Female Novel
Chapter 462
James stayed in the tree, not making a move.
However, he knew that the woman had failed her mission. Nothing awaited her except death.
This was perfect. He could have her join him, instead.
Nearby, behind a big tree.
The assassin still had her hand pressed to her wound, but blood poured out regardless.
She had been shot, and it had hit her artery. She did not have much time left.
The masked man slowly followed her blood on the ground and arrived at the tree where the assassin
was hiding behind.
“You know the rules, May. A failed assassination means death, but it also depends on the
circumstances. You could have lived if the enemy had not seen your face. You’ve been exposed, so
according to our rules, you must die.”
The assassin walked away from the tree.
Her face was pale as she spoke slowly to the masked man in front of her. “All these years, I’ve done so
much for the organization, but just because he saw my face, I have to die? That’s the Black Dragon
we’re talking about. The success rate for killing him is less than one percent.”
“Rules are rules,” the man said coldly, then pointed the gun at her.
Swish!
A silver needle shot out and embedded itself into the back of the man’s head.
He slumped slowly to the ground.
Thud!
The leaves flew up, then floated back down again.
James approached slowly.
The assassin was at her limit. She fell to the ground when she saw James.
James walked over to her and looked at her bloody shirt. He knelt down and tore it open, revealing a
bloody wound on her chest.
“Consider yourself lucky,” James said.
He pulled a wire out of the sleeve of his jacket and entered the end of it into the wound.
The bullet was pulled out by the wire.
Immediately after that, James took out some silver needles and used them to stop her bleeding and
protect her heart veins.
He helped the assassin sit against the tree.
The assassin was deathly pale. She looked at James.
“People say the Black Dragon had unparalleled medical skills. Looks like I was able to witness it for
myself.”
She was shocked at how skilled he was.
He did not even need to touch the wound to take the bullet out. That technique was hard to believe if
she had not seen it for herself.
“Why did you save me?”
Her pale face was full of questions as she stared at James.
“Because you have a conscience,” James said indifferently. “You have principles and didn’t target mynovelbin
wife just because you wanted to kill me. If you had captured her and used her against me, you
would’ve had a much higher chance of success, but you didn’t.”
“Is that so?”
The assassin was doubtful.
In her line of work, there was a rule to never involve family.
This was her rule, but it was also their world’s rule.
Once the rule was violated, there would be no place for her in that world.
James examined her. “I’m curious,” he said. “What organization are you from?”
She could not return to her organization anymore after today. They would only send people after her,
anyway.
At this point, there was no reason for her to keep them a secret.
“I’m May Argentum. I’m a member of the Dark Castle, and one of their three SSS-ranked assassins.”
“The Dark Castle?”
“Yes.”
