The Legendary Man novel Chapter 538

Chapter 538 Load Their Weapons

Jonathan walked right past the five and went straight to Xiara. “Are you okay?” he asked while pulling her to her feet. Xiara retrieved a tiny box of pills from her pocket and popped a black-colored pill into her mouth.

Having recovered some of her strength after taking a few deep breaths, Xiara stared at Jonathan and asked with a conflicted look on her face, “What are you doing here?”

My friends whom I grew up with are trying to kill me, and the person who saves my life is the one I’m supposed to kill… Just how am I supposed to feel about this situation?

“Oh, I just like exercising early in the morning,” Jonathan replied while looking at the assassins he had frozen in place with his spiritual energy.

“I got a little confused when I overheard your conversation earlier. Are you really Xiara, who ranks ninth on the Heaven List?”

“I am.” Xiara picked up her dagger and stared at Agent 99 and the others as she continued, “And so are they. This is a secret of Heaven List. ‘Xiara’ is actually the codename of an organization.”

It was then Jonathan finally understood everything.

So, this is why Xiara told me she had killed over hundreds of targets despite only starting her career as an assassin three years ago. Those targets were no ordinary people, either. Each and every one of them held high positions in society. Some of them were so powerful that they could even affect the countries in the west!

To assassinate people like that would require tons of preparation beforehand, perfect execution of the plan, and tons of luck. Xiara killed at least two per month and an average of thirty per year. There’s no way she’d have the time to set up all those assassinations by herself. However, it would all make sense if Xiara is actually an organization instead of an individual. “So, should I call you ‘Xiara’ or ‘Agent 65’?”

“My name is Yasmin Zielinski,” Yasmin replied as she shoved the dagger into Agent 99’s heart.

“Are you planning on killing them all? We might be able to get some useful information out of them if we keep them alive,” Jonathan said with a frown.

“It’s pointless to interrogate them. Like me, they’ve all had their sense of pain removed. On Paradise Island, we were put through all sorts of training to resist interrogation. These people have all been brainwashed to a point where they believe dying for Paradise Island is incredibly honorable,” Yasmin explained while stabbing at another assassin’s heart.

Jonathan fell speechless after hearing what Yasmin said.

Man, Xiara sure is cruel! These aren’t assassins! They’re clearly humanoid weapons! Thank goodness they aren’t that many in numbers, though. If what Yasmin said is true, then only a hundred out of the three thousand members of Xiara have survived. Since they’re trained in the art of solo assassination, they are unable to make use of tactical formations and launch coordinated attacks like an army could. That fact alone makes them a lot less threatening.

Yasmin had killed four of the assassins, so Agent 98 was the only one remaining. “Xiara will come for you, Agent 65,” Agent 98 said while glaring at Yasmin with an indifferent expression.

It was as though she didn’t care if she was about to be killed. Yasmin shot Agent 98 a glance and asked, “You’re a crazy extremist, so your heart is probably connected to a Termination Bomb. Am I right?”

The look on Agent 98’s face changed instantly when she heard that.

“What? How did you know? I installed it after you left—”

Crack! Yasmin cut Agent 98 off by stabbing at her neck. As she pulled the dagger out, Agent 98’s body went limp and collapsed to the floor like a ragdoll. “You won’t get away with this, Agent 65! Xiara will kill you! You are a disgrace to Xiara—”

Crack! Yasmin silenced Agent 98 by stomping on her jaw, crushing it into pieces beneath her heel. She then picked Agent 98 up and carried her toward the observation deck.

“The Termination Bomb is capable of destroying most, if not all, life forms within a twenty-meter radius upon detonation. The user’s heart is what activates the bomb. It’ll activate the detonation sequence automatically when it is unable to detect a heartbeat. It’s the last resort for assassins like us. After all, most people will choose to interrogate assassins for information after capturing them,” Yasmin explained while tossing Agent 98 down the observation deck.
