Chapter 148
"Y-You knew?" David's jaw dropped. "Yes, that's the one who posted the request. H-He issued a bounty of 450,000 on your head
in the Assassins Market."
I knew it! Kingsley clenched his fists. The murder within him was getting palpable, and it stirred up a little storm around him.
Lancer approached him, whispering, "Want me to get rid of the Jacobs, boss?"
"No." Kingsley took a deep breath. "The Jacobs are just small fry like the Summers. There's someone behind them. If we kill all
the small fries, the mastermind's going to go into hiding." He gritted his teeth. "Stick to the plan, but don't forget what Felix did.
Once I find out the truth behind that fire seventeen years ago, I will make the Jacobs pay a hundredfold."
A hint of cruelty flashed in his eyes. He wanted to murder the Jacobs, but he knew that now was not the right time. A long, long
time later, he finally calmed down and heaved a sigh. Once again, he turned around. "Is there someone called Serena in Orion
Tech?"
It's been a few weeks since she went to the neighboring town for her mission. Let's see if this guy knows anything.
"Serena? Oh, you mean Black Turtle?" David explained, "Killers usually keep their real identity a secret. We use codenames, but
I used to be her partner, so I know her real name."
"That's her. Do you know why she went to Diosna? Who's her target?"
David shook his head. "I have no idea, but I'm sure that the company hasn't been giving jobs to any of the tier two assassins for
the last two months. If she did go to Diosna, then she must have taken a job from the black market just like I did."
Kingsley froze up. Serena took a job from the black market? She might run into something she can't handle, just like this b*stard
here. He was reminded of what Serena told him before she left. "I can get you a new car once I finish this job." He started
panicking. If Serena ran into trouble just because she wanted to get him a new car, he would never forgive himself. "Lancer, call
Diosna's military and tell them to look for Serena. I'll send you her details," he told Lander before looking at David. "He's useless
now. Kill him."
"No, no!" David wet his pants, and he begged, "Please don't kill me!" However, nobody would be able to hear him. Kingsley and
Lancer had left, and the perfectly soundproof door was slammed shut, leaving him alone in the dark room as he awaited his
death.
They came to Lancer's office in Building No. 18, and Kingsley massaged his forehead, looking exhausted. "So, what's the news
The Anonymous sent us?"
Lancer reported, "They hacked into Sweoya's spy website, and the base station of the website is in an urban village located in
northern Cleapolis."
"I need it to be more specific."
"We don't have that information yet," Lancer said. "The enemy's cunning. They're using Sweoya's latest virtual base station tech.
The Anonymous can only point out an approximate location."
Kingsley nodded. "The urban village in the north, huh? That's plenty to work with. I'll be going there tomorrow."
"I'll get Hades and his men to go with you."
"No. Everyone will know that we're soldiers the moment we show up, including the enemy." Kingsley shook his head. "I'll just get
someone from the underworld to come with me."
This was why he accepted the Northern Draken Order from Henrich. He must not alert the enemy in this capture mission at all
costs. Getting the military involved was unfeasible, but not if he got someone from the underworld. The enemy would never
expect the leader of a little gang to be the fearsome Ares.
Kingsley went to Hill Crest the next day. Reene was recovering well, and she had regained some color. Alice had resumed her
initial position, and Zayne credited her for all her research. Reene did not tell the other sisters that she was hurt in case they got
worried. Only Alice and Cecilia were around to take care of her.
Looks like I have nothing to worry here. Kingsley called Baron and asked him to gather a few of his better fighters to go with him
on this little trip.
Baron brought about two dozen fighters, and five vans came Kingsley's way. He had submitted to Kingsley after finding out that
he had the Northern Draken Order. When Baron reached the hospital with his men, he hopped out of the van and bowed to
Kingsley. "I got all my best fighters here, boss. So, who are we killing this time?"
