Chapter 1080

Behind his mask, Jason’s expression was hidden, but the slight smile on his lips was full of contempt. “You traveled all this way to assassinate someone without doing proper research first? You don’t even know who I am, yet you’re bold enough to make threats?” He placed special emphasis on the final words, and a dangerous energy seemed to radiate from his entire body. An unnatural chill spread through the air, as if the temperature had dropped several degrees.

Katrina had initially written Jason off as just another bodyguard, but the commanding tone of his voice made her spine tingle with involuntary fear. Suddenly, he seemed less like a man and more like an angel of death. Had she gravely underestimated him?

“Tell me who you are,” Katrina demanded, though her voice now lacked some of its earlier arrogance.

This time, Jason decided to answer her question. “Jason Evans.”

Jason Evans? The name hit Katrina and her team of assassins like a physical blow to the stomach. Jason rarely appeared in public, so very few people had ever actually seen his face. But his reputation was legendary throughout the criminal underworld. Everyone had heard stories about the “Guardian of the Evans Family.” Katrina couldn’t believe the man standing before her was actually that same terrifying figure from the stories. She craned her neck, trying to peer through a gap in the line of bodyguards. In the distance, she saw Elliana and Cole already climbing the steps to board their private jet.

If she wanted any chance of reaching Elliana tonight, she would have to break through the defensive wall that Jason commanded. But Jason wouldn’t be defeated easily, and she knew it. Katrina had never actually fought against Jason before, but his reputation alone was enough to make her cautious. Even if she somehow managed to beat him, it would be a brutal, drawn-out battle. Killing Elliana tonight was now impossible.

Damn it! She had spent weeks preparing for this moment, bringing the Serpent Society’s most elite and deadly assassins with her. But she had failed to account for Jason’s presence, and that oversight was going to cost her everything. Today was the deadline Maxine had given her. If she failed to eliminate Elliana tonight, by tomorrow morning, she would lose her position as the Griffiths family heiress. Once that title was taken away from her, she would be completely vulnerable to all the enemies she had made over the years.

Despite the hopeless odds, she had no other choice but to take the risk.

Clenching her jaw, Katrina gave the final order. “Attack them!”

The assassins hesitated for a moment, clearly stunned by the command. Charging head-on against someone like Jason, who was backed up by dozens of Evans family elite guards, was basically ordering them to commit suicide. But when they looked at Katrina’s face, they could see she was completely serious about this desperate gamble. As top-level assassins of the Serpent Society, absolute obedience was the most important rule they lived by. No matter how reckless or suicidal an order might seem, even if it meant charging straight into their own graves, they had to follow their leader’s command.

After a brief moment of tense silence, the black-clad assassins suddenly launched themselves forward in a coordinated assault that would determine all of their fates.
