Chapter 131 Beating The Killer



In the flurry of knife thrusts, Bai Chen’s heart was beating fast with caution. His eyes were fixed on Hei Chang’s every movement.

At the same time, he was dodging all Hei Chang’s attacks easily.

“How in the world?!?” Hei Chang’s patience ran out. He stopped his attacks and jumped back a few steps.

“How did he evade all my attacks?” His lips trembled before exclaiming this with extreme confusion.

Hei Chang’s heart was filled with disbelief. He could not accept that the technique with which he had killed dozens of targets could do nothing to Bai Chen.

‘This is not good. I can’t complete this task today,’ Hei Chang thought to himself and prepared to run.

He knew now that with Bai Chen here, he would never be able to kill Xu Xin Tong.

It was obvious since his skilled knife attacks could be avoided by Bai Chen without him receiving a single injury.

When he decided to run, Hei Chang did not hesitate. He looked to the alley beside the coffee shop, then started sprinting towards it at a relatively high speed.

With his strong physical condition, he reached the inside of the alley in the blink of an eye.

‘Even if the assassination failed, it won’t be that easy to stop me.’

Hei Chang laughed to himself confidently. His two feet moved swiftly, taking his body into the small alley in a flash.

Who could have known that when he arrived at the entrance, a hand swept over from the side and hit the side of his head?

Bam!

Hei Chang flew aside like a piece of paper. His eyes widened; his ear hurt, the side of his head went numb while his body fell to the ground, bounced a couple of times, and landed in front of a clothes shop.

“Argh!” Hei Chang, the skillful assassin, howled painfully.

Bai Chen did not care. He ran towards Hei Chang, who was rolling around in pain and prepared to stomp his face hard.

“D... don’t!” Hei Chang’s eyes almost popped out of their sockets. His paper-white face showed clear panic.

However, his voice was simply like a gust of passing wind. Bai Chen paid it no mind at all.

Smack!

An entire foot bashed into Hei Chang’s face violently. Hei Chang’s nose broke; blood poured out. Four teeth in his mouth broke off. The blood covering his mouth flowed out like water.

The force of Bai Chen’s foot made Hei Chang’s head hit the ground hard. He fell unconscious because of all the pain his face had received.

Bai Chen was panting a little. He let out a sigh. He was relieved he had rendered Hei Chang, a very competent assassin, unconscious.

“W... what is this?” Xu Xin Tong who was watching from not too far away could not help but exclaim.

She had been frightened since she had seen Hei Chang throw himself at Bai Chen and wield his knife with frightening skill.

She had really been concerned for him at the time. But she did not expect that Bai Chen would both escape uninjured and knock Hei Chang unconscious.

Because Bai Chen was the one who jumped in to save her life from Hei Chang, it was normal that she might feel stressful and afraid he would injure.

Once he dodged from Hei Chang’s knife, everyone who witnessed the event seemed to be relief when they saw that Bai Chen could handle Hei Chang.

Ding!

[Mission Complete!]

Mission 21: Create a debt of gratitude. (Success)

Reward: You have received 30 points and the opportunity to receive special skills or items at random!

Bai Chen looked at Hei Chang for a while before he heard a notification sound in his mind. The mission window popped up again.

He looked at the window showing the mission’s success with satisfaction. He felt that it was worth the fatigue and the risk he had had to take.

“Thank you very much for saving my life...”

Bai Chen was looking at the mission window when a voice sounded behind him.

He quickly turned to look. It was from the pretty lady with a cold expression. The one Mission 21 had asked him to save.

Though it was thanks, it did not carry with it the warmth of gratitude at all. On the contrary, it was stiff and was even rather cold. It was very unlike thanks.

Her pretty face did not show any emotions, either. It was as coldly expressionless as the first time he saw her.

“No problem. That was nothing.” Bai Chen still replied to her, even though her outward manner was like that.

Xu Xin Tong looked at Bai Chen. The pretty pair of eyes moved back and forth. She knew she should have thanked him in a friendlier manner, but she could not. She was not one for caring about others. She hardly ever smiled, nor laughed, no matter the situation.

She was only proficient in expressing anger and coldness.

This was how she had been since childhood. It was not something that could be easily changed.

“It was not nothing,” Xu Xin Tong said, shaking her head. “He came here to kill me. He was a professional killer, and a good one at that.”

Bai Chen did not expect her to say that. But in any case, he agreed with her. Hei Chang was really a good assassin. If it had not been for the low-grade martial arts technique, they both might have already been dead by Hei Chang’s hands.

“That is true,” Bai Chen said. He saw a lot of people start to gather around the crime scene. His brows furrowed as he thought it was time to leave this place.

“You’ll have to excuse me. I have important matters to attend to after this.”

Bai Chen certainly did not want to attract any attention, so he wanted to leave the scene as quickly as he could.

After saying goodbye, he turned around to leave, but Xu Xin Tong grabbed his arm.

“Wait. Take this. If you run into any trouble, call me,” Xu Xin Tong said quickly before pushing her business card into his hand.

Bai Chen had to accept it with a nod before running at top speed into a back alley.

Xu Xin Tong watch his back disappear with a particular feeling that was hard to explain.

Initially, she had wanted to buy him a meal as thanks. But when she saw that he did not want attention, she no longer wanted to stop him. She could only hope that he would call so she could pay him back.

Even though Xu Xin Tong might seem heartless, she would never think to not pay back a person who had saved her from mortal danger.

Not long after, a police car siren rang out from afar. The scene of the incident was flooded with a huge crowd in an instant.
