Chen Peize left Lake Castle by boat alone, and after a mont, the boat docked at a pier. He jumped ashore and walked along a tree-lined path by the lake.
Facing him, a masked man appeared in front of Chen Peize.
"The person, is it taken care of?"
Chen Peize looked at the man with the mask across from him, sniffing the air: "Mm, the scent is correct."
The person beneath the mask furrowed their brow and suddenly leaped backward on the balls of their feet, looking at Chen Peize: "Who are you?"
Chen Peize let out a hey and stretched out his hand to remove the mask from his face, tossing it aside.
"Are you asking again?"
"I am the one here to take your damn life."
The Scorpion’s pupils contracted as he looked coldly at Chen Peize in front of him: "Big talk." The other person wasn’t one of his underlings; Scorpion knew every one of his assassins.
Moreover, he was aware of their identities, familiar with each detail and habit, and the one he had sent to kill Li Feng was an assassin who had a relatively close relationship with Scorpion.
Chen Peize’s lips curled into a smirk.
"Is that so!"
With that, Chen Peize darted forward, pouncing towards Xuan Bing like a tiger descending a mountain; Scorpion snorted coldly, for he was a master of National Martial Arts, a practitioner of Hua Jin.
If the other had attacked stealthily just now, perhaps there might have been a slight chance, but in a head-on battle, the other was worth nothing.
Scorpion spread his fingers, readying the Iron Sand Palm.
A palm infused with Dark Strength lashed out towards Chen Peize, who, agile as a mountain cat, flashed out of the way, evading Xuan Bing’s Iron Sand Palm and instantly coming up close, a glint of murderous intent flashing in his eyes.
In the next instant, a cold light burst forth.
Chen Peize brushed past Scorpion and stood to the side, saying coldly, "Killing soone isn’t done like that."
Chen Peize beckoned with his finger, a nearly invisible wire sweeping across Scorpion’s neck, retracting into a ring on Chen Peize’s finger.
As Chen Peize walked away, Scorpion reached for his neck, only to find that, with that touch, blood gushed out like a fountain.
"Ah!"
Tourists scread in panic, as Chen Peize, with a cold smirk, disappeared into the crowd. It wasn’t long before another assassin from the world ran into Chen Peize and was killed.
"What’s going on?"
"You’re asking ? How would I know? Scorpion’s been killed."
"There’s a traitor among us. We have a traitor, ah, ah..."
Screams of an assassin poured out of the Bluetooth earpiece.
The remaining assassins from the world stopped in their tracks, a betrayer?
That’s right.
There must be soone who has betrayed them. The guy who went to the Lake to kill earlier, he must have wanted to hog all the benefits, take out Scorpion and claim the bounty for himself alone.
Damn it.
Chen Peize removed the Bluetooth earpiece from his ear; these assassins were indeed vigilant, taking flight at the sign of danger without any sense of loyalty.
But could soone he had set his sights on escape?
"The hunt is not over yet."
From the middle of the lake, Li Feng could see the commotion on the shore; the assassins were in for it this ti.
It was just that Li Feng did not expect that after not seeing him for seven or eight years, this kid had co down from the mountains.
But where had this kid started tracking him from, the train station?
Also, with the offspring of hidden lineages descending, it looked like things were going to get lively.
Li Feng took a deep breath, turned, and woke Wang Qian’er; Wang Qian sat up with a start, "Feng, are we dead?"
Li Feng looked at Wang Qian: "We’re both still alive. Are you all right? We can’t stay here any longer; we need to get going."
The noise from before, combined with the commotion now, ant the police would be arriving any minute, slow as they might be. They had to leave.
"I’m still okay, but Brother Feng, you...!"
"I can hold on."
Li Feng and Wang Qian dived directly into the water from Lake Castle and swam to shore. Afterward, they blended into the chaotic crowd and left the the park. The Assassin had chosen the park as the place to strike precisely for the ease of action, which inadvertently helped the two of them escape.
"Brother Feng, are we going ho now?"
Wang Qian supported Li Feng’s arm.
"We can’t go back for now, get a mobile phone." Li Feng said, their phones were waterlogged and out of commission. Wang Qian nodded, borrowed a phone from a passerby, and Li Feng called Zhang Wannian.
Squeak.
Over half an hour later, Zhang Wannian pulled up in his car at the roadside. As he opened the door, he saw Li Feng and Wang Qian dressed in the park’s cartoon couple costus. His surprise froze when he saw Li Feng’s complexion.
"Are you hurt?"
"Don’t ask, just help into the car." Li Feng said irritably. This ti, he had embarrassed himself, running straight into Chen Peize.
Zhang Wannian humd affirmatively and helped Li Feng into the car.
"First, find an ancient dicine shop."
Zhang Wannian drove away from the the park. Li Feng used his phone to write down a prescription. Once they reached the dicine shop, he had Zhang Wannian fetch the dicine according to the list.
In no ti.
Zhang Wannian returned with the dicine: "I’ve got most of the herbs you listed, but this place doesn’t have the century-old ginseng."
"Do we have everything else?"
"Yeah."
"Good. I’ll get the ginseng delivered. Where’s Han Xue staying now?"
"She’s staying in a villa at Cloud Water Interlude."
"Let’s go there first."
Although Li Feng had several safehouses in Sea City, those were for ergencies. Going ho wasn’t an option right now since he couldn’t explain his injuries without causing worry. Most importantly, if they went back in the current state, with Wang Qian the way she was, it would be awkward if Sister Bai saw.
Zhang Wannian drove towards Cloud Water Interlude.
Han Xue was taken aback upon seeing Li Feng helped into the villa: "Are you hurt? Did Chen Muyang play dirty with you again?"
"It has nothing to do with him."
"Co in first, then let’s talk."
Han Xue nodded, letting Li Feng and Wang Qian enter the villa. Aside from Zhang Wannian, there were a few bodyguards in the villa, and Cloud Water Interlude was not just any suburban villa complex, but a high-end residential area at the center of Sea City. It was mainly to prevent any harm to her.
Chen Muyang had failed in his last attempt to take over the Century Group, losing his right to succession. Yet, he hadn’t given up. Li Feng’s previous assassination attempt in Tiger Hill Cetery had co to her knowledge eventually.
She knew that Muyang’s people had not abandoned their efforts.
Li Feng took a shower, changed into clean clothes, and looked better. He ca out of the room, and Zhang Wannian approached him.
"What exactly happened?"
Zhang Wannian asked.
"I got ambushed. Nearly capsized in the sewer. It wasn’t Chen Muyang; it was a group of Assassins from Jin City."
Zhang Wannian didn’t ask further, helped Li Feng downstairs, and Li Feng imdiately slled Chinese dicine. Han Xue ca out of the kitchen upon seeing Li Feng.
"I heard from Wannian that you’re missing the ginseng. I have so; it was previously stored at ho for Mr. Cheng’s nourishnt."
After saying this, Han Xue’s gaze swept towards Li Feng. She was worldly after all, and could easily tell that the young woman Li Feng had brought back was problematic.
n, they’re really all the sa.
They took a seat in the living room.
"Is Chen Muyang making trouble again recently?"
