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 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 village
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 vigilantly.
He sat at the door and glanced 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 glanced 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 glanced at him and smiled, “Midnight Wind, ranked fifth on the assassin leaderboard.”
“Hmph.” The Midnight Wind snorted coldly.
James glanced at the assassins and said with a smile, “Didn‘t you guys know that coming 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 to come in, but it‘s not going to be easy to leave. The Black
Snake has already given up on you.”
James said casually.
“You might still be unaware that the Black Snake has no plans to take you all away. The purpose of his
trip is not to kill me. His real purpose is to save his boss, Blake. He has reached an agreement with theEmperor. The Emperor will bring Blake in exchange for me and prepare a helicopter for the Black
Snake to leave safely.”
novelbinThe assassins had serious expressions.
There was no need for James to tell them. They were well aware of the situation.
For 10 billion dollars, it was worth the risk,
As long as they found a way to leave Cansington at dawn, they will receive the 10 billion dollars. They
could retire after getting this 10 billion.
Everyone present had the same idea.
A young girl glanced 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
black 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 glanced at her and said with a smile, “You‘re wrong about that. The Black Snake didn‘t trust the
Emperor and decided to cooperate with me. As long as the Black Snake doesn‘t kill me, I‘ll definitely be
leaving alive. Plus, the Black Snake knows he can‘t kill me. That‘s why hechose to work with me.”
“Black 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.
According 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 glanced 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 plan 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 Black Snake promised to give each of you ten billion dollars. I trust he will not break his promise
because the Dark Castle isn‘t short on money. However, you won‘t live to claim 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 sạrviving against an
army.”
