“Whoever it is, at least we’re not fighting alone. Mr. Flintstone, let’s head south toward the forest. It’s a good hiding spot where we won’t be discovered easily,” Freddie suggested.
Zacharias had a hunch, and it wasn’t just anyone who arrived. Those men were probably Richard’s men. Could she be here too?
Meanwhile, Richard soon realized that this wasn’t the simple situation that Zacharias had described. He had years of experience under his belt. Naturally, he could tell that this was an assassination attempt on Zacharias.
Richard encountered an assassin head-on. When the assassin caught sight of him, he hesitated briefly before asking, “Who are you?”
Richard’s appearance wasn’t on their hit list. So, the assassin didn’t want to make a mistake and cause irreparable damage.
“My target is Zacharias Flintstone,” Richard replied promptly. The assassin heaved a sigh of relief. “You’re Mr. Webb’s men, right? No wonder I haven’t seen you here before.”
Richard could barely hide the shock in his eyes. Zain Webb? Did he betray Zacharias? If he was right, that meant that Zacharias’ decision to come to the island with Zain was indeed part of a massive conspiracy.
“Yes, I’m with Mr. Webb. Where exactly is Zacharias right now?”
“All signals on the island are cut off. No external communication can come through. Not even satellite signals. It’s quite the thrill! I would have never imagined that I would have a chance to hunt down the vice president like this. This is truly one hunting game that no other can top in my lifetime.” The assassin lit a cigarette and spoke casually, “So, don’t worry. There’s no rush. We have plenty of people here. There’s no way he can escape from our clutches. Besides, there’s no point working so hard when we’re all going to get paid the same regardless of who kills him.”
Richard’s fists clenched. He hadn’t expected such audacity to occur right under Ren’s nose, especially with Zacharias as the target.
“Want a cig? I can bet all my savings that Zacharias never once suspected that Mr. Webb would be one of ours. You know, we almost killed him earlier. Unfortunately, his men reacted quickly and saved him at the very last second,” the assassin said while finishing the cigarette and crushing it underfoot. “He probably fled south. It’s an undeveloped area. So, that’s their best bet if they want to lay low and regroup.”
At that moment, someone called out to him, “Tiger, let’s go. We’re heading south.”
