The Great Medical Saint

Like a lost soul, Nathan ran aimlessly with nowhere to go. He kept going until his legs felt so heavy that he couldn't take another step.

As he stopped, he looked back and saw no one behind him, so he just plopped down on the ground. Dripping wet, he sat under a tree to catch his breath.

People on the street kept turning to look his way, but the last thing Nathan wanted was attention.

Gritting his teeth, he picked himself up and looked around before spotting a public restroom not far away. He made his way to the restroom and went for the accessible stall. After locking himself in, he sat on the toilet lid and finally started feeling more grounded.

Nathan played back the journey to Lambda City in his mind, like a movie. After showing up alone in Lambda City, he found a room in a small hotel without running into anyone he knew. Then, he rented a cab just to drive around openly without drawing attention.

Nathan recollected every event that happened after he arrived in Lambda City and before he jumped into Lambda River. But he still couldn't figure out how he was exposed.

As far as he knew, Matthew had never seen him. In fact, even the assassins from The Misfortune's Veil had no idea who he was.

In The Misfortune's Veil, only Farrell knew about Nathan's appearance and background, but he was already dead. How did Matthew recognize Nathan right off the bat?

Nathan scratched his head and pulled at his hair. Despite yanking out bits of his hair, he was still stumped. An unshakable sense of fear crept onto him.

Leaving Lambda City came first. Screw the job! At most, Nathan would refund the client half the fee.

Just as he reached for his phone, he found nothing in his wet pocket.

What? Nathan sprang to his feet and searched himself, checking every pocket. But his phone was still nowhere to be found.

Crap! The phone had gone missing.

Nathan's account on the dark web was linked to that phone number. Without it, he couldn't access the site or give orders to the assassins of The Misfortune's Veil.

Plus, that phone was tied to his bank account with his life savings in it. That was a whopping one billion dollars.

Without wasting a moment, Nathan flung open the restroom door and dashed out.

He found a phone shop nearby, bought a phone, and restored his number. Then, he eagerly went online.

When Nathan tried to log into the dark web, he was dumbfounded. The screen showed "incorrect password". He immediately tried to retrieve his password using his phone number but got an "incorrect number" message. That was when he realized that his phone wasn't lost in the river. Someone had taken

it.

On top of that, that person had already accessed his dark web account and even

changed the phone number registered with the account.

It was over. Everything was gone.

His dark web account had a massive fortune. Besides that, it contained all the details and contact information of every member of The Misfortune's Veil. Without access, he'd never be able to reach the assassins again.noveldrama

Everything was done for. Over a decade of effort had gone down the drain.

More than ten years ago, he

murdered his boss at the coal mine and started his career as an assassin. In the beginning, he had no idea how to take jobs, collect payments, or avoid getting caught after the assassination.

He spent months alone in the library reading detective novels, watching crime shows, and studying case files. After six months, he came up with his approach to eliminate his target, which was through accidents.

With his plan in mind, he thought he was about to reach the peak of his life, but he

didn't expect the hardest part was putting it into practice.

The process began with accepting jobs and reaching out to clients. Only after securing the payment would he proceed with the job.

However, the job itself was a

In

challenge too. He had to research the target's habits and create a plan based on their daily routine and lifestyle. After that, he'd proceed with the killing alone and then come up with a way to escape.
