"Someone threatened me." Sean Knight didn't know what Elijah Hastings did, but he trusted him.
"What do you want me to do? Protect you?" Elijah Hastings frowned, "It's not impossible, but over here, I'm not familiar with the laws and regulations, and I can't carry a gun – "
He hesitated for a moment and said:
"Actually, I'm better at attacking."
Sean Knight thought for a moment and said:
"So, if I asked you to assassinate someone, could you do it?"
Elijah Hastings looked straight into Sean Knight's face:
"What kind of person is this...?"
Sean Knight thought this might involve Elijah Hastings' values, so he said:
"While you were gone these days, I was too. I went to an island to help this person hunt for treasure. Then, I found more than a dozen dead bodies on the island.
If it weren't for me helping him find part of the treasure, and two of his subordinates dying, maybe in the next week, I would die on this island too."
