Chapter 463
“The Dark Castle is the most mysterious assassin organization in the world. They also specialize in training assassins,” May
said.
James had been in the military for ten years. He had conquered lands and lived his days by the edge of the sword, but
organizations like this were something he did not know much about.
This piqued his interest.
“You say you were one of Dark Castle’s three SSS-ranked assassins. I don’t know what SSS means, but does this mean there
are two others as strong as you are?” May nodded.
“More or less.”
“Who are they?”
May shook her head.

“I don’t know. Dark Castle has a rule where we all had to wear masks. I’ve never seen any of their faces. Dark Castle also has a
rule where you have to complete your mission if you accept it. If you fail, you’ll die in most cases. However, the penalty is
circumstantial. There’s also another rule where you have to die if someone sees you without your mask on.”
“So, what’s next?” James asked, looking at her.
“You can’t return to Dark Castle, your supervisor is dead. Dark Castle will definitely be on the hunt for you. You might not be able
to move freely now.” May shook her head slightly. She had not thought about it.
“I need men by my side,” James said simply.
“If you want, you could follow me. I can’t guarantee your safety forever, but you’ll be safe for the time being.” May turned to look
at him.
“You’re taking me in? Aren’t you worried I’d attack you the first chance I get so I can complete my mission?” James chuckled.
“That depends if you’re capable of doing that.” May was lost in thought. She had no way of returning now. She had no place in
the world. There was only one other option for her, besides dying, and that was to follow James. She nodded after a few
moments of thinking.
“Okay. I’ll go with you.”
James smiled faintly.
He pulled his phone out and called someone named Ronald Moone.
Ronald was one of the thousand men he had transferred from the Southern Plains and was the current leader of those thousand
men.
These men had been laying low in Cansington since being transferred here, awaiting James’s order.
“Boss,” an excited voice came from the speaker.
“What’s your order?”
It had been a few days since Ronald had brought his brothers-in-arms to Cansington, but James never contacted him. Now that
he’s calling, Ronald got excited.
“Drive to Dragon Fountain Villa. There’s someone here I need you to pick up.”
“Yes, sir.” With his orders received, Ronald instantly made preparations. James hung up and looked at May.
“Can you walk?” May stood up with some difficulty, sweat droplets appearing as she did. Her face was twisted in pain as she
took a few steps.
“I-I’m alright,” she said weakly.
James knew that she was a specially-trained assassin. Her body was durable and she had a terrifyingly high tolerance for pain.
She may have been shot and lost a lot of blood, but the bullet had been taken out. If she could not even walk right now, she
would not be worthy of being by his side.
May looked at the body on the floor and took out a small bottle. She poured the powder inside onto the body, and it burst into
flames in an instant, turning quickly into ashes.
James did not comment and just turned to leave. May followed him. They ran back towards the hotel, one in front, and one
following behind. Earlier, Lorne made his move just as James gave chase after the assassin.
He used the knockout gas on the security and turned the power off.
People walked out of their rooms when the power was cut off. But as they did, they inhaled the knockout gas and slumped to the
ground, unconscious. Lorne started searching for James when everyone was knocked out.
However, James was nowhere to be found. Only Thea and Quincy were around.
“That fucking brat. Where did he go?!”
Lorne searched every room, but James was not in any of them. He kicked a door in anger.
“Boss, his wife is still here. I’m sure he couldn’t have gone far. We should wait. He’ll be back”
“Boss, look at all the hotties. How about we let everyone have some fun?”
