Chapter 534
Michenton Village, underground basement. The iron door was locked, and there were many fully armed assassins standing outside.Quincy was tied to a chair and could not move.“James, a-are you alright?”Her worried face was pale as she kept checking on James.James was bounded by ropes, and his leg was shot. Although he could control the blood flow in his body and prevent a hemorrhage, he was still bleeding a lot.Lying on the ground, he said, “I’m alright. I’m sorry I could only save Thea.”Between Quincy and Thea, he chose to save Thea.Thea had a miserable life. After being burned and disfigured, she endured the ridicule of others and lived in sorrow.He felt guilty toward Thea.Instead of giving Thea a happy life, he got her involved in this mess.He had no idea how long these days would last, nor did he know what would happen in the future.“I-I don’t blame you,” Quincy replied weakly.She took a deep breath. “I just didn’t expect you to hide it so well. Not only ar

“Oh?” Sitting on the ground, James could not help but look at the Black Snake.‘What is the Black Snake playing at?‘He wants me to be the boss of the Dark Castle?’“You want me to be the Dark Castle’s boss? Are you handing over the Dark Castle to me? Are you not afraid I’ll purge the Dark Castle after you hand it to me?”The Black Snake burst out laughing. “Haha, that won’t be a problem.” James also laughed. “Okay, I agree. Loosen the ropes.” The Black Snake motioned to his subordinates. Two men in black clothes and hoods approached and untied James.James stood up, moved around his limbs, and glanced at the Black Snack with a playful smile. “You really let me loose? You’re not afraid that I’ll suddenly attack you? You know my strength. You would not last three moves in my hands if I attacked you seriously.”The Black Snake smirked. “The entire Dark Castle belongs to you now, and I work under you. I’ve nothing to say if you want to kill me.”James was perplexed.In t

The Black Snake knew it would be difficult to rescue his boss. Although the Emperor had agreed, he could not completely trust the other party’s words.This was Cansington— it was a territory under Sol.The Emperor was the leader of the Five Commanders and was in charge of the army troops. As long as the Emperor surrounded this place, not only would he be unable to save Blake, but he would also die here.He thought about it and realized he would have a better chance if he cooperated with James instead of using his life to threaten the Emperor.James fell into thought while smoking a cigarette.He did not know Blake but knew what kind of organization the Dark Castle was. This was an assassination organization. The hands of the people in the Dark Castle were covered in blood, and the Black Snake was definitely not a good person.The reason he lured the Black Snake to Cansington was to recruit some strong people to work for him.James looked at the Black Snake. “How do you want to c

“Wait.”James turned around and walked toward the village.Soon, he returned there.“Haha, Black Dragon, I knew you would cooperate with me.”Seeing James coming back, the Black Snake walked over, opened his arms, and wanted to hug James.“Get lost.”James lifted his foot and kicked him.He had injuries on his leg and could not help but grit his teeth in pain when he lifted it.The Black Snake took a few steps backward and dodged.“Prepare a car for me,” said James.The Black Snake took out a bunch of keys and threw them to James. Then, he said, “The car is at the village entrance.”James took the keys and left.When he returned, Quincy had already come back to the village entrance. However, many armed men were guarding the place, so she did not dare enter.She was unaware of what James was doing inside the village, so she could only pace around the village entrance anxiously.“James…”Seeing James returning, Quincy rushed over happily and threw herself into his arms.J

James glanced at the time. It was midnight.He pondered for a moment and instructed, “I will need some stuff. Get me a pen and paper so I can write it down. Quickly prepare them for me.”Black Snake immediately ordered, “Prepare pen and paper.”Soon, someone brought a pen and paper.James wrote down the materials he needed to make the human mask and some medicinal materials.Seeing the list James’ wrote, the Black Snake frowned and asked, “What do you need medicinal materials for?”“There’s no need for you to ask about it. Just prepare it as soon as possible. Our time is running out.”The Black Snake immediately made arrangements.On the other hand, James closed his eyes to rest.The Black Snake prepared the things quickly.In less than an hour, everything James needed had arrived.James started to make the human mask. Afterward, he started to fiddle around with the medicinal materials and worked until four in the morning. There were only two more hours before dawn.James w

James spoke word by word.“What are you trying to say?”“Stop beating around the bush.”“Get straight to the point. Say what you have to say.”The assassins were impatient. James smiled lightly. “Actually, what I want to say is very simple. I can give you money if that’s what you want. I can also give you an ordinary life if that’s what you seek. As long as you put down your bloody knives and quit being assassins, submit to me, follow me, and serve me. Then, everything you wish for will be yours. The most important thing is you will survive.”James stated his purpose.“Think about it yourselves. By the way, I must remind you that there are only two more hours until dawn. Time is running out.”After James finished speaking, he stood up and walked back into the house.Outside the house.The group of assassins went silent.What James had said made sense.They were good at assassinations but faced with an army, they had zero chance of winning.James entered the room, leaned o

In the village, another house.The Black Snake sat on the sofa, slammed his hands on the table, and gently rubbed his temples.Standing beside him was a subordinate.“Black Snake, the Black Dragon has recruited several of the assassins we hired.”Hearing the subordinate’s report, the Black Snake had a darkened expression.The Black Dragon was indeed terrifying. These assassins were ranked at the top of the assassin leaderboard. Each of them was incredibly strong. It was impossible to gather all of them if not for the offer of ten billion dollars.James’ means were extraordinary for him to recruit them easily.“Let them be.”The Black Snake waved his hands.He did not care who James recruited as long as he could save Blake.Black Snake was the Dark Castle’s founder.It had been almost 30 years since the Dark Castle was established.Over the past 30 years, Blake had accumulated a great amount of wealth. His assets were enough to rival a country. However, with his arrest, this

At the same time, several kilometers away from the village.There was another house.The Black Snake had already arrived before dawn.At this moment, the Black Snake’s phone rang.He answered the phone.“Black Snake, I’ve already sent Blake to the agreed village.”“Is there no one else?” asked Black Snake.“Don’t worry. There is no one else.”Black Snake hung up the phone.Then he made another phone call. “Head to the village to see.”After receiving the call, a Black Snake’s subordinate dragged the fake James out of the village. Then, he found a car parked outside the village with a strange man.Several of his subordinates stared at the fake James.“Where’s my boss?” The subordinate stepped forward, glanced at the other party, and asked.“Are you the Black Snake?”“Yes.”Hearing this, the middle-aged man opened the car door. In the back of the car sat a man with his head covered and limbs tied with chains.The man wore a prison uniform, and his appearance was covered
