Chapter 1021


    After the physical examination, Sophia took some time to rest. She had been so worried and frightened


    the whole day, she couldn’t eat and sleep well. Exhausted, she fell asleep right after making a goodnight


    call to Carmen.


    At the same time, Cooper went to deal with other things while Michael continued to stay in contact with


    Justin.


    At that moment, Justin was chasing after de with his subordinates. I can’t let that man survive.


    Michael gave him a fatal blow this time round, so it’s the best opportunity to kill him.


    However, the news that Justin sent back was not good. They had lost a lot of men but after being


    stabbed by Michael, de became more and more courageous and he forcefully fought through the


    numerous men who surrounded him.


    The situation was simr to the hunt for Phantom Wolf years ago. Back then, they had many men


    hunting him down, but Phantom Wolf still managed to escape.


    One of them was the world’s No.1 killer while the other was the world’s No. 2 killer. Those who could get


    their names on the Killer List did not rely on unspoken rules, and it wasn’t like ‘Light of Cethos’, which


    relied on votes from fans.


    That night, Michael didn’t sleep. He sat next to Sophia’s hospital bed and looked at her peaceful sleeping


    face. Then, he took a short nap in the chair.


    At that moment, it was still early in the morning in Bayside City, so it was extremely dark outside. Under


    the night sky, in a deserted suburban area, a figure galloped forward like a gust of wind and dozens of


    men were chasing behind him.


    After being stabbed by Michael in the waist, de’s movements became slower and slower.


    Unfortunately, they were in a hurry and there were too many arrangements to make, so they didn’t have


    the time to bring a poisoned knife. Otherwise, he would’ve died a long time ago.

    However, de’s running speed was not to be underestimated. Those dozen men may not even be able


    to catch up with him.


    Under the night, the great hunt began. de fled to an abandoned town that was about to be


    demolished, and realized that he had escaped to the ce he killed Sarah. The gloomy town was


    already sparsely popted in the first ce, and the buildings were in ruins. Later, when the demolition


    was ordered, there were even fewer people. Red warnings of demolition were stered everywhere in


    the town.


    As de ran deeper into town, the men behind continued to follow him. There were even dozens of


    drones flying in the sky, looking for traces of him. Under the mask that he never removed, his gaze was


    still unruffled. It was as if he wasn’t human and had forgotten how to feel fear.


    de ran down the main street of the town. All of a sudden, he felt a tingling sensation. His experience


    as a killer told him that there was iing danger. As expected, the next second, he felt as if his calf


    was bitten by a poisonous snake. He looked down and saw that he was shot, and the bullet had gone


    through his calf. Snipers!


    de gritted his teeth and continued moving forward. He had amazing fitness. As he ran, he kept


    searching for escape points. He was fast and moved very cautiously so the snipers couldn’t aim for a


    second shot.


    There was a parking lot in front that wasn’t demolished yet. There was even a car that looked brand-new,


    and under the moonlight, he could see that the ruts on the ground were pretty fresh. The car was


    probably owned by residents from the nearby suburbs.


    When de saw the car, he quickly backed up. He didn’t think of stealing the car and driving away.


    Instead, he ran away from it. If someone drove that car not long ago, it means that there is gasoline


    inside. Gasoline can cause explosions…


    As expected, a bullet urately hit the fuel tank of the car. A few secondster, there was arge


    explosion and the entire parking lot was submerged in a sea of mes, including de…


    The explosion ended one minuteter and the car’s scorched parts scattered all over the ground, some


    of them still burning. A man carrying a gun slowly walked into the fire and with a relentless gaze in his


    eyes, he searched the area, but there was no trace of de.


    A group of men rushed over from behind and searched around, but they couldn’t find anything either.


    There was a small river nearby so they knew that de had escaped. Not knowing whether he was alive


    or dead, they sent men to find him. However, everyone knew that if they couldn’t find de’s body, he


    would definitelye back in the future.


    Justin looked solemn while Stanley, who was standing next to him, was expressionless. It was as if


    Stanley had changed overnight. He used to act like a happy Husky, but just yesterday, he lost the most


    important partner in his life, and he could only watch as they died. At that moment, all he wanted was to


    get revenge! He hadpletely changed from a cute and silly Husky into a hungry wolf. I’ll avenge Sean


    and Sarah!


    He didn’t get the result he was hoping for, but it was not out of his expectations. de wasn’t any weaker


    than Phantom Wolf. If they could easily kill him, the Killer List would be for nothing. The ranking within


    the Killer List was decided by the number of people the world’s best and most brutal killers killed with


    their own hands. Even Michael was not able to kill Quinton after so many years, so it couldn’t be easy for


    him to kill de.


    Carrying the gun, Stanley left without saying a word. His eyes were gloomy, and it seemed like


    something inside him was changing…


    Justin watched Stanley leave before he pulled out his phone and sent a message to Michael. ‘Mission


    failed.’


    When Michael received the news, he was having breakfast with Sophia in the hospital. He wasn’t


    surprised when he learned the news. His feelings were the same as when Justin failed to hunt down


    Phantom Wolf when he was still known as Abel.


    After breakfast, Michael shaved his beard, hid in the washroom and called Quinton.


    Quinton was not surprised by their failure. “I have been fighting him for more than ten years, but I still


    couldn’t kill him, let alone less-skilled people like you all. Dealing with de requires careful nning


    and you must kill him with one shot. Otherwise, it will be harder next time. That man is scary. However,


    right now, you have a better chance to deal with him. This is the first time I’ve seen de give up his


    mission for other reasons. This is a good opportunity.”


    Michael knew what he meant. de was really in love with Katrina. In order to get Katrina, he was even


    willing to let go of his target, Sophia. As a killer, this was a taboo. He had vited the standards and


    regtions of the industry. This was the first time de had made a vition, and he had received his


    punishment. de will be back.


    Michael hung up the phone and returned to the ward, only to find Sophia sitting on the bed, crying


    silently. “Missus, what’s wrong?”


    Sophia remembered that de shot a bullet straight into Sean’s heart, so it was certain he could not be


    saved. She also remembered that Sarah’s throat was slit by a knife. A moment ago, she heard that Harry


    was crushed by a truck on his way to see Sarah at the hospital, and he probably didn’t survive too…


    When they rescued her yesterday, they had kept everything a secret from her, but she received terrible,


    terrible news that morning. I never thought the four of us who used to study in Bayside University and


    went through military training together would turn out like this…


    Sobbing, Sophia said to Michael, “Let’s adopt Sour Face and the dog. They can be Carmen’s


    companions.”


    Just when Michael was about to say something, they heard a cold voiceing from the doorway.


    “I’m not dead yet! Why are you plotting to take my son and my dogs away from me…”


    Sophia turned around and saw Harry leaning on the door frame, looking at them with a gauze on his


    forehead.
