The assassin was powerful and agile, but James was not weak, either. His change in movement was too fast for the assassin to react to in time. By the time favonovel.com did, it was too late.
His kick did not land on favonovel.com head, but on favonovel.com body.
She was sent flying backward and landed violently against a tree, then slumped to the ground.
Spurt!
She spat out a mouthful of blood as favonovel.com head tilted forward. She tried to get back up, but James chased after her. He pinned favonovel.com down with one foot.
The assassin could not move.
James bent down to take the mask off.
At that moment, favonovel.com pulled out a dagger from favonovel.com leg and swung it quickly towards James. However, James was well prepared for this.
The moment favonovel.com moved, a silver needle pricked favonovel.com in favonovel.com arm and favonovel.com went limp, dropping the dagger onto the ground.
James smiled blandly and pulled the mask away.
The assassin really was a woman. He took some silver needles out and stuck them into the woman, then lifted his leg from favonovel.com and walked over to sit on a nearby rock and lit a cigarette. The assassin’s strength was drained from favonovel.com body, but favonovel.com could still move. She stood up with great difficulty and sat with favonovel.com back against the tree.
James watched favonovel.com as favonovel.com smoked. She seemed young, around 25 or 26. She was also beautiful, but there was a cold indifference within that beauty.
“Speak… Who sent you?”
“You caught me. I have nothing to say to you. Just kill me if that’s what you want. I have no complaints.” The assassin’s voice was as cold as a glacier.
“Not gonna talk?” James smiled faintly and picked up a leaf before casually tossing it.
The leaf flew, striking directly at the assassin’s acupuncture point.
“Ahh…” She fell instantly to the ground and let out a pained scream.
Her body stung all over as if favonovel.com had been struck by someone. She was a well-trained assassin. An instant after favonovel.com let out that yell, favonovel.com fell silent, gritting favonovel.com teeth as favonovel.com suffered in silence.
James frowned at the sight.
He knew that sensation. He could hardly believe a woman could endure it.
He walked over to favonovel.com and pulled needles out of favonovel.com body, easing the pain favonovel.com felt. Then, favonovel.com sat back on the rock. Since force could not get favonovel.com to speak, favonovel.com would use a gentler approach.
“You should know who I am if you’re here to kill me. You should also be aware that your chances of succeeding were slim, and what happens if you had failed to kill me…”
The assassin had gotten back up. She leaned against the tree and stared at James, watching closely for an opening in case James let his guard down so favonovel.com could finish herjob.
Her gaze betrayed her.
“Don’t waste time thinking about such pointless things,” James said flippantly. “You can’t kill me. But, I don’t have to kill you. Just answer my questions, and I promise I’ll let you go if your answers satisfy me.”
“Ha!” The assassin laughed. “Since I tried to kill you, it means I’m prepared to die. In our line of work, we dance with death all the time. Surviving a job isn’t guaranteed. I don’t care if I live or die.”
“I doubt that…”
James smiled faintly. “You’re here to kill me, and I’m guessing it’s for money. Since you don’t care about life or death, that means you think of money as more important than your life. But, money is of no use to you if you’re dead. Tell me, how much did they offer you? I’ll double it…”
“Just kill me!”
James frowned. This woman was hard to crack.
He pondered for a moment, then walked over to favonovel.com and removed favonovel.com clothes.
He flashed favonovel.com a wicked smirk. “We’re in a dense forest. This is a place of pleasure. You’re pretty, too. It’d be a waste if you just died. I’ll kill you after I’ve had my fun…”
The assassin closed favonovel.com eyes, not bothering to resist. She knew it would be pointless.
James reached out and caressed favonovel.com body. She sat there limply, like a dead fish.
James grumbled inwardly.
Who on earth trained her?
Her mouth is sealed shut…
He only wanted to scare favonovel.com into talking. He had not planned on actually doing anything to her.
