Chapter 677


    Everyone fell silent.


    Sneaking into Southern ins City, which was heavily fortified by a three-million-strong army, and


    assassinating the generals of the twenty-eight nations?


    This would be the most daunting assassination mission they had ever received.


    They looked at one another.


    No one said anything.


    Scanning the crowd, May stepped forward.“I’m going with you, James.”


    May grew up in the Dark Castle and was brought up as an assassin. Throughout her life, she had lived


    in bleak despair.


    After following James, she finally understood the meaning of life. It was James that gave her


    everything. Now that James had a mission, she was duty-bound to fulfill her responsibilities.


    James looked at the others and asked, “Anyone else?”


    The assassins were hesitant.


    Although they were loyal to James, the current mission was extremely dangerous. The chances of


    returning alive were close to zero.


    They did not wish to lose their lives so easily.


    “I’ll follow you.”


    Death Dance stepped forward. She used to be the tenth on the hitman ranking. After following James,


    the Blithe King created a legitimate identity for her.


    She was now called Skr Caden.


    “I’ll go too.”


    Scorpion, number nine on the hitman ranking, stepped forward. He now lived as Jameson Caden.


    He said, “As a Solean, I have killed many of my countrymen, yet I have never done anything for my

    country. If the mission fails, I hope that you’ll bury me in the National Mausoleum, James. I want my


    family to be proud of me.”


    Midnight Wind, number five on the hitman ranking, grinned cheerily. “In that case, count me in.”


    Little Sis, number three on the hitman ranking, piped up. “Don’t forget about me.”


    Then, Wanderer and Grim Reaper, number four and seven on the hitman ranking respectively, agreed


    to go too.


    James began assuring the assassins that hadmitted themselves to the cause. “Although the


    mission in Southern ins City is extremely dangerous, I promise I’ll bring you all back safely. This is


    how the n will go. You’ll remain in the shadows ande get me in secret. If something doesn’t feel


    quite right, leave immediately.”


    James beganying out his n.


    He would be the one going on the offensive and assassinating the generals.


    The assassins were only there as a fail-safe.


    They would pick James up in case the n went awry.


    After a whole morning’s worth of discussion, a more detailed n was drawn up.


    However, a problem remained. How would they sneak into Southern ins City?


    It was heavily guarded by an army of three million. Not only that, the city was sealed off. No ordinary


    man was allowed to enter.


    James had thought of a way. Although there were risks involved, the possibility of sess was also


    there.


    After the discussion, they left.


    Driving a few off-road vehicles, they headed in the direction of the city.


    At the same time, in Southern ins City’s military region…


    A middle-aged man was on the phone as he smoked his cigarette under a tree.


    Wearing a ck overcoat, he wore a hat. His silhouette was indiscernible.


    It was Floyd Zink.


    He was the Emperor’s confidant and strongest subordinate.


    “James is now aware that you’re the one behind this. He’ll try to assassinate the generals of the twenty-


    eight nations in an attempt to reduce the casualties as much as possible. Be on your guard. Once he


    enters the city, do not let him leave alive.”


    “Understood. I’ll aplish the mission.” Floyd assured the person on the other line.


    The voice sternly cautioned him. “Do not becent. During his time in Cansington, he’s


    assembled a group of top-notch assassins. Their strength is not beneath yours.”
