The assassin exclaimed in shock and anger, "We've already paid you, you said you would let us go, are you going to break your promise?!"
The others looked at John with eyes full of wariness and fury.
If John truly reneged on his word, their losses would be substantial.
To their relief, however, John shook his head.
He said, somewhat helplessly, "What are you thinking? If I said I'd let you go after taking the money, I definitely will. The reason I told you not to be in such a rush to leave is because I want to propose a deal to you."
Upon hearing John's words, everyone paused in unison, taken aback.
Benedict, watching from above, suddenly had a bad premonition.
"This kid isn't planning another cunning move, is he?"
At the bridgehead, while the group sighed in relief, curiosity also piqued.
The shirtless assassin asked, puzzled, "What deal?"
John held up two fingers, a sly smile on his face.
