Bai Chen’s eyes were still wide open in alarm when he looked at the mission window that had appeared.
At the same time, the green arrow was pointing at the lady who was cold and beautiful.
‘It’s her!’ Bai Chen exclaimed in his heart in a panic. He did not think that the person he needed to help save from the killer would be her.
But he did not stay shocked for long. He calmed himself down instantly.
He looked around hastily. Bai Chen was afraid the killer was going to attack before he could respond.
If that was the case, his mission would be a failure. He would not let that happen.
If this mission failed, not only would Bai Chen miss out on 30 points, he would be hunted down by one of the big clans. That was not something he wanted.
How could he let that happen then?!?
Bai Chen had a stressed expression when he saw people approaching from both the left and right.
To the left was a regular-looking middle-aged man who looked like a kind farmer. He was wearing ordinary clothes that could be bought anywhere.
As for the right, there was a plump lady walking with her golden retriever. She dressed quite lavishly. Her plump face was covered with heavy make-up. Her thick lips were bright red because of lipstick.
Looking at her, an ordinary man would consider her quite horrendous.
“Which person is it?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtBai Chen’s face was stressed, not relaxing at all He observed both the middle-aged man and the plump lady thoroughly. His heart was heavy as he had no idea which of them was the assassin.
Since both of them appeared from different directions, Bai Chen suspected that one of them must be the killer.
Since the mission window popped up out of nowhere and the green arrow was pointing at the lady, then there was no other way to look at it.
It would be bizarre if the killer was not one of the pair.
One of these people must certainly be the killer!
Bai Chen was quite sure of his own conclusion.
As the middle-aged man and the plump lady had yet to reach Xu Xin Tong, Bai Chen crossed the street to stand beside her in an instant.
He was two steps behind her and did not dare get any farther away for the fear of not being able to save her from the killer in time.
Even though Bai Chen had low-grade martial arts techniques, he was still on guard. According to the mission’s instructions that he had read, the assassin was not an ordinary killer like Hu Tong, whom he had already killed.
The mission instructions clearly stated that it was ‘a skillful assassin’!
How then could Bai Chen not be careful and be on guard at all times?
Xu Xin Tong’s beautiful yet cold eyes turned suddenly towards him.
The fact that he had moved to stand beside her and was not more than two steps away from her had surely been detected by Xu Xin Tong.
In her mind, the middle-aged man who had suddenly moved to stand beside her surely wanted to hit on her.
She could not help but feel disgusted. She certainly had no interest in men of this type and had no thoughts of developing any interest.
“What do you want?” Xu Xin Tong asked with her usual icy voice. It was an extreme question. She did not hold back at all.
Bai Chen looked up, stunned. He did not expect the woman to be this hostile just because he had moved to stand beside her.
Wait a minute—he still remembered the coldness on her face when their eyes met in the coffee shop all too well; it was a coldness that was nearly an incomparable iciness.
Bai Chen pressed his lips together and did not reply. He had no time to care about this now. His gaze swept from left to right at all times, so as to be able to see when the assassin decided to strike!
“Did you not hear what I asked...?” the icy voice snapped again.
But before she could finish her sentence, she was stopped by Bai Chen’s voice. “Look out!”
He pushed her out of the way in an instant. He saw a black blade bathed in purple that was aimed at Xu Xin Tong’s back. The perpetrator was a middle-aged man!
He was none other than the former number one killer of the Shei You Assassin Guild, Hei Chang!
Swish…
The sound of a blade stabbing the wind rang out once. Hei Chang’s face showed a moment of surprise. He could not believe he had missed.
It had to be known that in his time with the Shei You Assassin Guild when it still existed, he had never missed once when he attacked. More than thirty people had perished at his hands.
Therefore, it was hard for shock not to show on his face.
Shriek!
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmA scream sounded; it was the plump lady who had brought her dog. Her face turned white. When she saw the scene before her, her thick legs went weak, her eyes rolled back, and she collapsed unconscious to the ground floor almost instantly.
One could say it was a loss of consciousness due to fear!
The golden retriever she had brought ran away swiftly. Its panic might have been caused by the large woman’s shrieking.
“Damn it!” Hei Chang burst out before swinging the black knife once more towards Xu Xin Tong, who was still in shock.
Xu Xin Tong had almost fallen over when Bai Chen had pushed her, but thankfully, she had kept her balance. Once she regained her balance, she still stood motionless with her eyes wide when she saw the black blade in the hand of the middle-aged stranger.
The sound of a blade cutting through the air she had heard before this signified that the man was surely trying to stab her.
Her beautiful, cold face turned pale.
“Y... you!” she screamed out as she saw the middle-aged man turn the tip of the sharp knife towards her once more.
Even though she was a talented female officer, in a situation that happened this fast, it was difficult for her to react to it on time. Forget about reacting in time—she had a hard time even thinking of dodging the attacks.
Judging from the skill of his attacks, this middle-aged man must not be an ordinary killer; he must be a skilled assassin even among other assassins!
“Darn it!” Bai Chen shouted before lunging toward the middle-aged Hei Chang.
His clenched fist hit the latter’s arm.
But Hei Chang was the former number one killer of a famous assassin guild. His level of skill was known well by those whom he had killed. How could he not react in time then?
He pulled his arm back and turned his body to dodge the attack before lunging forward and aiming the knife at Xu Xin Tong once more. He looked like a leopard jumping to strike its delicious prey!
It was clear that he did not care about Bai Chen at all, regardless of the fact that the latter had tried to stop him. His sole target was Xu Xin Tong!
