Chapter 276
They followed Jake solely for the sake of wealth. However, money could only be enjoyed if their liveswere intact. When their lives were on the line, running for their lives became paramount.
“Stop running! Come back!” Jake roared at the top of his lungs. Of course, no one would still listen tohis commands.novelbin
These lackeys were people whom Jake carefully chose. Since they had been staying in the manorsince the traps were set up, they were already familiar with the parts of the building that had no traps.Therefore, their escape route was astonishingly unified.
Thomas watched this scene from the hillside with the corners of his mouth slightly raised into a smugsmile. This was going as planned.
Of course, he didn’t let those lackeys go. When they rushed out of the gate of the manor, thinking thatthey had finally escaped, a burst of gunshots rang through the sky, and all the lackeys became corpsesone after another.
“Good job, Thomas. The plan was a success. I doubt you’ll need me for the rest. I’ll make a move,then.”
“Zach—” Thomas turned his head and wanted to say a few more words to Zach, only to find that therewas no one around him. Zach was nowhere to be seen.
“Ha…” He sighed as he put the sniper rifle back into the guitar case, slung it on his back, andsauntered toward Green Lake Manor. He wanted to see with his own eyes who would be so shamelessas to dig a person’s grave!
After entering the manor, Thomas strode toward the villa. Every step he took was according to theroute the lackeys escaped through just now, so it was impossible to trigger any of the traps.
In the manor, Jake was on the verge of crying as he watched Thomas approaching. He never dreamedthat the mechanism he proudly arranged would be broken so easily by the man.
There were still many supposedly miraculous mechanisms that hadn’t and could no longer be used.
“M-Mr. Hind, what do we do now?” the man asked, trembling.
Despite his own panic, Jake put on a calm and composed demeanor as he reprimanded, “Why are yougetting all anxious? Even if our plan failed and those lackeys are dead, we still have the assassinranked third in the World Assassin Ranking! Gentlemen, we’ll need your help for what comes next.”
The four assassins saluted at Jake and turned to leave. They were still reeling from Thomas’ display ofauthority moments ago. Despite their years of experience being assassins, they had never witnessedsuch astonishing marksmanship. The memory of recent events sent shivers down their spines.However, at that moment, they didn’t consider Thomas a threat. After all, he had foolishly exposedhimself while sniping from a distance. They were confident that Thomas wouldn’t stand a chanceagainst them in close combat.

Little did the five of them know that as their figures disappeared, Jake stood up and exclaimed, “Whatare you waiting for? Run!”
The man didn’t dare to hesitate and hurriedly followed Jake, taking the chance when Thomas wasn’tfocused on them to flee from the scene.
Just as Thomas reached the entrance of Green Lake Manor, four figures surrounded him. Heproceeded to size the four men up with his eyebrows slightly furrowed.
He could tell that each of them was a formidable opponent. It seemed that the mastermind behind allthis was willing to go to great lengths to bring him down.
The four men howled and charged at Thomas. “Attack!”
Thomas’ eyes filled with fierce determination. Despite their impressive skills and his own physicalweakness, he wasn’t intimidated by them. Killing them would be as easy as pie.
Boom!
With the force of a thunderbolt, Thomas’ Iron Fist struck right on the chest of the first attacker whocharged at him. The man’s body flew backward, soaring more than three meters before lifelesslycrashing to the ground.
“F*ck!”
The remaining three were taken aback by Thomas’ retaliation. They hadn’t expected him to possesssuch remarkable close combat skills in addition to his exceptional marksmanship.
At this moment, they finally started thinking about retreating because they realized they were no matchfor Thomas when they saw his speed and strength.
However, since they had already charged ahead, they had no choice but to fight head-on.
Like a God descending to earth, Thomas leaped into the air, delivering a powerful and forcefulroundhouse kick that took the life of another assassin.
In just an instant, four assassins were reduced to two. One was the assassins’ group leader while theother was ranked third on the World Assassin Ranking and was known for his skills in single combat.
Seizing the opportunity while Thomas launched an attack, the two of them quietly circled around to hisback.
“Go to hell!”
The duo struck almost simultaneously, their massive fists resembling fierce tigers pouncing at Thomas’head.
Sensing the deadly intent behind him, Thomas swiftly turned around with a lightning-fast maneuver,and his fists unleashed toward the incoming blows.
Bang! Bang!
Crack! Crack!
The two men’s arms were directly shattered by the tremendous impact from Thomas, and they fell tothe ground as they lost their ability to fight.
They looked at each other with disbelief in their eyes. Even though they knew Thomas was powerful,they never expected that they would still be no match for him, even with their combined efforts.
Thomas merely glanced at them before he lifted his foot and crushed their legs without any hesitancebefore he headed into the manor.
He carefully searched the place, making sure there was no one else left inside, before returning andlooking down at the two men.
“Tell me, who is your master?”
The two men turned their heads, wearing expressions that showed their determination not to speak.After all, they had some integrity left.
At the sight of this, Thomas had a sinister smile and grabbed their intact hands before he increased hisforce into his grip.
Crack! Crack!
“Ah!” The two men immediately let out agonizing screams, sounding as if they were slaughtered pigs.
“I’ll give you another chance. Are you going to talk or not?” Thomas asked coldly.
He had no sympathy for these men. If it weren’t for his own strength, he would probably be the onelying on the ground enduring the torture.
“We won’t talk! Just kill us if you dare!”
“Sure.” Thomas nodded and snapped the neck of the assassin skilled in single combat.
“Tsk! This is the first time I’ve heard such a request. I’ll fulfill it for you, then!”
Thomas took out a fruit knife from his clothes and said to the last person alive, “It’s fine if you don’twant to talk. You must have heard of death by a thousand cuts, right? It’s when you cut a person’s body
with forty-nine cuts and turn them into a skeleton while they’re still alive. You know what? Just hearingabout it is boring, so I’ll let you experience it now!”
As he spoke, he approached the man with the fruit knife in his hand.
“No!” The man’s eyes widened in terror. “I’ll talk! I’ll talk, alright?”
He was scared. He didn’t even know if the person in front of him was human. He is the devil incarnate!
