That was precisely why S-rank female assassins were so coveted. A man's neck would already be
snapped in situations like this. A woman would at least be given a chance to talk her way out of it.
Olivia took a deep breath. Tears welled up in her eyes as she started to put up a performance.
"I saw you passed out at the side of the river and was about to perform CPR..."
"Is that why you took off my shirt?" Wayne's chest was still bare.
Olivia sniffed. "Why else? Do you think I wanted to do it with you? You were unconscious. What could I
possibly do?"
Wayne observed her facial expression like he was trying to see if she was telling the truth.
"Who are you? Why are you in a place like this?"
As he talked, the blood from the injury on his arm stained his shirt. It dripped from his skin onto Olivia's
face.

unconscious here."
Wayne sneered. "Do you think I'd believe that? No matter who you are, you're dying here right now!"
He began to tighten his fingers around her neck. Olivia's brain went into overdrive as she tried to think
of a way to deal with the situation at hand.
She ultimately chose an extremely risky method. If she tried to fight him at that moment, it didn't matter
if she succeeded or not. He would be alerted, and it would be impossible for her to get close to him in
the future.
Tears streamed down Olivia's face. "I'm really a doctor. If you don't believe me, I can prove it to you by
examining your current condition."
Wayne sneered. "You're going to die even if you are a doctor. I don't take any chances."
He tightened his fingers yet again. Olivia was left with no other choice. Wayne was more violent than
the data implied. That was why this was an S-rank mission.
Olivia was prepared to fight to the death since she valued her life more than the success of the
mission.
As she was about to fight back, Wayne suddenly clutched his head with both hands and screamed.
He knelt on the floor like a maniac. His shirt was opened, revealing his muscular torso.
But that wasn't the time to focus on that. Olivia could finally breathe. Wayne almost strangled her!
He seemed to be suffering from a massive headache right now. He held his head with one hand and
reached out toward her with the other in an attempt to kill her.
If she wanted to strike while he was still weakened, she could just draw her gun and shoot him. But that
would mean she would fail the mission.
She decided to take a risk.
Olivia stepped back and said gently, "Does your head hurt a lot? Lay down and I'll examine you."

Wayne drew his gun and pointed it at her. It looked like he was about to fire.
Olivia quickly dodged as the gunshot sounded.
She picked up a rock and smashed it on his forehead. It started to bleed.
"You really are..."
Before he could say anything else, Olivia pushed him to the ground. "Have you calmed down yet? I'm a
doctor. Do as I say!"
Under the gleam of the moonlight, Wayne met Olivia's determined gaze. There was no fear in her eyes.
Then, he felt her hand on his wrist.
The headache made him feel irritated. It made him want to kill the unknown woman before him.
Olivia quickly spoke up, "Don't move. You'll die if you kill me. Did you suffer a major head injury in the
past? The headaches are caused by blood clots.
He stopped raising his gun. "You're really a doctor?"
