337 Her Identity
Shan Yue was already used to all of this. After all, she had earned this by herself.
However, no one’s life would be smooth sailing. In the black area that she had already left, there were already many pairs of eyes staring at her movements.
As the center of the Federation, it was also the most prosperous city. It was the place where all young people dreamed of working hard. The lifestyle of opportunity and challenge had accomplished many people.
However, there were naturally hidden areas in the Federation that ordinary people could not step into. There was also an underground city hidden in a deserted forest. There were no warnings or guards on the ground.
Shan Yue could find this place with her eyes closed. To her, this area had an environment and people she was all too familiar with.
This was because this underground city was where Shan Yue had lived for more than ten years since she was young. It was also the headquarters of the organization.
Shan Yue, who had entered an assassin organization since she was young, quickly shone among the same batch of children because she displayed extraordinary talent. Be it ability or temperament, it was not something a child could have. Perhaps this was the talent of a natural killer.
She was also chosen by Ji Chen, who claimed that he would never take in disciples in his life, breaking a precedent for decades. After finding a successor, Ji Chen taught her everything he had learned in his life for more than ten years, allowing Shan Yue to quickly rise.
At the age of 17, Shan Yue had already made outstanding contributions. No matter what mission the organization gave her, she could complete it perfectly. In the end, she successfully replaced Ji Chen on the organization’s assassin rankings and became the new number one.
The more such a development happened, the more dissatisfied some people in the organization were. Some people had worked for the organization for decades but had not had such a status. Why could Shan Yue climb so quickly?
However, even if they were dissatisfied, under the strict hierarchy of the organization, no one dared to brazenly compete with Shan Yue. Firstly, people who were enemies with Shan Yue would die miserably in the end. Secondly, being enemies with Shan Yue was equivalent to being enemies with Ji Chen. Ji Chen’s status was absolutely stable, and no one could shake it.
In the history that had been passed down for generations, the organization was built by Ji Chen and the boss, Ji Yun. Ji Chen’s status was equivalent to the second-in-command of the organization.
In the early stages of the organization’s establishment, the rise of a new force would definitely attract the envy of the surrounding people, so the challenges the two of them encountered were far greater than opportunities. In the chaotic society at that time, the two of them helped each other and gradually became good brothers who lived and died together.
Ji Chen, who was used to freedom, took the initiative to give up his position as the boss because the second-in-command didn’t have to worry so much.
In recent years, Ji Yun had often traveled outside and rarely asked about the internal affairs of the organization. The others could not find any traces of him at all and he would only come back occasionally.
Ji Chen, who originally didn’t like to be nosy, was now managing most of the organization’s matters.
In a dark little room in the underground city, a master and disciple were whispering to each other. If Shan Yue was here, she would definitely recognize one of them because he was the assassin who had carried out the assassination in Dong Yan’s ward. His code name was “Blood Tribulation”. However, because of Shan Yue’s sudden appearance, the mission failed.
“Master, I’ve already found the person who stopped me from completing the Tang Corporation’s bounty mission last time. However, I didn’t expect her to be just a university student.”
Blood Tribulation’s eyes were filled with obvious hatred. “As long as I complete that mission, I can successfully enter the assassin rankings. It’s all that woman’s fault for ruining my plans and making people mock me.”
The old man in front of him opened his eyes slightly and an old voice entered his ears. “You’re still young. There are still many opportunities in the future. The future will be the world of you young people. However, what makes me curious is that an ordinary person can actually stop you.”
“She looks like an ordinary student, but she must be deliberately hiding her skills. However, it’s indeed my fault for underestimating her and not taking her seriously, causing me to suffer.”
The old man gently stroked the long white beard under his jaw. “Have you found out her identity?”
