Chapter 94: Sophia in danger
Johnny was no fool. He had been suspicious of the one-billion-dollar bounty from the start. A price that high on a simple schoolboy did not make sense. It smelled like a trap. He knew the target had to be incredibly dangerous.
That was why he had brought his entire force. Over five hundred men. He had intended to overwhelm the target with sheer numbers.
and take the bounty by himself.
He was not a legendary assassin. He was a businessman. He ran a small but profitable branch of the underworld specializing in extortion kidnapping and other unsavory but lucrative ventures.
He had his own small army a private militia of loyal thugs and hired guns. He was a small-time king a minor lord in the vast and dangerous kingdom of the underworld. And he had just kicked a hornet’s nest.
He had stumbled into a fight that was far bigger and far more terrifying than he could have ever imagined. From his perch on the catwalk he watched the lone schoolboy dance through the storm of bullets and he felt a chill of genuine fear.
But even with all his men even with all his firepower Johnny was afraid. He could not get the image of Adam’s eyes out of his mind.
The look on his face when he had killed his own girlfriend after confessing his feelings it was the look of a monster. A cold calculating monster.
This boy has to die, Johnny thought his heart pounding in his chest. He finally understood why the big families were so afraid of him. The families that controlled the underworld the families that were rumored to control the government of this country they were terrified of this one boy.
They knew that if he were allowed to live he would destroy their empires. And Johnny knew that he would be the first to fall all because of his own stupidity.
