After he found the killer, Darian reported to Theo. “Hey, bro. I’ve found a killer on the A-list. He never missed anyone with an experience of more than a thousand missions. He’s experienced but costly,” said Darian with a fading voice.
“How much?” asked Theo calmly.
“Five million and five hundred thousand dollars. But he will keep it to himself. If he doesn’t make it, he won’t let the cat out of the bag even at the cost of his life,” said Darian.
Theo was also worried that if the killer failed and got caught, it would be a disaster to them once the killer told the truth that they were indeed involved in it. For the sake of controlling the Griffith’s, he had no time for other issues.
“That’s it. Just make sure he keeps it to himself,” said Theo clenching his teeth.
“Got it.” Darian started to contact the killer and sent him the photo of Samuel.
When the killer received the mission, he came to Theo’s house without delay.
Theo thought someone was visiting him. When he found nobody outside, he poked his head out subconsciously. Suddenly someone came off the roof like a black shadow and placed a knife on his neck, which terrified Theo and made him stand still. He found a tattoo of the number “13” on the killer’s face. He thought it was some uninvited guest so he asked in horror, “Who are you? Why are you here?”
The killer didn’t reply but asked, “Didn’t you invite me over?”
“Oh, it’s you. You must be killer no.13, right?” It suddenly occurred to him that this man was the killer hired by him when he saw the tattoo of the number “13” on the killer’s face.
This killer ranked thirteenth on the Killer List on which the first 100 were all skilled master-hands. The killer must have got something up his sleeve to ranked the top 20.
“Then why don’t you carry it out today?” asked Theo in doubt.
The killer sneered, “I won’t do anything until I have the money.”
“Well, here’s the money.” Theo took out a bank card and handed it over to the killer hurriedly. He was surprised by how serious the killer was.
After taking the bank card, Theo took out a pos machine and uttered the most scaring words calmly, “If there’s nothing in there, you will be so sorry for it.”
Theo felt a chill down his spine and broke out in a cold sweat. He would have been so dead if it had been short of a penny.
