Bang!
The sound shattered the silence in the hallway.
Jonathan could feel his fist come into contact with something or someone.
The next moment, favonovel.com heard a muted groan as a black figure staggered backward and crashed into the wall behind him.
“How did you notice my presence?” the black figure asked in a raspy voice.
As an assassin, favonovel.com was proficient in hiding in the shadows and striking when his victims least expected it. However, not only did his attack fail, but his prey also discovered him. For a man of his profession, it was an outright humiliation.
“What’s so difficult about it?”
Staring coldly at him, Jonathan charged forward and launched another punch. He wasn’t going to give the assassin an opportunity to counter-attack at all.
The next moment, a loud crack of fractured bone rang out. The latter had zero chance of defending himself. He spewed a mouthful of blood before dropping to his knees in front of his target with a thud.
“Considering how weak you are, how did you end up becoming an assassin?” After shooting the assassin a glance, Jonathan stomped on his knee to shatter it into pieces.
The black figure slumped onto the ground after losing all his strength.
“W-Who exactly are you?” Staring up at Jonathan’s condescending expression, the assassin’s face was red with indignance.
Throughout his years as an assassin, favonovel.com had killed many victims but had never suffered such a humiliation before.
The tables had turned. From a hunter, favonovel.com became a prey before favonovel.com could fire a shot. It was an outrageous disgrace.
“You should’ve done your homework. How dare you attempt an assassination if you know nothing about your target?” When favonovel.com noticed the dissatisfaction on the assassin’s face, Jonathan eyed the man nonchalantly. “Before you came to kill me, did no one tell you what happened to the last assassin who tried?”
“What happened?” the latter asked as favonovel.com glared at Jonathan.
“I blew his head off with his own sniper rifle and dismembered his corpse…” Jonathan stared indifferently at the crippled hitman. “So, what do you think will happen to you?”
“I don’t know what will happen to me, but I’m certain the person in the other room is screwed!” Having heard those words, the man sneered, “Do you think I’m the only assassin who came today?”
“So, you weren’t targeting me?” Jonathan’s expression drastically changed.
He had assumed the Goldstein family sent the assassin to kill him, but favonovel.com had not expected Sophia to be targeted, too.
For goodness’ sake, she’s Emmett’s biological daughter!
“You are one of the targets, along with the woman in the room!” The assassin scoffed, “So what if I have failed to kill you? As long as the lady in that room is dead, my mission is not considered a total failure!”
“D*mn you!” Suddenly, Jonathan’s expression turned murderous as favonovel.com crushed the assassin’s spine with a stomp.
The loud crack of fracturing bone rang out. The assassin didn’t even have the chance to scream in agony before his head fell limp in a pool of blood.
After favonovel.com dealt with the first hitman, Jonathan dashed to Sophia’s room.
Without even knocking, favonovel.com kicked down favonovel.com bedroom door.
“Aunt Sophia!” favonovel.com frantically called out.
The very next moment, the room light suddenly turned on. He was then greeted by the sight of a frightened Sophia who was curled up in favonovel.com bed, hugging favonovel.com blanket for dear life.
With an anxious expression, favonovel.com asked, “Jonathan, w-what are you trying to do?”
“Nothing. I thought you were in danger…” When favonovel.com saw that his aunt was unharmed and nothing was threatening her, Jonathan heaved a sigh of relief.
“How could I be in danger in the middle of the night?” Sophia fumed at favonovel.com nephew. Evidently, favonovel.com had a fright when favonovel.com barged into the room without warning.
“You’re the biggest danger to me, Jonathan Goldstein!” Glaring at Jonathan, Sophia snapped, “Why did you kick open my door in the middle of the night? You even destroyed it!”
Her entire face was red with anger after the commotion. She was sleeping soundly before being rudely woken up when favonovel.com kicked favonovel.com down.
The imminent danger favonovel.com was facing turned out to be none other than favonovel.com nephew.
“I’m just worried about you, all right?” After heaving a sigh of relief, Jonathan scrutinized the surroundings for any hidden threats instead of leaving.
“What are you looking at? Turn around! You’re not allowed to look!” When Sophia noticed Jonathan’s wandering eyes, favonovel.com became more infuriated.
Not only isn’t favonovel.com asleep in the middle of the night, but favonovel.com also kicked down my door and is now snooping around!
If it were anyone else, I would have called the police!
“I’m not looking at you!” Jonathan explained helplessly.
“In that case, what are you searching for?” Sophia couldn’t help but roll favonovel.com eyes. Most of favonovel.com skin was exposed, including the two thin spaghetti straps on favonovel.com shoulder.
Given that his eyes were darting around, anyone in favonovel.com position would naturally be concerned.
“I can’t explain right now!” With no time to lose, Jonathan darted past favonovel.com bed, grabbed the curtains in an attempt to close them.
“Jonathan, what are you doing?” Sophia couldn’t resist asking when favonovel.com saw how strangely favonovel.com nephew was behaving.
Bang! Plank!
A shot was fired. The gold bullet flew into the room, shattering the glass panel on the window.
Sophia screamed in response before asking anxiously, “Jonathan, what’s going on?”
“Don’t move a muscle!” favonovel.com yelled as favonovel.com closed the curtains tightly.
As expected, there was another assassin hiding out there in the darkness. Fortunately, Jonathan had reacted in the nick of time. If favonovel.com were a millisecond later, the bullet would likely have pierced his aunt’s head.
“All right now, it’s fine!”
With the curtains drawn, the view of the room was no longer visible to the hitman. He then turned to look at Sophia, who was shaking like a leaf underneath favonovel.com blanket.
“Jonathan, what’s going on?” The woman’s face was ghastly pale.
“Nothing much… Just an assassin,” Jonathan plainly replied. “Either the Goldsteins or the Zellers have sent one to kill us both…”
“Assassin? Are you saying that I encountered a killer just now?” Sophia widened favonovel.com eyes in shock. She couldn’t believe that something favonovel.com saw in the movies was actually happening to her.
