The Legendary Man novel Chapter 484

Chapter 484 Reward

Xiara froze when she heard Jonathan’s words. When the ruffians dragged her into the alley before that, it was to lure Jonathan in so that he could be killed.

However, Xiara immediately knew her plan had backfired when she saw Jonathan walking away without turning back. From her outfit to her facial expressions, Xiara kept trying to figure out what she had done wrong. After all, as an assassin, it was extremely dangerous to have her identity exposed before she could assassinate someone.

That was why she followed Jonathan for that long. She wanted Jonathan to reveal her mistakes so that she could reflect on them.

However, she didn’t expect Jonathan to say her name out loud.

After all, assassins were meant to live in the dark their whole lives.

As predators, they would find their targets from all around the world and get rewarded by carrying out assassinations.

It was because of this that assassins were bound to have a lot of enemies.

Quite a lot of the parties who had been targeted would then pay a third party to kill the assassins in return.

Hence, assassins had to be constantly looking over their shoulders because not only could they be killed when they were hunting, but they could also become prey themselves.

That was why it was said that once a professional assassin got exposed, they were as good as dead.

The moment Jonathan called her out, Xiara slipped a pistol from her sleeve down into her hand.

“If I were you, I wouldn’t put too much hope in that pistol of yours,” Jonathan uttered coldly. “Besides, I promise you that the moment you point that thing at me, you’ll die before me. If you don’t believe me, try it.”

The smile on Xiara’s face froze. How? My pistol was under my sleeve this whole time. It’s like Jonathan can predict my moves! This ability of his reminds me of the top assassin on Heaven List, GOD! That guy could predict all the moves his counterpart made!

Xiara could only stare at Jonathan in puzzlement.

“I don’t get it. Three years ago, Punisher, ranked third on Heaven List, came to kill me. I sent him to prison, and he had only gotten out a few days ago. Also, a few days ago, Scorpio, ranked tenth on Heaven List, had also tried and failed. Now, I shouldn’t be on the bounty list anymore, right? Why would you risk your life to assassinate me? Are you sick of living?”

Right then, they arrived at a long bench by the side of the road. Xiara whipped out her pistol and put it on the bench. With a sigh, she sat down. “Well, I’m sure it’s better to live than to die. Why would anyone be sick of living?”

Xiara curled up on the bench, hugged her legs, and leaned her head on her knees. “Although I don’t know Punisher and Scorpio personally, I think it’s rather easy to know their personalities by looking at their assassinations. Punisher never shied away from creating a loud bang with his assassinations. There was once, he blew up a fifty-two-story tall building just to kill a member of a prominent banking family. Obviously, it was a crazy act in the eyes of the public. At the same time, it was quite talked about among the assassins as well. That guy was a brute, and he would often act on his emotions instead of knowledge. I wasn’t surprised when you caught him. Prior to this, I even thought you’ve killed him. As for Scorpio, he was a coward. He would only kill his targets with a sniper from afar, and he never dared to fight someone face-to-face. Frankly, I’m ashamed because I’m on Heaven List with him.”
