Chapter 1: Life and Death
Ethan Gray woke up.It hurt. He was cold. An overwhelming sense of weakness filled his body.All of these sensations came from the wound in the center of his chest.The surface beneath him was cold, with a steel-like texture. Someone was whispering beside his ear.The smell of disinfectant filled his nose, mixed with the heavy stench of blood.Was he about to die, or was he already dead?Ethan slowly opened his eyes and saw two figures in white coats standing on either side of him.White coats. Doctors?Had he been saved?But standing behind the two doctors was a middle-aged man wearing a floral shirt. He looked extremely excited.“He’s actually still alive? How could someone survive after being shot in the heart?”“This kid is a mirror-image person. In other words, his organs are reversed compared to a normal person. His heart is on the right side. Congratulations, Boss. This heart can fetch a good price.”The doctor’s words made Ethan’s heart sink into an abyss.The boss placed a ha
Chapter 2: Emergency Distress Call
Ethan returned to the operating room. He crouched down with difficulty and picked up the phone the boss had dropped.The phone was still on and had not gone dark. When Ethan picked it up, the screen showed that it was recording.Ethan only wanted to call for help as quickly as possible. Without hesitation, he exited the recording function. But after leaving recording mode, an English-language app page appeared on the screen.Below the option for submitting the video was a submission box labeled “OK.”He only wanted to make a phone call. He swiped upward with his finger, and when the back button appeared, he immediately exited the page.He could not call the police directly, nor could he call emergency medical services. Given the situation, he felt that seeking help from the embassy would be a better option.But Ethan soon discovered that he could not make a call.After dialing the number, there was no response at all. No sound came from the phone, and no matter what he pressed, the ph
Chapter 3: I’m Definitely Making This Money
Ethan Gray woke up.It hurt, and he felt extremely weak. But this time, his back was no longer cold. When he slightly opened his eyes, the first thing he saw was an IV bottle hanging above him.Following the IV bottle downward, he saw the infusion tube, then a medical monitor. Looking past the monitor, he saw a man sitting in the corner.Why was he here? What had happened?He was still somewhat dazed after waking up, but with just a little recollection, his memories came rushing back like a tidal wave, causing his heart to ache.For the first time, he truly experienced what heartache felt like, because Ethan suddenly realized that he had not actually been rescued yet.The man sitting in the corner was his creditor!Ethan was not the kind of person who refused to repay his debts, but he seemed to have promised a reward of one hundred thousand dollars.Ten thousand dollars might be manageable if he thought of a way, but one hundred thousand dollars was something Ethan absolutely did not
Chapter 4: A Match Made in Heaven
Ethan had finally found a way to make money that suited him perfectly, one that seemed almost tailor-made for him.If Ethan had not truly been suitable to become an assassin, Lucan would not have risked losing a huge amount of money to save him.Now that Ethan was alive, Lucan’s investment had gained extremely promising returns.This was what one called a match made in heaven.“You’ve made a very wise decision!”Lucan was obviously very happy. The moment Ethan agreed to cooperate, it seemed as if he could already see piles and piles of money.For Ethan, since he had already decided to cooperate, he had to be more proactive.First of all, Ethan wanted to know what this Dark Web was all about.“Since we’re partners now, can you tell me what the Dark Web is?”Lucan answered without hesitation, “The Dark Web is a trading platform, like AetherMart in the underground world. The only difference is that the Dark Web covers everything you can imagine. Of course, all of it is illegal.”“Does th
Chapter 5: Naturally Following the Course
Ethan was staying awake for increasingly longer periods, while the time he spent unconscious was becoming shorter and shorter.However, the days after waking up were not easy, because whenever Ethan was awake, there was nothing he could do.There was no phone, no television, and only a nurse he could talk to for a few words. But the nurse spoke Eldorian, and aside from saying “Hello,” Ethan had nothing else to say to her.And although the nurse was a woman, she was short, dark, fat, and ugly!It was not until the fifth day after Ethan woke up, when he was finally able to sit on the hospital bed instead of only lying down, that Lucan finally came again.After entering the room and seeing Ethan sitting up, a smile appeared on Lucan’s face.He closed the ward door and stood by the entrance. Lucan smiled and said, “You’re recovering pretty well. Your injuries were very serious. Being able to sit up so quickly is already quite remarkable.”Ethan had been looking forward to Lucan’s arrival,
Chapter 6: Three Missions
Ethan Gray was somewhat excited. He could finally see the public missions on the dark web.The page was very simple. It had no mission ranking system like Ethan had imagined, but it had a regional option at the top of the mission interface.Ethan found that the region was Asia, Thalvaria.At the top of the mission list was the public mission section, and each mission was titled only by an amount of money.The top-ranked mission in Thalvaria offered one hundred thousand dollars. The amount immediately caught Ethan's attention, so he clicked on it without hesitation.After opening it, he found a very detailed mission description. After all, it was a public mission, so all the information about the assassination target was listed there, including photos, name, address, occupation, and so on.In short, if someone wanted to kill the target as quickly as possible, they had to provide as much detailed information as possible. Ethan felt that the dark web must also play a very important role
Chapter 7: You Can Become Famous
Upholding justice was also a way to make money.Was there anything in this world better than that?The only drawback was that this mission really did seem a little too difficult.First of all, there was insufficient information. The information for this mission should have been provided by the client, but there was only one somewhat unclear side-profile photograph.His name was Zayden Crowe, and his public identity was the owner of an Asian international investment company. He frequently operated in Shadowvale and occasionally lived in a small city in Elaris Province.That was all the information available. Compared with that female internet celebrity, the information about this target was extremely vague.But none of that mattered. Ethan looked at Lucan and asked seriously, "How do I accept this mission?""You still haven't understood the situation."Lucan was somewhat dumbfounded. Then he said helplessly, "Actually, that woman was the mission I wanted to take. First, the money isn't
Chapter 8: Hearing the Path in the Morning
Ethan had indeed been seriously injured this time, but he also recovered much faster than ordinary people.A body trained in martial arts since childhood was indeed different from that of an ordinary person.After about twenty days, Ethan was already able to get out of bed and walk around freely. Then, after a full month, he was finally able to leave the clinic that had saved his life.After bringing two bodyguards with him the last time, Lucan Veyrath had not returned. But this time, when he came back, he did not bring any bodyguards. Instead, he brought a fairly large shopping bag.Throwing the paper bag onto Ethan's hospital bed, Lucan said expressionlessly, "Five hundred and twenty-four dollars in total. Change your clothes. I'll wait outside."Ethan wondered what could be worth more than five hundred dollars. He thought Lucan was trying to squeeze some money out of him, but when he began taking things out of the paper bag, he discovered that Lucan was actually quite particular ab
Chapter 9: Psychological Shadow
Thalvaria legally allows private gun ownership, so it has quite a few shooting ranges. Prices aren't very high, but ranges aimed at foreign tourists are still relatively costly.This time, Ethan was not there to practice shooting. He only needed to familiarize himself with how firearms worked and get a feel for shooting, so he would try several different types of guns, firing about ten rounds from each one.The staff brought out the guns, counted out the bullets, and then began loading them.There were three handguns: a Beretta 92F, a Glock 17, and an M1911, all common models found at almost every shooting range in Thalvaria.There were also four long guns, again the most common types found at shooting ranges: an MP5 submachine gun, an AR-15 and an AKM automatic rifle, and a double-barreled shotgun for firing shells.Lucan was naturally familiar with firearms. With a calm expression, he said, “.22 caliber rounds are meaningless. You mainly need to familiarize yourself with the feel an
Chapter 10: An Opportunity
The dark web is not omnipotent, but as long as you have money, there is almost nothing you cannot get through the dark web.The passport Ethan was holding had been bought from the dark web. You place an order online, arrange a face-to-face transaction, and the process is extremely convenient.The passport cost four hundred dollars. It had been selected from dozens of passports, and the photograph on it looked about sixty or seventy percent similar to Ethan's current appearance, which was enough to fool foreigners.The passport was genuine. However, according to the person who sold it, the original owner of the passport had probably already been taken to some scam compound in northern Myrrhavia.Moreover, the visa on the passport still had twenty days remaining. Therefore, Ethan should have no problem using this passport to travel around Thalvaria.As long as he did not have to use fingerprints or facial recognition, there would be no problem.They had flown from Valerith City to Eldra
