The room was eerily silent, and if not for the glass shards that sparkled coldly on the floor, the An Family might have thought it was all a dream.
But the cold sharpness in the air and the strange atmosphere were reminders that the newcomers meant no good—and they were definitely Ancient Martial Artists with strength not inferior to their own!
Although the An Family lived alone, not residing in the military compound, the villa they owned was constructed with special materials due to the special identities of Old Master An and An Zisheng. The glass windows, for instance, were made of the most advanced bulletproof material. Ordinary people couldn’t break them, and even bullets would only leave shallow marks.
Yet, such sturdy bulletproof windows were so easily shattered by the enemy, leaving the floor covered in pieces. This alone was proof of the extraordinary strength of these intruders!
Old Master An and An Zisheng watched their surroundings with sharp eyes like vigilant eagles, ears pricked up, listening intently for any sound.
"Since you’re here, what’s the point of skulking around? Come out!" Old Master An furrowed his brows and shouted loudly, his voice carrying the deep Inner Breath of someone at the Great Achievement Peak, startling those hidden in the shadows.
The An Family can’t be Ancient Martial Artists, can they? They’re supposed to be ordinary people, right?
The disbelief in the eyes of the man leading the group in hiding was clear. The organization’s intelligence was always accurate, so why did all the conclusions point to the An Family being ordinary people? Where did these Ancient Martial Artists come from?!
Sensing the barely concealed killing intent emanating from the An Family, the man in black’s expression turned fierce, his gaze as sharp as a cold blade directed at Old Master An and An Zisheng. Clenching his fists tightly, his eyes filled with blood in an instant, and he vanished from the shadows with a terrifying speed, leaving only a blur within the villa.
Seeing their boss make a move, the others hidden in the dark emerged one after another, not waiting for any order, and charged directly at the An Family!
As the seven attackers suddenly appeared, the An Family’s killing intent flared. They always kept to themselves, yet they’d been repeatedly bullied. This disdain was undoubtedly because they were seen as ordinary people!
What the world didn’t know was that An Yiqing had already turned all members of the An Family into Ancient Martial Artists!
Consequently, facing these supposedly defenseless "ordinary people" of the An Family, the killers had greatly underestimated them!
This underestimation caused them to be a second too slow in their reaction time, which was just the moment Xiao Hei and Old Jin, who had heard the commotion and rushed downstairs, needed to strike!
In an instant, one black and one gold figure whooshed through the air, and before the killers could react, two of them took a heavy hit in the chest!
It was the first time Old Master An and the others saw Xiao Hei and Old Jin in action, and they couldn’t help but widen their eyes in astonishment. However, the urgency of the situation kicked in, and they quickly jumped into the fray.
Before long, except for the less powerful Old Lady An and Kong Shi, the An Family’s men, along with Xiao Hei and Old Jin, engaged in a fierce fight with the seven assassins!
Yuyuanzhai, An Yiqing had no idea what was happening at home. After finishing the discussion on the exhibition details with Zhang Yuksheng, she packed up a bit, put on her coat, and prepared to leave.
Suddenly, the ringtone of her cell phone in her pocket went off, and An Yiqing’s usually calm heart quivered, an ominous premonition sweeping over her.
She answered the call and heard Gu Yelin’s deep voice coming from the other end.
"Tutu, someone has posted a one-billion bounty on an international assassin website to kill all members of the An Family, and the time is tonight!"
Gu Yelin’s words turned An Yiqing’s typically radiant face instantly grim, causing Zhang Yuksheng beside her to tremble with fear.
