Chapter 198: Jessie\'s resolve

At that moment, another voice echoed in Jessie\'s head.

\'You need to calm down. He seemed to be holding back his strength… Rush towards him madly and throw the vial when you reach 1.5 meters away from him.\'

It was her second consciousness!

Under her second consciousness\'s instruction, Jessie sprinted towards the masked man and shouted.

"Die!"

Upon seeing her reckless move, an amusement smile appeared under the muscular man\'s mask.

\'Unfortunately, I\'m not allowed to kill her.\' He let out a sigh and thought of knocking her out.

"Kid, surrender yourself. I know that you are a Rank-2 [Reader] with no combat class." He paused for a second and added with a big grin under his mask.

"You will stand no chance against me."

On the other hand, Jessie rushed towards him madly while showing a panicking expression and soon stopped as she arrived 1.5 meters away from the masked man.

At the exact moment, she turned her face into a serious one, moved her other hand, and threw the purple vial towards his face.

Upon seeing Jessie\'s abrupt action, the muscular man got stunned.

\'What is she throwing?\' Although potions were helpful in battles, he didn\'t think a small kid like her would get her hands on some poisonous vial.

\'But I can\'t act carelessly.\'

With that thought in his mind, he regained his calm and moved his sword to block the purple vial.

As his sword collided against the vial, the glass vial broke into pieces and released a purple-colored pungent gas.

The smell was so strong that it almost caused the muscular man to cover his nose involuntarily.

The gas then enlarged like a cloud and started enveloping his body.

\'F*ck! This isn\'t some normal potion.\' He cursed inwardly and waved his sword to dismiss the purple smoke.

"Rule no.1. Never underestimate your enemy." At that time, he heard a childish provocative voice from the front.

"Accursed brat-" As he was about to shout but stopped as he noticed that the blonde-haired girl was holding a matchstick and matchbox in her hands.

But what infuriated him more was the smile that plastered on her face.

She was clearly looking down on him!

\'She is not a normal runt.\'

"What are you doing?" The muscular man got a great sense of danger and moved his sword.

On the other hand, Jessie lit the matchstick, threw it in his direction, and backed away hurriedly.

Each of her steps appeared elegant and perfect as if she had another pair of eyes behind her back!

In the meantime, the muscular man abandoned his long sword and leaped towards the right side to evade the match stick.

Unfortunately, the match stick made contact with the purple gas as he took two steps and ignited.

A moment later, the whole cloud of purple gas suddenly combusted and completely enveloped the muscular man.

The fire which enveloped him suddenly changed into thick red color and started burning his skin!

A painful scream echoed in the lone gloomy alley!

On the other hand, Jessie halted her footsteps as she appeared 7 meters away from her enemy and spoke.

"Rule no, 2: Never look down on money."

The muscular man had no time to hear her nonsense!

He hurriedly removed his cloth and rolled on the ground to extinguish the fire while moaning loudly.

One second, two seconds, three seconds…

The fire began to burn fiercely, causing severe burns to appear on his skin!

The fire remained around his body for 15 continuous seconds!

By the time the fire disappeared from her eyes, she had noticed that a charred figure was lying on the dirt road and appeared to be breathing heavily.

There was not a single cloth that appeared on his body.

The burn extended through every layer of his skin, and his whole body appeared charred!

Only his face remained unaffected due to the white metal mask!

Upon witnessing such a scene, even Jessie became shocked and started to get worried.

Although she had seen murders, she hadn\'t killed a person in her life.

It was the first time she had even hurt someone!

"P-Please, I b-beg you…H-Help me!" A painful moan appeared out of the charred man\'s mouth.

His tone was filled with pain, regret, and anguish.

Jessie\'s body quivered all over!

"I-" She was about to reply but soon stopped.

At that moment, her younger brother\'s face appeared in her mind.

When their Teacher asked Titus to steal money, he became hesitant and didn\'t do it.

Because of that, he failed in his personal mission.

He was too softheaded and wouldn\'t dare to hurt a soul.

She also knew of his character!

The same goes for Rhea and Noel!

Never mind killing, both would never even try to hurt a soul.

But she had seen many cruel things during the past six months.

Unlike others, she roamed the commoners\' District, Slum District, and Merchants\' District and had seen brutal murders in many areas while she was doing her personal mission.

\'If Teacher hadn\'t picked us up, I might have long dead and others would have become beggars… What if our Teacher disappears one day? Would these Nobles let us live peacefully? Even if Rhea became a Queen, she wouldn\'t punish others and might forgive them.\' At that moment, a firm resolution appeared in her mind.

To protect her loved ones, she decided to abandon her soft side!

She gripped her dagger and started walking towards the white-masked man.

Once she appeared next to him, she squatted down, pointed the dagger tip at his throat, and removed the white mask.

The next instant, her emerald-green eyes widened.

The man\'s face appeared around 40 years old and had a square face, thick eyebrows, pale skin, and deep-blue eyes.

"Damian Fox, 41-years old, Leader of Black Stone thief gang… You have three wives, five children, and have some connection with Baron Spencer…" Jessie spoke in a monotonous tone.

As Damian heard those words, his deep-blue eyes squinted in shock!

"H-How?" He breathed raucously and asked.

"I indeed have no combat class, Mister. But I have the power of knowledge and I knew each and every citizen\'s name and their backgrounds." Jessie paused for a moment and added in a cold tone.

"I also knew each and everyone\'s weakness."

As he heard those words, a bitter smile emerged on Damian\'s face.

He knew that she was threatening him using his family members!

"W-What do y-you want to k-know?" He asked in a stuttering tone.

"Who sent you?" Jessie maintained her stern look and probed.

On the other hand, Damian blinked his eyes and spoke in a weak voice.

"W-We are working for a c-certain organization called Divine Order. T-Today, they asked us to c-capture you and the other three kids."

"Aren\'t you guys afraid of our Teacher\'s wrath?" Anger flared up on Jessie\'s face as she heard those words.

Once again, Titus\'s face appeared in front of her eyes.

At that moment, Damian let out a sigh and responded.

"N-No. T-Their main t-target might be y-your Teacher. H-He is an ancient mage and might have i-immensurable wealth. I-I h-heard that the h-higher o-officials already s-sent 3 R-Rank 4 M-Mystics to k-kill him."

As he spoke, his body began to shake uncontrollably, and his breath grew rougher!

He was dying!

"S-Save m-me." He squeezed out those words and stared at her with a pleading look.

On the other hand, Jessie bit her lips, nodded her head before raised her right hand, and directly stabbed the dagger into his chest.

At that moment, her emerald-green eyes abnormally turned into scarlet ones!

"A-Argh!" A shrilling voice came out from Damian\'s voice as his body shook violently.

His eyes turned bloodshot as he stared at her with full of shock and disbelief.

On the other hand, Jessie pulled out the dagger with trembling hands and stabbed it into his heart again!

Damian\'s body shook a few times and went motionless.

At that moment, Jessie\'s hands and face were drenched entirely in Damian\'s blood!

Even after his body went motionless, Jessie stabbed him multiple times and regained her sense only after 10 seconds.

"R-Rule No.3: N-Never trust your e-enemy." She said in a trembling voice.

Tears appeared in her eyes and soon covered her bloody cheeks.
