Chapter 1107 - 1112: Come on, let’s hurt each other.
Nicholas felt helpless. He was ready to surrender now, but the supposed to be the smoothest part had encountered a problem.
Since when could an assassin make decisions for their employer?
"This isn’t right, since when could an assassin make decisions for their employer?"
In response to Nicholas’s question, Cupid smiled apologetically and said, "I didn’t make the decision for you. But there’s nothing in our agreement about canceling this stipulation, so I didn’t breach our contract."
Nicholas spread his arms and said somberly, "Please, you put me in an awkward position. I can’t go on like this; otherwise, I will die. Do you think putting your employer into such an awkward position has no impact on your reputation of never missing a target?"
After pondering for a moment, Cupid replied quietly, "I know what you’re thinking, but I can help you kill Sea God."
"But you can’t guarantee when you will kill him. I might die before that. Is there a difference whether the task is forcibly canceled because of my death or if I choose to cancel it voluntarily?"
Cupid stated indifferently, "There’s a difference. If you die, you can’t make the final payment, and the mission naturally ends. That’s the rule of the trade. I don’t want to break it. But if you cancel the task, it means I admit defeat voluntarily, which I can’t accept because I really want to kill Sea God."
Nicholas waved his hand and said, "Do you really want to kill me, your employer? If you don’t agree, I’ll have no choice but to try and kill you. I know I might die, but I can’t just do nothing. I can’t deal with Sea God, so I have to choose you, who’s right in front of me now. You know, although I’m afraid you indeed can kill me, I have to try."
Cupid stated indifferently, "Perhaps you should consider a third option, which is to kill Sea God."
Nicholas chuckled and responded, "Of course, that would be the best option. But the problem is, you didn’t succeed, nor did I. If this stalemate persists, I’ll miss my last chance to surrender. I can’t wait until Big Ivan, the CIA, and Sea God are all ready to come after me to surrender. It’d be too late."
