Chapter 286: Assassin
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
On the rooftop of Jiangxin Building, which was 400 meters away from Mingcui Villa.
A man wearing black gloves put down the high-powered binoculars he had been holding, as a playful smile appeared on his face.
“So that kid is the Hunter, Ye Chen, who has been in the limelight recently?”
A middle-aged man beside him nodded.
“That’s right, he’s Ye Chen.”
The middle-aged man was Fang Dongcheng. He had personally contacted the top assassin of Xuemei Palace, who was the man beside him.
Because his life hinged on the success of this mission, he had gone all out. Failure was not an option!
He glanced at the assassin beside him with some fear, as he could feel the coldness and killing intent the other party exuded.
If this assassin wanted to kill him, it would be a simple matter.
Not only was the assassin strong, but he specialized in killing. He was not one to fight like regular ancient martial artists, and had terrifying methods within his arsenal.
Furthermore, this assassin did not even have a name!
“Don’t underestimate Ye Chen. He has killed countless experts in Jiangnan Province. His strength is unpredictable. He sometimes appears strong, yet at other times weak. Even Huaxia’s Martial Arts Department can’t figure out his background…”
The man sneered.
“That just goes to show that Huaxia’s Martial Arts Department is trash. That kid’s aura is very weak. He might not even be able to withstand three moves from me!”
Fang Dongcheng’s expression changed. This person actually dared to insult Huaxia’s Martial Arts Department!
He was extremely furious. Had he not known how terrifying this man was, he would have attacked.
No matter how strong one was, they would still be bound by Huaxia’s Martial Arts Department!
Fang Dongcheng suppressed the anger in his heart. He did not want this guy in front of him to be overconfident. If the man underestimated Ye Chen, and something went wrong, it would be his head on the chopping block!
“Ye Chen isn’t as simple as you think. You must be careful when dealing with him.”
The man’s lips curved into a devilish smile. “He’s just trash. What’s there to be careful about? Don’t worry. He won’t live to see the sun tomorrow.””
As soon as he finished speaking, the man actually took a step forward, and jumped off the 18th floor!
This scene deeply shocked Fang Dongcheng!
Although ancient martial artists were strong, they could not fly!
He quickly poked his head out to take a look. The moment the man fell, a device on his arm shot out a steel wire, which was attached to some sort of grappling hook. The hook pierced into another building, and the man used the steel wire to swing over to the roof of another building.
He did this several times, travelling from building to building, before finally disappearing into the distance.
Having witnessed this, Fang Dongcheng muttered, “Xuemei Palace is indeed the number one assassin organization in Huaxia. This assassin is too terrifying. 1 reckon Ye Chen should be dead meat for sure. If he manages to survive, then he is definitely some sort of demon or ghost from the Netherworld!”
Ye Chen soon left the villa next door. Rakshasa’s recovery was progressing well. While Ye Chen was there, Rakshasa had been playing Go with Wu Xiangming. Surprisingly Rakshasa was very skilled at Go, more so than he was at martial arts in fact. Within just ten minutes, he defeated Wu Xiangming soundly.
After watching the game out of amusement, Ye Chen returned to his villa and found that Xia Ruoxue and Sun Yi had changed their clothes and gotten dressed to go out.
They both looked gorgeous.
Ye Chen smiled.
“What are the two of you doing? Are you going out somewhere?”
Sun Yi nodded.
“Little Chen, a new shop has opened in Jiangnan Plaza. I heard that business there is good, so we don’t plan to cook at home today. How about going out with us to eat? Actually, you don’t have the right to refuse. We’ve already decided.”
Ye Chen shrugged.
“I’ll go change my clothes. Otherwise, I won’t match up well with you two beauties.”
Xia Ruoxue covered her mouth and laughed.
“You’re now a famous figure in Jiangnan Province’s martial arts circle. Why would you be afraid of what people think?”
“Just gotta keep a low profile I guess,” he replied.
Soon, he had changed into a casual outfit that had been specially tailored for him overseas.
There were no labels or patterns, but when he wore it, it showed off his striking figure vividly.
When he stood next to Xia Ruoxue and Sun Yi, it made the trio look like celebrities.
“Little Chen, you seem to be more suited for the entertainment circle than the martial arts circle,” Sun Yi said in admiration.
6pm, Jiangnan Plaza, 4th floor dining area.
The moment the three of them appeared, they turned heads wherever they went.
The men all looked at Ye Chen with envy and jealousy!
How was this guy so lucky as to score two beautiful women?
If they had either one as their girlfriend, it would be enough for them to brag for a lifetime!
Xia Ruoxue went over to the reception area and whispered to the staff, “I reserved a private room today. My surname is Xia…”
The waiter checked the booking reservations and quickly said, “Miss Xia, your private room is A7. Go straight and turn right.”
“Thank you.”
Xia Ruoxue then walked back over to Ye Chen and Sun Yi.
“Let’s go. It’s A7.”
Just as the three of them were about to enter the shop, a man in a suit walked out. The waiter who had spoken to Xia Ruoxue just now quickly bowed and said, “Boss.”
The man nodded, and his gaze fell on Xia Ruoxue and Sun Yi, stunned. He quickly stepped forward.
“Beautiful ladies, I’m the owner of this restaurant, Yu Haisheng. Room A7 is just a small room, so you might feel uncomfortable there. Why don’t I upgrade your reservation to a large room for free?”
“There’s no need for that.”
Xia Ruoxue rejected him.
“I booked a small private room. Also, 1 don’t need a free meal.”
Her attitude was extremely cold. With that, he led Ye Chen and Sun Yi into the room, completely disregarding Yu Haisheng.
Yu Haisheng’s expression was a little awkward, and his gaze briefly fell on Ye Chen.
The free room upgrade had never failed him before, so this was a first.
Did girls nowadays no longer like good deals?
Also, why were those two beauties accompanying this kid?
When the three of them disappeared into the room, he cursed inwardly, “Damn it! He’s probably their gigolo!”
Inside, the trio did not eat too much. After reading the reviews of the place, they had hoped to find good food here, but were sadly disappointed.
The food here was far inferior to what Sun Yi made at home.
Thus, they just had a simple meal and left after paying the bill.
Unexpectedly, Yu Haisheng walked over with a smile and handed his name card to Sun Yi and Xia Ruoxue.
“Ladies, is the food here to your liking? This is my business card. You can find my personal number on it. If there’s a chance, I can bring you to my other branches. 1 have more than ten stores in Jiangnan Province, and they are all part of my family’s business.”
Yu Haisheng was deliberately showing off.
Honestly, he had opened this restaurant almost for fun because of all the beautiful women he could meet. Almost every day, a new one would come waltzing through the doors of his restaurants, and he would offer them the free room upgrade, a free meal and his contact details.
Obviously, many of those resulted in happy hook-ups for him, so he was more than satisfied with losing a little money on this.
As for Sun Yi and Xia Ruoxue, they were the most beautiful women he had ever seen in his life. Thus, there was no way he was going to give up so easily..
