To Bowen's dismay, Penny roared, “Shameless!”
Picking up a glass of wine on the table, she splashed the contents all over Bowen’s face.
At that moment, the assassins that were hiding in the dark revealed themselves. There were hundreds of them surrounding Nathan and Penny, and they emitted a murderous aura.
Of those people, there were many from Ospea and Astoria.
Buff and stern-looking, it was clear that they were elite assassins.
All of them were assassins from the Gates of Hell.
At the same time, they heard footsteps coming from the stairwell.
Hades, a tall and well-built man with a bronze mask, followed by Kristoff and a few other powerful subordinates, slowly descended the stairs.
“Mr. Camden, you have completed your mission. You can leave the rest to us now,” Hades stated.
Taking out a handkerchief to wipe away the wine on his face, Bowen backed away to let Hades take the stage. He also requested, “Thank you, Hades. However, please do not hurt my daughter.”
Hades and his subordinates stopped a distance away from Nathan, and the former glanced at Nathan, scrutinizing him from head to toe.
“Are you the one who took down my most skilled assassin and my daughter? According to my rules, those who offend us must die. Are you aware of that?”
Despite his threatening tone, Nathan calmly replied, “Well, do you know that Eurasia is a restricted area for mercenaries and assassins? Those who have the guts to step into our territory should prepare themselves to receive a severe punishment. That includes you.”
Hades chuckled. “I did hear about it and am well aware that mercenaries and assassins could not operate in Eurasia. Those men even termed Eurasia as a forbidden zone.”
Shrugging, he continued, “Unfortunately, we are from the Gates of Hell. These kinds of rules do not apply to us. We are free to come and go as we please and could take away your life if we so please!”
Nathan chuckled. “Do you really think thugs like you are qualified to take me down?”
Thugs?
Hades's expression darkened. “How arrogant! I would like to see if your skills match your attitude.”
He ordered, “Men, get him!”
