With just one punch, the assassin’s face became twisted under his mask. The extremely chilling inner force flowed into his organs as if it was an avalanche.In that very second, he felt as if all his organs were frozen and goosebumps spread all over his body as his legs went weak.“What is this? This isn’t real!”The assassin was so shocked that he yelled out loud. They had investigated thoroughly before the operation. Brittany had just recovered from a coma a month ago so she most definitely shouldn’t have any sort of martial arts training. She should just be a normal woman.However, all he wanted to do now was scream.‘You damn b*tch! You deceived all of us!’The assassin couldn’t defend himself at all. It all happened too quickly. His body was sent flying by the punch, as he spurted blood mid-air.To his horror, he realized that his core was destroyed.The other assassin was in charge of attacking Waltz.This assassin was known for using daggers. He swung one towards Waltz
Brittany was screaming in panic.Holly rushed over and checked. There was a small wound on Waltz’s shoulder.When Waltz was dodging an attack, she had been scraped by the dagger.Her wound had turned black.“She’s been poisoned! And it’s a very strong one too!” Holly immediately poked on a few of Waltz’s pressure points to slow down the spread of the poison.Picking up the dagger, Holly noticed that it was glistening with blue light. There was a very distinct smell on it as well. She was sure that this dagger had been dipped in poison.“You goddamn bastard! Where’s the cure? Give it to us!” Holly glared at the assassin who hurt Waltz.“Heh, my poison has no cure.” The assassin chuckled coldly.Holly flipped the dagger and swung it towards the assassin, stabbing him on the chest. The wound was merely two inches away from his heart.“Since there’s no cure, then die.”Unexpectedly, the assassin smiled as he looked at Waltz. “To us assassins, failing a mission is no different fro
“How is she? How’s Waltz? Can you save her?” Brittany asked, still panicking.This snapped Alex back to reality.He rushed up and placed his hand on her chest, inserting a large amount of the special Chi that he formed from the Ultimate Book of Medicine. His highest priority was to prevent Waltz’s heart from failing.“Why was she poisoned? What poison was it?” Alex asked as he continued to prolong Waltz’s life.Brittany replied, “Three assassins ambushed us just a while ago. One of them scraped Waltz’s shoulder with a poisoned dagger.”Upon listening to this, Alex’s blood boiled, a ball of hellfire kept growing within his chest.Those assassins will have to pay for what they did, along with the mastermind behind this regardless of Waltz’s fate.Holly rushed out to bring the dagger to Alex.“Brother, this was the poisoned dagger!”Alex took a look at it and sniffed it.“This is a mixture of various snake poisons.” His expression turned as cold as ice.‘This assassin really
“The Blood Cleansing Talisman!”If there wasn’t a cure for a poison at the moment, the Blood Cleansing Talisman could remove the poison from the bloodstream.However, this talisman was fairly harmful to the operator.This required the operator's blood to help detoxify the patient. Not only would it take up a lot of energy, it would shorten their lifespan as well.“F*ck it! So what if it shortens your lifespan! As long as Waltz can be saved, I’m willing to shorten my lifespan by half!”He took a look at the procedures for the talisman.Alex took all of Waltz’s clothes off and took action immediately, He concentrated his Chi and formed it into a knife, slicing his wrists. Blood gushed out of his wounds abundantly.Using his blood, he drew the talisman onto both his and Waltz’s bodies.He then sliced a small wound into Waltz’s chest and poured his blood into the wound.More blood flowed out of his wrists.It was like a miracle, Waltz’s chest wound was consuming all of Alex’s b
John was getting slightly impatient from all this waiting. He had ordered them to bring them over, dead or alive.It had been two to three hours since he gave out his orders to the assassins, yet they haven’t reported back to him at all.This made him extremely restless. He couldn’t sleep even after laying down on his bed, though he could feel his eyelids twitching, as if something big was about to happen.“Cooper, what’s the meaning of this? Have the assassins you hired executed the operation yet? Is Brittany dead or alive?” John called for his bodyguard, Cooper. He was obviously in panic and frustration.Cooper replied, “Mr. Rockefeller, please be patient. These famous assassins are known to be mysterious, but they’re definitely skilled in their field. Their phones had been turned off ever since the operation started. They will contact me as soon as they’re done.”John was worried. “Could they have been killed because they bumped into that bastard, Alex?”Cooper smiled. “That’s
Similar incidents were happening throughout Rockefeller Manor.Carol, who was taking a nice bath, decided to come out of the bathtub as soon as the lights went out. However, she heard light footsteps in the darkness.Then, she felt a stinging pain in the back of her head and lost consciousness.Noah and Mariah were knocked out when they were having an intimate moment.All the maids and caretakers lost consciousness without realizing it as well.“Why would the power go out?”“Could someone be… behind this?” John started panicking.He was genuinely terrified of Alex.This was why he wanted the operation to go smoothly and kill them off right there and then. If they weren’t able to succeed, this would potentially expose him as the mastermind. He wouldn’t be able to rest if that happened.However, in just seconds, the power came back.“Maybe the breaker tripped!” Cooper smiled. “Don’t worry, Mr. Rockefeller. It’ll be fine, really. This operation is sure to succeed! Assassins us
“What? This…” Cooper and John’s face went pale as soon as they recognized the corpses.They were all John’s private bodyguards.He was worried that someone might try to assassinate him, so he had hired these skilled fighters with large sums of money. Some were underground fighters; some had learned ancient martial arts; while others had been in the military. All of them could fight off large groups of people alone.Despite this,they were now dead, killed by this young girl as if she was just butchering livestock.She was none other than Holly Yates.She stood at the door with a cheeky smile, arms folded behind her back. She looked as if she wouldn’t hurt a fly, but the two saw her as a wolf in sheep’s clothing.“John, I’ve already given you a second chance. I told you that I’d defeat you in business, and I promised that I wouldn’t use any other methods to get my way.” Brittany said. “Yet here you are, not appreciating the chance I gave you and choosing to hire assassins to kill
The dagger penetrated Cooper’s lower back. But he couldn’t care less about the pain as he sped up and dashed towards the left window, hoping to escape.To his demise, Waltz was much faster than him. She had reached Mystic Rank after all.As soon as Cooper reached the window, Waltz grabbed him by his neck from behind and dragged him back in. However, Waltz was still getting used to her newfound strength. She unintentionally broke Cooper’s neck and spine.With a loud thud, Cooper fell to the ground harshly, unable to move a muscle anymore.As he hadn’t died yet, he was flooded with sheer terror.He screamed and shouted. “No! I don’t want to die! I don't want to die…”Even so, he felt his vision getting darker by the second. This continued until he was nothing more but an empty husk.After witnessing how Cooper died, along with the large pile of corpses around him, John was so scared that he felt as if he was going to wet his pants.He just thought that he was just a rich man spen
