Chapter 495 Sudden Change In Dark Web
As Hayes was speaking, his legs suddenly went weak, and he fell to his knees. “You cunning girl…”Hayes pointed at Xiara, wanting to scold her, but his voice suddenly changed and he fell flat onto theground.
Giggling, Xiara squatted beside Hayes and pinched his cheek. “Your nickname is Tiger, eh? You looklike a tiny kitten to me.” “That’s enough. Give him the antidote if you’re done messing around. Don’t tellme that you want me to deploy the troops?” Jonathan asked, frowning.
Upon hearing that, Xiara glanced at Jonathan’s back with a conflicted gaze before fishing out a pill fromher pocket. “Listen here, little kitty. I have a hundred ways to punish you if you dare to mess with meagain. Hmph. How dare you mess with me? You’re too low for that.”
With that, she shoved the pill into Hayes’ mouth, despite how murderous the latter’s gaze was.
After that, she got to her feet and leaped toward Jonathan without even bothering to look at Hayes.
If one were to judge Xiara based on her looks, no one would be able to guess that young girl who wasabout nineteen years old was actually one of the top ten killers on Dark Web.
Meanwhile, Jonathan frowned at the tablet Xiara handed to him while sitting in the car that was on thehighway below the mountain.
“This is the internal server of Dark Web’s assassins. Go on. Take a look at the announcement,” Xiarasaid, giggling with the lollipop in her mouth.
Jonathan studied the server’s interface. The layout was clean and simple, with clear records of Xiara’snumber of missions, success rate, and the amount of money.
Seeing the string of zeros in the balance, Jonathan chuckled. “The amount of money you have is waymore than what any prestigious family in the city owns. You won’t be able to spend all of that in thislifetime, no matter how extravagantly you live. Why do you still want to work in this industry?”
As Jonathan was saying that, he tapped on Dark Web’s notice board.
Xiara glanced at the gorgeous view outside the window and pressed her forehead against it.“Becoming an assassin is easy, but getting out of it is difficult. I started killing people when I wasthirteen years old. It’s been nine years now. I’m already tired of killing, but I know if I stop that, I’d bekilled. Once an assassin kills a prestigious family’s core members, they’ll never stop finding theassassin. The reason they can’t find me is not that I’m hard to find, but I’m constantly wandering allover the world, changing my identities all the time. To be honest, if there’s a place that’s totally safe forme, I’d like to get a good rest without having to be on my toes all the time. I think… that’s what everynormal girl will do, right?”
Xiara’s voice slowly became softer. When Jonathan turned around, the girl had already closed hereyes.
However, judging by her tense body and the gun in her cuff, Jonathan knew she would wake up toattack if there were any sudden movements.
With that, he turned away and returned his gaze to the tablet.
The announcement on Dark Web was directly related to Jonathan.
Basically, the announcement had turned Jonathan into a proof of allegiance.
Back then, Dark Web’s bounty list was only the amount that was directly rewarded to the assassins.This time, there was a name of an organization on the assassin section of Dark Web calledApocalypse.
Currently, the top three assassins on the list have joined the organization.
The first member was the assassin who had been dominating the list for a long time and never droppedfrom his rank. He was dubbed Blaze of Death.
The second member of the organization was an assassin who performed two hundred successfulassassinations, and a fool for killing the former leader of Ordano.
Finally, the third member was Punisher, who had been missing for three years and was recentlyreleased from Northern Crimson Prison.novelbin
Apart from the arrogant and attention-seeking Punisher, the other two never revealed much aboutthemselves publicly. This time, however, the trio had joined the organization at the same time. Onecould imagine how powerful the new organization would be in the future.
And with such an organization, many assassins would do anything to join it.
Based on the announcement that was released, there was only one condition to join Apocalypse—killJonathan.
Jonathan frowned when he saw his picture on the screen.
Punisher has betrayed me!
Jonathan took out his phone and dialed Punisher’s number. The former only heard two beeps beforehe picked up.
“I’ve been waiting for your call, Jonathan.”
“Punisher, I told you this before. I have the power to release you, but I can kill you as well,” Jonathansaid calmly.
Punisher burst out laughing. “Oh, I believe your words, that’s for sure. You’re Asura, after all. However,let me remind you that Chanaea is not the only country in this world. I know you must be tracking myposition using technical means, but so what? What are you going to do once you find my location? Areyou going to come here and kill me? Are you going to send a special guided missile to blow up the cityI’m in? You can’t do that, right? No matter how powerful Asura’s Office is, they’ll never be able to dealwith everyone in the world. However, I can promise you that Apocalypse is capable of doing that. Thisbounty will turn you into all the elite assassins’ targets, and soon, they’ll be launching a massive attackon you. So, enjoy yourself, Asura.”
After hanging up the phone, Jonathan tossed the tablet aside.
Punisher had been locked up for three years, and he was well aware of Asura’s Office’s powers.Hence, he would not dare to simply retaliate.
The fact that he had the guts to make such statements only meant one thing. A more powerfulorganization had become Punisher’s backer—Apocalypse.
Jonathan’s thoughts raced as he thought of the new organization’s name.
This organization has convinced Punisher that it can go against Asura’s Office and is even morepowerful than the office. Looks like Dark Web is trying to stir up a different kind of trouble, eh?
“I really can’t believe you’d choose to trust a professional assassin.” Xiara stretched her body like a cat.However, it was an eyesore to see a dagger in her left hand and a gun in her right.
“What about you?” Jonathan asked softly.
“What about me?”
“Can I trust you?”
“Of course, you can.” Xiara put away her weapons and leaned on Jonathan’s shoulder. “I never said Iwanted to kill you,” she whispered into his ear.
Xiara’s breath landed on his face. If Jonathan were to turn his head slightly, he could easily steal a kissfrom Xiara.
However, he knew that woman was a vicious person under the disguise of her cute and obedientcharacter.
For all he knew, Xiara’s lips could be covered in poison.
“Reporting in!”
Just as the duo was in an intimate position, a deep voice sounded outside the window. It was Hayeswho had just descended the mountain after receiving the antidote.
Standing outside the window, Hayes immediately turned his head away when he saw the position theywere in. “I’m sorry, Mr. Goldstein! I didn’t know you were busy. I’ll tell the others to disperse and warnyou when—”
Before he could finish his sentence, the car door opened, and Jonathan sent Hayes flying out with ahard kick.
Jonathan got out of the car, looking livid. “What rubbish are you talking about? Are you done deployingthe troops?”
“The highway is sealed, and the artillery base is laid out. Please give us your next orders, Mr.Goldstein,” Hayes reported loudly while puffing up his chest.
“That mountain top from just now. I want it gone,” Jonathan said plainly.
