"I know that Daniel won't let me off, but I never thought that he would send the two of you to come and kill me," Xia Zhe said honestly.
"If you know that we're here to kill you, why did you open the window?" Ella asked with a smile as she sat by the windowsill.
Xia Zhe could see Paul and Ella clearly under the moonlight. The two of them looked exactly the same as the photos published in the newspapers 10 years ago. Even after 10 years, the two of them had not changed a bit at all.
"You know us?" Paul asked.
"Yes, I do. The famous 'Ripper Duo'. I don't think there's anyone who doesn't know this name," Xia Zhe said.
"It's not bad that you still know us even though you're part of the younger generation. It's a pity that you're our mission target. Come with us obediently. Our mission is to kidnap you, not kill you. If you listen to us, you might suffer less." Ella pulled out the rope from her waist and walked towards Xia Zhe.
Xia Zhe did not dodge. He did not feel any murderous intent coming from Paul and Ella. This was completely unlike what was reported in the newspapers 10 years ago. At that time, they took pleasure in killing people.
"Let's have a chat. What did Daniel promise you? I can give you double the amount," Xia Zhe said.
"I'm afraid that you won't be able to afford it," Paul said with hooded eyes.
"You're telling me that young Bella is actually willing to help you," Ella said as she looked at Xia Zhe in disbelief.
Xia Zhe spread his hands out helplessly and said, "I'm also very surprised."
If not for Qiao Mei, Bella would never have gotten involved in this mess. Before Qiao Mei left, she had called Bella, asking her to help Xia Zhe and save his life no matter what.
After all, Qiao Mei was Bella's darling. So long as Qiao Mei wanted something, Bella would help her get it, even if what she wanted was a human being.
Back in those days, Ella and Paul were the talk of the town and were famous killers. Many assassins viewed the two of them as role models, but Bella was different.
Their first encounter was in a confrontation in which both sides were after the same person at the same time. Whoever succeeded first would get the high bounty. That mission was not that difficult, so Ella went alone and happened to run into Bella. The two of them could not stand each other and quickly got into a fight.
The two of them even forgot about their target and mission and only wanted to determine the victor between the two of them. In the end, they were both seriously injured and ended up lying on the deck of the cruise ship. It was dawn at that time and the two of them had declared it a draw. Ever since then, Ella and Bella became acquainted with each other. Although Bella did not like the style of the "Ripper Duo", she admired their skills.
"Are you able to fight against Alan's family?" Paul asked.
"Not right now, but with the addition of 'Spider Rose', I think it's possible," Xia Zhe said conservatively.
Paul and Ella looked at each other. They did not dare to believe Xia Zhe, but they trusted Bella and they did not want to give up their only chance of survival.
"You put us on the phone with our daughter so that we can make sure you're not lying to us," Paul said, tapping on the photo.
