When Alex heard what the assassin said, he hesitated. He could not even remember the last time he hesitated. Under normal circumstances, he would have already killed the assassin and wouldn't even bother to have a conversation like this.
Still, for some reason, he could not end the assassin's life. This was a person who tried to kill him, so why hesitate?
Even as that question echoed in his mind, his expression remained completely unreadable. His face, as stoic as ever, betrayed not a single flicker of emotion.
It was that silence, that stillness, that made the assassin uneasy. Neither of them made a sound as Alex continued pointing the gun at Umbra, who saw Alex's emotionless eyes staring at him.
There were many rumors about the Silent Flash that even an assassin in the city knows about. But the most well-known rumor was that the Silent Flash didn't feel human. He felt more like a robot who only knew how to finish his missions.
"Fine, I will allow you to live."
