.
The GAMMA rank was the regional head, serving as mid-level management in the administrative department.
The TETRA rank was the head of a large administrative region, serving as high-level management in the administrative department.
Above them were the directors of various ICA departments, and further up were the Directors and the Chairman of the Special Board.
Diana was previously an ALPHA-level official ICA employee, which was why she was qualified to apply to recruit Hunter into the ICA after discovering him.
Until today, because her parents were formerly official ICA employees, and she herself had been educated and raised from a young age in the ICA's own schools, Diana had always been working hard to contribute herself to the ICA and doing her utmost to raise her rank within it.
But today, the Director in charge of managing American affairs had suddenly explicitly told Diana that she could use her body to complete the mission.
From the time she officially joined the ICA until now, Diana had ignored the many suitors around her, dedicating herself entirely to desperately climbing the ranks using her own abilities and methods. Now, she suddenly felt that this world was incredibly unfamiliar.
Before today, she had never imagined that one day she would be asked by her superior to use her body to continue contributing to the organization.
Even if it was the ICA, which she had always considered her home, this was unacceptable.
Thinking about the incredibly messy private life of the Asian assassin named Hunter that the organization had investigated, Diana frowned in disgust!
But at the same time, she also began to seriously ponder how to get his blood and hair.
