Life After Prison

Jada, however, immediately said to Edward, “We’ve already paid so much money, Edward. Shouldn’t it be okay for us to meet this assassin? We want to know if they’re up to the job!”.

Easton immediately agreed. “Yeah, Edward! Let us meet the assassin. We’ll feel more reassured that way!”

“Are you both saying that you doubt the abilities of a four stars assassin?” Edward frowned and asked coldly.

“No, not at all! It’s just…the money we paid is no small amount, and I don’t think it’s that big of a deal to meet the assassin since we’re employing them anyway,” Jada protested.

Their determination left Edward with no choice but to

acquiesce. “Okay, okay. I’ll make arrangements and contact. you once he arrives!” All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

“Thanks for your trouble!” Jada smiled.

After finishing their meal, they handed Edward the money to hire the assassin and left. When they were all gone, Edward immediately requested the presence of the bodyguard who was in charge of contacting the organization. “Hey, Kai. How much did you say it cost to hire a four stars assassin?”

Kai immediately took out his cell phone and sent a link to Edward. “I’ve just sent you a link, sir. You may click in and have a look. There’s an option to hire whichever one you think

is the best, and you’ll see that there’s a list with rankings too. Those on the ranking list are very expensive though, and they’re all elite individuals from an organization called the Dragon Slayers!”

After Edward clicked on the link, he selected the “four stars assassin” column and looked at the accompanying caption. ” The cost of hiring one of them is one and a half million only? Well, I’ll be damned! They gave me three million, which means I’d have half of that sum left over if I hire one of these four-stars! I didn’t think I’d earn that much!”

Kai knew that Edward had swindled the group of their money and could not help but remark with a grin, “Well, sir, a three stars assassin costs only a quarter of what those folks paid you, so if you hire one of them, you stand to earn an even bigger chunk of money! Those three-stars are pretty strong too!”

However, he did not expect Edward to shake his head in

disapproval. “I can’t do that. I’m worried that the three-star won’t be a match for Severin. After all, my main target is to ensure that he disappears as soon as possible!” Edward then paused for a moment before continuing, “And besides, it’ll be

easier for them to know that I’m cheating them of their

money if I hired a three-star when they gave the money to me to hire a four-star. I still think hiring a four-star is the way to go. At least they won’t suspect me of having pulled a fast one on them if they meet the assassin!”

“You’re right. That’s very smart of you, sir!” Kai nodded.

Edward browsed through the list and finally decided on one of the assassins. Once his decision had been made, he transferred the money to the other party.

Severin had already returned home by then, and as soon as he set foot in the living room, Maurice could not help but

complain to him, “Hey, Severin, perhaps you should terminate the employment of those six bodyguards. I’m not used to their presence at all!”

Maurice’s complaints could not help but prompt Severin into asking, “What’s wrong, Dad? Did they do something wrong?”

“No, nothing of the sort,” Maurice replied. He then said helplessly, “The main issue is that they always insist on following me whenever I leave the house. I feel awkward when them around. Just yesterday I went fishing with a friend of

mine, and two of the girls tagged along too. You have no idea how embarrassed I was! Those who know me think that I’m

out with a lover, and they’re probably laughing at me and

saying that I’m the sort of guy who likes to fool around with women half my age!”

Severin smiled wryly and said, “But this is for your safety, Dad. It’ll take some time to get used to it, but you’ll be fine

eventually. After all, we’re a rich family now, and I’m worried that you might be at risk of danger when you’re out of the home. Don’t forget that there’s still Easton and his friends. We might not have seen him around recently, but who knows

what’s he been doing behind the scenes!”

In reality, Severin had given some careful thought to the assassin he met when he was on the way home. If it was not Easton who hired them, then it had to be Jada-whoever it was, Severin was certain that they were the ones behind it.

Therefore, Severin felt that it was necessary to have the bodyguards accompany his parents and wife all the time, just in case one of those people would attack his family.
