King's Awakening

Chapter 446: Chapter 446: Greedy Wolf and John!

Capital City, a quadrangle.

“Greedy Wolf, what’s going on? How could we have been exposed?” The prudent Greedy Wolf had detected an unusual scent right when the Four Great War Gods launched their joint operation.

John was somewhat puzzled. Everything seemed quiet and tranquil, didn’t it?

Now, the men from the White War Department had fully enclosed the Capital City, making it as impervious as an iron bucket.

Consequently, no petty thief would dare to seek their targets amidst this crisis.

Only the members of the Deathz organization had the audacity and capability to execute particular missions under such circumstances.

“There’s not enough time to explain; we must evacuate now. Not only might we have been exposed, but so might others!” Greedy Wolf said nervously.

What did you say?

Others might have been exposed too?

John felt a sense of disbelief; the Deathz organization was always discreet. Over the years, the War Department had troubled them countless times, about which they had lost count.

However, they had always escaped unscathed each time. Even if they had been discovered by the people at War Department, the ordinary masters were not their match.

“Don’t forget, those taking action this time are from the White War Department! Regardless of the Army Master, even the Four Great War Gods under him could kill us in a split second.” Greedy Wolf explained while marching along.

Despite hearing this, John still found it hard to accept.

“You’re too cautious. But, alright, we’ll retreat if you suspect danger,” John expressed.

Honestly, she had never liked working with Greedy Wolf. That guy was always a drag. While others in Deathz had temporary identities, Greedy Wolf was different – he really was a vagabond.

He had never changed since joining Deathz. No one had heard about him using the money he earned for luxuries or for leisure.

In Greedy’s Wolf’s world, women seemed to be non-existent.

Nevertheless, she had no means to object. After all, she was assigned by Yama himself to assassinate White Mitchell along with Greedy Wolf.

John, feeling reluctant, caught up with Greedy Wolf’s pace.

However, she felt a strong sense of impending danger as she approached the main door of the compound.

As a top assassin, she often possessed a premonition towards unknown threats.

That was what she was feeling right now.

What’s more, this intense threat was unprecedented. The feeling was soul-stirring, as if a Reaper was standing before her, and death was imminent.

This is bad!

Realizing the looming danger, John immediately wanted to alert Greedy Wolf, who was walking ahead of her.

Yet, if John could sense the danger, surely so could Greedy Wolf.

His reaction was even quicker, immediately performing a sideways roll to evade the threat.

“Greedy Wolf, you…”

Boom! John was intending to speak when a violent explosion cut her off.

Her first instinct was to dodge. However, the door blew outwards unexpectedly, hitting her directly.

After the massive bang, John was flung aside by the door. Next, with a heavy thud, she collided into a wall. The whole quadrangle shook as if an earthquake had struck.

Hiss!

John couldn’t help but gasp in pain. Every part of her body was writhing in agony. She felt like she was falling apart.

However, as a top-tier assassin, she swiftly took cover, even on the brink of death, prompted by her instincts.

After a swift roll, she hid behind a stone pillar, drawing out a gun from her waist.

With a couple of clicks, she reloaded, and John’s entire being tensed up.

“Greedy Wolf, look carefully, where is he?” John yelled before swiftly slipping behind another pillar, her eyes darting towards the doorway.

In response to her question, Greedy Wolf had already found a relatively safe corner, “Can’t see, he’s too fast, are you alright?”

Upon hearing this, John’s expression turned even more solemn, “I’ll live!”

Greedy Wolf became visibly infuriated upon hearing this, “Fuck, never thought we would become the prey after being lifetime hunters. White War Department, their reputation is well-deserved!”

“Greedy Wolf, what’s the matter with you? Making a joke at a time like this? Hurry and find him, or else we’ll die here today!” John urged, somewhat displeased.

Being a top-notch assassin, she could sense that, outside, there were not many individuals, possibly even just one.

However, the threat that this single person posed was terrifying.

The individual was a formidable threat, even more powerful than her and Greedy Wolf.

This was a difficult opponent!

John deduced, yet harbored no fear.

Assassins never fought face to face.

Provided they had enough time to prepare, they had an abundance of ways to eliminate the enemy.

“It’s indeed challenging. Yet, let’s hide well, and keep silent. If he dares to enter, he must not leave!” Greedy Wolf responded, clearly understanding the strength of the door-side threat and the necessary action despite not input from John.

Both individuals were top assassins, and even if they hadn’t cooperated much in the past, their combined abilities definitely led to results that were greater than the sum of their individual might.

At the moment, the opponent didn’t have many numbers, and it was an excellent opportunity for them to turn the tide.

They needed to resolve things quickly. Otherwise, once the people from White War Department were alerted, they would face imminent death as the larger forces arrived.

With this rationale in mind, Greedy Wolf and John began to obscure themselves, settling in different corners of the quadrangle.

Instantly, the quadrangle grew suspiciously quiet.

This silence was chilling and eerie.

At this precise moment, a young figure strutted casually into the courtyard, “Playing hide-and-seek? Is this the full might of the Deathz organization?”
