Catherine just stood there, not saying a word.
"Who ordered the hit?"
"No clue, encrypted account."
Catherine rubbed her temples. "Reject it. Track their IP and ID."
"Got it, but they posted a bunch of similar jobs. Besides the one for you there are a few others already taken!"
Jobs on the dark web, unless they were for her or a few top-tier assassins, were up for grabs by anyone interested.
To take out. Marcus, they hired over a dozen hitmen!
Catherine asked for the info on those who accepted the job and hung up.
One sniper asked, "Is this the spor? Got word Marcus is in Building 3. Room 3 on the third floor."
Another sniper replied. "Yeap. Snipers are in place. The rest of you, follow me into the hospital."
Across from Bright Heal Hospital, three snipers had their sights on Marcus, who was pacing in his room, from different angles!
Siz assassins, in disguise, slipped into the hospital through the main entrance and spread out towards different buildings.
Catherine, on the rooftop, had her silenced sniper rifle aimed at the three snipers in the windows.
She was calculating the trajectory)
The snipers were 1000 feet away, well within her rangel
She pulled the trigger, and three bullets Dew, hitting the snipers right between the eyes with perfect precision!
The snipers dropped without even a chance to send a distress signal.
In the rooftop, Catherine, knowing the outcome, pocked up her rifle and headed downstairs, putting on her hat.
On the third floor, a group of people showed up in the hallway!
The leader stood out wearing a black shirt with sleeves slightly rolled up, showing off strong, muscular forearms. His sharp eyebrows and starry eyes, along with a chiseled face, looked like a masterpiece.
Yet, he had a faint smile, appearing gentle and approachable, but with an icy aloofness that kept people at a distance.
Standing & feet tall, exuding a cold aura, only one person had such a presencel
Alexander! The head of the top elite family in Imperia City, the Howard family!
The Howard family's business spanned the globe, and Alexander's name consistently topped the annual wealth rankings. This was just the visible part of their empire. The true strength of the Howard family was beyond estimation,
In Stellara, the Howard family had a hand in politics, business, real estate, healthcare, finance, and education.
Every household in Stellara likely had hems from the Howard family's enterprisest
With Alexander's appearance, the entire floor fell silent.
He glanced around, a slight smile on his lips. "Excuse me, has there been a change in the medical staff?"
The head nurse, surprised by the Howard family leader's keen perception, quickly explained, "Yes. Mr. Marcus Windsor's medication had some issues."
A barely noticeable cold glint flashed in Alexander's eyes before he looked away.
A faint sound of a bullet cutting through the air suddenly reached Alexander's ears!
He couldn't mistake that sound. He had been trained since childhood and know every type of bullet sound.
This sound was one he had heard before!
"Protect Marcus."
He gave the order, turning towards the hallway behind him.
Catherine's hand was around an assassin's neck, a knife slicing through the opponent's artery.
Her expression was calm, her moves quick and precise, each strike taking down an assassin smoothly.
"That technique, are you Blackfire?! Blackfire wasn't taking any jobs! Why are you here?! Retreat, Blackfire is here, it's a trap!"
Catherine ignored them, bullets flying from her gun, hitting the assassins right between the eyes!
Seeing her, the bloodthirsty assassins knew they had no chance of survival, drawing their guns for a desperate light.
"Your opponent is me." A calm male voice echoed from the stairwell!
A man in a black shirt walked down the stairs, his black leather shoes tapping the floor, each step like a demon rising from hell.
He had a gentle, composed smile on his face, and with a speed invisible to the naked eye, he swiftly took action. Before the assassins could react, they were already breathless!
Catherine's gaze fell on him as she thought, I've never seen him before. But with that kind of skill and deathly vibe, if I ain't mistaken, there's only one person who fits the bill. The leader of Shadow Syndicate, the top assassin group on the dark web. Nightfall!
