He stopped and sat down, then continued to smoke.
The assassin opened her eyes slowly and stared at James, who seemed preoccupied.
‘Is this really the Black Dragon? They say the Black Dragon doesn’t hesitate when killing people and knew no mercy. Looks like the rumors were wrong.’
“Leave.”
James shot a glance at her and waved her away.
“...”
She was stunned.
He let her go, just like that?
Before coming here, she knew there was only one conclusion for her if she failed to kill him, and that was death.
She had not expected that he would spare her.
“Y-You’re actually letting me go?” she asked tentatively.
“Get lost!” James shouted.
The assassin dragged herself to her feet and left.
She walked for a few steps, then turned around. James was sitting on a rock, thinking about something.
She turned back and stared at James. “Alright, what do you want to know?”
James let out a subtle, unnoticeable smile, then lifted his head to look at her. “What, you’re gonna talk now?”
“Depends on what you ask. There are some things I’m not allowed to say.” The assassin sat down.
“Who wants to kill me?”
She shook her head. “Dunno.”
“You don’t know? Then why did you try and kill me?”
“I got the job off the dark web. There are bounties on you all over the world. They’ve all accumulated to ten billion in total.”
James rubbed his nose.
Was he only worth ten billion?
“Who are you? Which power do you belong to? When did this country get assassins like you?” James looked at the assassin. She was extremely powerful, yet she was not vulgar. Her strength was even on par with the 28-nation martial arts gurus.
“Well…”
