Hero
The wolf-faced man had decided to spare lives today out of respect for Gladiel. After all, these three
assassins werenât targeting him.
At that moment, Angela stared at the wolf-faced man. She was stunned by his tall and imposing
presence, with his dark hair billowing. She felt embarrassed as she remembered calling him a coward
earlier.
âD*mn it! Letâs attack together and take down this b*stard!â Bloodthirsty Stinger yelled angrily. He was
eager to team up with the Ghost against Emmanuel.
Meanwhile, Gladiel sighed and refrained from joining the assault. She considered the two men foolish
for not realizing the opponentâs strength. After all, fighting Emmanuel was like courting death.
âWatch out, Hero!â Stanley warned. He knew those two assassins were tough, and their combined
forces were not to be trifled with. Stanley was no match for them earlier, and he worried for the wolf-
faced man..
Yet, to his astonishment, the wolf-faced man easily navigated the onslaught. Despite being assailed
from both sides, the wolf-faced man emerged unscathed.
Whack!
Whack!
The wolf-faced man used a basic martial arts move to knock down the two assassins in a row.
Stanley gasped in disbelief when he realized the extent of the wolf-faced manâs strength. He
understood that if the wolf-faced man had unleashed his full power, the outcome could have been fatal
for the two Redback Assassins.
âGet lost!â
The wolf-faced man had no intention of escalating the situation into a deadly encounter. His reasons
were twofold: he aimed to avoid attracting unwanted attention in Onza with a murder, and he also held
a level of respect for Gladielâs reputation.
Though slightly injured, Ghost rose to his feet. He realized that leaving empty-handed would be too
embarrassing So, when he saw the wolf-faced man approaching Stanley, Ghost seized the opportunity
and used a metal wire to strangle Angela. His plan was simple: take a hostage first and, if unsatisfied,
resort to killing.
âAngela, watch out!â Stanley realized Ghostâs intentions too late. He couldnât protect his granddaughter
at all.
At that moment, she sensed the imminent threat of death. Her scalp tingled as confusion briefly
clouded her mind.
Swoosh!
At a critical juncture, several silver needles suddenly appeared in the night sky, severing the metal wire
used for strangulation.
âHow⦠how is this possible?!â Ghost was incredulous. His military-grade wire, nearly impervious to
ordinary blades, was effortlessly cut by common silver needles. He pondered the opponentâs internal
strength with astonishment.
âIf you were allowed to leave and donât take it, you might as well stay!â
The wolf-faced man hated seeing others bully the weak in battle. In a fit of anger, he struck Ghost with
his palm.
The esteemed Redback Assassinsâ newly promoted top-six fighter didnât stand a chance. With just one
swift move, he was killed that night.

The evening breeze tousled Angelaâs dark hair as she looked at the man who had saved her. Though
not strikingly beautiful, her face had a certain purity and elegance. Her eyes sparkled with infatuation
as she admired him, thinking, Heâs so handsome and cool! How can there be such a powerful man in
the world? If heâs from my family, that would be amazing!
The wolf-faced man glanced at her briefly; it was just a quick look.
Without any apparent emotion, he turned away before Angela could even meet his eyes. He instructed
Gladiel, âGo and gather his body.â With that said, he returned to the car parked behind.
Gladiel seemed annoyed and resentful, pouting like a sulking child. She didnât utter a word, but her
expression conveyed her frustration. She couldnât help but think, Why do I always run into this man
whenever my missions go wrong since joining the Redback Assassins? Have we been enemies in past
lives?
Despite the mask, his actions and glances were distinct to her, especially his unromantic demeanor,
which she found unmatched.
âHey, hero!â Angela wanted to thank the wolf-faced man for saving her and her grandfather, but he had
already driven off. âYeringhamâs license plate?â She quickly remembered the number, hoping it would
help her find her rescuer later.
Soon after, a convoy of seven or eight cars sped toward her from the opposite direction. It was the S
familyâs bodyguard team.
Gladiel snorted disdainfully, ignoring the injured Bloodthirsty Stinger and leaving Ghostâs body behind.
She to retreat alone since she wasnât the missionâs leader.
