Chapter 247 - Chapter 235: The Death of an International Thief

At night, Hunter looked at the Sexy Sweet Girl, Sam, who was already fast asleep beside him.

Perhaps she had been pushed too hard yesterday.

Today, he had spent a lot of effort throughout the day.

In the end, he even used methods like playing the victim and acting deeply affectionate.

Only then, after nightfall, did he finally trick this Sexy Sweet Girl again.

After some tossing and turning, Hunter felt that under the passive effect of the Max-level Procreation Skill,

Sam's dependence and obedience toward him should receive another boost after she woke up.

However, Sam's self-awareness was too strong.

She wasn't much weaker than the Killer Wife Jian or that Female Assassin Perkins.

After all, she had lost both parents at a young age, dropped out of school early to enter society, supported herself with her own two hands, and had to deal with a crowd of admirers around her.

Without a bit of vigilance, Sam would have been eaten until not even her bones remained long ago.

So when he first met this woman, Hunter discovered that she was very wary of outsiders.

It wasn't until he helped her retrieve her mother's heirloom gold necklace,

That Sam finally completely let down her guard against Hunter.

So he had originally thought this Sexy Sweet Girl could be completely handled in just three to five times.

Now it seemed it was also a tug-of-war of physical strength and patience.

With Perkins before, Hunter had spent a full week or so to grind her dependence and obedience to a high level.

So inferring from this, to completely conquer this Sexy Sweet Girl,

Hunter would have to spend a bit more time!

Sam was clearly exhausted; she didn't react at all when he left her side.

Hunter wasn't surprised by this.

After all, he also knew there was a Continental Hotel commission task tonight.

So, during their 'in-depth exchange' earlier, Hunter had put in a bit of extra effort.

Barring any accidents, Sam would probably sleep until noon again.

After taking a shower and changing into clean clothes,

Hunter didn't put on any disguise at his residence. He quickly pushed open the door and left the seaside villa.

He walked straight toward another luxurious seaside villa area on the island.

Paradise Island wasn't particularly large, with a total area of only six hundred and eighty-five acres, which was roughly less than three square kilometers.

On an island of this size, it wouldn't take much time to walk a full circle around it.

And that retired thief Max, who had come to settle on Paradise Island,

Now lived in the northeast corner of the island, in a luxurious seaside villa area.

Dozens of seaside villas were built there, many even coming with a small private beach.

Hunter didn't walk very fast, but the distance from the seaside villa he rented on the island to the thief Max's villa wasn't actually that far.

Before long, he arrived at that luxury villa area.

Late at night, after Max's sulking lover, Lola, finally fell asleep,

He, having no sleepiness at all, got up, wearing only a pair of beach shorts, and walked toward the private beach outside the villa.

Blown by the sea breeze outside, Max couldn't help but feel much of the frustration in his heart dissipate.

Looking at the sea under the moonlight, Max couldn't help but think of his recent troubles.

He was once a world-renowned international thief who had successfully committed multiple thefts in Europe and the US.

From the heavily guarded homes and even private vaults of one super-rich person and celebrity after another,

He would steal the precious jewelry and antiques they cherished as treasures.

Then he would either collect and appreciate them or sell them for a massive profit.

In the blink of an eye, over a decade had passed. Although Max had become notorious in Europe and the US, he had also made a fortune because of it.

A year ago, Lola, who had worked with Max for over a decade as both his assistant and lover, no longer wanted to live that kind of life of constant fear.

Under her repeated persuasion, Max finally promised her that after finishing one last job, he would retire with her and find a place where no one knew them to live.

However, in that final job before retirement, Max encountered an FBI pursuit.

In the end, although he and his female assistant Lola, relying on their exceptional theft skills, forced FBI Agent Stan—who had clearly tracked them down—to let them go due to a lack of evidence.

However, after that, Max, having already exposed his true identity, was targeted by that FBI Agent from then on.

Not long ago, Stan had personally come to the Bahamas, found Max, and provocatively told him the news.

Three gems that once belonged to the French Emperor Napoleon were being exhibited on the luxury cruise ship traveling from New York to the Bahamas, and they had now arrived in the Bahamas.

FBI Agent Stan, who had lost to him last time, wanted to collaborate with Max to steal the gems.

Max certainly saw through it; that FBI Agent, Stan, who had been played for a fool by him a year ago, was not genuinely interested in collaborating.

It was highly likely that this guy just wanted to trick him into jumping into a trap and then seize the opportunity to arrest him.

Yet, even though Max knew it was a trap, he still couldn't resist.

Ever since he and his female assistant and lover, Lola, had retired to live in seclusion in the Bahamas, the master Thief Max hadn't made a move for over a whole year.

As a top-tier international Thief, Max had actually always enjoyed the thrill of his past life.

So, in the year since retiring with Lola, his assistant and lover, aside from the initial period where he felt retired life was relaxing, he soon began to feel bored and listless.

Lola, who had lived with him for over a decade, naturally noticed this.

But she didn't want her lover to return to the dangerous life of the past.

Because of this, they had no shortage of arguments.

Therefore, when FBI Agent Stan found Max after more than a year and proposed a collaboration, even knowing it was a trap, Max still took the bait.

Since his female assistant and lover Lola refused to help him, Max collaborated with another group of Thieves who had also set their sights on the gems.

Relying on his wealth of theft experience and skills, Max ultimately succeeded in stealing the three priceless gems.

To prevent being found, Max hid the gems in his villa on Paradise Island, in a place that was absolutely impossible for anyone to discover.

With the three priceless gems in hand, Max should have felt very happy.

However, he currently felt no joy at all.

Today, Lola made him choose: either retire completely with her, move to a new place where no one would find them, and start a new life.

...

Or go their separate ways, never to bother each other again.

Clearly, Lola's persistence regarding retirement and her firmness when facing Max left this former international Thief, now just retired old Max, feeling a bit uncomfortable and bewildered.

Max didn't understand why his female assistant and lover, who used to love him deeply and obey his every wish, had suddenly changed like this.

Evidently, he hadn't realized that Lola, who had been his assistant and lover for over a decade, wanted to be promoted to his wife.

By the seaside, Max let the salty, fishy sea breeze constantly lash against his cheeks.

Because he was distracted, he didn't notice at all that in the darkness more than seventy meters away, a figure had already aimed at him.

Seeing him distracted, the dark shadow quickly pulled the trigger.

"Whoosh!"

A sound of air being pierced, completely masked by the sound of the waves, rang out. By the time Max suddenly felt a pain in his back.

And then staggered, nearly falling from the impact, he couldn't help but reach back and touch it, only to discover a crossbow bolt sticking out of his back.

Soon, after realizing a stabbing pain was also coming from his chest, Max instinctively looked down. He saw a sharp crossbow bolt with a blood groove had pierced through his chest.

"I..."

Max opened his mouth, wanting to say something. But the moment he opened his mouth, a mouthful of blood bubbled up and gushed from his throat.

As his life force ebbed away, Max quickly felt his vision go dark, and he collapsed onto the ground, silent.

A generation of international Thief, Max, had perished on Paradise Island.
