One of the figures asked, “You’re sure Zeke Williams is crippled now?”
His female accomplice answered, “Don’t worry, this information is 100% accurate. Not only was Williams poisoned
by the Sullivans, but his tendons were also sliced apart by Lennon Sullivan. I personally saw the recording of that
momentous occasion.”
Good to know.
The man sighed in relief. “Let’s move.”
“Hold on,” the woman said, “Are we supposed to kill or just wipe out their memories?”
“If possible, only erase their memories. If that’s not possible, we’re allowed to kill them all.”
With that, the two of them continued to make their way into the Hintons’ bedroom.
As expected from professional assassins, their movements were light and quiet as they ghosted over to the bed.
Neither of the figures on the bed stirred at their approach.
Just as they were about to move, Daniel suddenly sat up in bed.
He had a habit of getting up in the middle of the night to go to the toilet.
This habit would save his and his wife’s lives.
He immediately spotted the two figures standing by the bed.
He shouted loudly, “Who are you? How did you get in here?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHannah jerked awake at her husband’s shouts.
Taking in the two figures, she burst into tears and wailed, “You two again! When will you stop coming after us? Until
we’re dead?”
The male assassin growled furiously, “Shut up! Keep shouting and you’ll regret it!”
Hannah’s mouth snapped shut and the Hintons fell silent. The husband and wife knew these two would really not
hesitate to kill them upon being angered.
The male assassin spoke again, “Since you clearly recognize us, let’s be frank with each other. People are starting
to suspect Lacey Hinton’s true identity. Unfortunately for you, that means certain measures need to be taken so the
secret won’t be leaked.”
“We’ve already said we would take this secret to our graves! Why must you keep forcing us?” Lacey exclaimed.
I’m so sorry.
The male assassin shook his head. “We don’t trust people’s mouths.”
The female assassin added, “You have two options now. One is to cooperate with us and we’ll wipe away all your
memories. Another is death.”
Daniel and Hannah exchanged terrified glances.
Not wasting any more time, the man pulled out two needles and stepped toward the Hintons.
Click!
There was a soft clicking sound before a small flame flickered to life in one corner of the bedroom.
The hairs on the back of the assassins’ neck stood on end.
There is someone else in the room!
They glanced in the direction of the sound. By the flickering light, they could see Zeke with a placid expression on
his face. He was sitting in a wheelchair, hidden in one corner of the bedroom.

At lest, Zeke spoke up, “Don’t worry, I went through e lot of trouble to lure you two out. Now thet you’re here, why
would I leeve?”
Their hearts raced as blood roared through their arteries.
Damn it! This guy really is no pushover. Even when crippled, he’s superb at holding his breath and remaining still.
They were two of the best assassins out there, yet they did not even have an inkling of his presence!
Daniel and Hannah were stunned as well.
Zeke was supposed to be resting in the bedroom opposite theirs. He was also supposed to be disabled and unable
to move by himself. So how did he get inside their bedroom?
“Zeke Williams. I’m afraid you saw and heard what you shouldn’t have. You now also have to lose your memory or
die!” the male assassin stated coldly.
That had Daniel hastily calling out, “Wait! Zeke is deaf and mute! It would be impossible for him to reveal the
secret. I’ll take him back to his room now. Please don’t hurt him.”
With that, he moved to push Zeke out of the room.
“Hold it!” The male assassin threatened, “If he takes even one step out of this room, I’ll kill him!”
Looks of despair crossed Daniel and Hannah’s faces.
At last, Zeke spoke up, “Don’t worry, I went through a lot of trouble to lure you two out. Now that you’re here, why
would I leave?”
