Chapter 426 A Killer’s Luck

She grabbed him and threw her weight backward, trying to drag him along.

Raymond didn’t move an inch, letting her tug at him with all her strength.

“Not a chance,” Raymond said without hesitation. He chuckled and pinched her cheek, sounding so indulgently fatherly that Maya wanted to roll her eyes. “Living off your mom is one of my talents.

“Besides, what’s wrong with letting your wife support you?”

He lowered his gaze and asked lightly, “Why don’t you try it yourself?”

Maya stared at him in disbelief. “What?”

“I can’t stand you,” she said.

Raymond raised an eyebrow. “Right back at you.”

Maya fell silent.

He’s so childish.

Every time she talked to Raymond, she was reminded that her father was truly one of a kind.

If someone else’s kid threatened to jump off a building, Raymond would respond in a way only he could.

He’d calmly pull out a megaphone downstairs and tell the kid to do a cool backflip on the way down.

‘Mom!” Maya turned to tattle on him. “Look at Dad!”

Wendy didn’t even look up from the TV as she replied absentmindedly in a soft voice. “Mm-hmm. So childish. I can’t stand him either.”

‘Can’t you say something else?” Maya stuck out her lower lip in an exaggerated pout.

“Then I’ll bounce his comeback right back at him,” Wendy said gently.

Maya fell silent.

Raymond snorted with laughter.

Maya let out a frustrated shriek.

“All right, stop fooling around.”

Wendy finally tore her gaze away from the TV. She ruffled Maya’s curls and patiently explained, “Your dad chose to live off me from the start, and honestly, that made me very happy because I thought he was incredibly handsome.”

Wendy had first met Raymond while carrying out an assassination overseas.

The crowd around her was full of people from all walks of life. Politicians in sharp suits, reporters rushing around, and heavily armed security guards.

Wendy blended into the crowd like any other tourist.

Then, in one fleeting glance, she caught sight of a man.

Raymond leaned against a wall, holding his phone and saying something she couldn’t hear.

With his delicate features, aloof expression, and detached air, he seemed completely out of place amid the noisy political scene around him.

Under the gray sky and fine drizzle, he stood there in a dark overcoat like a figure from an oil painting.

He looked like the perfect brooding assassin in London.

“Even the rain in London wasn’t as gloomy as your dad was back then,” Wendy said dreamily.

Maya fell silent.

The Silent Archive’s kill order had proven highly effective.

Kaia had been especially miserable lately.

She didn’t dare go to school, and even with people secretly protecting her, she couldn’t stay in one place for long.

Even the sight of a roadside security camera made her instinctively lower her head and quicken her pace.

Kaia had been moved to a safe house, where she sat against the cold wall with her lips pressed together and her knees hugged to her chest.

Three knocks sounded at the front door.

Kaia’s breath caught for a beat.

“It’s me,” a low voice said from the other side.

Kaia recognized it and slowly opened the door.

A man stood in the doorway, holding a small travel bag that looked surprisingly heavy.

He entered the room, set the bag at the foot of the bed, and unzipped it.

Kaia saw what was inside.

It was a black handgun.

Kaia’s heart lurched; she’d seen guns before and had received regular firearms training overseas.

But that had always been at a shooting range.
