Chapter 2408


    Other than identally stepping on a fallen branch in the backyard earlier on, the intruder did not make any noise at all, behaving just like a quiet nocturnal creature, who was an expert in moving around in the dark.


    Just when Nathan realized that the intruder was someone extremely powerful, he noticed something strange about the wind blowing out of the air- conditioner in the room.


    There seemed to be an unusual scent in the air.


    Nathan''s expression changed immediately as he held his breath.


    Not only was the intruder highly formidable, but he was also very scheming. He had even thought of making use of the air-conditioner cirction system to sedate everyone in the house.


    After inhaling a small amount of the spiked air, Nathan had identified the substance as one that was used to knock someone out but was not lethal. As such, he did not react immediately but continued lying on the bed quietly, waiting for the intruder to show up.


    A few minutester, the leaves of the tree outside the window rustled before a figure shed past. Just like a phantom, someone entered the room through the window andnded on the floor lightly.


    Kneeling on one knee, the intruder fixed his gaze intently on Nathan, who was on the bed, and stayedpletely still.


    Meanwhile, with the help of the moonlight, Nathan had managed to get a clear look at the intruder''s face when he flitted through the window earlier


    on.


    It was a skinny man who had a hunchback.


    Even though the skin on the man''s body was wrinkled just like an aged person, his face looked like that of a youngd in his teens.


    Thebination of an old man''s body with a hunchback and a young man''s face, in addition to the beguiling look in his eyes, was exceptionally creepy.


    After getting a clear look at the man''s face, Nathan continued lying on the bed with his eyes closed, pretending to be asleep.


    At the same time, he was working his mind intensely, trying to recall if he knew anyone associated with the creepy stranger who was in his room right then.


    Very quickly, a name surfaced in his mind.


    Hellish Assassin!


    He was a legendary expert assassin who was well-versed in the Ancient Arts.


    Rumors were that Hellish Assassin was already in his eighties. Even though he had a hunchback and his body appeared to be the same as an old man''s, his facial features were that of a youngster''s. There were also rumors of him being an extremely skilled fighter who had the habit of drinking the blood of other strong fighters.


    Hellish Assassin was a professional assassin, but he only took on jobs with top fighters as targets of assassination.


    However, the man only epted missions once every few years.


    Nathan was surprised that the legendary Hellish Assassin had actuallye for him.


    As he had never offended the man, Nathan was sure that Hellish Assassin was acting under someone else''s instructions.


    He could not help but suspect Cayden.


    Nathan sneered silently. Ha! Cayden, there''s something wrong with you indeed. Were you so shocked that I passed you Marshall''s phone that you can''t wait to get rid of me?


    Meanwhile, as Hellish Assassin did not notice any movements from Nathan, he assumed that the man was already knocked out by the drug.


    The corners of his lips curved into a cold grin as he muttered, "It seems like I am about to add one more powerful fighter to the list of the people I killed."


    The next second, moving at lightning speed, Hellish Assassin was already standing right next to Nathan''s bed.


    Staring at the man who was


    "sleeping peacefully on the bed with


    his eyes shut, Hellish Assassin raised his right hand and aimed his fingernails, which were as sharp as the tip of a knife, at Nathan''s neck.


    No one would be able to survive if the artery on their neck was sliced.


    Hellish Assassin could already imagine Nathan''s blood flowing out from the cut on his neck, and he licked his lips in excitement. However, right before his nails couldnd on Nathan''s neck, thetter, who had been lying motionlessly, suddenly opened his eyes. When Hellish Assassin met the man''s gaze, his actions froze instantly, and his heart started thumping wildly.


    With a faint smile on his face, Nathan said, "Seems like I have a guest?"


    At the same time, Hellish Assassin had snapped out of his shock and regained hisposure. His hand which was frozen in midair, continged its motion and charged toward Nathan''s neck, intending to


    leave five bloody holes there.


    However, before his fingers couldnd on Nathan''s skin, a sh of white light appeared as Nathan raised his right hand.


    Snowsphere!


    Suddenly, Hellish Assassin felt that


    his right hand became lighter. The next moment, there was a wet sensation on his wrist before he realized that his hand had been chopped off by Nathan at the wrist!


    The assassin felt a piercing pain after his severed hand fell to the floor.


    "Aaaahhh!” the man let out an agonizing wail and jumped out of the window at once.


    After falling over thirty feet, Hellish Assassinnded in the backyard and escaped, running for his life.Têxt ? N?velDrama.Org.


    "Since you''re already here, don''t be in a rush to leave!" Nathan''s voice sounded from behind.


    Scared out of his wits, Hellish Assassin started running at top speed with all his might.


    However, Nathan was not about to relent. He continued giving chase and ended up trapping the assassin in the back alley.
