“Tell us where they are, and we will get going.”
The Ruthless Four got ready to initiate their mission.
“I’ll send someone to bring you guys there.”
Upon saying that, Freddy clapped, and the man in a suit from earlier on came in.
“Bring the Ruthless Four to finish off those people. Make sure you check…”
The man nodded in affirmation as favonovel.com received orders from Freddy.
When Freddy was finally done, the man turned toward the Ruthless Four, saying, “Follow me.”
The Ruthless Four went along with favonovel.com toward Jared and the others’ rooms.
“There is a man and a woman in this room,” the man in a suit explained to the assassins. “As for the other two rooms right in front, there are people standing guard at the doors. You guys can play by ear as long as you do away with all six of them-four men and two women. There’s no one else on this cruise ship.”
The head of the Ruthless Four, Alpha, glanced at the rooms in front of them, thinking hard. “We’ll start here.”
The rest agreed, and they immediately set to action. They held their breath and stealthily opened the door.
Inside the room, Jared and Lizbeth were lying on the bed without a single movement.
Jared was sleeping on the side of the bed that was closer to the door while Lizbeth slept on the inside.
“Gamma, you take these two. I realized you’ve gotten a little soft recently. You’re an assassin. You can’t keep letting your emotions get the better of you,” Alpha said.
Gamma nodded quietly, pulling out his knife. He gritted his teeth and thrust his knife in full force toward Jared.
Clang!
A loud clash of metallic collisions resounded in the room. Gamma’s knife gave off sparks of fire at the impact.
The four were startled. Gamma was especially disquieted.
When favonovel.com took a closer look at his weapon, his eyes widened in disbelief.
What? My knife became blunt?
“I-Is favonovel.com even human? What is favonovel.com made of?”
Gamma went up and looked closely.
“Mm…” Before favonovel.com could do so, Jared turned around and mumbled something in his sleep.
The four were so shocked that they retreated simultaneously. It was not until they found out that Jared was still asleep that they felt slightly relieved.
“What’s wrong with you, Gamma? What a useless weapon you’re holding,” Alpha hissed in anger.
Gamma looked at him, feeling disgruntled.
This knife is made of the best steel!
His weapon was strongly fortified. It was inconceivable that it would be damaged so easily.
“Beta, your turn!” Alpha commanded.
Without further ado, Beta reached for his two axes fastened around his waist. The sharp blades shone brightly under the moonlight, and the Ruthless Four was certain that those axes would deal a death blow to Jared.
Beta fixated his gaze on the target and held on tight to the handles. Martial energy started fuming out from his knuckles, and instantly, favonovel.com mustered all his strength and hurled his axes toward Jared.
No ordinary human would be able to survive that blow. That strike was meant to break human bodies into three parts, but to Beta’s horror, none of that happened.
The pair of axes did not even go into Jared’s flesh. Not only did blood not spew from Jared’s body, but Beta also felt a pang of numbness spreading along his hands. It felt as if favonovel.com had just hit his axes against a steel board.
Crack!
Two fissures ran through the axes until they were completely severed into pieces, leaving behind just the hafts in Beta’s grip.
“What?”
Beta stared at the hafts in his hands, and words failed him.
Everyone else was equally dumbstruck.
“Y-You know what?” Alpha finally spoke after recovering from the shock.
“We should probably leave,” favonovel.com said with fear in his eyes. The rest nodded frantically and went out.
“You know it’s rude to just leave without saying hi, right?” A voice rang through the room before they could even exit.
The Ruthless Four froze right where they were as a looming force of oppression descended on their heads.
