"You can't even be sure of victory against Treading Snow Without a Trace Movement, so on what basis do you believe you can kill me?"
Xia Liu was speechless, considering he was ranked first on the Blood List.
Besides, he had left a significant deterrent abroad. This girl's hand and foot skills were nothing remarkable, yet she dared to come after his life, which showed she was unbelievably audacious.
"Because you deserve to die. A year ago, in a small town in Africa, you used extremely bloody means to annihilate a mercenary team. Do you know that this mercenary team was specialized in protecting refugees?"
Rose bit down hard on her back teeth, guarding herself with a dagger in hand.
The reason she wanted to kill Xia Liu stemmed more from her inability to tolerate it any longer.
His brutality, his bloodthirstiness, his utter lack of humanity.
And by killing him, she could also get a large sum of money, which would then allow her to relieve those who were suffering.
"A year ago, huh? I seem to remember that. That group of mercenaries had a decent public facade, but have you ever investigated what they did in private?"
Xia Liu stopped in his tracks, sifting through his memories.
"What about privately?"
"They used the refugees to traffic drugs under the guise of protecting them, and after the deals were done, they would kill all the refugees."
"That's impossible!" Rose became agitated.
She found herself getting led on by Xia Liu's words—the information she had seen was not .
"Alright, since your compassion seems quite substantial, I'll take the liberty of asking—what do you think of Treading Snow Without a Trace Movement, ranked second on the Blood List?"
Hearing Xia Liu mention Treading Snow Without a Trace Movement again, Rose couldn't help but become suspicious.
"Why do you ask that?"
"Given your disguise and tracking abilities, you must have encountered Treading Snow Without a Trace Movement. Between him and me, who do you think is good and who is bad?"
"Treading Snow Without a Trace Movement is my idol. Although he is an assassin, he's an upright person; the jobs he takes are always against those who deserve to be killed. He never fails and Read the latest chapters on NovelHub - completely free!"
Faced with Xia Liu's earnestness, Rose, for some reason, spoke her mind.
"It seems you hold him in high regard, but how much do you really know about him?" Xia Liu nodded, then his expression changed, becoming fierce, inscrutable.
"Are you trying to say you are Treading Snow Without a Trace Movement?" A light bulb went off in Rose's mind.
Xia Liu kept bringing up Treading Snow Without a Trace Movement and comparing him with himself—there must be some trick to it.
"Hahaha! I'm not going to answer that question. Right now, I feel like I have some serious business to attend to."
Xia Liu burst into laughter, his eyes staring intently at Rose.
"What do you want to do!"
"Don't come any closer! Otherwise, I'll kill you!" Faced with Xia Liu's extremely ravenous look, Rose grew afraid and kept backing away.
In terms of strength, she wouldn't rank in the top hundred on the Blood List.
The reason she was ranked fifth was because of her otherworldly Disguise Technique; just by observing someone for a few days, she could imitate them so well that it was impossible to tell who the real person was.
"Kill me? With what? The bit of poison on your dagger blade?"
In the face of Xia Liu's relentless advance, Rose nearly cried. If the T19 mentioned by him was considered a 'little poison,' then there would be no poison left in the world.
Seeing the distance had closed to about a meter, Rose's eyes changed, and with her dagger, she once again slashed through the air towards Xia Liu!
With a crisp sound, Xia Liu effortlessly knocked the dagger away with a swipe of his hand.
"If it were before, you wouldn't live past a minute, but now I don't feel like killing."
"If you don't want to kill, then let me leave! Why are you blocking my way?" Rose exclaimed sharply.
"Though I won't kill you, surviving a capital offense does not mean escaping punishment!" Xia Liu's lips curled into a smile as he unabashedly appraised the captivating figure before him.
"Brother Xia Liu, just let me go out,"
Suddenly, as Xia Liu was about to make a move, Rose rubbed her face quickly with both hands and transformed into the appearance of Zhang Xiaoxue.
Then she put on a cute, pitiful expression.
"Xiaoxue is my woman."
"Xia Liu, just let me go out,"
"Xia Liu, I'm not feeling very well, go pour me a glass of water."
"When Sister Zhang is in a bad mood, we end up hurting each other."
"What do you really want! If you're going to kill, just kill me. Dying at the hands of the Nether Emperor, my life wouldn't have been in vain!"
Unmoved by Xia Liu, Rose had no choice but to revert to her real appearance.
"I won't kill you. I'll enjoy you thoroughly!" Xia Liu said, bracing his hands on the wall, trapping Rose so she had no way to escape.
"I have a virus that starts with 'A.' If you dare, come and get it!"
Unable to evade, Rose glared at Xia Liu defiantly.
"Conveniently, I have it too. In that case, I probably don't need to use protection, right?" Xia Liu laughed, any virus, he could cure, even cancer.
Rose stopped talking. She admitted defeat. Although she was a conservative woman, she thought she could endure this day.
She silently remembered everything Xia Liu did to her, waiting for the chance to escape and kill him later—there would be plenty of opportunities!
Suddenly, just as Xia Liu was about to strip Rose, her phone rang.
Xia Liu changed his expression and began frantically searching her body, finally grabbing the phone.
"Assassins' phone for contacts, you still have accomplices?" Seeing Rose's phone, Xia Liu's energy burst out, and a formidable pressure spread instantly.
In that moment, Rose's pupils shrunk, and goosebumps covered her entire body.
She had never felt this way before, her chest heavy to the point of suffocation.
Her legs were so weak they seemed to reach their limit, as if her soul was trembling.
"Nether Emperor, is this the one worth 30 billion US dollars?"
Struggling internally, Rose also speculated that since she had come here alone, how could she possibly have accomplices.
"Answer the phone. If a single hair from my woman is harmed, I'll kill you instantly, and crush the shelter you have funded in America to dust!"
Hearing the word "shelter," Rose's eyes widened in shock, staring at Xia Liu, she had never expected this.
This man actually knew her secret!
"Hello, may I ask who is this?" Thinking of the orphans in the shelter, Rose, eyes reddening, spoke.
"These women are in my hands. If you want them to be safe, bring the Nether Emperor to me."
A distorted voice came through on the phone, one could tell it had been altered.
"I don't care who you are, if you dare to touch them! I'll chase you to the ends of the earth, relentless until death!"
Without waiting for Rose's response, Xia Liu snatched the phone and shouted furiously.
"Tsk, tsk, the Nether Emperor, is it? Seems like you've seen through Rose's disguise. That's fine, southeast in the small woods, if you don't get here in ten minutes, I will slice a woman's face. Your medical skills are so strong, it will be nothing more than a flesh wound for them, so don't rush, take your time."
After yelling, Xia Liu crushed the phone. Without waiting for Rose to react, he hoisted her onto his shoulder.
