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

The Black Snake did not dare to move with a gun against his head.Although he ranked second on the assassins' leaderboard, all the top assassins were present, and none were inferior to him in a duel.“What do you mean by this, Black Dragon? I have been honest with you and even gave you the Dark Castle, but you’re turning against me?” The Black Snake said with a sullen expression.James stood up and said calmly, “I don’t trust you. You’re hiding too much from me. Plus, you’re shrewd and scheming. From the moment you came to Cansington, you’ve been plotting against me and wanted to use me?”“Never.“I’m serious. I just want to save my boss. He saved my life. I would’ve died a long time ago if not for Blake. I would do anything to save him,” the Black Snake shouted.“Kill him.”James ordered.He turned around and immediately walked toward the door.At this moment, the Black Snake was frightened. He was ranked second on the assassin leaderboard. Since his debut, he had never bee

The Emperor saw the Black Dragon standing in front of the house through the mini camera and he roared, “D*mn it, Black Snake! How dare you play tricks on me?”“What should I do?” the man leading the team whispered.However, at this moment, another group of people rushed toward them from a distance. “Put down your weapons and get on the ground!”A loud shout resounded.The hundreds of people turned around and saw that they were surrounded by armed forces. Their expression changed immediately. These were the one thousand soldiers from the Black Dragon Army that James had brought from the Southern Plains.Last night, he contacted Ronald to bring the team to lurk and wait for movements.Ronald walked toward James and called, “James.”“Good job.”James nodded lightly.The Emperor watched the scene from a secret room in Cansington. He took a deep breath and forcibly calmed himself down. Then, he instructed, “This is the Black Dragon Army that James brought from the Southern Plains

James arrived in Cansington very soon. After arriving, he did not go home immediately. Instead, he brought the recruited assassins to the repair shop in the suburbs and to the headquarters of the underground intelligence network. Repair shop, secret underground basement.James sat on the sofa.The assassins he recruited stood aside. James’ gaze swept over them one by one. Number three on the assassin leaderboard, Little Sis. Number four on the assassin leaderboard, Wanderer. Number five on the assassin leaderboard, Midnight Wind.Number six on the assassin leaderboard, Savage.Number seven on the assassin leaderboard, Grim Reaper. Number nine on the assassin leaderboard, Scorpion.Number ten on the assassin leaderboard, Death Dance.Apart from the deceased Black Snake and the first on the assassin leaderboard, the Assassin King, James had recruited almost all of the top ten assassins.“Black Dragon, you promised to give us ten billion dollars.” The Wanderer ran

James ordered again, “Observe the Sovereign Antique Shop on Antique Street. See if there is any news about a box unearthed from the Prince of Orchid Mountain's ancient tomb from the Southern Plains. Notify me immediately if there is anything.”“Understood.”“By the way, check the backgrounds of those assassins. Bring their families to Cansington if possible. Also, buy them houses and find jobs for them. The assassins will be obedient if their families are in Cansington.”“Understood.”Ronald nodded.After James had made arrangements, he got up and left.After walking out of the repair shop, a jeep drove by, and the car’s window rolled down. The Blithe King showed his face and waved at James.James walked over, opened the door, and got in the car.The Blithe King took out a cigarette and handed it over. Then, he asked, “Did anything happen last night?”James took the cigarette and smiled. “Do you think I’ll still be here if something had happened?”“The Red Flame Army was disp
