“W...What did you say?” Xu Xin Tong thought that she was hearing things when Bai Chen told her to hide behind the tree.
“I told you to go hide behind that tree,” Bai Chen repeated and pointed his finger at the same tree.
Xu Xin Tong trembled. The cold on the face had been completely decimated. Her eyes widened as she looked at Bai Chen.
She had not misheard it. Bai Chen really had told her to hide behind the tree. How could she not be surprised?
She was not stupid. She understood that Bai Chen wanted to fight with the assassin from the Hell Shadow International Assassin Association who was standing not far away from where she and Bai Chen were at the moment.
She could not help but react this way.
“Are you mad? That man’s an assassin from Hell Shadow, not a street thug!” Xu Xin Tong’s face was still white with fear, but she was also angry.
She was angry with Bai Chen. She thought that Bai Chen did not value his life, seeing that he was going to fight with an assassin from Hell Shadow.
She was a police officer. She knew full well how skillful assassins from this association were. Even she who was well-trained was still unable to handle them.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThat was why Bai Chen would not stand a chance. In her eyes, Bai Chen was only a normal 18-year-old boy. He would not be able to fight with Peter, an assassin from Hell Shadow.
Bai Chen looked at Xu Xin Tong’s pale white and seemingly angry face. It did not surprise him that she reacted that way. He had already known that she would be like this.
He understood that in the eyes of Xu Xin Tong, who was a police lieutenant general, he was only an 18-year-old boy and would not be able to fight an assassin from the Hell Shadow International Assassin Association.
And fighting when one knew full well that one could not stand a chance to win meant that one did not value one’s life. Thus, it was not odd that Xu Xin Tong had gotten angry.
Maybe she had forgotten that the value of life did not matter now. Peter was coming to kill both of them. If they did not fight, they would die anyway!
Moreover, Xu Xin Tong was wrong. Bai Chen was actually confident that he would be able to deal with Peter. All his confidence came from the low-grade martial arts technique that he possessed.
“Trust me!” Bai Chen said. He did not want to talk anymore. He finally began to walk towards Peter, the assassin from Hell Shadow.
“You...” Xu Xin Tong was at a loss for words. She stood still while looking at Bai Chen’s back. She already knew that she could not stop him. She finally let out a sigh.
“Be careful!”
She ran to the tree that Bai Chen had pointed at and hid behind it. She did not want to get in Bai Chen’s way while he was fighting.
Her worried eyes stared at Bai Chen after she had hidden behind the tree. She was feeling nervous and wondering if Bai Chen would be able to fight Peter.
The only thing that she could do was to mentally cheer on Bai Chen. She thought that if Bai Chen was to be killed, she would commit suicide afterward. It would be a lot better to die by one’s own hand than to be killed by an assassin.
Actually, right now, Xu Xin Tong wanted to call for a backup from Xing Zhou city police station.
It was such a shame that her phone was in the Mercedes-Benz that had already been turned into a wreck after the crash.
“Are you done saying goodbye?”
Peter smiled, letting his white teeth be seen. He looked at Bai Chen and asked him this in fluent English, in an undeniably English accent.
He had not killed Bai Chen and Xu Xin Tong immediately because he had wanted to give them some time to say goodbye, even though he did not know what they were talking about.
But he would not have been able to understand anyway because he was a foreigner, and he did not speak Chinese.
“You want me to kill you first and then that woman?” Peter looked at Bai Chen and then at the tree where Xu Xin Tong was hiding. “What a gentleman you are!”
p
Quite some confidence he had, this Peter!
Bai Chen’s brows furrowed tightly. Of course, he did not understand what Peter was saying. He had been top of his class for two consecutive years, but English had always been his weakest subject.
However, he did not care what Peter was saying because he would have to fight him anyway. Bai Chen looked at Peter’s right hand, which was holding the army knife.
‘This guy doesn’t use guns like the one before.’
It seemed like most assassins usually chose knives over guns. It was normal for him to think this way because the great assassin Hei Chang had also used a knife when he was trying to kill Xu Xin Tong.
“You ready to die, aren’t you?”
Peter, seeing that Bai Chen was looking at the knife in his hand, swung it around.
He thought that Bai Chen was ready to die. And if Bai Chen was ready, he would be ready to kill as well.
He did not show even the tiniest shred of mercy!
Peter had mercilessly killed a great many people. He had absolutely no sympathy for the people he was about to kill!
Bai Chen’s facial expression turned deadly serious. His eyes tensed up. He did not feel like he was going to lose at all.
He could sense that Peter was about to begin the fight. He did not have to understand the other’s language because Peter’s movements gave away that he was about to try to kill him!
