Chapter 31: Revenge
"These assassins, I never even took them seriously."
Henry smiled, a mocking look in his eyes. "Perhaps there is something I should tell you. I have been here for a while now. Long before Evil Shadow's people arrived. I controlled my soldiers and didn't make a move. I watched Evil Shadow sneak in sneakily and then grab you, cutting off your arms."
Master Miller was thunderstruck by his words and took a few steps back.
Not because Henry was indifferent to family ties, as he believed that such bonds were merely tools to be toyed with.
He was shocked that Henry had the capability to stop it, but chose not to, which meant Henry would continue to hold him accountable.
Completely going against the Miller family.
Simone also realized this and his face turned pale as he looked at the cold smile on Henry's face, a sense of foreboding filling his heart.
Next to him, Fabio asked on his behalf, "Henry, do you want to kill us?"
"Don't worry, I won't kill you," Henry replied calmly.
Master Miller quickly squeezed out a relieved expression. "That's good, that's good, my good grandson. I knew your heart still belonged to the Miller family."
Yet deep inside, he kept screaming in his mind, ‘Henry, you traitor! Once we survive this crisis, no matter the cost, the Miller family will kill you! How dare you watch me endure such humiliation... Henry, I will make you suffer!’
The concept of being his grandson had never surfaced in his mind.
Henry stared at Master Miller, seeing through his thoughts. He leaned close, whispering the rest of his words, "I won't kill you because death is too good for you. I will torment you relentlessly, let the Miller family decline, go bankrupt, and turn each one of you into stray dogs on the streets, unable to even find a dog's den!"
"You!" Master Miller's vision turned black, and he fainted.
Henry glanced casually, unwilling to waste too much time here.
Looking at the members of the Miller family without remorse, the ones who had their arms cut off were just initial interest. There were many more days to come.
"Prepare to face your death." Henry looked toward the Evil Shadow assassins hiding behind various obstacles in the distance, his voice indifferent.
The female captain of Evil Shadow couldn't help but laugh. "Kid, you must not think you can deal with us, the Evil Shadow assassins, with just the ordinary soldiers behind you, right?"
"The soldiers I've killed alone would probably exceed what you've seen on the battlefield," Henry replied calmly.
"Living still has its chances, while death leaves you with nothing," Simone exclaimed, filled with fear, as he remembered the Miller family.
Henry wanted to settle the score and torture them instead of killing them directly. It's uncertain what Evil Shadow would do.
After the confrontation ends and Henry's men are killed, they might not spare the Miller family either. Simone realized the importance of staying alive and had to remind Henry.
"Henry, quickly disperse your men! After investigating the Evil Shadows when they were informed, I found that each assassin is highly skilled, and is elusive like ghosts. Their bullets may be within reach, but the shooter's eyes and wrists won't be."
Henry acknowledged him, but Stefano fiercely glared at Simone, saying, "Shut up fool! We've already destroyed their headquarters. These killers are mere pests we can step on."
The captain was shocked and recalled the previous contact failure with the boss, a dreadful feeling engulfing her.
"I don't believe it. You're just bluffing! Brothers, kill these ordinary soldiers!"
In the courtyard, countless assassins instantly leaped into the air. Some swiftly scaled the walls, others jumped directly onto rooftops, and some slithered along the ground.
Their figures blurred, and in the blink of an eye, they crossed a distance of ten meters, their hands firmly holding silver needles.
"Oh no!" Simone's vision was overwhelmed. To him, these assassins were like ghosts, completely untraceable. It was terrifying, unless they used missiles, aiming a gun would be futile!
Simone despairingly roared, "Henry, it's all your fault! If you had set up defenses properly, there would still be hope. Now, the entire Miller family is ruined because of you!"
The captain moved with astonishing speed, lightly tapping the ground before soaring away in a zigzag pattern, creating afterimages.
"Let's see how you are going to shoot me!"
Her heart filled with pride, she glanced into the distance, and sure enough, the soldiers behind Henry were motionless, their guns held high. Although she couldn't see their expressions beneath their masks, the captain was certain they were all in shock.
Then, in the next second, the soldier’s arms holding the guns suddenly moved at lightning speed, aiming in various directions, including a few directly at the captain.
"Useless!" The captain sneered.
She swiftly shifted ten meters to the left, but the guns followed her every move. Her eyelid twitched, and a shocked expression appeared on her face.
Clenching her teeth, she increased her speed and forcefully stomped on the ground, instantly leaping into the air like a flying bird. However, the soldiers were relentless, matching her speed with their aim.
The captain finally understood, ‘Each of these soldiers... they are all experts, each with strength surpassing mine!’
Realizing this fact came too late as bullets rained from the distant barrels.
With their aim locked on, no normal human can evade their shots.
After the intense sound of gunfire, most of the Evil Shadow assassins didn't even have a chance to scream. They were riddled with bullet holes and thudded to the ground.
The scent of blood instantly filled the entire courtyard.
The captain was also injured, spitting blood and lying on the ground. Her martial arts skills were indeed remarkable, with strong vitality. She wouldn't die so easily.
"Don't kill me!" She coughed up blood and struggled to lift her head, hoarsely saying, "Henry, I can tell you who hired us to kill you."
Henry looked at her indifferently and said, "I don't care. Too many people want me dead. It's troublesome to investigate everyone."
"I never ask who wants to kill me or why. As long as my enemies die one by one, eventually I won't have to worry anymore."
The captain was flabbergasted and wanted to say something, but a gunshot silenced her permanently.
In less than a minute, the entire Miller family courtyard fell silent.
The members of the Miller family, paralyzed on the ground, looked at the once invincible assassins, now all turned into corpses.
"Sorry for wasting time. It should have been quicker." Henry showed a mocking expression and looked at the ‘loved ones’ whose arms were broken, trembling in the pool of blood.
"Let’s not delay any longer, hurry to the hospital. With only four dog legs left, it won't be convenient to bite people in the future. If you go early, perhaps you can find a real dog leg to replace it. Tibetan mastiffs seem good, sturdy, and should suit you well."
