Due to the rough terrain, Mr. Collins could barely fully utilize his capability because there were thorns, spines, and

prickles all along the bumpy trail.

Hence, he couldn’t catch up with the hitmen as he was no match for their speed.

However, the hitmen couldn’t shrug him off for the time being because the man was extremely persistent.

This whole time, the hitmen attempted to disperse and flee in different directions. However, Mr. Collins would never

allow it. Hence, he threw his sword at them and forced them back to their original escape route.

It was a race against time because the one who managed to outrun the other party would win the match.

By the time, the three hitmen passed by the straw-bale house, their eyes glinted frustratingly because their initial

plan was to assassinate Tourneau and his comrades in the middle of the night.

Once they completed the assigned mission, they would flee with the promised bounty. However, it seemed like their

plan had been brought to a halt abruptly.

They finally got out of the forest. As soon as they made it out of the woods, they followed the only available route

and rushed over to the river nearby.

The hitmen had always been excellent swimmers. Thus, they were certain they would be able to shrug Mr. Collins

off once they made it to the river.

Never would they have thought things would take another drastic turn because a man showed up out of nowhere in

front of them and got in their way.

Once again, their journey had been brought to a halt.

“Who are you?” -The leader of the hitmen took a deep breath and pulled himself together- “Please allow us to

leave. We’ll definitely return the favor to you in the near future.”

In return, Zeke replied indifferently, “I’m afraid that’s impossible because I’m here to kill all of you!”

“Does that mean you’re the accomplice of the one who has ambushed us previously? I don’t think we have

offended you previously. Why on earth are you coming after us?” The leader of the hitmen asked as he was utterly

confused.

“You guys have never offended me? It seems like you have no idea what sort of grudges I hold against all of you,

huh?” Zeke replied.

“Hey! Let’s cut the small talk!” -One of the hitmen urged- “His friend will catch up with us soon! We have to take

him out immediately! Otherwise, we won’t make it out unscathed if we’re trapped in between them once his friend

joins him!”

“You’re right! Let’s get him!” The leader of the hitmen stopped hesitating and instructed.

Immediately, they reached for their daggers and dashed towards Zeke.

In spite of the upcoming threat, Zeke held his ground and stood right where he was in anticipation of their arrival.

All of a sudden, Zeke thundered, “Get down on your knees!”

The man’s deafening voice laced with an overbearing pressure.

It echoed throughout the forest and caused chaotic changes in the flow of air nearby.

Consequently, a strong rush of wind gusted through the trees in the forest and the stream. Within a few seconds,

the temperature of the surrounding environment dropped.

The hitmen could no longer pull themselves together because they detected an intimidating presence that had

completely crushed their minds and soul.

Subconsciously, they cast their weapons aside and got down on their knees as instructed.

What a powerful man!

He’s nothing like any of the targets we have come across in our lives!

No! He ain’t a human, right? A human can’t possibly exude such a horrifying presence.

He must be a divine being.

On the other hand, Mr. Collins finally caught up with them. He panted and warned, “Damn it! Run from me if you

can! Why don’t you guys take me on all at once, cowards?”

In return, Zeke asked as he frowned, “There should be four hitmen, right? Why are there only three as of now?”

“One of them has been taken out by me,” Mr. Collins told Zeke the truth.

Damn it!

All of a sudden, Zeke’s expression changed. He removed one of the hitmen’s top immediately and noticed the chip

the hitman had attached nearby his heart.

“What’s wrong?” -Mr. Collins asked in a serious note- “What on earth is this miniature device?”

“It’s a heart rate monitor chest strap.” -Zeke explained- “Once you take out any one of them, the device will

transmit a signal to the one who has engaged their service. Perhaps the mastermind is aware something bad has

befallen them by now.”

Damn it!

“If that’s the case, what should we do?” Mr. Collins got anxious all of a sudden.

“Don’t worry! We’ll lure the mastermind out and take him out altogether with them!” Zeke reassured Mr. Collins.

As soon as he had everything sorted out, he turned around and cast a stern gaze at the hitmen.

Currently, the remaining three hitmen were engulfed by horror and despair. They had yet to return to their usual

self.
