Chapter 1059: Chapter 1059: The Honor of the Assassin

The reason Wang Dadong brought up the antidote was to remind the other party not to harm Poppy, since their leader Black Annie still needed Poppy’s antidote to detoxify.

But when Wang Dadong saw the black-faced beauty beneath the hood, he suddenly felt his heart sink.

Wang Dadong glanced at Poppy with a speechless expression; wasn’t she boasting that she’d keep the other party knocked out for a week before giving them the antidote? Yet here they are, coming to find her personally after just a few days.

Now that Black Annie has arrived, the antidote from Poppy is no longer necessary.

In other words, now even if Black Annie kills Poppy, it doesn’t matter. Poppy’s bluff this time was too big.

Come to think of it, Black Annie should at least be at the Saint Level by now, and at this level, the body’s metabolizing capacity and resistance are far beyond ordinary people.

Even if Poppy’s poison could knock Black Annie out, it doesn’t mean it could kill her. Poppy even predicted it would at least keep Black Annie bedridden for ten days to half a month, but her estimate was entirely wrong.

It’s been only four days since Black Annie was poisoned, and adding the time she came to Huaxia herself, Poppy’s poison at most only made Black Annie sleep for three days.

It’s clear, Black Annie is extremely angry this time, otherwise, she wouldn’t have come all the way to Huaxia personally.

Wang Dadong’s capabilities might be stronger than Black Annie, but now Poppy has a specially made explosive Collar attached to her neck. Black Annie only needs to move her finger to take Poppy’s life.

Wang Dadong isn’t capable enough to remove the explosive Collar from Poppy’s neck before Black Annie acts.

“Death Knell, this is a matter between me and Poppy, I hope you won’t interfere.” Although Wang Dadong had left Hell a long time ago, the reputation of Death Knell still couldn’t be underestimated, so Black Annie spoke politely.

Wang Dadong also felt troubled; he had no relationship with Black Annie, and convincing her to spare Poppy seemed difficult.

In the past, Black Annie might have given him some face, but now he was no longer a leader of Hell, just another ordinary worker, and the other party might not grant him any respect.

“Black Annie, I know Poppy went too far this time, but could you do me a favor and spare her, just for once?” Wang Dadong was ready to try and see if Black Annie might reciprocate a favor to him.

“Impossible!” Black Annie replied with an extremely firm tone.

“Since you are Death Knell, you should know that we in the Assassins Alliance value honor the most. If I let her return alive, how can Assassins Alliance continue to stand internationally?”

Indeed, Black Annie wasn’t lying, the Assassins Alliance valued honor even more than their own lives. This time Poppy knocked down Black Annie, which was a severe blow to the Assassins Alliance’s face. If Black Annie tolerated it, it would be surprising.

Perhaps if not for some apprehension towards Wang Dadong, Black Annie might have already taken Poppy’s life.

Wang Dadong pondered for a moment and said: “Black Annie, Poppy is my friend, and no matter what, I can’t let you kill her.”

Black Annie narrowed her eyes slightly, revealing a dangerous gleam, and coldly said: “Death Knell, if I want to kill her, you can’t stop me.”

Not to mention now Wang Dadong simply couldn’t save Poppy from Black Annie’s grasp, even if he could save her this time, there’s no way he could save her twice or thrice.

Being targeted by the Assassins Alliance basically equates to a death sentence.

“And don’t forget, you are no longer part of Hell.” Black Annie continued.

Since Wang Dadong chose to leave Hell, he shouldn’t utilize Hell’s resources.

Black Annie didn’t have the confidence to contend with Hell, but facing a former Death Knell, she’s not terrified to such an extent where she’d abandon an assassin’s honor.

Wang Dadong glanced at Poppy. At this moment, Poppy’s face showed an extremely fearful expression. She dared to be so arrogant, thinking Black Annie needed her antidote. But now that it’s unnecessary, she naturally became scared.

Wang Dadong lightly closed his eyes, seemingly pondering something; a few minutes later, he opened his eyes again and slowly said, “Black Annie, you should know there’s a new leader in Hell now.”

Black Annie nodded; she certainly knew about Tyrant.

In today’s mercenary world, the Hell Tyrant is an existence even more feared than Hell’s Death Knell.

In just one day, he beheaded two Underworld Fallen Great Demon Kings, and even raided a branch of the Underworld in Kansas, with over a thousand Underworld members, leaving not a single survivor.

This level of cruelty and ferocity indeed made the entire mercenary world astonished.

That’s why he earned the title of Tyrant.

Wang Dadong paused and said, “I am Tyrant.”

There was no other way; Wang Dadong hadn’t intended to involve himself with Hell any longer, but to save Poppy, he had no choice but to reveal this.

Fortunately, the Assassins Alliance isn’t as evil as the Underworld, and they highly regard honor. As long as he can persuade Black Annie not to disclose his identity, she certainly wouldn’t expose it.

Hearing Wang Dadong’s words, Black Annie’s face instantly revealed an expression of extreme shock.

Unexpectedly, the current Hell Tyrant and the former Hell Death Knell turned out to be the same person.

Alongside the shock, Black Annie was also quite puzzled; since Wang Dadong returned to the stage of the mercenary world, why didn’t he directly use the identity of Death Knell?

Seeing Black Annie’s confusion, Wang Dadong calmly said: “I never intended to return to the stage of the mercenary world, I just didn’t want Hell to decline.”

Black Annie understood Wang Dadong’s meaning; Wang Dadong showed up as Tyrant merely for martial deterrence. Essentially, it’s similar to an honorary elder.

But this also indicates a problem; Wang Dadong hasn’t completely severed ties with Hell, and he can still mobilize Hell’s resources.

When Hell needs it, Wang Dadong will act, and when Wang Dadong needs help, Hell would likewise not turn a blind eye.

Black Annie’s eyebrows slightly furrowed.

If Wang Dadong insists on protecting Poppy, while she insists on killing Poppy, the ultimate result would inevitably be a showdown between Hell and the Assassins Alliance.

No matter which side wins, it would undoubtedly be brutal.

Thus, Black Annie had to reconsider the issue.

Poppy was also stunned; she didn’t expect Wang Dadong to be the recently renowned Tyrant.

Black Annie fell into silence, seemingly pondering something.

After a long while, Black Annie finally spoke up slowly, saying “…”
