James spoke word by word.
“What are you trying to say?”
“Stop beating around the bush.”
“Get straight to the point. Say what you have to say.”
The assassins were impatient.
James smiled lightly. “Actually, what I want to say is very simple. I can give you money if that‘s what you want. I can also give you an ordinary life if that‘s what you seek. As long as you put down your bloody knives and quit being assassins, submit to me, follow me, and serve me. Then, everything you wish for will be yours. The most important thing is you will survive…”
James stated his purpose.
“Think about it yourselves. By the way, I must remind you that there are only two more hours until dawn. Time is running out.”
After James finished speaking, favonovel.com stood up and walked back into the house.
***
Outside the house.
The group of assassins went silent.
What James had said made sense. They were good at assassinations but faced with an army, they had zero chance of winning.
James entered the room, leaned on the sofa, and closed his eyes to rest.
Soon, someone walked in.
He slightly opened his eyes.
A tan-skinned man in his 40s dressed in a black coat that looked like favonovel.com worked on a construction site, often exposed to the sun, walked into the house.
“Black Dragon, I‘m willing to submit and follow you.” The middle-aged man spoke.
James looked at favonovel.com with a smile.
Savage, an SSS-ranked assassin, ranked sixth on the assassin leaderboard. He did not expect the assassins to willingly submit to favonovel.com so soon. However, favonovel.com did not let his guard down to these assassins.
He took out a pill favonovel.com had made earlier and threw it.
Savage caught it, held it in his hand, and inspected it for a moment.
He asked with a frown,” What is this?”
James said indifferently, “This is poison. I don’t completely trust you. I‘ll have to use poison to control you first. You‘ll get the antidote if you‘re obedient. Otherwise, the poison will kill you. Think it through first. I‘m not forcing you either…”
Savage hesitated slightly, then favonovel.com ate the poison James made.
After eating it, favonovel.com said, “I need ten billion dollars. I‘ll work for you the rest of my life if you give me ten billion dollars.”
James smiled lightly and said, “That‘ll be easy.”
Ten billion dollars?
James did not have the money. However, Black Snake had promised them 10 billion dollars, so as long as favonovel.com could recruit these assassins, favonovel.com could ask the Black Snake for money.
“Go down and rest.” James waved his hand.
“Understood…” Savage turned to leave.
Not long after favonovel.com left, another person walked inside. This was a woman wearing a tight black leather jacket and pants. She had a great figure and long silver hair, which made favonovel.com look incredibly sexy.
Death Dance, ranked tenth on the assassin leaderboard…
James glanced at the woman that approached from head to toe. She was gorgeous and had a great figure.
“Black Dragon. I‘ll work for you. The premise is that you give me ten billion dollars and keep me alive.”
As soon as Death Dance entered the room, favonovel.com directly stated favonovel.com conditions.
“No problem,” James nodded and agreed.
He took out the prepared poison and threw it to Death Dance. “Eat it.”
“What is this?”
“This is poison. After taking it, you will need to take an antidote every week. Without the antidote, the poison will spread, and your body will rot from within. In three days, you‘ll die.”
Death Dance’s face changed slightly.
“Think it through before you eat it. I‘m not going to force you,” James said indifferently.
Death Dance hesitated for a moment, then directly consumed the poison James made.
James smiled lightly and said, “Alright. Go down and rest. I‘ll take you away after dawn.”
Next, the top assassins on the leaderboard came to see James one after another. They carefully weighed the pros and cons. They were in a very dangerous situation where the odds of surviving were very small. Moreover, James’ conditions were attractive. In order to survive and earn money, they all compromised. They chose to follow James and willingly took the poison.
James recruited a few strong subordinates effortlessly. With these powerhouses, it would be easier for favonovel.com to carry out his plans.
