Chapter 292 Assassination
Bang! The sound shattered the silence in the hallway.
Jonathan could feel his fist come into contact with something or someone.
The next moment, he heard a muted groan as a black figure staggered backward and crashed into the wall behind him.
“How did you notice my presence?” the black figure asked in a raspy voice.
As an assassin, he was proficient in hiding in the shadows and striking when his victims least expected it.
However, not only did his attack fail, but his prey also discovered him.
For a man of his profession, it was an outright humiliation.
“What’s so difficult about it?”
Staring coldly at him, Jonathan charged forward and launched another punch. He wasn’t going to give the assassin an opportunity to counter-attack at all.
The next moment, a loud crack of fractured bone rang out. The latter had zero chance of defending himself. He spewed a mouthful of blood before dropping to his knees in front of his target with a thud.
“Considering how weak you are, how did you end up becoming an assassin?” After shooting the assassin a glance, Jonathan stomped on his knee to shatter it into pieces.
The black figure slumped onto the ground after losing all his strength.
“Wh-Who exactly are you?” Staring up at Jonathan’s condescending expression, the assassin’s face was red with indignance.
Throughout his years as an assassin, he had killed many victims but had never suffered such a humiliation before.
The tables had turned. From a hunter, he became a prey before he could fire a shot. It was an outrageous disgrace.
“You should’ve done your homework. How dare you attempt an assassination if you know nothing about your target?” When he noticed the dissatisfaction on the assassin’s face, Jonathan eyed the man nonchalantly. “Before you came to kill me, did no one tell you what happened to the last assassin who tried?”
“What happened?” the latter asked as he glared at Jonathan.
“I blew his head off with his own sniper rifle and dismembered his corpse.”
Jonathan stared indifferently at the crippled hitman. “So, what do you think will happen to you?”
“I don’t know what will happen to me, but I’m certain the person in the other room is screwed!” Having heard those words, the man sneered, “Do you think I’m the only assassin who came today?”
“So, you weren’t targeting me?” Jonathan’s expression drastically changed.
He had assumed the Goldstein family sent the assassin to kill him, but he had not expected Sophia to be targeted, too.
For goodness’ sake, she’s Emmett’s biological daughter!
“You are one of the targets, along with the woman in the room!” The assassin scoffed, “So what if I have failed to kill you? As long as the lady in that room is dead, my mission is not considered a total failure!”
“D*mn you!” Suddenly, Jonathan’s expression turned murderous as he crushed the assassin’s spine with a stomp.
The loud crack of fracturing bone rang out. The assassin didn’t even have the chance to scream in agony before his head fell limp in a pool of blood.
After he dealt with the first hitman, Jonathan dashed to Sophia’s room.
Without even knocking, he kicked down her bedroom door.
