Time-Space Assassin!
(Monthly ticket bonus chapter!)_6 If all my deductions are correct,
I’m now facing two formidable enemies:
The mysterious old man and Kevin Walker’s faction.
And,
Jask and the Time-Space Assassin’s faction.
“They’ve e to attack me at home…”
Lin Xian cursed under his breath:
“I must take the initiative to strike.”
No matter what, it’s impossible to stay in Donghai City now.
Though I don’t know why,
the Time-Space Assassin seems to only target me in Donghai City; paratively, Copenhagen and abroad are safer.
But I can’t just keep hiding in Copenhagen, can I?
I must find a way to get close to either Jask or Kevin Walker…
In the end, I have to break the game with one of them.
pared to Kevin Walker, who hides in the shadows without a trace, Jask, who is in the public eye, is obviously easier to approach and investigate.
“World’s richest, immigrant to Mars dreamer, creator of Starlink, owner of Twitter…”
Lin Xian recited Jask’s titles silently:
“President of Tesla, launcher of Starship rockets, seller of space travel tickets, playboy…”
Lin Xian paused.
“Playboy.”
This world’s richest man’s private life is incredibly colorful, involving female singers, female stars, Hollywood actresses; he’s the top playboy worldwide.
“Hollywood actresses…”
Lin Xian remembered an old acquaintance.
She stopped him in the parking lot at the Donghai City mendation ceremony;
handed him the keys to Einstein’s House inside the Alphard business vehicle;
stepped out of the car in front of the Peninsula Hotel, turned her head back:
“If one day, you really decide to e to Princeton…”
She made a ‘six’ gesture with her left hand, pressed it against her cheek, raised her eyebrows and smiled at me, her red lips lightly moving:
“call me.”
…
Lin Xian straightened up from his seat.
Peering through the bullet-ridden rooftop into the pitch-black night that had turned into early morning, gazing at the stars above.
Angelica.
The last of the Seven Sins, Lust.
Her adoptive father Ji Xinshui and her brother Ji Lin had both died…
But she was more rational, knowing that there was more to their deaths, surely related to the Genius Club, hence she didn’t blame me.
That’s why, when she came to China to find me, she kept asking over and over again:
“Tell me the truth about Ji Lin’s death, tell me what the Genius Club really is.”
She also asked me:
“If one day, you really find the Genius Club, find the killer of Ji Lin’s parents, will you help Ji Lin take revenge?”
Of course,
I didn’t answer either of her questions.
I could see that Angelica was very keen on avenging Ji Xinshui and Ji Lin.
But that was their business, not mine, I wasn’t about to share valuable information with her at the time; furthermore…
that was my trump card, how could I reveal it so easily?
But in the end, Angelica did not give up.
She wrote down her phone number on a business card with an eyebrow pencil and handed it to herself.
Perhaps, she had always been waiting for his call, waiting to take revenge for Ji Xinshui and Ji Lin.
Lin Xian turned on his phone and opened the photo gallery.
Inside was a photo of the business card with Angelica’s cell phone number on it.
Lin Xian always had a good habit; even if he thought something was useless and wanted to throw it away, he would first take a photo with his phone camera to keep a record.
If he really needed it, he could find it; if not, it just took up a bit of phone storage space, which was harmless.
It seemed.
Now was the time to ally with this woman who also wanted to know the truth about the Genius Club and also sought revenge for Ji Lin…
Angelica.
Ji Lin once said that Angelica was a woman of great initiative.
Li Xian believed this too; after all, Angelica was about his age, but had been able to thrive in the plex world of Hollywood from a young age—she surely had her means.
He didn’t think of Angelica as his rade.
But in this critical moment when he must unite all the forces he could…
The enemy of his enemy was his friend.
He now had chips enough to negotiate with Angelica—
The truth behind the deaths of Ji Lin and Ji Xinshui, the Black Hand, Copernicus, and the murders of Ji Lin’s parents, the Genius Club, Kevin Walker, and Jask.
“Anyway, with that Time-Space Assassin around, I can’t stay in Donghai City any longer.
Since I have to go abroad…
I might as well make another trip to Princeton,” Lin Xian said to himself.
“Moreover, once out of the country, especially in Mi Country…
my bat ability will be stronger.
Even if I encounter the Time-Space Assassin again, I won’t be so passive,” he continued.

Lin Xian looked through the several dozen flight tickets he had just purchased, finding one with a departure from Hongqiao Airport in Donghai City to Princeton, America in the nearest time.
“Xiao Li, head to Hongqiao Airport,” he manded.
“Sure thing, President Lin,” came the reply.
As the Alphard business vehicle took the next turn onto the overpass, Lin Xian memorized the phone number Angelica had written in eyebrow pencil, added the international dialing code for Mi Country, and dialed the phone number that was a year overdue…
Soon, the call connected.
On the other end, the woman with a natural grasp of Chinese said in a light laugh:
“Long time no see, Mr.
Lin.
Your call has been hard to wait for, and if it were any later…
I might have forgotten about you entirely.”
“Good things take time,” Lin Xian also said with a smile.
“I fear…
it’s not a good thing, is it, Mr.
Lin?”
On the other end of the phone, the Oscar-winning actress known as The Chameleon Witch chuckled:
“If I’m not mistaken…
you must be in trouble, right?
Otherwise, you wouldn’t be calling me.”
“But that’s fine, in fact, I hope you are in trouble…
because only then will you be willing to exchange information with me.”
“So tell me, are you ready to reveal the truth about the Genius Club, as well as the killer of the old man, Ji Lin, and Ji Lin’s parents?” she asked.
Lin Xian switched the phone to his other hand:
“Tell me, after you know the truth and the identity of the killer, what will you do?” he asked.
“Hehe.”
Angelica let out a light chuckle on the call:
“What else can I do?
Could I find a director and a screenwriter to make a documentary film about them?”
“I can tell you frankly, even though Ji Xinshui and Ji Lin are not my blood relatives…
the kindness of fostering is greater than that of kinship, and I’ve always regarded Ji Lin as a brother.
So, if you truly can tell me who the murderer is…”
On the phone, the playful laughter suddenly ceased.
In its place came an icy coldness as cold as snow descending:
“[I will kill them.]”
“Can you get a gun?” Lin Xian asked, getting to the heart of his concern.
“Easily, Mr.
Lin.
You have to remember, this is the land of the free—America,” she replied confidently.
“Good, Angelica,” Lin Xian remarked with a light laugh, gazing at the moon in the sky.
“See you in Princeton,” he concluded.
