Without hesitation, he was about to exit the app when, at last, a voice urgently sounded: "Asura, wait a moment."
Jonah Rivers paused, expressionless, as he looked at his contact, and coldly said: "Wes, you should know the rules of Nightfall."
Nightfall’s assassin organization has a principle: as long as the money is enough, even the business of assassinating a country’s president can be accepted.
However, for safety reasons, except for the contact, others are not allowed to know the identity of the assassin executing the mission.
The contact said: "Of course I’m aware of the rules, but the employer provided a lot of money. Moreover, the only condition is to issue the mission face-to-face, you know I can’t refuse."
Jonah Rivers cursed his contact in his mind, thinking how for a bit of money, he dared to sell out his cash cow!
Although cursing fiercely, Jonah knew well that it wasn’t just a little money, and in their organization, as long as the payment was sufficient, even the leader could be assassinated, let alone just meeting him. Fresh chapters posted on NoveI★Fire.net
Despite knowing this, Jonah was still very displeased, with a cold face: "You have ten minutes."
The contact sighed in relief, earlier he really feared Jonah would refuse, leaving him with no way to explain.
Jonah shifted his gaze to the man in the video, with a solemn expression: "I wonder what mission Emperor Hades intends to issue?"
Their organization is called Nightfall, and typically missions are categorized into four levels—A, B, C, and D based on importance and difficulty. These are ordinary missions, beyond which are three higher levels—S, SS, and SSS.
From the inception of Nightfall to now, nearly a century later, SSS-level missions have appeared only nine times.
The members who executed those nine missions, the first eight times were completely annihilated, only three years ago did he return alive from an SSS-level mission with The Rakshasa, but The Rakshasa nearly lost her life; if not for her great fortune, she wouldn’t have survived.
The Rakshasa was also able to leave the organization due to the successful completion of the last mission.
Thinking of the insanity of SSS missions, every nerve in Jonah Rivers was tense.
Under Jonah’s gaze, Corvus Hades leisurely spoke: "I heard you have a good relationship with The Rakshasa. If you could execute this mission together..."
"I can complete this mission myself without any burdens." Jonah promptly refused.
Now that Nina has left the organization and found another life, she need not ever return. Although she is wildly unpredictable, ultimately, she doesn’t belong to Nightfall, and doesn’t belong to this boundless night.
Corvus Hades cast his eyes on Jonah for a while, then suddenly smiled: "Is The Rakshasa really a burden, or is there some other reason? That’s genuinely intriguing."
Jonah’s heart tightened, but his facial expression didn’t change at all. He said very impatiently: "Five minutes left. If Emperor Hades wants to waste this time on such trivial matters, feel free."
"Alright, since Asura is not willing to chat, I won’t force it. In that case, let’s get to the point. This time the target is Orion Rivers of The Celestial Alliance in The Umbral Zone."
Upon hearing this name, Jonah’s expression momentarily cracked, but only for an instant. He then coolly said: "Does Emperor Hades intend for Orion Rivers to die?"
"Of course not." Corvus Hades glanced at Jonah, with a look of ’how could you be so bloody and violent,’ continued: "Who in The Umbral Zone doesn’t know that Orion Rivers is the man I have my eyes on?"
Jonah had to admit, hearing Emperor Hades’ words, he breathed a sigh of relief. He was very worried that it was Emperor Hades wanting Orion Rivers’ life.
