Chapter 46

The heavy object that had fallen onto the car was the sound of Killer Queen landing on the vehicle.

In that instant, Killer Queen had transformed the car into a bomb.

However, Frankski could not perceive the existence of Killer Queen.

Ron glanced at Killer Queen and then at Frankski.

"A reinforcement-type user who can't even use Gyo?"

"Honestly, he's worse than some of the rookie competitors at the Sky Arena."

Frankski lunged at Ron.

"Limbs Curved!"

Ron merely shifted slightly, and multiple afterimages appeared. Frankski had no idea which was Ron's real body.

"Pfft!"

Ron executed a precise chop with his hand.

His fingernail sliced through Frankski's throat.

Blood gushed out.

"You're a bit unlucky; you got the news just a little too late."

Ron took a picture, recorded it, and tossed Frankski's body into a pile of garbage.

He then uploaded the photo.

Not long after, Ron received another one hundred million Jenny.

One must admit that the efficiency of payment in the assassin business is quite high after completing a task.

There were no delays.

"This money came a lot easier than I expected."

Ron previously had no concept of assassin tasks.

This was his first time taking on such a mission.

Zeno didn't say much; he kept repeating the rules of the Zoldyck family to Ron.

Additionally, Milluki reacted quite strongly, surprised that Ron had accepted such a high-paying task, feeling it might be a bit dangerous for him.

"But in reality, this task is well within my capability."

"No, it's not just within my capability."

"It's somewhat easy."

Cole wasn't even a Nen user.

Frankski was merely at the level of a rookie competitor.

Even if the other three were stronger, their abilities were likely limited as well.

"One person, one hundred million Jenny—now that I think about it, it doesn't seem like much."

"I was a bit misled before."

"There are too many low-paying tasks on those assassin websites."

"But that's because there are many assassins with inferior strength."

"However, I am among the top tier of assassins."

"In this world, the number of Nen users isn't that high."

Ron's figure flickered and vanished.

"One person, one hundred million Jenny tasks pose no challenge for me."

"The tasks I take should be known by Grandpa Zeno. If they were difficult for me, he would definitely stop me."

"Interestingly, to obtain the qualification to enter level 200, the Zoldyck family members all earn two hundred million Jenny."

"It's not uncommon for rookie assassins to earn one hundred million Jenny."

"Next time, I can take on a higher-paying assassin task."

"Completing a goal of one billion Jenny in one shot."

Ron took out a map.

He looked at the marked location of the fourth death row inmate, Killian.

After hesitating for a moment, he called Milluki.

"Ron?"

"Has Killian's location changed?"

"No, he's still at that hotel."

"Alright."

Ron hung up the phone.

"This is a bit strange."

"Even Frankski got the news and wanted to move, and he had already moved once before. It makes no sense for Killian not to have received the news."

"This possibility is quite low."

"Or does Killian think I'm not his match?"

"Could it be that Killian is much stronger than Frankski and Cole?"

Ron was uncertain about the other two since, until now, Milluki still hadn't provided him with any information on their locations.

This meant that Milluki hadn't obtained the information himself.

A successful intelligence agent always has their own network of information.

It's not just about going online.

It involves having numerous connections.

Through these connections, they gather, inquire, and compile intelligence.

The fact that Milluki could quickly obtain information about the five death row inmates indicates that his intelligence network is quite strong.

Logically, the third and fifth death row inmates shouldn't be hiding much better than the others.

"There's definitely something wrong here."

However, Ron didn't stop.

Instead, he continued to head towards the city where the fourth death row inmate, Killian, was located.

This time, Ron took an airship.

Because the distance was quite far.

Three days later.

Ron disembarked from the airship.

He took a taxi to a small town.

According to the information obtained by Milluki, Killian was in this town.

This was the hometown of Killian's former lover.

"Ding dong!"

Just as he got out of the car, a message was sent to Ron's phone.

"Killian has left the town and headed to Rulude Village, going up the mountain."

Ron slightly raised an eyebrow.

"Why go up the mountain now?"

"Did he find out I was coming?"

"Is this deliberate?"

Suddenly, Ron thought of a possibility.

That is, the other two death row inmates might not be hiding well at all.

Instead, they could be close to Killian.

Through Killian, they were concealing their presence.

Now, they had formed an ambush against Ron.

In a valley, Killian sat on a rock.

Opposite him were two figures.

One was tall and bald.

It was Kaike.

The other figure was much smaller, thin, and exuded a chilling aura.

"Cole and Frankski are missing."

Killian said, "It's highly likely they've met with misfortune. I didn't expect that among the prison personnel, there would be a few capable ones who could take them both out."

Ryu shook her head.

"Doesn't seem like they're from the prison."

"Then who are they?"

"Before coming here, I saw bounties for us posted on the Assassin Commission website."

Kaike squinted his eyes.

"So, the ones who killed Cole and Frankski weren't prison personnel, but assassins?"

Killian revealed a smile.

"Looks like we've run into our fellow professionals?"

Ryu glanced at the two and said, "This person is no weakling."

"Being able to find Cole and Frankski's locations in such a short time and kill them so quickly proves this is a professional team with high skill levels."

"That's why I wanted to head up the mountain."

"In this place, we have the geographical advantage."

"Even if the opponent is stronger than us, we still have a chance to win here."

Ryu paused for a moment.

"I've set up traps. Regardless of whether they work, at least they can delay things a bit."

"The outcome will ultimately depend on the three of us."

"Kaike, you'll handle the frontal assault."

Kaike nodded.

"Not a problem. The opponent is likely a Nen user as well, but I am a reinforcement type, which strengthens my body. Even if their overall strength exceeds mine, I can hold them off."

Ryu then looked at Killian.

"Killian, you'll provide support from the side."

"Okay."

"And as for me," Ryu said, "I will wait for the right moment to deliver a lethal strike!"
