Chapter 720 Top Assassins
Tristan left many work matters in the hands of his subordinates.
He was focused on nning the proposal and engagement.
He could''ve hired a wedding nner to handle everything, but he wanted to do it personally for Sophie.
He wanted her to have nothing but the best and took it upon himself to take care of every single detail,
including the preparation of their new home.
It was exhausting to do so, but when he saw the fruits of hisbor, he was overwhelmed with a feeling
of joy and satisfaction.
This would be their future home.
He was convinced that they had found the perfect home, one in which they could build a life together
and raise their children.
Felix was busy, too.
Tristan had taken time to pick the furniture personally ording to Sophie''s preferences. That sight
made Felix realize the magnitude of Tristan''s love for Sophie.
Tristan was even smiling blissfully when he took care of the trivial matters.
“Everything is ready, save for the proposal. When are you going to propose to her?” Felix asked. HeBelongs ? to N?velDrama.Org.
knew that Tristan had been struggling toe up with an idea for the perfect proposal but had yet to
make a final decision.
“I''ll do that a few dayster,” Tristan said. He was nning on informing Josiah about their wedding
first. “Right, is the Sable family up to something?”
Nichs had always been known for his crazy behavior, so it was especially strange that he was doing
nothing after learning about Sophie''s uing nuptials.
“Nothing for now. Don''t worry. I''ve assigned someone to keep watch on them,” Felix assured him.
Alex was dead, so the Sable family would definitely avenge him.
Even if Nichs were to die, nothing would stop Tristan and Sophie from getting married.
“I believe the Sable family has decided to withdraw from the game,” said Tristan irritably. He was no
longer willing to ept their behavior, as they kept challenging his limits.
“Ignore them. We''ll handle this, so focus on your wedding,” Felix reassured him. He didn''t want Tristan
to worry about it and risk affecting his uing wedding.
“All right. Be careful, then.” Tristan nodded. He knew that a cornered beast would resort to something
desperate, after all.
Meanwhile, Javier was reading the file brought to him by his trusted aide.
“Old Mr. Sable, this is an ideal situation for us. Before, we could not do anything to Sophie because of
her remarkable capabilities, but the circumstances have changed now. Now that she is injured, with her
leg wounded, we can certainly seize this opportunity to end her life.”
Mr. Nichs will always be infatuated with Sophie if she remains alive, so she must die.
“I will offer a sizable reward of five hundred million to anyone who can aplish the task of killing
Sophie. Make the necessary arrangements to ensure this is done.”
His trusted aide was surprised. Is Sophie''s life worth that much?
Meanwhile, the members of the assassin organization were delighted to see the order.
Five hundred million was an enormous reward offered to anyone who could sessfully assassinate
the target.
Such an opportunity was too good to pass up, so many assassins made their way to Chanaea
immediately.
It waste at night when Sophie, Arius, and Barney stepped out of the temporary base of the
Chanaean Medical Association.
“Wait here. I''ll go get my car and give you a ride home. It''ste. It''s not safe for you to be alone,” Arius
said.
“No need. You should leave with Dr. Smith. I''ve told Tristan toe and pick me up. He''ll be here
soon.”
“Oh, I see. We''ll be on our way, then. We know you don''t enjoy having people interrupting you two,”
Arius joked.
Sophie and Tristan had recently been feeling more in love than ever. They were both excited to begin
the next chapter of their lives as husband and wife.
“Be careful, Sophie,” Barney reminded. He was worried, but it was quite safe here, so he was certain
that she would not run into any danger.
After watching them leave, Sophie whipped her phone out to call Tristan.
Tristan was driving, but he answered her call.
“Have you gotten off work? I''ll arrive in ten minutes. Wait for me inside the building. It''s still cold
outside,” Tristan said. He knew she was afraid of the cold and wanted to make sure she wouldn''t have
to endure it for too long.
“I know. Take your time. It''s dangerous to talk on the phone while you''re driving,” Sophie replied
cheerfully.
“It''s all right,” Tristan assured her. “I''m quite familiar with racing, so I''m confident that I can handle
driving on a public road. Plus, I''m using Bluetooth, so there''s no need to worry.”
During their conversation, Sophie sensed something off and dodged away deftly.
Indeed, someone had shot at her using a gun with a silencer.
“I need to get back to work. Talk to youter!” Sophie said hastily.
Tristan would take ten minutes to arrive, so she had to depend on herself to survive the attack.
“Mm, I''ll be there shortly,” Tristan replied, not realizing that she was in trouble. He quickly ended the call
to focus on driving. His gaze shifted to the bouquet of vibrant red roses that rested on the passenger
seat, which elicited a blissful smile from his face.
Meanwhile, the top assassins had already revealed themselves before Sophie.
The sight of them brought a vicious smile to Sophie''s lips.
She couldn''t remember how long it had been since she had gotten involved in a fight. It seemed that
she had stopped involving herself in dangerous situations after she got together with Tristan.
“Who sent you here?” she demanded icily. “You''ve got the guts toe and kill me, huh?”
The assassins didn''t seem to be joking around.
The leader of the group was an imposing figure of a man with bright blond hair, deep blue eyes, and a
distinctive red spider lily tattoo adorning his neck.
It was clear as day that he was not someone to be trifled with.
“It doesn''t really matter who sent us here. What''s most important is that we need money, and your life
is of great value. That is the only thing that matters,” the man answered in a frigid tone.
“You want my life, huh? We''ll see if you''re capable of killing me,” Sophie dered.
That wasn''t the first time she encountered someone who wanted her dead, so she was abnormally
calm.
“Prior to our arrival, we conducted thorough research on you and discovered that you are good at
fighting and are not afraid of death. But with your leg injury, are you certain you will be able to make it
out alive?” the assassin mocked.
As the top assassins in the world, they would never head into a battle unprepared. They knew that the
fee for their services was significant, and thus, it was expected that they would have to make some sort
of sacrifice in order to acquire such arge amount of money.
“It looks like you know my condition well. Even if my leg is injured, you won''t be my match,” Sophie
replied arrogantly.
“Oh, how daring of you!” the female assassin eximed mockingly. “Let''s see if you are as proficient as
you boast you are!” She was petite in stature, but her words were full of confidence.
They could kill anyone they wanted in the world.
“Cut the crap ande at me!” Sophie snarled.
The assassins wanted her dead to get the reward.
There were five of them, and they were armed with weapons.
Sophie had to face them alone without any weapons.
Another assassin remarked, “I thought this mission would be dangerous, but it looks like I''m wrong.”
He had only agreed toe, as he thought the mission would be interesting.
By then, the five assassins had already gotten rid of the two bodyguards Tristan had hired to protect
Sophie.
“Will you choose to end your life? That way, you can die quickly.” The assassins were bored already as
the mission wasn''t as interesting as they had expected. However, they still had toplete it to get the
reward.
