My Mommy Became A Billionaire After the Breakup
Chapter 1231

Chapter 1231 Professional Ethics

When Dorian regained consciousness, he found himself completely immobilized.

He glanced around and realized he was no longer in the dark electrical panel room. Instead, he was in a dirty, empty space that resembled an abandoned factory. "Awake, huh?"

A man squatted beside him, grabbing his hair and forcing him to lift his head.

The force was so strong that Dorian felt his scalp might be torn off.

As he looked up, he saw half of the man's head was bandaged.

Dorian smirked.

"You couldn't have won me without resorting to an electric baton, coward!"

Martin tightened his grip on Dorian's scalp.

Though he wanted to keep his face in front of his comrades, he didn't think it mattered in front of Dorian.

"Open your eyes and take a look. It's the 21st century now, and fights can involve high-tech gadgets. Besides..." Martin suddenly released his grip, causing Dorian's head to hit the ground. "You're just a pest threatening my boss."

Dorian stared at Martin with murderous intent.

"Martin, take a break."

At this moment, the door opened.

Athena, who had just finished dinner with her children, walked in nonchalantly.

Seeing her, Martin furrowed his brows.

Athena took a seat opposite him, gracefully crossing her long legs.

Her aura exuded authority as she gazed at Dorian, asking calmly, "Tell me, who are you?"

Martin was among the best in their line of work.

He had been lying in ambush there, and Dorian had no idea there was someone in the electric panel room.

Martin even made the first move.

But Martin still managed to wound him in just a few moves, proving his skill.

"In our line of work, the most forbidden thing is to reveal our identity or betray our employer," Dorian coldly replied. Athena smiled.

"Your professional ethics are quite good. It seems you're not afraid of death."

Dorian remained silent.

"Martin, dispose of him at sea tonight," Athena said as she got up.

Dorian was taken aback.

"Why did you make the decision so quickly? No intimidation or coercion?"

"Is a stupid thief who was taken down by my people with ease worthy of any intimidation or coercion?" Athena asked as she looked down at him.

"A stupid thief? Me?" Dorian's face turned sullen.

It was more sullen than when Martin had called him a pest.

"Aren't you?" Athena inquired.

"Before I retired, I was the top assassin, the best!" Dorian roared.

"Shut up!"

Martin kicked him.

Veins bulged on Dorian's forehead.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he expressed his dissatisfaction, Athena, who had been contemplating, delivered a crushing blow to his dignity. "So what? Can't I throw a top assassin into the sea to feed fish?"

Dorian looked at her in shock.

"Take him away." Athena waved her hand, muttering, "I Thought I could extract some useful information, but I just encountered a man with professional ethics. How dull."

"Wait!"

Seeing Athena about to leave, Dorian shouted.

Athena ignored him while her bodyguards opened the door.

Dorian realized that maybe she wasn't trying to deceive him but was genuinely leaving.

"It's Simon!" he yelled.

Athena, who already had one foot outside the door, couldn't help but frown and turned her gaze to Dorian. "Simon?"

"Yes!" Dorian gritted his teeth. "I retired, found a little girl, and we were living a good life. But he found me, kidnapped Ottilie... If I don't kill your children, he will kill mine!"
