Chapter 499 - God Is an Old Black Man?

Chapter 499 G.o.d Is an Old Black Man?

Luke nodded blankly, as if he was overwhelmed.

But after the woman disappeared, Luke’s expression suddenly changed and he began to chuckle.

System: You have defeated Mr. X and have received a list of his abilities.

Mr. X’s abilities: Basic Firearms, Basic Combat… Physical Outburst (conferred by the Fraternity), Curve Shooting (conferred by the Fraternity).

How could he not follow the man after receiving such a notification?

Compared with the missing DEA informant, Luke felt that he could take time out to have a look; even just watching the show would be fun.

Tracking them by their scents in the air, Luke ran swiftly and left the busy main street to enter a small, desolate lane.

The only light here was from the houses. Most of the lane was dark, and there was only one dusky street lamp in the distance.

Luke stopped at a corner and stuck out a mirror to look at the two people in the distance.

The man in black had his back to Luke while the black-haired beauty was facing him. Their guns were both down as they talked.

“X, why are you here?” asked the black-haired beauty.

The man in black sounded as cold as he appeared. “Rebecca, n.o.body can leave the Fraternity without permission, not even you!”

As it turned out, the black-haired Latino beauty was Rebecca from the Fraternity.

Luke had acquired Physical Outburst and Curve Shooting from her.

At that moment, Rebecca smiled. “I’m just here on vacation. How can this be considered leaving the group?” Her smile was mocking.

After a brief silence, Mr. X said, “You killed Wolf Elsworth when we specifically told you not to. You then secretly escaped to Brazil to avoid us. Rebecca, you broke the rules!”

Rebecca was still smiling, but her expression turned cold. “Is that so? Your rule is that a person can’t be killed if he isn’t on the list, even though he killed my sister and many other innocent girls?”

Mr. X said, “Rules are rules. From the day you joined us, you knew that whoever breaks the rules has to die.”

Rebecca asked, “Then who’s in charge of the list? X, you don’t know, do you?”

Mr. X replied indifferently, “Everything is preordained. The list is G.o.d’s decree.”

Rebecca suddenly burst out laughing. “Sorry, but I didn’t know that G.o.d is an old black man who moonlights as a hitman in our world.” Mr. X’s expression changed. “That’s blasphemy against the Fraternity.” “Aren’t you the ones blaspheming against G.o.d? Do you know how I discovered your secret? Your last mission for me was to a.s.sa.s.sinate a minor detective who p.i.s.sed off Wolf Elsworth’s nephew.” Rebecca stopped laughing.

She said coldly, “It just so happened that the detective had a simple resume, so it only took me several days to thoroughly check him out; perhaps the only thing he ever did wrong was to refuse Wolf Elsworth’s bribe. Do you have anything to say about that?”

After a brief silence, Mr. X said slowly, “What I want to say is, a lamb should never challenge the wolf’s authority.”

With that, he raised his gun.

Bam! Bam!

Almost at the same time, Rebecca raised her hand and pulled the trigger.

Bang! Bang!

Both of them turned into blurry shadows as they flitted swiftly through the dark lane in irregular patterns, firing wildly at each other.

In less than two seconds, their battle had moved to the buildings on the roadside.

They jumped nimbly through the narrow s.p.a.ces between the buildings and made all sorts of feints.

Five seconds later, the gunfire abruptly stopped. Almost at the same time, they landed on the rooftop of a three-story building face to face. Rebecca said, “X, any last words?” She dropped the PPK in her hand and drew out a Safari Arms Matchmaster[1] from her back. Mr. X dropped the Beretta 925 in his hand and said as casually as ever, “There’s only one Firefox. If she was the one holding this gun, I can only wait to die, but you aren’t as good as she is.”

Saying that, he suddenly charged forward as he drew out a pistol with an exceptionally long barrel from under his arm.

Bang!

The gun in Rebecca’s hand fired again.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! But she suddenly yelled as she felt a stabbing pain in her right ankle. Mr. X’s last shot had hit her.

Then Mr. X’s malicious grin was in her face, and he grabbed her right hand and yanked it up.

Bang!

Mr. X punched her in the stomach with his other hand. “That’s why you should never ever betray the Fraternity! You haven’t learned the Bladesmith’s fighting abilities yet! Why do you think you can defeat me?”

Rebecca suddenly lost all her strength.

As an a.s.sa.s.sin from the Fraternity and the person who had groomed and trained her, Mr. X knew her abilities and weaknesses too well.

If she hadn’t managed to inadvertently shoot him earlier on, and if Mr. X’s sight wasn’t affected by the blood on his face, she never would’ve fought him in a head-on clash.

But she still lost.

Too many images flashed through her head, but she didn’t feel much fear or anger.

She had somehow gotten lost when she was young. On her eighteenth birthday, Mr. X appeared and recruited her into the Fraternity.

After several years of learning and completing missions, she became an official a.s.sa.s.sin of the Fraternity with the codename “Redback.”

She had thought that the rest of her life would just be like that, unless she died during a mission.

But one day, she ran into the sister whom she hadn’t seen for years.

She couldn’t explain that spiritual connection; she just knew that the girl was her sister.

Then, after engineering all sorts of coincidental meetings, she became her sister’s best friend, and they were very close.At that time, she felt that she could live an even happier life; even if she died, she could leave a fortune for her sister.

But her sister’s sudden death changed everything Almost driven crazy by her sister’s death, Rebecca went all out in her investigation and uncovered many abnormalities and found a lot of evidence.

While the evidence wasn’t conclusive, it was good enough for her.

After killing the culprits, William Johnson and Wolf Elsworth, she chose to change her name and flee to another country.

She knew that she couldn’t handle the Fraternity.

As an official a.s.sa.s.sin with a codename in the Fraternity, she was something of an elite.

However, there were more than twenty official a.s.sa.s.sins with codenames in the Fraternity, and the best of them were too strong for her to handle, such as Mr. X, who had brought her into this line of work; Cross, who was best at schemes and extreme long-distance sniping; and Firefox, who was the number one female a.s.sa.s.sin.
