Part 2Intercepting the Wrong Brother

When I woke up, I was lying in a hospital bed.

The school security guard had found me passed out and called an ambulance.

The System finally seemed to take pity on me.

"Would you like to change your target?"

I licked my pale, dry lips. "Yes."

"The mission to capture Julian Sterling has failed. This is your final opportunity," the System said.

I nodded calmly.

If I kept tangling with Julian, I wouldn't even get to use my final opportunity. He would torture me to death first.

After a brief pause, the System spoke again, sounding unusually hesitant.

"This time, your target is... Silas Sterling."

I didn't understand why the System sounded so awkward.

Silas Sterling. The 27-year-old CEO and absolute dictator of the Sterling Group, the largest conglomerate in the city.

It was just a coincidence that he shared a last name with Julian.

Maybe the System had watched me get tortured so brutally by Julian that it actually grew a conscience.

"The time limit for this mission has been extended. We are giving you enough time to prepare for your college entrance exams. You are allowed to begin the mission after graduation."

I breathed a sigh of relief, smiling a genuine smile for the first time in ages.

"Thanks."

In my original world, because of certain circumstances, I never got the chance to take my college entrance exams.

At least this would make up for my biggest regret.
