My Extraordinary Wife

Chapter 1002 Eavesdropping

Earlier, Cassandra and Spencer successfully brought the others away, so Ashlyn and Lucas stayed behind to provide cover for their escape.

The enemies behind Ashlyn and Lucas pursued them relentlessly as if they knew no exhaustion.

It was difficult to tell which side was more relentless in achieving its goal.

Despite multiple gunshots having been released, Ashlyn and Lucas remained unscathed as they nimbly dodged every single shot.

“Let’s go!” The menacing aura Lucas exuded became increasingly intense.

He carried Ashlyn in his arms and hid above the branches of a large tree.

Time ticked by slowly before a series of footsteps were heard underneath the tree, followed by a man’s low and hoarse voice.

“Mr. Hades, the shorty’s dead.”

“How can it be?” Hades watched as his subordinate helped Sebastian walk toward him. The latter’s face was completely drained of colors.

As he narrowed his eyes, murderous intent flashed across them.

“Mr. Hades.” Pursing his lips, Sebastian lowered his eyes and kept mum as if he was waiting for Hades’ punishment.

Hades’ gaze darkened, and his already icy tone of voice became even more chilly. The pressure he was emanating was overwhelming for Sebastian.

“He was hurt by Lucas and Ashlyn ” the subordinate holding Sebastian stated on the latter’s behalf.

A hint of shock surfaced in Hades’ eyes. Ashlyn and Lucas are that powerful? I can’t believe it. Sebastian is considered one of the best assassins in ZZ Organization, yet he was still injured by them. This is rather worrying.

He then swept his gaze past Sebastian, causing the latter to instinctively lower his head even further.

“Where are they?” Hades questioned.

“They’ve escaped.” As shocked as Sebastian was, he still disclosed the series of events that took place earlier. It was humiliating! I can’t believe I was almost beaten to death by Lucas!

A gust of cold wind blew, causing the sand and dust to swirl in the cover of night.

The air was as cold as ice and felt slightly suffocating.

Sebastian continued lowering his head in silence and stood rooted in his spot, appearing like a statue.

After listening to Sebastian’s account of the events, Hades was utterly taken aback. “You’re saying that Lucas could’ve killed you, but he showed you mercy instead?” Why didn’t Lucas just kill him? It’s undoubtedly damaging for a skilled martial artist to hold back their killing move.

Hades wasn’t the only one who was startled. Everyone there also furrowed their brows in response. It feels like things aren’t as simple as it meets the eye. Lucas isn’t a merciful or magnanimous man. He wouldn’t have spared an assassin who was aiming to take his life. Something about this is strange, but I can’t quite put my finger on it. Why did Lucas show Sebastian mercy? What can possibly be the reason behind his decision?

Sebastian stared at the silent Hades and couldn’t help but call out, “Mr. Hades.”Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.

Hades’ eyes glittered with menace and a hint of bewilderment as he looked at Sebastian.

It wasn’t until a long while later that he finally and coldly thundered, “Piece of trash!”

Sebastian had his head hung low, as low as his anatomy could permit. He dared not utter a single word at this juncture. Even though I’m the best assassin in ZZ Organization, I failed my mission and almost lost my life. No matter what, I deserve this.

Ashlyn and Lucas had been hiding in the tree, taking in every single word uttered in the men’s conversation.

They exchanged a quiet glance.

A single look was all they needed to tell that the people beneath them were all assassins and skilled ones at that.

If the enemies came at them in waves, the couple were confident they could work together and take their enemies down.

Alas, there were too many of them for Ashlyn and Lucas to face at once.

Beep! Beep!

All of a sudden, Hades’ communication device sounded, and an icy voice traveled from the other end of the line. “Hades, you came all the way here to interfere with my mission. What’s the meaning of this?”

“The leader never specified that you must be the one to complete this mission, Silvermoon.” Hades let out a cold chuckle. “You ruined everything, and that Dixon is brainless beyond words. Just anticipate your punishment when you head back!”

For a split second, Ashlyn’s glare was sharp and stern. Hades and Silvermoon are associates! Moreover, Dixon has ties to the latter…
