New Updates?
Jack's heart suddenly dropped to the lowest point.
Looking at Mr. Ward's reaction, this update cannot be anything good.
Jack tried to be calm as he asked, "What kind of update?"
Mr. Ward looked scared, he panted and took out his cell phone, handed it with trembling hands to Jack.
Just like the last time, it was a simple picture.
Every dark net content was easy to be seen.
Jack knitted his brows as he found the one that was about his assassination, published by the Assassin Squad.
When he read it, he frowned even more.
In the content, a sickle was added, like the one death carried.
"What does this sickle mean?" Jack asked frowning.
Mr. Ward's eyes flashed with fear, "This is the sickle of death, it means that he takes lives, usually as soon as the assassinations of the Assassin Squad add the sickle, it means that this had been followed by the top assassins, one sickle stands for one top assassin."
Jack's pupils narrowed.
He suddenly understood why Mr. Ward was usually as cool as a cucumber.
If a top assassin had been following this announcement, does that mean that one has already taken it on?
One billion dollars!
This could even draw the Deadpool Mercenary to risk danger in desperation.
Would a assassin not be tempted?
Suddenly, Jack felt a cool air in his neck, his body turned numb.
His forehead was covered in wrinkles as he asked in a low voice, "Mr. Ward, what is this Azrael List?"
"All the assassins from all over the world would gather together and be graded by the Assassin Squad, they would list the top assassins, there are about a hundred of them."
Mr. Ward's voice was trembling, "To be voted into this list, the person has to be a top killer, he has to take lives like the Azrael."
Jack was speechless.
He remembered that Brent used to be an assassin, he had done this before.
He asked, "Is Brent on the list?"
"He used to be, but after Brent started working for Master Hughes, he changed his name. Then his name was taken off, and he was never part of it again."
"So when he assassinated the Rothschild family, which place did he take?"
Mr. Ward thought for a while, then he said, "On 23rd, the other two were 58th and 31st."
"Hiss!"
Jack's eyes were serious, and he sucked in some cold air.
Three assassins killed the Rothschild family, all three of them were on the Azrael List, and Brent was the best out of them.
With the surprise that Jack felt, he also felt cold sweat running down his back.
He knew what Brent was able to do, and yet he was only on place 23, how good do the other ones on the list have to be that were above him?
And the point was also, the Rothschild family was a gigantic rich family of long standing.
From what Brent and Mr. Ward said, Jack had a restricted view of things, he knew that Rothschild did everything in his power to protect his clansman, the protection and security wasn't less than what he had now.
And yet, Brent and the other two assassins marched right in and stormed the target successfully.
What if the assassins that were following his mission were on an even higher rank?
There were many assassins that were higher up than Brent, if they really took this mission...
Jack suddenly felt a kind of horror as if he was held by a big beast.
And this horror was only getting worse.
A beast was much worse than a group of hyenas.
"Is there any way to find out who the assassin on the Azrael List is? And on which rank he is?" Jack asked in a low voice.
Only if he knew the other party, he could remain invincible.
If he only knew that one of the Azrael List assassins was interested in his mission, then it only meant that he would be waiting for the sickle in the darkness.
"This is what Master Hughes just told me, he is still looking into it."
Mr. Ward said, "It won't be hard for Master Hughes to find out, but it will take some time, it should be soon though."
Jack raised his brow, "Why didn't he tell me himself?"
Mr. Ward said detected, "He just doesn't want to put more pressure on you, so he asked me to give you the message, it might be better this way."
