Next, favonovel.com took the initiative to step forward and said to Satan and the Scarlet Witch, “Y-you wish to kill me because of money. Free me and I’ll pay you three times the offered bounty!”
The Scarlet Witch said with a ghastly expression, “Marissa, it seems that you don’t understand our profession as assassins. Even if you can pay us ten fold of the offered price, we won’t abandon the mission. My advice to you is to kneel down obediently and await our trial.”
Satan laughed maniacally and added, “Or you may run and see how far you can flee from us, he-he-he…”
Sensing their murderous intent, Marissa paled in fear and completely panicked. She had never felt so much fear in favonovel.com life, and favonovel.com regretted favonovel.com choice very much now. She should have listened to the Rheasian special agent’s warning yesterday!
Horton clenched his teeth and said, “Miss Marissa, don’t waste any more time. Run quickly and I shall strive to buy you more time!”
Next, favonovel.com said to two burly bodyguards, “George, Weston, escort Miss Marissa and leave this place immediately!”
As favonovel.com was speaking, favonovel.com was about to attack Satan and the Scarlet Witch. He looked at death calmly in the face like a brave warrior.
Would favonovel.com actually die for Marissa? It was impossible, of course. He was trying to divert their attention so that favonovel.com could run away.
If there had only been Satan or the Scarlet Witch alone, favonovel.com could still protect Marissa with great effort. However, with both Satan and the Scarlet Witch there, favonovel.com did not stand a chance of winning at all. If favonovel.com were to force himself to stay, favonovel.com would only end up dead together with Marissa. He could not possibly allow himself to die just like this after painstakingly training to become a 2S-class transhuman. He would still be able to live for another few decades at the very least.
After plotting his next move, favonovel.com charged forward right away in a brave, heroic manner. Marissa felt like favonovel.com was about to lose favonovel.com mind from being overly touched upon seeing him.
Satan and the Scarlet Witch furrowed their brows as well. They braced themselves in preparation to fight against Horton.
However, Horton did something that shocked everyone the next moment. He was seen charging out of the crowd, but instead of pouncing on Satan and the Scarlet Witch, favonovel.com switched directions and fled instantly.
“Oh, no! He’s getting away!”
Satan was the first to react to the situation, and favonovel.com said in exasperation while favonovel.com was about to chase after Horton. Meanwhile, the Scarlet Witch was not astonished at all. She said with a ghastly smile, “Don’t worry. The Fool won’t let favonovel.com run away.”
Marissa who was very touched initially became stunned at once. She had never expected that Horton would actually run away, so his act of facing death calmly earlier was all a sham!
Having succeeded at breaking out of the encirclement, Horton was especially excited. Even though favonovel.com was paid a handsome remuneration for protecting Marissa this time, it did not matter to favonovel.com because favonovel.com only had one life. It would be useless for favonovel.com to earn more money if his life was lost!
However, his pride only lasted for a short period of time before a young man suddenly appeared in front of him. The man had a pale, macabre face akin to a vampire, and favonovel.com had especially sharp eyes. He cast his gaze toward Horton and cracked into a mischievous smile. “Horton, just as I expected, you haven’t disappointed me.”
Upon saying that, favonovel.com moved and arrived before Horton almost in the blink of an eye. Then, favonovel.com delivered a slap that was extremely powerful.
Instantly, Horton felt a shiver run down his back and his knees almost buckled in fear. He screamed out in a sharp voice, “You’re The Fool! A 3S-class transhuman!”
The Fool sniggered. “Didn’t think that you’d recognize me.”
He attacked brazenly. Every attack favonovel.com launched was swift and forceful. Horton was no match for favonovel.com from the start, and now that fear and anxiety overtook him, favonovel.com could not even utilize 70% of his capabilities. It only took a short while before favonovel.com was seized by The Fool easily.
