Married at First Sight (Serenity and Zachary) novel Chapter 462

Chapter 462 James stayed in the tree, not making a move.

However, he knew that the woman had failed her mission. Nothing awaited her except death.

This was perfect. He could have her join him, instead.

Nearby, behind a big tree.

The assassin still had her hand pressed to her wound, but blood poured out regardless,

She had been shot, and it had hit her artery. She did not have much time left. The masked man slowly followed her blood on the ground and arrived at the tree where the assassin was hiding behind. “You know the rules, May. A failed assassination means death, but it also depends on the circumstances. You could have lived if the enemy had not seen your face. You’ve been exposed, so according to our rules, you must die.”

The assassin walked away from the tree.

Her face was pale as she spoke slowly to the masked man in front of her. “All these years, I’ve done so much for the organization, but just because he saw my face, I have to die? That’s the Black Dragon we’re talking about. The success rate for killing him is less than one percent.”

“Rules are rules,” the man said coldly, then pointed the gun at her.

A silver needle shot out and embedded itself into the back of the man’s head. He slumped slowly to the ground.

Thud!

The leaves flew up, then floated back down again.

James approached slowly.

“Is that so?”

The assassin was doubtful.

In her line of work, there was a rule to never involve family.

This was her rule, but it was also their world’s rule.

Once the rule was violated, there would be no place for her in that world. James examined her. “I’m curious,” he said. “What organization are you from?” She could not return to her organization anymore after today. They would only send people after her, anyway. At this point, there was no reason for her to keep them a secret. “I’m May Argentum. I’m a member of the Dark Castle, and one of their three SSS-ranked assassins.”

The Dark Castle?” (Yes.”
