Chapter 266
“Oh? Well, what are you waiting for then? We won’t be joining you to meet the assassin, but I’ll drive you to the hotel.” Victor was overjoyed. “Severin must’ve offended quite a lot of people, but if you didn’t hire. those assassins from earlier, then who did?”
A cunning look appeared in Jada’s eyes as she mulled over the possible people who could have hired the assassins from earlier. “I know! It must be Rufus! I heard that Rufus likes Diane too, and Severin offended. him before as well.”
“Haha, Severin’s lucky to be able to survive this long, but his days are numbered if he keeps offending everyone he meets. He’s overestimating himself if he thinks he can get away with offending both the Chavezes and the Horsfields!” Victor finally felt a lot less angry after hearing what Jada said.
When Jada arrived at the VIP room, Edward and Easton were already waiting there. Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.
“Hasn’t the assassin arrived yet?” Jada asked as she sat down.
“Not yet, but soon!” Edward answered.
Easton then nodded and said, “Edward just told me that the Shanahans secured two quotas for the project. It seemed your father wasn’t too happy about that and made some off-handed remarks about Severin, which then triggered Severin to punch your father in the face. Your family even lost the quota as a result. How’s your father right now? His injury isn’t serious, is it?”
Jada smiled bitterly. “He’s fine. It’s just a little nosebleed. Severin wouldn’t dare to be too violent!”
Jada then looked at Edward. “It’s a shame you left a little too early, Edward. You would’ve managed to see the thrilling fight if only you left about two or three minutes later!”
“Really? When the assassin called to inform me that the meet-up was on, I called the hotel to reserve a VIP room and came right away to order some food. Looks like I missed out on something exciting.” Edward chuckled.
Jada then said, “As soon as Severin and Diane left the hotel, three people ambushed Severin and wanted to assassinate him. Severin was too powerful though, and even though the first two assassins nearly killed him with their first attack, he dodged them easily and killed them on the spot. Then, this old man. came out of nowhere to try and kill him, but it was the old guy that ended up getting killed.”
“Severin killed all three of those people? They’re probably not very strong then!” Easton remarked with a
faint smile.
Jada shook her head. “Even though they were killed in the end, their speed was still relatively fast, more so than many other bodyguards. In particular, the young man and the young woman who attacked Severin first had synchronized so perfectly that you could immediately tell they were well- trained individuals. I initially assumed that they were the assassins we hired, and I only realized that they weren’t when Edward called me!”
Edward smiled and said, “I wonder who it was that hired them. Maybe they were reluctant to spend too much money and ended up hiring people who weren’t skilled enough. Otherwise, it could not have been possible for all three of them to be defeated so easily by Severin!”
Easton laughed too. “That’s true. Those assassins were hired by ordinary people, and they can never compare to a four stars assassin that you hired.”
Jada thought for a while, and said to the two of them, “I suspect that Rufus was the one who hired the
Edward nodded. “Now that you mention it, I remembered my bodyguard telling me that he saw Rufus trying to cause trouble with Severin. Unfortunately, Rufus’s bodyguard was beaten up and Rufus was forced to kneel and lick Severin’s shoes! Can you imagine how humiliating that is?”
“No way! Isn’t he the only son of a second-tier family? It makes sense that he’d want to send those. assassins to kill Severin after suffering such terrible humiliation!” Jada suddenly realized.
All of a sudden, there was a light knock on the door of the room.
“That should be the assassin we hired!” Edward said excitedly and stood up immediately.
