Life or death, it was in fate's hands now.This left Austin anxious and tense. Even though he was lying in bed, utterly exhausted from his injuries, he couldn't sleep."Buddy, you have to pull through!" Austin sighed heavily.His right hand instinctively reached into his pocket and found a partially opened pack of cigarettes.After his mother passed away, he had turned to smoking and drinking.Vincent's guidance had helped him overcome that despair.But the past few days of tense assassination attempts had made him stuff the half-empty pack into his pocket again.He hadn't lit a single one before tonight's events unfolded.Click!He flickered the lighter, igniting a cigarette.Thick smoke filled his lungs, but it did nothing to ease his anxiety and tension.The idea that cigarettes could relieve stress or fatigue was a lie. It was just a psychological comfort.But at that moment, all Austin had was the hope of some psychological comfort, there was nothing else he could do t

Austin finally moved.Unmoving like a mountain, attacking like fire.His body shifted abruptly, narrowly dodging the machete."Die!" The assassin's eyes widened with fury, her murderous intent boiling over.The machete, which had been slashing down vertically, instantly switched to a horizontal slash aimed at Austin. The sharp blade gleamed coldly.The assassin sneered, "Can you dodge this?"Given the angle and speed.Based on her battle experience, Austin might have dodged the first strike, but he couldn't possibly evade the second.Death was imminent!Before her words had fully left her mouth, a cold laugh echoed in her ear."Can you dodge this?"Boom!The assassin's body shook as if struck by lightning, her eyes widening in shock.Almost simultaneously, a faint whooshing sound cut through the air.The assassin's wide eyes barely caught a glimpse of a thin flash of cold light passing by."What's happening?"The assassin was horrified. She felt her machete move against

Austin gave a melancholic smile, not fully accepting the praise.He couldn't embrace glory built on the sacrifice of lives, it felt shameful to him.Taking a deep breath, Austin looked at Ezra. "How is it at Heavensgate?"Since Ezra had brought all the bodyguards, the hospital situation must have been handled. Now, the focus was on Heavensgate.Compared to the commotion at the hospital, the situation at Heavensgate was much more serious."It's quite tricky, but I've sent people to handle it. The problem should be manageable," Ezra said with a somber expression.His eyes then swept over Austin and caught sight of the assassin's body in the room. His face changed immediately. "Sir, this is...""An assassin. It's taken care of," Austin said calmly. "Clean it up, and also call a doctor to re-dress my wound. Aldus is still in the emergency room.""I understand," Ezra replied, his expression serious.Having Ezra there made things much easier for Austin.Ezra took care of everythi

The lure of money, combined with the heavy losses they suffered, made it almost certain that the escaped Grim Guard Mercenaries would come back for another attempt.These ruthless killers weren't likely to be deterred by last night's battle.When would they strike again? And in what manner?Austin's eyes were deep with thought as he let out a weary sigh."It's getting more and more complicated. From a farmer to a mercenary team, this Shadow Web Syndicate assassination mission is truly bizarre. The only ones who might be laughing now are those idiots from the Emersons."He knew very little about the Shadow Web Syndicate.But he could deduce that a blood-soaked organization hidden in the dark web wouldn't operate openly under the sun.This assassination order was clearly unusual.The most likely explanation was that someone was deliberately orchestrating it. Turning a simple assassination into a bloodthirsty frenzy for violent individualsHis mind was tangled with complex though

Considering the relationship between Vincent and Austin, Ezra decided to ask for more details.But how could they help in this situation?The assassination order from the Shadow Web Syndicate was a challenge even for Walter.The Reed family, despite expanding their influence significantly after the fall of the Redmont family and becoming the wealthiest in Basin City, wasn't at a level where they could help with this situation.Austin smiled. "Have the Reed family send people here to join forces with Jacob and Reginald's teams to investigate the entire city. I want to know about everyone who has recently arrived.""What..." Ezra was taken aback, involuntarily sucking in a breath."Sir, this task is nearly impossible.""It's better than doing nothing."Austin shrugged and continued, "Also, have Vincent collaborate with the Clark family and the Cooper family in the capital to monitor the internet. If any new assassination orders regarding me appear, I want them tracked immediately
