Even though Jonah Rivers looks like he’s about to propose right now.
How could that be possible?
Before, she tormented Jonah so much that unless he’s a masochist, there’s no way he’d propose to her in this lifetime.
It must be poison, whips, electric batons, or maybe even guns. ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ novel⟡fire.net
After all, she’s an SSS-level target. If it’s so easy to kill her, then there must be some intricate method involved.
Like being sliced a thousand times, and still being alive by the last cut—that’s in line with the prestige of an assignment of this level.
While Raina North was lost in thought, Jonah Rivers suddenly walked towards her with a large rectangular paper box in his arms.
Raina looked at Jonah getting closer and closer, feeling anxious. How could Jonah be this fast? If she just had a little more time to check his weapons, even thirty seconds would be enough for her to cut the ropes binding her hands with a scalpel.
Although she couldn’t match Jonah’s skills, escaping wasn’t a problem.
Once she left the dam and reached elsewhere, even if Jonah caught up with her, she wouldn’t back down. She wasn’t a helpless little rabbit.
But who would have thought she was still too slow.
Under normal circumstances, Raina should try her best to break free, not giving up until the last moment.
However, she was stunned by Jonah’s actions.
When Jonah stood in front of her, suddenly countless fireworks lit up the pitch-black sky behind the dam.
Jonah walked up to her with long strides amid the dazzling fireworks, presenting the rectangular box to her.
Raina saw that the rectangular box was nothing other than a bunch of fiery red roses.
The petals of the roses were covered in dew, fresh and beautiful as if just plucked from the branch.
Raina was utterly dumbfounded, looking as foolish as a second-rate fool.
Suddenly she was terrified.
Jonah Rivers, this is Nightfall’s top assassin, known as The Asura, how could he be associated with something like roses?
So these roses are definitely not just roses, but some kind of new weapon.
She remembered when she first arrived at Nightfall, the instructor in charge of their training once said that bringing a knife or a gun to assassinate isn’t what an assassin does; that’s the work of a thug.
A true assassin must understand the art and be knowledgeable.
Ordinarily, those worthy of being targeted by someone from Nightfall are not average people and are heavily guarded by tight security, making it impossible to take them down with brute force alone.
The best way is to first become friends with the target. And the best way to become friends is to align with their interests, so to speak meaningfully, they had to learn countless skills, sometimes starting to lay a groundwork six months or even a year in advance.
Jonah Rivers became Nightfall’s top assassin, so it’s hardly surprising if he invented some new weapon to accomplish missions more effectively.
"Jonah, if you can’t tell me who wants me dead, you can at least tell me what these rose-like things are as a weapon, right?" Seeing Jonah staying silent, Raina couldn’t help but add, "Why won’t you speak? Is it a weapon that can’t be revealed? You’re not that petty, are you?"
Raina couldn’t help but glare at Jonah with an expression that seemed to say, "I was wrong about you."
Jonah took a deep breath, slowly bent his legs, then knelt on one knee in front of her...
