Chapter 175
“Is there really an assassin?” Peggy looked at Cameron’s anxious demeanor with her brows slightly furrowed.
“Of course. Why would | lie to you?”
“Where is Ms. Jones now? We need to find her quickly!” Cameron asked, his voice tinged with urgency.
“Don’t worry, Ms. Jones is safe,” Peggy reassured him. “Otis is personally responsible for her security
this time.
Her words calmed Cameron down.
“You've met Otis. He's a top-notch expert, much stronger than you!”
Despite Cameron's impressive rescue from the mercenaries last time, Peggy considered his skills far

inferior to Otis’s.
Otis was a real expert. He could break rocks with bare hands, while Cameron's efforts seemed more flashy but
ultimately ineffective to Peggy. If Otis had been there, Peggy knew his mere presence would have subdued the
enemy without even trying.
However, Peggy was unaware of a crucial detail. The ability to restrain one’s power was often more challenging
than showing it. That was a hallmark of a true master, distinguishing between great and top-level experts. With
no understanding of martial arts, Peggy could only judge based on visible strength and presence. She did not
realize that true experts never flaunted their abilities.
“Otis is protecting her, huh,” Cameron muttered and did not argue with Peggy’s assessment. As long as Laura
was safe, that was all that mattered to him.
“By the way, Peggy, where is Ms. Jones now? | have something to ask her,” Cameron redirected the
conversation.
“Hmph, you just peeped on me, and you think Ill just let that go?” Peggy crossed her arms. She was visibly
displeased.
“Peggy, haven't | explained the reason already?” Cameron gave a wry smile.
“Who knows if you're really here to find an assassin? All | saw was someone staring intently at my legs, almost
as if they wanted to touch them!” Peggy retorted.
She was fully aware of the effect her legs had on men. Many men ogled her when she walked by, and she didn’t
expect Cameron to be any different.
“Uh...” Cameron's mouth twitched. He admitted to himself that Peggy's legs were indeed beautiful. But his
surprise earlier was genuine. He hadn't expected anyone other than an assassin to be in the changing room, let
alone Peggy changing her... stockings.
However, traces of the assassin still lingered in the changing room. This indicated that the assassin

had been here before! Cameron grew solemn upon realizing this.

“You're putting on a serious act after getting caught red-handed?” Peggy noticed Cameron's sudden change in
demeanor and scoffed, “Typical men.”
“You pervert, what are you doing in the women’s restroom...” Peggy followed.
She intended to scold Cameron for his inappropriate behavior. However, her expression shifted as she entered
the restroom, and her words trailed off. She saw Cameron staring at the restroom’s high window, the one used
for ventilation.
And that window, which had been closed when she entered the restroom earlier, was now open.
