The assassin ran as fast as he could. Even though he'd sprinted at high speed, his movements seemed slow to Ryan's eyes. Moreover, he had kicked the killer in the chest beforehand so the enemy was no longer at his peak. If Ryan couldn't catch up with the killer, he didn't deserve to be called Nergal.
The two people ran like demons. The killer took advantage of the dark corners of the road leading to the city center. Since Irina's residence was still relatively new, there were still few street lights and cars rarely passed by. Ryan pursued the killer with all his might. When the assassin looked back, the murderous aura from Ryan's eyes terrified him. The distance between them was close.
The assassin did not hesitate to bring the remaining energy into his legs and sped up even faster.
Ryan had almost caught the killer, only a few seconds until he succeeded. But the killer suddenly hijacked a car and threw out the person inside. He then immediately stepped on the gas and raced out of the scene.
Ryan frowned, 'No matter what you do, you are not going to escape today.'
The killer had no choice, his internal power was exhausted so he was forced to steal a car. Moreover, Ryan's killing aura really terrified him.
The killer immediately reached a speed of 120 km per hour. As he accelerated, he peeked through the side mirror and saw that no car was chasing him. He breathed a sigh of relief. However, a man's figure suddenly appeared chasing him from behind and slowly approached him.
Even at this speed, that person could still keep up? That person really was like a devil!
The killer started to panic. He didn't care about traffic signs and broke through all of them. Ryan was still chasing him in a tight gap. He even used the speed of another car to take a break.
In an instant, they reached East Campbell street. Ryan almost caught up with the car. However, the assassin suddenly took advantage of the blind spot after he turned and jumped out of the car. The car immediately hit the wall of one of the buildings at high speed.
"Argh!"
The pedestrians on the side of the road were shocked to see the accident. The killer took advantage of the crowd and ran as fast as he could.
Not seeing Ryan's footsteps after arriving in an alley, he sighed with relief. The killer then immediately clutched his injured chest and vomited a mouthful of blood.
"Nergal ... You are great." The killer felt that his target was beyond what he had imagined.
"I hope you still want to play with me." But suddenly, a voice came from above him. He looked up and saw Ryan on the roof of a building. The man looked relaxed as he put his hand in his pocket.
The killer immediately took a deep breath and admitted his fate that he could no longer escape. He stared coldly at Ryan as he reached out to his combat gear and pulled out a knife.
"Huh? Still want to fight? Don't regret your actions later." Ryan said.
At that moment, the killer threw a small ball at Ryan. It exploded and black smoke immediately spread out. In the midst of the smoke, a knife flew straight to Ryan's face.
The killer quickly launched his attack!
But unfortunately, the killer couldn't even touch his opponent. By the time he jabbed the knife out of the smoke's puff, Ryan was already grabbing his wrist and kicking it hard.
The killer fell and sprawled on the ground with his mouth continuously bleeding. Ryan slowly approached him. When the killer looked up, Ryan was already on top of him.
When he was about to take out the knife again, his opponent had already stepped on his hand and kicked the knife. He then turned around and stood up, but a hard fist was landed on his face and made him bounce back.
"Cough!" The killer did not give up and tried to get back up, but his legs had lost its strength.
"So this is the real power of Nergal? I really underestimated you." He said.
"Who sent you?" Ryan asked.
"You think I'll say it?" The killer smiled, "It's impossible for someone like us to sell our tenant's name."
"Then what can I do." Ryan put on a flat face.
"In Nergal's presence, no mouth dares not speak." He added.
"You want to torture me? My bones are harder than your fists!" Said the killer with a laugh.
Ryan didn't reply, he just clenched his right fist. He immediately landed a hard punch to the murderer's wrist and crushed his bone. The killer grimaced in an excruciating pain. Amazingly, he only gritted his teeth and didn't let out a single sound from his mouth.
Ryan remained the same. After he crushed the killer's wrist, he proceeded with his leg's bone. The killer endured Ryan's torment and said in a mocking tone, "Is this all that you got, Nergal from the 12 Aesirs?!!"
The man looked at him coldly, "I'm afraid you will die of shock after this."
When he heard that, the killer immediately had a pale face. Bad feelings began to fill his heart. Ryan then took out a small box from his pocket and took out his acupuncture needles. He then said in a serious tone, "I hope you can endure this pain... May your hard bones help you through it."
He stuck several needles into the killer's body and reaped a tortured growl in return.
"Arrrghhh!!!" The killer screamed as his body felt extremely hot and every drop of his blood boiled. He rolled around trying to escape the stinging pain.
"Who sent you?" Asked Ryan again.
Seeing the killer grit his teeth and refuse to tell him, Ryan took out a few more needles. The killer was still rolling around in pain as he felt his body burning hot. His opponent then held him and stabbed the needle in his neck.
When the needle was stuck, the assassin arched his body in a jolt. It felt as if his muscle and his entire body were being bitten by thousands of red ants. He also felt that every drop of blood on his body was being sucked dry as something was about to come out of his mouth.
The killer opened his mouth wide and his eyes widened before he finally fell to the ground again.
"Who sent you?" Ryan kept asking while sticking the needle again.
"Inferno! Mafia Dell'Inferno!" This killer could no longer stand the pain and spilled all the information he knew.
Mafia's Trap?
Ryan was shocked to hear that. He had never heard of the organization. If it were so strong that it could hire an assassin, they would've had a name in the underground world.
Ryan frowned and asked, "What organization is that?"
The killer was still in pain and shouted, "Pull out the needle! Pull it out!"
Ryan then pulled out some needles. The killer took this chance gasping for his breath as if he had traveled the world.
"So, what is Mafia Dell'inferno like?"
The killer then looked at Ryan with a little grin. With a gasping breath he said, "Too bad you never know."
Ryan felt a bad feeling when he heard that. He then channeled his inner strength into his hands and examined the killer's neck. With a jolt, the killer vomited out dentures.
"You're late!" The killer laughed loudly as black foam leaked out of his mouth.
His laughter didn't stop until the foam began to cover the killer's entire face. Ryan saw the killer wriggled in pain and his body became emaciated and rotted on the ground. Blood began to pool around his dead body!
Ryan then took the dentures that the killer vomited earlier and examined them, "Super acid poison?"
With just a drop of this acid, an elephant could die and its body could dissolve in an instant. This was a super poison. In order not to leak information when arrested, poison like this was usually given to assassins or spies. When they were caught, they just had to bite their dentures and die without giving any information.
What caught Ryan's attention was, the poison was often used by the Eclipse. He remembered that Eclipse gave this poison to his subordinates so he understood very well.
In just an instant, the killer drowned in his own blood. Ryan frowned as he walked away from the location. Dell'inferno must have something to do with the Eclipse.
Did the Eclipse manipulate Dell'inferno or did the Eclipse rent Dell'inferno for their personal use? Everything was still a puzzle and there were still pieces of information that still lacked.
He held the dentures in his palm and immediately crushed them with the help of his internal power. For now, he had to find information about the organization that hunted him—Mafia Dell'Inferno.
"Where did you hide, Eclipse?" Ryan muttered as he walked out of the alley. He felt that the Eclipse was monitoring him from within the city of Avalerion.
When he was about to go home, the side door of the building next to him opened!
A woman came out from the bar. Her path was ragged and she fell right into Ryan's arms!
