Chapter 555:

The assassin’s ability to wield control and turn cards into deadly weapons was a testament to his exceptional skills. It was not something an ordinary assassin could do. Ashton had to admit that this assassin was worthy of a high position in the Dark Night Organization.

Ashton felt that Fraser was determined to take his life this time. Ashton raised an eyebrow in surprise, impressed by the assassin’s technique. But it wasn’t just him—the assassin, Red Jack, was even more astonished.

Red Jack had always prided himself on the speed and accuracy of his card throws. He often boasted that they could rival bullets. However, Ashton had managed to evade eight cards in succession. This was something he had never encountered in his entire career as an assassin. He was visibly shaken by the scene.

Red Jack had been watching Ashton closely, studying his movements and reactions. He thought he had accurately gauged Ashton’s strength and abilities, so he seized the opportunity to strike.

To his surprise, Ashton was not only incredibly strong; his speed was also beyond his expectations.

Red Jack was caught off guard, struggling to comprehend how Ashton had evaded his attacks so effortlessly. He realized his once unshakeable confidence began to erode with each of Ashton’s evasive maneuvers.

Because of this, he became more ruthless and impatient. He unleashed a flurry of card throws with blinding speed, his eyes burning with killing intent.

Although Ashton’s speed was impressive, he never found an opportunity to counterattack. Red Jack skillfully maintained the distance between them, preventing Ashton from getting close to him.

But how long would Red Jack be able to keep releasing cards? Ashton was well aware that the assassin’s supply of cards was limited. If the assassin continued attacking him, he would eventually run out of cards. This would give Ashton the chance to strike back.

Although Ashton thought of this, he quickly realized something was amiss.

As he gradually understood Red Jack’s movements, he realized the assassin was deliberately guiding him toward a certain direction.

So, while dodging, he mentally mapped out Red Jack’s route. Sure enough, he discovered an inconspicuous small bag in the direction he was being led toward.

With this realization, Ashton immediately changed his strategy. Instead of trying to approach Red Jack while dodging his attacks, he quickly moved back to his original position.

Although Ashton wasn’t sure whether the bag was a trap, he knew any misstep could be fatal.

At this moment, Red Jack also noticed that Ashton was no longer moving toward the direction he had been guiding him. Suddenly, he felt a chill run through him.

In such a dangerous situation, Ashton had still detected his strategy. This only proved that Ashton was an opponent beyond his current capability.

Since his plan had failed, Red Jack acted decisively, carrying out Plan B. He swiftly pressed the detonator, his fingers trembling slightly. Although Ashton was some distance away from the bomb, the explosion’s force could still inflict injuries on him, allowing Red Jack to retreat.
