Chapter 641

A new development?Austin's heart sank. Ezra's reaction made it clear that this wasn't good news.Trying to stay calm, Austin asked, "What's the change?"Panting and terrified, Ezra handed Austin his phone with a trembling hand.Just like before, the message was simple and direct. The dark web content was clearly visible.Austin frowned as he found the Shadow Web Syndicate's assassination order on himself.His brows furrowed even more deeply. The content now included an image of a scythe, similar to the one held by the Grim Reaper."What does this scythe mean?" Austin asked, his brow furrowed.Ezra's eyes flickered with fear."This is the Death Scythe, symbolizing the harvesting of lives. In the Shadow Web Syndicate's assassination orders, if a Death Scythe appears, it means that a top assassin from the Death List has taken an interest. Each scythe represents one top-tier assassin from the Death List."Austin's pupils contracted sharply.He suddenly understood why Ezra, usu

If they only knew that a Death List assassin was watching the mission, it would be like waiting in the dark for the Grim Reaper's scythe to fall."Mr. Campbell just told me this news. He's looking into it," Ezra said."It's not too difficult for him to find out, but it will take some time. We should have results soon."Austin raised an eyebrow. "Why didn't he tell me directly?"Ezra sighed. "Mr. Campbell didn't want to add to your stress, so he had me pass on the message. He thought it would be easier this way."Easier?Austin found it somewhat amusing.To him, it made no difference at all.Taking a deep breath, the fear in Austin's eyes suddenly vanished, replaced by a calm, almost serene demeanor."Let's eat."Ezra was momentarily stunned, his pupils contracting in surprise.Austin's composure was shocking.Ezra prided himself on his steady temperament thanks to years of experience and maturity, but even he had been shaken by the news.Austin was the target of this assas

Charon.In ancient mythology, Charon was the ferryman who carried the souls of the newly deceased across the river Styx.With a codename like that, it was clear this person had to be from their territory.Sure enough, Ezra nodded."Yes, she's from our region. And she's a woman, but extremely mysterious. Mr. Campbell used the Campbell family's intelligence network, along with the Clark family, Cooper family, Redmont family, and Reed family, but they couldn't find much about her."Austin wasn't surprised.The dark web was rife with bloodshed and shadows.The Shadow Web Syndicate listed countless assassins, with the top 100 on the Death List being the most notorious. These individuals were ruthless killers in the dark web.But in everyday life, they blended in as ordinary people.Few would want their identities as top assassins to be public knowledge."Do you think she'll come for me?" Austin asked, his heart pounding.The Death List ranked the top 100 assassins, and anyone who

Cecily replied quickly."Alright, I believe you. Handle your business well, and I won't disturb you. Also, remember to miss me. I'm already missing you (heart). Good night."Austin chuckled softly, typing back, "Good night."Setting down his phone, he leaned back in his chair, hands behind his head.Just a few texts had eased his tension. With Cecily's comfort and encouragement, even the biggest problems seem smaller.Austin yawned as he stood up, ready to head to the bathroom for a shower before bed.But as he stood, a cool breeze suddenly blew into the room.It was already autumn, and the wind at this time of night carried a chill.Austin turned to close the window, but as he approached it, he heard a sharp whistling sound.His expression tightened, and in an instant, his scalp tingled with a strong sense of impending danger.Almost instinctively, he moved to the side, pressing against the wall by the window.At the same moment, a gleaming arrow whizzed past him like a lig

The night was cool as water. The moon was mostly hidden behind clouds.Through the bamboo grove, Austin could just make out the overhanging rock in the distance.But what was on it, Austin couldn't see clearly."Are you still there?" Austin muttered to himself, his expression complicated.Charon could have easily killed him with that arrow, but she had sent a message instead. This displayed her supreme confidence in her assassination skills.The message on the note essentially said that even if the rear cliff was guarded, Charon could still kill him. The only difference would be the increased difficulty.It was as if she was saying that only a heavily fortified target was worthy of her top-tier assassin skills.That arrow just now was pure luck.But Austin felt no relief, only a strong sense of defeat.He hated feeling this way, which is why he had opened the window.As soon as he spoke, he heard it again.Whoosh!A faint whistling sound in the darkness.Austin felt someth

Austin's pupils gradually contracted before returning to normal. His right hand was secretly clenched into a fist before relaxing again.He asked, "How's my dad's investigation into Grandma?"Ezra shook his head. "Not clear yet, but based on some initial information from contacts back home, it seems this may not be related to Mrs. Campbell Senior.""Not related?" Austin asked, surprised.Ezra explained, "Mrs. Campbell Senior recently moved into a church, reciting prayers and living a vegetarian lifestyle to calm her mind. She hasn't been in contact with anyone, and her closest associates didn't join her in the church. It's as if she's completely isolated from the world.”Austin rubbed his nose, his expression deepening. "If it's not her, then who could be guiding this assassination?""The Emersons? The Redmont family? Or perhaps some other enemies you might have?" Ezra suggested tentatively.Austin shook his head. "The Emersons are too foolish to pull this off, and the Redmont f

"It's not Charon!" Wolf said in a low voice.Austin and Ezra's expressions tightened immediately. They didn't linger and promptly left the bedroom.Austin's room faced the cliff, making it the best position for an assassin standing on the rock outcrop.Once they settled in the living room, Wolf turned and left, taking the bodyguard team to the back mountain cliff.Austin and Ezra exchanged looks."Mr. Lockwood, would the average assassin think of that rock outcrop?" Austin asked, frowning."In one week, we've had 18 assassination attempts, and not one happened from that rock outcrop," Ezra said, shaking his head, a peculiar glint of pride in his eyes.Even if a regular assassin thought of it, they wouldn't have the guts to slide down from the mountain to that rock."Austin was silent.Indeed, the rock outcrop directly faced his bedroom, making it the optimal spot for an assassination. But the outcrop was over 30 feet from the ground below and also over 30 feet from the top.I

"She's here!"Austin spoke in a low voice, releasing Ezra, "Mr. Lockwood, go to your room, shut the door, and don't come out. She's here for me, she won't harm you without reason."That night's urgent message had given him some insight into Charon's character.This woman was incredibly arrogant!As long as Ezra stayed in his room, Charon wouldn't lay a finger on him."Sir, I..." Ezra's face tightened, about to protest."I'm your master. Go back to your room!" Austin's stern command forced Ezra to swallow his words.He shot a glance at Ezra retreating to his room before gathering his thoughts, narrowing his eyes, and focusing on the courtyard outside the main hall.The arrow had come through the front door, so the shooter should be in that direction.Was this a diversion?The courtyard was dimly lit, making it hard to see beyond it.Even the security devices that Wolf and the bodyguard team had set up in the courtyard hadn't given any warning.Outside, the gunfire was relent

A sharp glint flashed in Austin's eyes as he stared in shock at the large door to his right.The door to the Bamboo Parlor was an old-fashioned, double-panel wooden door. Yet somehow, a line had been carved into it at some point.This was the highest-level residence in the Tetra Club, meticulously maintained, and it was impossible for any carvings to appear on the door.The content was: Death List No. 18, Gerard Lindsey.On closer inspection, Austin felt that the handwriting seemed familiar.Suddenly, his mind exploded with realization. Charon!Was this the handwriting Charon had just carved outside the door?"Sir, we need to move now!" Seeing Austin in a daze, the bodyguard beside him tugged at him.Austin snapped back to reality and quickly followed the bodyguard out of the courtyard, running toward the other side of the bamboo grove. But his mind was already a raging sea of thoughts and emotions.Death List No. 18, Gerard Lindsey. No wonder Wolf and the others couldn't stop

The remaining three bodyguards stepped back, tightly surrounding Austin in the center."Come back!" Austin shouted.He had already glimpsed the prowess of top assassins from the Death List through Aldus and Charon and knew how dangerous they were.Moreover, the figure before them was ranked 18th on the Death List.Walter's bodyguard team, though elite and highly skilled, was still no match for a top-tier assassin from the Death List.But…Bang!The four bodyguards opened fire simultaneously. Bullets streaked through the air, hitting the dark figure in the bamboo grove with precision."We hit him!" The four bodyguards rejoiced, excitement evident on their faces."It's not possible, it can't be that easy! Get back here!" Austin's scalp tingled, and every hair on his body stood on end as he roared with all his strength.But at that moment, the leading bodyguard suddenly halted, his face changing drastically as he cried out."It's not a person, it's a paper figure!"Almost simu
