James spoke word by word.
“What are you trying to say?”
“Stop beating around the bush.”
“Get straight to the point. Say what you have to say.”
The assassins were impatient.
James smiled lightly. “Actually, what I want to say is very simple. I can give you money if that’s what you want. I can also give you an ordinary life if that’s what you seek. As long as you put down your bloody knives and quit being assassins, submit to me, follow me, and serve me. Then, everything you wish for will be yours. The most important thing is you will survive.”
James stated his purpose.
“Think about it yourselves. By the way, I must remind you that there are only two more hours until dawn. Time is running out.”
After James finished speaking, he stood up and walked back into the house.
Outside the house.
The group of assassins went silent.
What James had said made sense.
They were good at assassinations but faced with an army, they had zero chance of winning.
James entered the room, leaned on the sofa, and closed his eyes to rest.
Soon, someone walked in.
He slightly opened his eyes.
A tan-skinned man in his 40s dressed in a black coat that looked like he worked on a construction site, often exposed to the sun, walked into the house.
“Black Dragon, I’m willing to submit and follow you.”
The middle-aged man spoke.
James looked at him with a smile.
Savage, an SSS-ranked assassin, ranked sixth on the assassin leaderboard.
He did not expect the assassins to willingly submit to him so soon.
However, he did not let his guard down to these assassins.
He took out a pill he had made earlier and threw it.
Savage caught it, held it in his hand, and inspected it for a moment. He asked with a frown, “What is this?”
James said indifferently, “This is poison. I don’t completely trust you. I’ll have to use poison to control you first. You’ll get the antidote if you’re obedient. Otherwise, the poison will kill you. Think it through first. I’m not forcing you either.”
Savage hesitated slightly, then ate the poison James made.
