Chapter 262: Trouble On King's Island

(Unova Syndicate- Planet Xerciam Prime)

(King's Island- Black market)

Several agonizing screams of pain echoed through an empty alleyway as an unlucky bounty hunter lay on the ground while bleeding heavily from multiple stab wounds.

"Please… please… no... more…" the man begged desperately as his vision slowly faded.

Pierce!

The hooded figure standing above his collapsed body ignored the cries and once again a blade-like appendage shot forward and buried into the hunter's chest.

Sophie narrowed her golden eyes in fury and with one smooth motion she slashed a dagger across the neck of the hunter.

There was still a trace of shock in the bounty hunter's eyes as he could not believe how quickly his target had counterattacked.

This was the fifth assassin Sophie had encountered in just the span of one week since arriving on King's Island and the situation was only continuing to worsen.
