Chapter 72
Jake, as practiced, said in a cold tone, "I only want Black tiger’s information on where he stays usually and where he frequents usually . If this information is correct, I will double your reward . And you don’t have to worry about my life or yours, I am only here because I was hired to do my job . "
The bar owner thought, ’Hmm . . . so an assassin, I guess its better than all those amateurs who co here to die every ti they co here . I wonder which organization he belongs to that he is confident enough to slay that guy . I guess it’s better If I don’t ask him more questions regarding his identity or his work . ’
The bar owner nervously said, "If you want to find Black tiger then you have to co at weekdays in the evening where he gathers with his teammates every ti at least recently . And if you want to find him sowhere else then in 5 days he will gather at the grand canyon near the town with his teammates that’s the only information I have regarding his movents . "
Jake didn’t feel any lies through his speech, he nodded gave a few gold coins and left, "Hmm . . . good no lies . "
However Jake didn’t feel good as he knew that his man would most probably snitch him out from how that man was acting a bit too cunning and how that person acted based on that person’s power . Jake thought as he left .
’Dammit, Fuck that old man for giving wrong information regarding that bar . Anyway, I still got so information out of him . Most probably I will get snitched and they will try to set up a trap for . ’
After Jake left, the bar owner looked around if soone was tailing him or not, after carefully checking out for a few more minutes .
The Bar owner then left for another place in the town, he knocked on the door three tis and spoke a password, after so ti there was a voice from inside the building,
A short man could be seen opening the door as he said to the bar owner, "co in . "
The bar owner’s na was Damien, "What is it this ti Damien that you had to personally co over here . "
The bar owner hesitated but spoke out, "There is a situation this ti around . Soone hired an assassin to hit Black tiger this ti around . It’s good that the guy didn’t have any accurate information about the bar he was visiting . However, that guy gave a dangerous feeling, unlike the other amateurs who usually ca in the past so I didn’t make a move on him . "
The short man looked at the man in the back for an answer when that man said, "It seems, that businessman still hasn’t given up on my assassination from all those years ago . It’s quite hard to target him after I got to know about him from previous assassination attempts . "
That man was Black tiger who Jake was targeting this ti around, he looked like a big man
The bar owner hesitatingly asked him, "I have always seen you changing the subject when it cos to the topic of this assassination but what sort of grudge does that guy have with you that he spends ludicrous amounts of money just to assassinate you all over the years? Plus this ti the guy that he hired seems a lot more dangerous than other ones . "
Black tiger spoke with a sigh as rembered the incident, "Well as you know I am a rcenary and we have our own dirty secrets, And since you asked about this I might as well tell you today . 9 years ago like all the previous wars, we were in the borders and were returning after a long march . since we didn’t make a lot of gains during that war . We decided to ransack a border village as we were anyways going to lose that place so we decided to Slave the people and took anything that we could so that we could recover the losses . So a lot of things happened during that ransacking, people who resisted were killed, so were raped and another half of the lot slaved . Unfortunately, after a year soone from our team bragged about the incident and so people got to know about it and from that mont that businessn have been trying to assassinate and my team . After further investigation, we got more information on him and it was revealed that a certain lover of his was residing in that village during that ti and just happened to get raped and died later on . Well, a Big rcenary unit is hard to control at tis so its part and parcel of this sort of job .
To save my life even I have been trying to assassinate that guy but till now there has been no result . That guy is loaded with money and bodyguards . "
The bar owner asked a question, "Master, from your tone it can be seen that you regret that incident . Why did you order the ransacking of the village if you know sothing like this would mostly happen after that incident if it got leaked . "
anwhile, the short man was listening from the sidelines .
Black tiger frowned and said, "Well, that’s none of your business on why I did it . Anyway, enough of chitchat tell more of your conversation and how that guy looks like . "
From this Damien understood that Black tiger didn’t want to reveal the person who was behind the works and who gave the order that ti to ransack the village .
Damien then answered him right away, "From his voice, he looks like a young man around 15-18 years old but I can’t see his features as he always covered his face like the vagabonds with a black scarf . However, there was one thing peculiar about him and that is, he gave a dangerous vibe just like those n we observed in the past . do you think he is related to them?"
Hearing this he was shocked, but then he imdiately recovered thinking that young man’s age as that boy wouldn’t be able to join them this early .
"It’s ok, I don’t think that guy would have any contacts with those n as just contacting them requires a lot of money and resources or incredible or horrible luck . Additionally a guy that young wouldn’t be here doing fieldwork . It would at least take him a few years to carry out those work . did he have small horns on his head?"
Damien imdiately replied: "No, I don’t think so . He looked like a human, nothing special or different . The only information I gave him was about your schedule where you usually visited and the next plans of our visit to the grand canyon . "
Black tiger was skeptical a bit but he still asked: "Since you felt that he was stronger than you, then he still didn’t try to kill you imdiately?"
Black tiger then looked at the short man who understood that Black wanted him to check the surroundings first .
anwhile After Jake left the building he was observing Damien from a distant place . He also didn’t try to kill him as he confird that he was most probably one of the Black Tiger’s henchman .
Jake tailed him cautiously using the stealthy steps of hell and reached the place where Damien knocked on the door and said sothing before entering it . He could see a small fat man before the door closed imdiately .
Jake thought, ’I guess he is going to inform about today’s event to his masters . I better be cautious and not enter the building without confirming anything . ’
Jake then tailed him to the building, it was only a two-story building . He climbed to the roof and started to carefully hear their conversation . He heard about the conversation on why that certain guy wanted to kill him and he also understood that there was more to the previous incident then what was known to others .
’Most probably a noble or soone in the court controlled this Black tiger rcenary group and ordered them to ransack the village . Maybe I should extract so information before I kill him . ’
Jake very well rembered about his training on extracting information when he trained with Vlad and hence his thoughts on getting more information from the Black Tiger .
As soon as Black Tiger ordered for a check of the surroundings, Jake imdiately threw a poison needle on the body of Damien from behind after he entered through the window .
Damien was numbed as the needle struck him, he turned around to see what happened and was shocked to see the guy who t him earlier tailed him all the way without getting noticed . He was sure that he checked multiple tis before heading here but he still got tailed by him He then fell unconscious as rembered how this guy seed different and gave a dangerous vibe compared to others .
Damien imdiately fell on the ground after watching him blend in with the dark . Watching the commotion the fat guy ca inside the room .
Jake then threw a knife at the gate from where he heard the footsteps, as soon as the guy ca in the room . he was struck with a knife on his throat which penetrated deep inside his throat .
The fat guy caught his own neck as he squird like a dying fish on the chopping board . He squealed raising one of his hands in the direction of Black tiger before he lost his lost consciousness as he saw both Jake and Black Tiger taking a defensive posture . He was very surprised to see such a young man with such frightening skills to kill two veterans in a matter of seconds .
Black Tiger was watching this from the sidelines,
Black Tiger thought, ’This guy was able to enter undetected even when I actively searched for anyone tailing Damien . From his movents, it looks like he has mostly been trained by a professional expert in assassinations . The most fearso aspect of this guy is how fast and aggressively he attacks his enemies . ’
