Join the ServerJi Wenyan gritted his teeth against the pain in his body, chasing after his parents and explaining for a long time before he finally made things clear.
But seeing the knowing looks on Ji Wenlin and Gong Yingying’s faces, it was obvious that even a clear explanation wouldn’t help.
He couldn’t wash himself clean even if he jumped into the Yellow River!
“Ji Wenyan, should I not have left the door open?”
“It’s fine. My parents are just overthinking. Don’t take it to heart.”
Just as Ji Wenyan was feeling exasperated with his parents, Bai Mengze, who had stayed in the room, saw him return and immediately asked with some concern.
Earlier, Bai Mengze had thought about whether to close the door…
But she remembered that many people had seen her enter Ji Wenyan’s room. Although there was nothing between them, she still needed to avoid suspicion.
So Bai Mengze thought it was better to leave the door open to prevent any gossip.
Now, it seemed she had been overthinking.
“Next time, I won’t leave the door open.”
“Don’t! If you close the door, my parents will probably start thinking about names for their grandchildren.”
“…”
As they spoke, Bai Mengze’s face suddenly turned red after hearing Ji Wenyan’s words.
When Ji Wenyan realized what he had just said was inappropriate, and saw Bai Mengze’s cheeks flush, he blushed too.
Dear God, what had he just said?!
Thinking about grandchildren’s names—that was a bit too early.
“Ahem, anyway, it’s nothing serious. You should go back and rest! Don’t worry about tomorrow… Oh, right, Bai Mengze, come shopping with me tomorrow! I’ve been having bad luck lately, and it’s driving me crazy. Since tomorrow is the weekend, let’s relax completely.”
Sensing the atmosphere becoming indescribable, Ji Wenyan quickly spoke to break the awkwardness, mentioning their shopping trip tomorrow.
Tomorrow, he could try to improve Bai Mengze’s aesthetic attribute!
If it worked, Ji Wenyan would have enough confidence to complete the main quest later.
Now, aside from the aesthetic attribute, he had almost figured out how to improve the other four. He hoped bringing Bai Mengze to the art exhibition would yield good progress.
“Are you sure your body is okay?”
“It’s fine. I’ll be good as new after a good night’s sleep.”
“Alright, let’s go shopping together tomorrow!”
After hearing Ji Wenyan’s words, Bai Mengze was still worried about his health. Only when Ji Wenyan assured her that he was fine did she nod in agreement.
They had encountered a lot at the cemetery today. Normally, it wouldn’t be advisable to go out again.
But now, Bai Mengze had a mysterious trust in Ji Wenyan, as if no matter what happened, he could handle it effortlessly.
So even if there was danger, she wasn’t afraid!
But what should she wear tomorrow?
****
“Chief, let’s head back.”
“How many brothers are down?”
“Four…”
“Damn it. That damn client knew the target wasn’t normal!”
At the cemetery, hearing his subordinate report the current situation, Grantham angrily threw his gun to the ground. Still unsatisfied, he stomped hard on the gun barrel, his heart burning with rage.
When he accepted this job on the Dark Web, seeing that it was just a high school student from Z country, Grantham thought it would be an easy task.
A piece of cake, a gift from heaven!
But even though the mission was simple, the client paid a huge sum, specifically requesting that he come to Z country to carry it out.
Grantham had taken it as a paid vacation, a chance to taste the world-famous cuisine of Z country and see if it was really that good.
And it was—absolutely amazing!
The rich broths, the sweet and spicy flavors—just thinking about them made his mouth water. He even decided to come back on his own someday to eat his way through all of Z country’s cuisine.
But just as Grantham was in a great mood, he received an update on the target’s movements from the client. Without lingering on the food, he led his men to quickly set up an ambush at the cemetery.
Along the way, they scattered a lot of iron spikes to prepare for the later stages.
If the target called for reinforcements, it would be trouble!
As the leader of a professional assassin organization, Grantham felt no guilt about taking the life of a high school student.
After all, in his career, he had killed many people.
Men and women, young and old — all of them.
Though he killed innocent people, he also faced retaliation from their relatives and friends.
Even if he died suddenly one day, Grantham had long since prepared a grave, intending to be buried there in secret, ending this life.
But now, he wasn’t dead; instead, his men, who had been with him for years, were killed!
And they were killed by their own people!
The more he thought about it, the angrier he got.
“The target… he’s not human; he’s a demon!”
“No matter what he is, I will never get involved with this person again. I’ll also post on the Dark Web that the Black Eagle Organization failed the mission.”
“What! Chief, that’s committing suicide. If this news gets out, we’ll lose face in front of other organizations!”
Upon hearing Grantham’s plan, the subordinate immediately showed disapproval. He thought that since the Black Eagles were a world-class assassination organization, admitting failure would make them a laughingstock!
It was just one mission in Z country. No need to take it to heart!
Besides, that target named Ji Wenyan wasn’t even human!
He couldn’t be judged by normal standards!
“Hmph, the client completely hid their tracks, so I can’t even confront them now! But reputation isn’t a big issue. We can’t suffer in silence; we have to make others pay too!”
“What does the chief mean…”
“Spread the news. If other organizations get tempted and come to Z country to kill Ji Wenyan, and they succeed, they’ll avenge our fallen brothers. If they fail, it’ll thin out their ranks. And even if no organization takes the bait, it’ll ruin the client’s plan to use a borrowed knife to kill, making them regret hiding the target’s detailed information!”
After Grantham laid out his plan, the subordinate was stunned for a moment, then nodded in admiration, thinking that their chief really was sharp.
Quick on the uptake!
Achieving the goal without shedding blood.
And all the Black Eagles had to do was post one message on the Dark Web.
