The Guardian's Return by Old Pumpkin

Chapter 365

Having once served alongside Ethan, Marcus knew just how terrifying Ethan could be.

Three years ago, there were nine fighters from beyond the border whose combat abilities matched or exceeded those of military experts like himself. Some had even crawled their way up from battlefields of corpses, their abilities surpassing Marcus and his peers. They were known as the nine deadliest assassins beyond the border.

any three opponents Among them, Number Three was the strongest as he could face simultaneously without losing ground. Marcus believed that even in one-on- one combat, he would not be a match for Number Three.

It was during that time that the South Regent offered 300 million dollars to the nine fighters to eliminate Ethan. The Grand Marshal had only recently passed away back then, and the military experts were concerned about Ethan's safety. If anything happened to Ethan, the consequences would be disastrous.

Marcus, in particular, wanted to give Ethan full-time protection, but Ethan calmly told Marcus something that he would never forget. "Don't worry. I'm not their enemy."

Marcus did not understand what Ethan meant at the time. It was not until later that they heard that the assassins turned on each other, with four dead and two severely injured. Only Numbers Two and Five remained relatively unscathed.

It was then that Marcus finally understood what Ethan meant. The nine assassins' enemy was not Ethan-it was each other!

Whoever killed Ethan would get 300 million, and each of them believed they could kill Ethan easily. However, they all saw the other assassins as the real threat, so they turned on each other, eliminating their competition.

It was supposed to be nine assassins against Ethan. However, under Ethan's orchestration, it turned each of the nine assassins against each other, while Ethan remained untouchable!

When Number Five realized they had all fallen for Ethan's scheme, he tried to assassinate Ethan out of anger. However, instead of defending himself, Éthan simply sent Number Three a video of Number Five gravely injuring another assassin!
