After killing the Hell Messenger, Lionel Yeager snapped a photo.
Then, he unleashed waves of True Fire, turning the floating corpses on the river into ashes.
With these tasks done, Lionel took out his mobile phone and called Julia Stewart to let her know he was safe.
After learning that Julia and Prajna Bates had returned home, Lionel went to the street by the shore and stopped a taxi, heading straight to Divine River Garden.
About half an hour later, Lionel arrived at Divine River Garden.
Approaching the entrance of No. 8 Villa, he saw that the lights were on in the hall.
He walked up to the door and rang the doorbell.
The door opened quickly.
Seeing Lionel, Prajna’s face lit up with joy and she said, "Mr. Yeager, I’m so glad you’re finally back!"
"It’s good to be back."
Seeing that Lionel was safe, Julia finally relaxed.
After entering the villa, Prajna promptly asked, "Mr. Yeager, what happened while you were gone? Why did it take you so long to get back?"
Julia was also intently watching Lionel.
Lionel didn’t hide anything, instead explaining the events that had occurred to the two women.
As they listened to Lionel’s account, the expressions on Julia and Prajna’s faces changed continuously.
Even though Lionel didn’t elaborate much on the combat, it still left the two women greatly shocked.
Julia took a deep breath and asked, "So, you killed all those assassins?"
"Yes."
Lionel nodded.
Julia asked again, "Will more assassins come after you?"
Lionel replied, "I suspect there will be a lull for a period of time."
Seeing that Julia was about to ask another question, Lionel interrupted, "All right, let’s get some rest and stop worrying too much.
Trust me, I can handle any danger that comes my way."
"Alright."
Julia sighed, nodded, and said, "You should rest too."
After that, Julia turned around and went upstairs.
Prajna winked at Lionel before also heading upstairs.
Once the two women were upstairs, Lionel went to the garage, retrieved the medicinal materials from the car, and placed them in the storage ring.
Then, he returned to his room and took a shower.
Around twelve o’clock at night, Lionel came to Prajna’s room.
As soon as he entered, he took out his mobile phone and sent all the photos to Prajna, "Prajna, put these photos on the darkweb right now."
"Mr. Yeager, did you really kill all the Hell Messengers?"
Prajna still found it hard to believe.
Lionel shrugged and replied, "If you don’t believe me, take a look at the photos."
Prajna looked at the photo on the mobile phone, shuddering and her eyes widening into round circles, her mouth forming an "O" shape.
She stared in astonishment at Lionel and said, "I never thought that you’d actually killed the Hell Messenger ranked 38th on the Assassin Rankings..."
Lionel scoffed, "I initially thought that this Hell Messenger you mentioned would be quite formidable, but it turns out he was nothing special."
Prajna muttered, "Freak..."
Lionel tapped her head and snapped, "Who exactly are you calling a freak?"
Prajna rubbed her head, "Well, you are."
Lionel said, "Enough, stop wasting time, and upload the photos."
Prajna asked, "Do you really want me to do it?"
"Yes, do it now!"
Lionel nodded.
Prajna replied, "For that, you need to defeat four Kings of Assassins or defeat a Divine List Expert!"
Lionel nodded and continued to ask, "So, how many Kings of Assassins are there in the entire Dark World?"
"There are only four."
Prajna replied, then continued, "These four Kings of Assassins are all famous figures in the Dark World, and have each established a massive assassin organization.
Their organizations have branches all around the world.
Strength, energy, wealth, and status are the symbols of these four Kings of Assassins."
Lionel’s eyes were full of anticipation, "If a King of Assassins or a Divine List Expert came after me, that would be great.
I really want to compete with these top experts from the Dark World."
Hearing Lionel’s words, Prajna was terrified, her body trembled and her face turned pale.
She swallowed hard, "Mr. Yeager, if a King of Assassins or a Divine List Expert went after you, you’d be finished.
The strength of these top experts is nothing compared to the Hell Messengers.
So, it’s best to let go of this idea."
Lionel laughed and said, "Do you think if all the remaining photos were uploaded online, the four Kings of Assassins and Divine List experts would target me?"
"Generally speaking, they wouldn’t."
Prajna shook her head, "After all, in their eyes, even if you killed the Hell Messengers, you still wouldn’t catch their interest."
"That’s a shame, then."
Lionel sighed helplessly.
He truly wanted to compete with these top experts from the Dark World.
But, he wasn’t in a hurry, as he would eventually enter the Dark World.
After all, the massive worldwide organization that Neal Koontz wanted him to take over was, in fact, a Dark World organization.
Once he takes over that organization, he would inevitably step into the Dark World.
However, what puzzled him was why the people from that organization still hadn’t come looking for him?
