Chapter 54
A man in a black trench coat with gray hair said slowly with a strange smile on his face.
“In order to protect the hidden professional, [Silver Pope], Tai Yi Academy sent a Gold grade fellow to be her guardian. Advisor, after thinking for so long, have you come up with your final plan?”
Among the five people, a refined man with a cold expression adjusted his special glasses and said coldly, “We can’t seize the hidden professional head-on. Otherwise, if the Gold grade professional of Tai Yi Academy sees us and we leave behind a trail, we’ll get into even more trouble.
“We can’t assassinate this hidden professional right away. Otherwise, the rewards will be discounted. It won’t be worth it for us to travel all the way here from Dragon City.
“Then, according to the information given by the middleman...
“We can start with Lin Sen, the only friend of the hidden professional. We can use threats, bribery, or bewitchment to control him. As long as we can make him work for us, we can kidnap the hidden professional without alerting the Gold-grade professional of Tai Yi Academy.
“Good!
“Let’s go with this plan.”
The white-haired man in the lead chuckled.
He raised his bloody boots and wiped them on fur of the ferocious beast’s corpse before looking at another woman and asking,
“Blood Seven, have you mastered the soul-attacking skill you mentioned?”
The woman’s curvaceous body was hidden under a gray windbreaker. When she heard this, her red lips curled up, and her tanned skin revealed a healthy aura. She blinked her blood-colored eyes and said charmingly,
“Although my plan was disrupted by the sudden arrival of the mission, I still completed this skill in the end!
“As long as the opponent’s mental strength isn’t stronger than mine, I can kill him in one strike and obliterate his soul. Even if his mental strength is stronger than my own, I can severely injure him mentally and paralyze or knock him out.”
“Very good!”
The leader revealed a slightly sinister smile.
“It’s not in vain that the few of us went around exterminating sects and raiding houses until we were called demons to collect resources for you to train your skills. This way, even if those old fellows from Tai Yi Academy send Black-gold grade combat professionals, we can kill the mission target at the very least and leave easily!
“If we really encounter such a situation and paralyze the Black-gold grade professional... Heh, regardless of whether this black gold level is male or female, we can enjoy the taste of a Black-gold grade ‘big shot’!
“Haha-”
The five of them had sadistic smiles on their faces as they looked at the Canaan Safe Zone in the distance. Their eyes were filled with greed and violence.
...
Night fell.
Lin Sen carried many bags and walked out of a luxurious restaurant that was filled with a simple and aristocratic aura.
“That’s it, Senior Sister Qingya. I’ll leave Wan’er in your hands. I’m sending my sister home first. She’s drunk again!”
He held his sister’s soft and slender waist and let her lean softly in his arms.
Lin Sen said to Qingya, who had another drunk girl leaning on her.
Today was the most extravagant and carefree day in Lin Sen’s life, or rather, in the lives of all three of them other than Qingya.
Gu Wan’er was a hidden professional [Silver Pope] who was bound to amount to much.
Lin Sen was a super genius who could rival a Black-gold grade professional. He was an immortal talent from Tai Yi Academy and was guaranteed to reach the Black-gold grade
The promised future made Gu Wan’er and Liu Xiangxiang feel like they were in a dream.
Especially Liu Xiangxiang.
She could no longer tell if today was a dream or reality.
Therefore, with the mentality that it was rare for her to have such a beautiful dream, she started to have fun without any worries.
The effect was surprisingly good.
Lin Sen felt that this was the happiest day for Liu Xiangxiang since their parents left.
Of course.
The days ahead would definitely get better and better.
“Okay, be careful on the road.”
Qingya supported Gu Wan’er and also carried many bags. After bidding farewell to Lin Sen, she drove a car into the distance.
Lin Sen watched as the luxury car carrying the two of them walked further and further away. Then, he half-hugged Liu Xiangxiang and spoke to her like he was comforting a child.
“Gu Wan’er has left. We’re going home too, Sis.”
“Mm... Let’s go home too.”
Liu Xiangxiang seemed to be awake yet groggy as she muttered,
“Let’s walk home. If we take a taxi, reach home instantly and lie on the bed, the dream will end soon...”
Instead, she hugged Lin Sen and leaned her head on his shoulder.
“Walk slower, slower. That way, we’ll wake up later.”
Lin Sen had mixed feelings.
In his heart, Liu Xiangxiang had always been synonymous with being strong.
However, after removing the layers of mental defense, she was also a child who was not much older than him.
It was hard to imagine how much hard work she had carried on her thin shoulders in exchange for a chance for him to grow up safely.
“Alright, let’s take our time.”
Lin Sen leisurely agreed to this small expectation.
Wasn’t this the reason why he risked his life to slaughter ferocious beasts and increase his strength?
...
Under the bright moonlight.
The pedestrians were in groups of twos and threes. Lin Sen supported the drunk Liu Xiangxiang as they strolled on the street under the night sky.
Lin Sen’s mood was unprecedentedly calm.
After an unknown period of time.
The two of them walked to a quiet street. The surroundings were empty, and only the two of them were walking slowly.
Liu Xiangxiang’s breathing gradually stabilized. Her body was completely leaning on Lin Sen.
Lin Sen frowned.
Silently, he draped his coat over her. Then, with a flash, the person in his arms had already been placed into the absolutely safe second farm.
“What a lousy ambush. I could smell your stench from afar. How many days has it been since you last showered?”
It was very abrupt.
After Lin Sen sent Liu Xiangxiang to a safe place, his black eyes swept across a few hidden corners coldly as he mocked.
...
“Advisor, your plan seems to have gone wrong. This kid clearly isn’t easy to control.”
Seeming to know that there was no point in continuing to hide,
the white-haired man in the gray windbreaker walked out of the shadows with a stretch. He looked at Lin Sen with a playful expression that revealed a trace of viciousness.
As he appeared, four figures dressed in dark colors walked out of their hiding places.
They looked at Lin Sen with unfriendly expressions.
When the refined man addressed as the Advisor heard this, he revealed a horrified expression.
He knew very well the consequences of such a huge mistake in his plan.
“Leader, please don’t punish me. According to the intelligence, this guy is just a farmer, that is...”
Boom–
Before he could explain further.
A pair of thin but extremely powerful fists
tore through the wind and compressed the air like a white liquid. With an earth-shattering force, they punched through the refined man’s chest.
Lin Sen’s face turned cold.
He appeared beside the shattered corpse.
“You talk too much.
“Scum.”
On the huge street.
It was as if someone had pressed the pause button on the remaining four people. They looked at the dead Advisor and Lin Sen, who had suddenly appeared beside the corpse, in shock.
They had thought that he was an ant that they could crush at will.
Unexpectedly... the ant that was casually crushed was themselves.
