Feeling both fearful and furious, Hellish Assassin exclaimed, “Why can't you let me off?”
Nathan replied placidly, “When you came to kill me, haven't you considered the possibility that you might end up getting killed instead? If you don't want to die, tell me who the person who sent you is. If you come clean, I might consider sparing your life.”
When Hellish Assassin heard that, his expression underwent a series of changes.
If he told Nathan who his employer was, Nathan might spare his life.
However, if the Quillen family knew that he had betrayed them, they would definitely not let him off!
Hellish Assassin gritted his teeth and pretended to give in. He said in a soft voice, “Okay then. I'll tell you who sent me here to kill you. Listen carefully, he is...”
The man's voice grew increasingly soft as he spoke. He was even inching toward Nathan and seemed as if he wanted to whisper in the latter's ear.
Nathan was also listening attentively.
However, just then, Hellish Assassin's expression suddenly changed. With a menacing look on his face, he reached toward Nathan's heart with his left hand, which was shaped like an eagle's claw.
It was a sudden attack!
Nevertheless, Nathan scoffed and grabbed the assassin's wrist with ease.
Exerting a slight force, the man broke Hellish Assassin's wrist with a loud crack.
“Ahhhhhh!”
Unable to bear the pain, Hellish
Assassin shrieked in agony. When he tried to kill Nathan back in the villa, his right hand was already sliced off by Nathan's Snowsphere. With his left hand broken as well, the man's hands were completely paralyzed.
“I'm gonna kill you!”
Just like an injured beast, the assassin let out a furious howl before launching a kick toward Nathan's head.
The movement of his leg was as quick as lightning.
Faced with the stubborn man who seemed determined to stick to his ways, Nathan decided that he would no longer show him any mercy. Blocking Hellish Assassin's kick, the man took a large stride forward and struck a punch at the assassin's chest.
Bam!
The impact shattered Hellish Assassin's sternum and rib cage, destroying his internal organs at the same time.
With that, the man coughed out a mouthful of blood and collapsed to the ground.
“I... I would rather die than... then tell you...”
Nathan replied coldly, "That's all right. In Eurasia, there's nothing I can't find out by myself!”
Hellish Assassin's eyes widened before his head tilted to one side as he breathed his last breath.
