Chapter 120 Blood–Drawn Throat–Seal
originally on the top floor of the villa, practicing alchemy, with quite a fruitful yield However, he suddenly sensed several powerful presences approaching from the base of the
mountain.
“Huh?” Leones was momentarily stunned, thinking they were affer him.
But as he jumped to the roof and looked down, he surprisingly spotted Ariella stumbling below. “What?” Leones was puzzled. Ariella was just an ordinary person, how could she be pursued by so many experts? What was going on?
Leones quickly deduced that the trouble was most likely caused by Veronica.
Yet, there was no trace of Veronica’s aura nearby.
It seemed her friend was about to face danger.
Leones watched everything from above.
Although Ariella was also a victim of that car accident from years ago, Leones had healed her legs. Their grudges and gratitude had been settled. As a result, Leones didn’t want to get involved in this.
But just as he turned to leave, he faintly heard Ariella’s scream, which tugged at his heart. “Ah, interrupting my elixirs making!” Annoyed by the commotion below, Leones, in a flash. appeared at the base of the mountain.
Casually, he kicked a small stone, which immediately pierced through the wrist of the assassin, saving Ariella just in time.
“Who are you!?” The elder turned, both shocked and fearful. He hadn’t expected such an expert to reside on this mountain.
Leones approached leisurely, and with a swipe across his cheek, changed his appearance to the one he had when he first met Ariella.
He appeared once more in the name of Kenton.
“Mr. Kenton Bloom?” Seeing that familiar face again, Ariella felt like she was dreaming. Every time she was most helpless and in need, Mr. Bloom always seemed to appear just in time to save her.
“Kenton Bloom?” The elder repeated the unfamiliar name, then had a sudden realization. “So, you are Kenton Bloom!”
Coincidentally, Leones had used the name Kenton Bloom at the Lewis Club.
“Oh? You know my name?” Leones was surprised. Not many knew this name.
In an instant, Leones had a rough guess about the elder’s identity.
“You attended the auction at the Lewis Club, paid not a single cent, and took many treasures. “You owe us an explanation for this!”
elder smirked, feeling fortunate to have unexpectedly encountered the mysterious Kenton out, the goal of Heavenly Punishment on this trip was not just Veronica but also Kenton. ever, they had almost no information about Kenton, as it was just Leones’s alias. eretore.

You are from the illegal market?” Leones realized.
“Exactly the elder said coldly, “Regarding the incident at the Lewis Club, if you don’t provide us with a satisfactory answer, don’t blame us for being rude!”
“Indeed, I took the items. So what?” Leones didn’t deny but admitted openly. “Moreover, the things in your illegal market are stolen goods. Taking them isn’t illegal, right?”
Hearing this, the elder’s expression changed instantly. He hadn’t expected someone to dare covet the treasures of their illegal market, let alone with such audacity.
This guy was clearly courting death!
“Taking things from the illegal market might not be against the law, but it can cost you your life!” “And our duty in Heavenly Punishment is to execute arrogant fools like you!”
With that, the elder ordered, “Attack!”
Before he even finished speaking, the group of assassins in black immediately surrounded Leones. all wanting to be the first to capture Leones and claim the top reward.
“Mr. Bloom, be careful!” Ariella, seeing several people surrounding Leones, couldn’t help but worry for him.
After all, they had the advantage in numbers, and Leones was alone.
Even Ariella could tell that these people were far more formidable than the thugs who had bullied
her last time.
But the next second, before the group could even bring down their daggers, they fell one by one, clutching their throats.
A gleaming dagger had appeared in Leones’s hand, shining even brighter with blood.
“Incredible!” At that moment, even the elder was stunned by Leones’s swift actions.
It felt as if the Reaper had suddenly appeared, catching those assassins off guard.
“You… you’re also an assassin!?” The elder gazed at the dagger in Leones’s hand. The blood–drawn throat–seal move was something only top–tier assassins would possess.
“More or less…” After all, one of Leones’s masters, Aaron, was the world’s top assassin. From him. Leones had learned various assassination techniques.
If not for feeding his dagger on Aaron’s behalf, Leones could have killed everyone without showing himself.
“It seems I’ve met a colleague today?” The elder, instead of being angry, appeared more invigorated and eager to fight. He slowly removed his robe, “Let me see for myself, your assassination techniques!”
