After taking out two guards, Ling Chen quickly rushed forward, catching the bodies as they fell to prevent any noise from disturbing Reylov inside the barracks.
Dragging the bodies into the bushes nearby, Ling Chen flicked his wrist, his fingertips tightly clutching Wolf Kiss, and walked straight to the entrance of the barracks, took hold of the doorknob, and gently pushed the door inward.
Inside the room, it was pitch-black, except for a bleak moonlight shining through a window at the top of the room. Ling Chen squinted his eyes, treaded lightly, and quietly entered the room, looking around. He saw a bed against the north wall, under whose covers lay a person.
The corners of Ling Chen’s mouth lifted slightly, and he silently approached the bed. Without waiting for any reaction from the individual, he suddenly flipped the covers and swung his hand-blade toward Reylov.
However, the mont the covers were lifted, Ling Chen froze. To his surprise, there was no person under the covers, rely a human-shaped doll.
Darn it! It’s a trap!
The thought had just arisen when an intense unease surged in Ling Chen’s heart, prompting him to look down imdiately. Just then, an arm holding a military dagger erged from under the bed, stabbing toward his legs.
Amidst the shock, although Ling Chen was panicked, his body reacted swiftly, retracting backward to dodge the dagger’s stab.
Unable to hit his target, the arm clutching the dagger quickly withdrew. Following that, a dark figure rolled out from underneath the bed, leaped from the ground, waving the sharp military dagger, and lunged at Ling Chen.
As the cold light approached, Ling Chen didn’t hesitate and countered with a powerful kick.
Reylov was skilled, but only moderately so. Compared to a Tiger List expert like Ling Chen, he was still far lacking.
After missing his strike, Ling Chen’s foot accurately kicked Reylov’s abdon, sending him flying. Not allowing Reylov’s body to hit the ground, Ling Chen swiftly closed in, grasped his wrist, pulled him inward, and pressed the sharp Wolf Kiss against Reylov’s neck.
"If you don’t want to die, better stay still," Ling Chen rebuked in English.
With his life held in another’s hands, Reylov promptly dropped his dagger and cooperatively said, "Let’s talk. Who sent you to kill ? The Central Intelligence Agency, or the Russian security service?"
"You’re overthinking it; I have no connections with them," Ling Chen said, glancing at the doll on the bed and slightly smiling, "Your preparation was indeed thorough."
"It’s just a habit," Reylov replied indifferently. "I’ve experienced too many assassination attempts over the years, so I dare not sleep on the bed, always under it. So, what do you want?"
"Rest assured, I’m not interested in your life; I just want to inquire about soone."
"Who?"
"Nanrong Wanqing."
"Sorry, I’ve never heard that na."
Hearing this, Ling Chen frowned slightly, applied a bit more pressure with Wolf Kiss, and created a thin cut on Reylov’s neck, his voice cold, "I don’t have the patience to dally with you. You’re the leader of the Broken Teeth Training Camp; wouldn’t you know if soone ca to your island?"
Reylov, seemingly unfazed by the pain in his neck, calmly stated, "Killing won’t help; I truly don’t know. But I think the person you’re looking for might not be , but a mber of the God Organization; the Nanrong Wanqing you ntioned is likely brought to the island by them."
"Then you still claim you don’t know?"
"I never interfere with the affairs of the God Organization; I rely cooperate with their operations."
"Explain clearly."
"A few years ago, the people from the God Organization approached to build a secret base on this island. For the base’s security, they paid to ensure, should the base face any external threats, Broken Teeth Training Camp would help resolve their issues. Initially, I wanted to refuse, but the paynt they offered was too tempting, so I agreed to their terms. Aside from maintaining the base’s security, I also helped them train a group of soldiers; those people you see on the training field outside are all mbers of the God Organization."
Hearing Reylov’s explanation, Ling Chen thought of the man locked in the prison, resembling Blood Wolf.
"The man you’re keeping in prison, who is he?" Since Kaelina wouldn’t speak, he could only seek the truth from Reylov.
"That lunatic? That’s soone the God Organization handed over to , asking to give him special training," Reylov said, unable to resist grinning.
"What are you laughing at?" Ling Chen inquired, perplexed.
"You specifically asking about that lunatic implies you’re thinking the sa as I did. When you first saw that man, did you think he was Blood Wolf? I’ll be honest, I was stunned too. Blood Wolf is a top assassin I personally trained; he has no siblings, and in this world, it’s impossible for two people to look exactly identical unless soone’s had plastic surgery."
"Plastic surgery?" A thought flashed through Ling Chen’s mind, providing a plausible explanation. Thinking for a mont, he continued, "Why would the God Organization do this?"
"How would I know? I just carry out what they assign to do, nothing else. Asking is futile."
"Then where should I look for them?"
"This is the eastern side of the island, and the God Organization’s secret base is on the western side. If you want to find them, you’ll have to go to the other end of the island."
"How can I be sure you won’t alert them if I let you go?" Ling Chen asked.
Reylov chuckled, "Don’t worry, I’m not the kind of person who betrays for money; no amount can compare to my life. However, I do have an agreent with the God Organization; if they’re in trouble, I must send troops to protect them. But, I can give you three hours. During these three hours, whatever happens at the base, I won’t take any action. If you can’t accomplish what you want within these three hours, don’t bla ."
Hearing this, Ling Chen hesitated, unsure whether to trust Reylov or not.
"Let him go."
At this mont, Kaelina walked in from outside, adding, "I can vouch for him; he won’t deceive us."
Seeing Kaelina, Reylov’s smile grew even brighter.
"Kaelina, my most outstanding student, you haven’t co to see for a long ti."
"I did want to see you, just afraid you wouldn’t dare to et ," Kaelina coldly replied.
"Ha ha!" Reylov laughed loudly: "You understand best. What can I do? Being the third ranked assassin on the assassin list, I’m afraid soone might hire you to kill ."
"I’m not interested in that. We’re here just to find soone; we don’t want to make an enemy out of Broken Teeth Training Camp. If we offended you in any way, I hope you can understand."
Reylov, magnanimously responded, "Considering you were once my most outstanding student, I won’t mind what you did just now."
