Chapter 293 Trying To Flee
“That’s right!” Nodding, Jonathan elaborated, “There was an assassin outside the door just now. Also, there’s a sniper in the opposite building. Their aim is to silence both of us!”
“There was a killer at the door, too?” Sophia panicked at his words. “Wh-What happened to him?”
“He’s dead,” Jonathan said indifferently.
“Dead?” she repeated numbly.
“Yup.” He nodded.
“D-Did you k-kill him?” she stammered. She grew up in a sheltered environment as a child and had never experienced such a situation before.
“That’s right!”
Jonathan continued to explain with a nod. “Technically, it was self-defense instead of murder. He tried to kill me but ended up being killed.”
“In that case, what will happen when the police arrive?” As an ordinary citizen, Sophia was concerned about Jonathan and how they were going to explain it to the authority.
“They won’t be coming,” he said flatly. “You don’t have to worry about it because he’s nothing more than an assassin. Over the years, I have killed a lot of people. If the police really wanted to arrest me, they would have done so a long time ago.”
“H-How many people have you killed?” Sophia gulped.
“Have you forgotten that I was under Asura’s command during the war? How could I have avoided killing anyone, especially on the battlefield?” After glancing at her, Jonathan sat by her bed. “All right, now isn’t the time for that. It’s no longer safe for you here. Pack your things. We’re heading to the hotel.”
“What are we going to the hotel for?” She still couldn’t grasp the reality of the situation.
Evidently, she was still in shock.
“You can’t live here anymore. If I’m not wrong, they have posted your picture and address on the Dark Web. If you don’t move someplace else, the other assassins will hunt you down! As long as you’re still alive, the hit on you will continue to be valid!”
That was the rule of the Dark Web. It would remain an open contract for all the hitmen.
In other words, the mission would end only after the target was eliminated.
Although Jonathan had never visited the Dark Web before, he had a general understanding of how they functioned.
“Then wait for me while I pack.” Just as she spoke, Sophia got up without thinking. However, the moment she did, her blanket slipped off to reveal her flawless white skin in front of her nephew.
“Ahhh!” she screamed in fright and quickly covered her chest with her arms.
Blushing like a tomato, she yelled at Jonathan, “You snob, get out right now!”
“Fine. There’s no need to shield yourself. Haven’t I seen you naked when we were kids?” He threw her words back at her.
Suddenly outraged by his words, Sophia kicked him on the butt.
“Get out of my room!” she snapped with gritted teeth.
Looks like he has grown a lot more brazen to the extent of talking back at me!
“I’ll wait for you outside.” Jonathan strode out of her room and lit a cigarette in front of the bay window.
Staring at the numerous skyscrapers outside, he knitted his brows.
