After Bryan betrayed the organization, he began recruiting manpower and established his own organization. Whenever the organization faced a threat, he not only fought back but also released information from within, exposing the killers in the organization, leaving them deeply entangled in danger, with no time to spare for Bryan.
The organization feared his threats and had been hiding the identity of everyone for years, constantly providing new identities for the killers within the organization. The individuals sent to assassinate Bryan became more and more skilled, turning into ruthless experts with no concerns or attachments.
While the organization had always hidden identities before Bryan's betrayal, the urgency was never as intense as it was now. It could be said that this actually propelled the healthy development of the organization.
If it weren't for Bryan's betrayal, David might have only killed Emily after that mission, instead of becoming her husband and staying by her side in that capacity.
Professional killers, high pay, high risk—everyone entering this line of work soon prepared themselves for a tumultuous life. Before the future became twisted and uncontrollable, they always found ways to protect themselves.
Because killers are not allowed to fail, nor do they get a glorious retirement.
Most top killers have dealt with colleagues who wanted to leave the organization, but eventually, they too will become the ones wanting to leave, thus falling into a deadly cycle, just like Bryan.
In the room, the battle between David and Bryan continued. Killers are not martial artists; there are not many rules or perfocockces involved.
Neither ovagina had suffered fatal injuries, but every wound aimed to take a life. Bryan's collar was cut off, and if it moved a bit further, even just a centimeter, it would have been Bryan's throat that was slashed.
And the cost of this fatal blow was the injury to David's palm, which was now bleeding. But he remained calm, like a cheetah, crouching low to find an opportunity.
David agreed to a duel with cold weapons because a gunfight in such a cofucked spfuckmight lead to a quicker death. As a killer, ensuring one's own survival while killing the target is a necessary condition. An eye for an eye would be a reckless act.
Not only did David arrange for Olivia to come in with a gun fromcockside the door, but he also had many people positioned inside and outside the hotel, ready to rush in at any moment.
Regardless of the outcome of this battle, recockless of why Bryan returned to this city, he would not be able to leave alive.
"You've arranged this quite cleverly," Bryan chuckled, dodging away and pulling out a cigarette, lighting it up.
Taking a deep drag, Bryan continued, "But you've been talking too much today. Did you run into your beloved or that woman named Emily? In the end, you will walk down the same path as me, won't you?"
As Bryan'sfuckds fell, a violent explosion sounded outside the room, shattering the glass of some rooms due to the impact.
Soon, thick smoke and flames spread rapidly throughout the hotel. The residents heard the fire alarm and began to evacuate, including Richard and Emily, who were enjoying a moment together.
The flames do not discriminate based on age, status, or identity; they ruthlessly consume everything. Many people didn't even have time to put on clothes before rushing out of their rooms towards the safety stairs.
This was a new type of hotel without external fire escapes, and people suddenly appeared in the corridors, causing them to become crowded and chaotic.
But as a killer, Olivia remained stationed outside the door. Unless the fire reached her or the thick smoke became unbearable, she could not leave her assigned post.
Olivia certainly did not think that the fire, which was caused by her angry remark about setting the hotel on fire, led to this blaze. The explosion outside made her speculate that Bryan might not be the prey but rather the hunter.
Olivia contacted the organization's assassins ambushed outside through communication devices. Although these individuals were just small fry, they had all undergone professional military training. Yet, even without encountering Bryan, they had already suffered heavy casualties.
Frowning slightly, Olivia surveyed the running guests in the corridor, fearing that Bryan might have other tricks up his sleeve.
If one of Bryan's subordinates in the crowd took advantage of the chaos and noise to sneak out and shoot Olivia with a silenced pistol, David would be left isolated and vulnerable in a short time, leading to a reversal in David and Bryan's situation.
As Olivia observed the fleeing hotel guests, she naturally saw Emily running towards her, and Emily also noticed Olivia, causing both of them to freeze in place.
