Chapter 538


    James nced 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.” ck 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 ck 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 ck Snake immediately made arrangements.


    On the other hand, James closed his eyes to rest. The ck 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 walked out of the house.


    Outside, there were many assassins.


    None of the assassins slept because they knew that this night was very crucial for them. The vige


    was likely to be surrounded by the army, so they would have to be in their best forms.


    James walked out, and these assassins stared at him vigntly.


    He sat at the door and nced at the assassins outside the house. He smiled and said calmly,“ We’re


    on the same boat now. You don‘t need to be so nervous. Let‘s chat.”


    “We‘ve got nothing to say to you,” A twenty–seven or twenty–eight–year–old man replied. There was


    paint smudged on his face, so his exact appearance was not visible. When James was making the


    human mask, he had already called May and asked for some information about the top-ranked


    assassins. He nced at the man who replied, and through the way he was dressed, James


    recognized him


    His real name was unknown, and his codename was Midnight Wind. He was an SSS–ranked assassin,


    number five on the assassin leaderboard, and was incredibly strong.


    James nced at him and smiled, “Midnight Wind, ranked fifth on the assassin leaderboard.”


    “Hmph.” The Midnight Wind snorted coldly.


    James nced at the assassins and said with a smile, “Didn‘t you guys know thating to


    Cansington would be risky? The Blithe King currently resides in Cansington, and all five provinces have


    been blocked off. It was easy for you all toe in, but it‘s not going to be easy to leave. The ck


    Snake has already given up on you.”


    James said casually.


    “You might still be unaware that the ck Snake has no ns to take you all away. The purpose of his


    trip is not to kill me. His real purpose is to save his boss, ke. He has reached an agreement with the


    Emperor. The Emperor will bring ke in exchange for me and prepare a helicopter for the ck


    Snake to leave safely.”


    The assassins had serious expressions.


    There was no need for James to tell them. They were well aware of the situation.


    Property belongs to N?vel(D)r/ama.Org.


    For 10 billion dors, it was worth the risk,


    As long as they found a way to leave Cansington at dawn, they will receive the 10 billion dors. They


    could retire after getting this 10 billion.


    Everyone present had the same idea.


    A young girl nced at James and said, “You won‘t be living either if we die.”


    The girl looked about seventeen or eighteen years old. She was wearing a school uniform and had long


    ck hair. She had a very innocent appearance, and one would never associate her with assassins.


    However, she was not as ordinary as she looked. From the information May provided, James knew she


    was also an SSS–ranked assassin, ranked third on the assassin leaderboard. Her nickname was Little


    Sis.


    Her young and middle school student appearance was her disguise.


    She was a ruthless assassin that would not bat an eye when killing.


    James nced at her and said with a smile, “You‘re wrong about that. The ck Snake didn‘t trust the


    Emperor and decided to cooperate with me. As long as the ck Snake doesn‘t kill me, I‘ll definitely be


    leaving alive. Plus, the ck Snake knows he can‘t kill me. That‘s why he


    chose to work with me.”


    “ck Dragon, why are you telling us this?” An older man asked.


    The older man was the one who tied himself up at Mount Five Valley. He ranked fourth on the assassin


    leaderboard. His real name was unknown, and his nickname was Wanderer.


    ording to the information given by May, the older man was a lustful person and spent all his money


    on women.


    James took out a cigarette, lit it, and smoked quietly. All eyes were on him, waiting for him to speak.


    After a long time, James parted his lips and said, “Let‘s talk about life. What‘s the reason you became


    assassins?”


    Hearing this, everyone nced at James doubtfully. They were unsure of what James was trying to


    achieve “How about I answer it for you? You all willingly go through death and life situations for money.


    I believe many of you have family members, and you want to make money to give your families a better


    life. Your n is to earn enough money and retire to live an ordinary life,”.. said James.


    The crowd was silent.


    James was right.


    Everyone was walking a dangerous path just to make money.


    “The ck Snake promised to give each of you ten billion dors. I trust he will not break his promise


    because the Dark Castle isn‘t short on money. However, you won‘t live to im this money. As soon as


    the sun rises, it‘ll be the death of all of you,” said James. “Do you think you can really break out of the


    army‘s encirclement?


    “Assassinations and duels are your specialties. “However, you have no chance of s?rviving against an


    army.”
