Episode 8: Walking a Thousand Miles Chapter 14: Assassination after Assassination
“Dangerous?”
Linley smiled, “How dangerous?”
Seeing Linley like this, Jenny couldn’t help but nod her head a little anxiously and say, “Very dangerous, the eldest mother, she’s currently managing the Chil County City, that’s equivalent to the power of a county city lord.”
Jenny was a bit ashamed, “Big brother Lei, I’m really sorry that I didn’t tell you some of this before. You don’t have to risk your life for us. It’s not worth it.”
“Haha ……”
Linley laughed, “Not worth it? Actually, I don’t have anything else going on, and being able to protect you guys all the way along the way is something I’ll naturally do. As for danger? Whether it’s dangerous or not, I can understand that much better than you. Alright, Jenny, go back to bed early.”
“Big brother Lei.”
Jenny looked at Linley somewhat dazedly.
“Go back.”
Linley said with a faint smile.
Jenny gave Linley a grateful look, “Thank you, big brother Lei.”
However, Jenny looked solemnly at Linley, “But Big Brother Lei, I really don’t want you to risk your life for us.”
“Go back and sleep.”
Linley’s face slumped as he deliberately drank.
Linley had treated Jenny kindly in the past, and now such a stern face had really stunned Jenny.
“Oh.”
As if he were a child, Jenny nodded obediently before turning his head and heading towards the door. In fact, at this moment, Jenny’s heart was still somewhat joyful, after all, Jenny was also an eighteen year old girl, seeing an outstanding young man who was kind to her, it was only natural for her heart to develop a good feeling, she actually didn’t want to separate from Linley just like that.
Jenny walked to the doorway and suddenly dropped her head.
Instead, Jenny spread her face and smiled, saying, “Big brother Lei, you’re actually quite cold when you have a stern face.”
After saying that, Jenny flew out of Linley’s room like a mischievous little girl.
Linley saw this scene. Was crying and laughing.
Taking a deep breath, Linley calmed his mood and continued back to the bed, quietly sitting down on his knees to begin the cultivation of his soul. No matter when or where, Linley didn’t dare to give up cultivation.
Linley couldn’t forget his parents’ revenge.
He couldn’t forget the death of his grandfather Delin!
Unable to forget, the goal of his heart – to uproot the Illuminati!
“One day ……”
Linley’s heart was firm, at the moment he wasn’t looking for a high position of power, he just wanted to be able to cultivate quietly and meditatively. ……
The candles in a room in a separate courtyard in another part of this hotel were however burning all the time, and that red-haired man was sitting indifferently in the room, while the other six people stood.
“This operation was successful. Everyone is good. But once it fails …… you all know Mrs. Weed’s methods.”
The red-haired man said indifferently.
Those six people were all a bit fearful in the bottom of their hearts.
Mrs. Weed’s ruthlessness, when Earl Weed was alive, almost everyone in Chill County City knew that nominally Earl Weed was the city lord, but the substantive city lord was Mrs. Weed.
It is Mrs. Wade’s son, in front of Mrs. Wade is also silent.
Unfortunately, her son died.
According to the rules, the Earl of Weed’s son should inherit the position of City Lord. How could Lady Wilder allow a countryside sibling to seize power?
“Captain please don’t worry, we definitely won’t miss this time. That strong man’s strength is strong. But it can’t always protect that sibling at all times.”
One of the six said forcefully.
The others also nodded their heads.
“That’s good, I’ve already sent someone to buy out the boss of this hotel, there are two rooms on the third floor of this hotel’s restaurant, which just happens to be facing the courtyard where that sister and brother are located, when the time comes, four of you will go to those two rooms respectively. The other two people follow me …… remember, the first opportunity to strike, but, our first target is that teenager.”
The red-haired man reminded.
After all, nowadays, Keane had the first right of inheritance.
Jenny, on the other hand, was a woman, and she was going to serve as the city lord. The difficulty was very great.
“Wait for that teenager to appear, then make your move. Kill that teenager and have the chance to kill the woman again.”
The red-haired man said coldly, “Alright, you guys go and wait there now. Maybe that teenager will come out at night to use the restroom or something. Then it will be easier for us to accomplish our mission.”
“Aye. Captain.”
Under the red-haired man’s arrangement, four of the six immediately left the courtyard quietly and headed directly to the hotel’s main building, entering the two rooms that had long been arranged in the third floor.
Today, there was still a curved moon hanging in the sky, and the earth and sky were also illuminated by a faint misty moonlight.
This time, the archers that the red-haired man had brought to the ground were all the elite elements of the Chill County City, and at this level, shooting a teenager without much strength in the courtyard fifty to sixty meters away, that was with complete certainty.
“Captain, what are we doing?”
The other two stood beside the red-haired man and inquired.
The red-haired man said indifferently, “Your mission is …… once the four of them are unable to shoot that teenager. You guys will pretend to be hotel ground attendants and send breakfast over. When you get close to that teenager at that time, you will directly kill him with one move.”
“Captain!”
These two were instantly anxious.
Pretending to be messengers to assassinate, but they had to know that the strong man who possessed the Black Panther was right next to them, even if the two of them succeeded, would they still have the life to escape?
“Hmph.”
The red-haired man turned his head to look at them coldly, “You two have no choice, this time, the eight of you followed me here, your loved ones. Mrs. Weed has long since taken control. Once you fail in your mission, not only are you unlucky. Your whole family is finished. And if you succeed, even if you die, your loved ones will be treated generously.”
These two blanched a little.
“The two of you should know Mrs. Weed’s methods, and you should also know my methods.”
The red-haired man said coldly.
This red-haired man, although nominally their captain, in reality, the red-haired man was one of Madame Weed’s loyal ground dogs, killing without mercy.
“Of course, if the four of them succeed, you won’t have to take the risk.”
The red-haired man said blandly, “You will pray now, for the blessing of the God of Martial Arts.”
Those two were silent.
They were the so-called elite warriors of the county’s army, but how could a small person like them fight against Lady Wyrd? And there was the red-haired man staring in front of them. ……
The four archers who stayed in the two rooms on the third floor of the hotel’s main building at the moment were all resting alternately. One of them rested while the other policed them to stay in top condition, and once Keane appeared. They could completely shout to wake up the person next to them.
Night, gradually passed.
This night, Keane hadn’t taken a step out of the room, and the sky was gradually brightening up, and the morning air sobered up the four archers a lot.
“Creak.”
The door to the room opened.
“Out.”
The archer all warned to his partner beside him.
The four archers in the two rooms had their hearts hanging in the air almost simultaneously, and one of them all peeked through the edge of the window floor towards the courtyard where Jenny and Keane were.
“It’s the female, don’t worry, wait.”
The archers all waited quietly. ……
Pushing open the door to the room, Jenny’s face was filled with smiles. Ever since she knew that Linley wasn’t leaving to continue protecting them. Although she knew that the journey was dangerous, Jenny was still happy in her heart.
“Ah, the air is good.”
Jenny closed her eyes and took a deep breath.
And then Jenny walked towards her brother’s room next to her, her clear voice rang out, “Keane, get up, don’t sleep.”
With that Jenny knocked on Keane’s room.
Hearing Jenny’s voice, Linley, who was in the middle of his cultivation, also opened his eyes, as for the black striped cloud panther ‘Heilu’ that was lying under Linley’s bed, his eyes didn’t even open. ……
Keane pulled open the door to his room with his pajamas on, rubbing his drowsy eyes. Tutting, he said, “Sister, what are you doing so early? I haven’t woken up yet, it’s been a long time since I’ve had a good night’s sleep.”
And at this moment, the eyes of the archers in the two rooms on the third floor of that hotel’s main building in the distance lit up.
“Target appears.”
All four archers took out their bows and arrows at almost the same time, ready to shoot. ……
“Miss, Young Master, you guys got up quite early.”
The old servant Lambert also pushed open the door of the room.
“Good morning Grandpa Lambert.”
Jenny greeted warmly.
Keane, who was bulging his mouth and drooping his eyes, said, “Grandpa Lambert, it wasn’t me who got up early, it was my sister who he shouted at me to get up.”
And just then – “Release.”
In one of the rooms on the third floor of the hotel’s main building, an archer drank in a low voice. At that moment, two archers straightened their bodies at the same time, exposing their bows and arrows completely at the window.
“Shoo!”
“Shoo!”
Two sharp arrows burst out from the window almost simultaneously, while the two archers in the other room also shot out at the same time.
“Shoo!”
“Shoo!”
Two arrows, one from the front and one from the back, cut through space in the blink of an eye and arrived directly in front of Keane and Jenny’s ground. These two arrows, two of them shot towards Keane. Two of them were directed at Jenny.
At this moment …… Linley was still in his room and hadn’t come out, and the old servant Lambert was still nearly ten meters away from the siblings. With Lambert’s speed it was simply too late to intercept.
“Miss!”
Lambert only had time to exclaim.
Jenny and Keane both seemed to sense danger and both turned their heads to look. But the two of them, the siblings, only saw the arrow that was getting closer and closer in their pupils.
The arrow’s metallic arrowhead pierced through the air, emitting an ear-piercing whistling sound.
“Puh!”
“Puh!”
“Pfft!”
“Puff!”
Four consecutive loud sounds. ……
The two siblings, Jenny and Keane, stood frozen in place and didn’t move, and next to them, Lambert was completely stunned, and at this moment, only a ‘creak’ could be heard as Linley’s room opened.
Linley walked out of the room.
“Bebe, over to you.”
At this moment, Bebe was standing in front of the two siblings, Jenny and Keane, and just now, in a split second Bebe had easily managed to continuously hit four arrows in the first place.
After suffering an assassination yesterday, Linley had a premonition that that group of people wouldn’t just give up. So let Bebe sleep right outside at night. Being carefully on guard.
With Bebe’s size, curled up in the weeds in the courtyard, not to mention those archers, even Jenny and Keane didn’t notice.
“Boss, watch me.”
Bebe licked his lips excitedly.
“Shoo.”
Only to see a black residual shadow cutting through the air at great speed, the height of nearly ten meters was not the slightest difficulty at all, Beibei directly leaped into the window. And see the attack failed four archers, and then see that small shadow mouse, the heart under a tremor immediately to escape.
But before they could leave the room door. Bebe entered one of the rooms.
Two claw shadows flashed, and the two archers fell directly inside a pool of blood. Bebe directly hit the wall hard. He made a big hole and scurried directly into another room.
The other two archers were busy opening the door to escape.
When they looked back, they saw a black shadow that scurried over, the two of them didn’t even have time to shout, ”Puff!” ”Puff!” The sound of two sharp claws cutting through blood vessels rang out.
Bebe looked at the two corpses on the ground with full concern, instantly turned back and scurried out of the window and back into the courtyard. This coming and going took less than half a minute.
“Bebe, not bad.”
Linley praised with a smile.
Bebe raised his head proudly, and at this moment, the black-striped cloud panther next to him, ‘Blackru’, growled lowly in dissatisfaction at Bebe, “Hmph, I’ll go, faster than still.”
Bebe immediately growled lowly in dissatisfaction at ‘Blackru’.
Linley was too lazy to advise Bebe and Blackru, instead walking towards Jenny and Keane, who were still in a daze. Experiencing two life and death crises in two days, the two of them had never been in such danger in the past, even though they had been bullied.
“It’s okay, it’s okay.”
Linley could only comfort this sibling duo.
After the siblings calmed down, Linley inquired to Lambert next to him, “Lambert, you’ve made a reservation for breakfast today, right?”
“Booked, I guess in a little while, the hotel will send someone to send it over.”
Lambert, however, looked at Linley gratefully.
