Horton was a 2S-class transhuman himself too. As the senior bodyguard in charge of Marissa’s safety this time and also the most powerful person on the team, he was well aware of how powerful and destructive a 2S-class transhuman was!If it was just a 2S-class transhuman assassin, he still had the confidence that he would be able to protect Marissa. However, there were two of them. Moreover, they were the renowned Satan and the Scarlet Witch in the world of assassins. They were absolute powerhouses, and Horton would not be able to deal with both of them alone!At this very moment, he could feel his scalp starting to turn numb from fear. He was panicking. On the other hand, standing behind him, Marissa was startled as well. It was apparent that she had heard about the great names of these two assassins. Blood drained from her face instantly as she said fearfully, “Horton, what should we do now?”Horton swallowed two gulps of saliva heavily then said, “We’re on Rheasia territory, so
Next, she took the initiative to step forward and said to Satan and the Scarlet Witch, “Y-you wish to kill me because of money. Free me and I’ll pay you three times the offered bounty!”The Scarlet Witch said with a ghastly expression, “Marissa, it seems that you don’t understand our profession as assassins. Even if you can pay us ten fold of the offered price, we won’t abandon the mission. My advice to you is to kneel down obediently and await our trial.”Satan laughed maniacally and added, “Or you may run and see how far you can flee from us, he-he-he…”Sensing their murderous intent, Marissa paled in fear and completely panicked. She had never felt so much fear in her life, and she regretted her choice very much now. She should have listened to the Rheasian special agent’s warning yesterday!Horton clenched his teeth and said, “Miss Marissa, don’t waste any more time. Run quickly and I shall strive to buy you more time!”Next, he said to two burly bodyguards, “George, Weston, e
Horton was punched by The Fool a few times to the extent that he lost his ability to fight. The Fool lifted him up in the air like he was a puny chick, and he was in a very disheveled state. Terrified, his entire body was shuddering in fear. He had lost his prior confidence and arrogance. He was already completely withered by now and was filled with fear of death!In fact, he even began to beg for forgiveness arduously, “Fool, oh, Fool! Please free me, and I promise that I won’t ever go against you anymore. I’m willing to be your subordinate, sir!”He shouted very loudly for The Fool to pardon him. Marissa was so furious to see how pitiful the cowardly Horton was begging for forgiveness that she almost fainted. She had never expected that Horton, who was usually so heroic, brave, and overbearing on usual days, would actually cravenly cling to life. She was very disappointed in him and found him shameless!She used to trust Horton so much, even spending such a large amount of money
They looked into each other’s eyes and could see the unwillingness in each other’s eyes, yet they faced death calmly in the face. As members of the Insurgent Trifecta, they represented the entire Rheasia. From the moment they joined the Insurgent Trifecta, they took their vows solemnly by pledging to be soldiers of the Insurgent Trifecta when they were alive and the ghosts of the trifecta in death, and they would abide by the order of the Insurgent Trifecta for the rest of their lives. This was their responsibility and also their mission. Their only regret was that they were not sacrificing themselves for the country but for the daughter of a wealthy tycoon in Eurosia…“I, Hank Stone...!”“I, Grant Yates...!”Both of them shouted aloud simultaneously, “...have no regrets in our lives for joining the Insurgent Trifecta. We will be the souls of the Insurgent Trifecta in this life, and we’ll still be members of the Insurgent Trifecta in our next lives!”Upon shouting that, they burs
Zayn finally arrived. He did not drive here but had come running over wildly. The journey would have taken an hour by car, but he only spent ten minutes running wildly with his legs so that he could rush here in time. What a waste that he was still too late though. He witnessed Hank and Grant sacrificing themselves with his own eyes earlier and even heard their speech. Their pledge of being the souls of the Insurgent Trifecta in the afterlife and members of the Insurgent Trifecta in their next lives pierced his heart deeply and moved him!He felt the meaning and weight of the words ‘the Insurgent Trifecta’ for the very first time!He exerted himself to move at the fastest speed without considering the rapid exhaustion of his physical strength. He traveled close to the speed of sound in the end and charged over by constantly tearing the air apart. Alas, he still did not manage to save Hank and Grant in time!The human body was so large that traveling close to the speed of sound w
In the next moment, a gush of presence that was so powerful it could topple the mountains and overturn the seas burst forth from his body. His energy was so strong that it spread toward the surroundings like solid matter. Everyone could feel it, and they could not help taking two steps back. All at once, Satan and the Scarlet Witch had the most obvious reaction out of everyone. Their expressions changed drastically and they let out panicked screams. “This feels like a 4S-class transhuman!”“Oh, God, the Rheasian special agent is a 4S-class powerhouse!”At a nearby area, The Fool was instantly stunned after sensing Zayn’s presence. In the next moment, Zayn cast his gaze toward The Fool. It only took him a glance before The Fool felt like his brain had erupted with a loud boom while a monstrous wave was stirred in his mind!There was only one thought left in his consciousness: ‘A 4S-class super powerhouse is an extremely rare being even across the entire universe!’The rest of the
Run! Run! Run!He exerted all his strength to escape!No one else could have experienced the shock and terror that The Fool felt at this very moment!He had already prepared himself for the assassination mission this time and ensured that nothing could go wrong. Even if there was a 3S-class transhuman, he could guarantee that he could complete the mission and capture Marissa alive. Alas, he never expected that the person assigned to the mission would actually be a 4S-class super powerhouse!Oh, bugger! The Fool could not make peace with that. How did this happen? It was a trivial matter that he could not complete the mission, but it would be catastrophic if he were to lose his life here accidentally. It had been very hard for him to train himself to become a 3S-class transhuman, after all. While he was filled with regret at this very moment, he felt even more terrified and confused. The Insurgent Trifecta was just an abject organization in Rheasia, and many of their transhumans h
Marissa was thoroughly stunned. She had never imagined that events would take such a turn.The rest of the assassins recovered soon enough, though they were still too panicked to make any sudden moves. All they could do was exchange glances with one another as they stomached the air gelled in awkwardness.All of her bodyguards were gone. Marissa was alone, as vulnerable as a lamb off to the slaughterhouse. She had no way of defending herself, and if any of them wanted, they could kidnap Marissa right then and there!Though, something was stopping them. The Fool, the brightest and boldest out of all of them, had been rendered defenseless. He was forced to flee after going up against that Rheasian agent—what other choice did they really have?The rest of the assassins were confused and worried. They shot each other worried looks before they broke into discussion. They wondered if they should back off or fight for a narrow, but hefty profit. Some decided to flee, others wanted to try
