“L.A., a Chinese man.”
“Ah…” Kelly had a fright. L.A., Chinese man.
“What’s wrong?”
“What’s the target’s name?”
“Chen Zhao.”
Hearing this name, Kelly clutched her chest. It’s him!
It really was him!
That nightmare had appeared again.
“Do you know who wants to kill him?” Kelly asked.
“You should know that we don’t ask the client for their identity… Or…”
The assassin’s boss had a fright. Kelly usually accepted missions easily and followed the rules.
Unless she knew the target!
“Ah… Uh… I suddenly remembered that a newbie in our team is free. I’ll go ask him again.”
“Boss, you’re in America, right?” Kelly suddenly laughed.
“Kelly, don’t be like this.”
The boss was an assassin, but he was the weakest in the team.
Ever since he changed his career to managing assassin teams, he started sailing smoothly.
But even as the boss of the group, he was still the lower one before most assassins.
“Don’t be like what?”
“Okay, okay, what do you want?”
“No one is allowed to take that mission.”
“You want it? Or do you know the guy?”
“I know him.”
An assassin would usually pick and choose the missions.
After all, who in the team didn’t have relatives and friends?
When they got missions, they would purposely avoid those people.
Otherwise, it would be troublesome if someone on the team killed their family and friends.
“But there’s no note in the documents.”
“I just met him, alright?”
“Sure, sure.”
The boss was helpless. It wasn’t his fault everyone else was a hotshot.
These days, managing assassins was difficult.
Kelly looked at the information sent by the boss. There were some hard facts and also some of his guesses.
The most eye-catching part was that in one case, a dozen people approached the house and then all disappeared mysteriously.
Kelly knew that the man was very mysterious and had terrifying abilities.
If it was him, then it wasn’t strange that he could do these things.
After escaping for so long, she had to face him in the end.
…
“F*ck! F*ck!” Herretia kept kicking Simons’ butt. “Get out of here! I’m giving you freedom. Stop clinging to me!”
“No, I think you’re a very good master. I’m willing to give you everything, including my loyalty. Look at my indestructible body. Don’t you feel safe?” Simons patted his chest.
“Don’t you know that we’re out on the street? Can’t you see…”
Just then, a father with a child walked over. “Hello, can my kid take a picture with this cosplayer?”
“Of course,” Herretia replied, smiling.
Simons lifted the kid up onto his neck, letting the father take a few pictures.
“Excuse me, what movie or game character is this a cosplay of?”
“Demons Beside You.”
“What’s that? Never heard of it.”
Herretia turned to leave in annoyance. Simons continued to follow her.
“Actually, I can pretend to be someone else too. Master, I plan on following you for life.”
“I don’t need that!” Herretia yelled loudly. “Get the f*ck out!”
“No, you need it.”
Anyway, Simons had decided to cling and never leave Herretia until the end.
Suddenly, a voice interrupted Herretia and Simons.
“Miss Herretia, we meet again.”
“D*mn mosquito.”
Simons hated seeing other men approach Herretia.
Along the way, countless maggots had tried to ask for Herretia’s number.
Turning his head, Simons yelled, “Get out of here or else I’ll wrench your head off!”
“You’re talking to me?” Chen Zhao glanced at the metal cosplayer before him.
Meow—
“Are you talking to me, little thing?”
Samuel, on Chen Zhao’s shoulder, glanced at Simons.
Instantly, Simons and Herretia freaked out.
Such terrifying aura. What was with that shocking oppressiveness?
Who was this cat an incarnation of?
Herretia had stiffened too. She was very afraid that Chen Zhao was here to take revenge.
After all, Murphy had seen her when they fought that day.
“You know him?” Chen Zhao asked curiously after hearing Samuel.
“A lowly little demon,” Samuel answered. “He doesn’t have any subordinates. Let me think… Oh, I think he’s some rare demon. Demon Warrior. I killed a few before and then never saw them again.”
“Ah, I suddenly remembered that I have something going on. I’m going now. Bye.” Herretia grabbed Simons and started running.
“So scary, so scary, so scary,” Simons kept muttering under his breath.
He was scared. He was honestly scared.
That cat must be the incarnation of a demon, but which demon exactly?
Who could have such a terrifying aura?
“Simons, you know that man? You’ve seen him before?”
“No, the little cat on his shoulder, that’s a demon. A scary demon. I just glanced at him and felt this terrifying aura wash over me. So scary… That’s practically the demon among demons.”
“That man was my previous target?”
“What? That’s him? Thank god…”
Simons shuddered. “Thankfully, we gave up without even entering his door. If we’d really broken into his territory, we would’ve died. Died terribly.”
…
“I didn’t think Miss Herretia is a witch too.” Chen Zhao was surprised too. “She doesn’t seem weak either. She’s enslaved a demon.”
“That’s not the case at all,” Samuel said in disagreement. “That little demon is just imprisoned in that prop, while that prop is controlled by the witch. As for the witch herself, her magic power isn’t even one-third of yours.”
“Oh, speaking of magic power, I opened another Pristine Eyeball the other day, but it hasn’t done anything special. Can you tell what its function is?”
“There are thousands of Pristine Eyeballs. How can I know all of them?”
Just then, the eye on Chen Zhao’s wrist suddenly opened. “Huh?”
Closely after, a scene appeared in Chen Zhao’s mind.
