Chapter 7 - 7 7 Top Assassin on the Dark Web Fool

Chapter 7: Chapter 7: Top Assassin on the Dark Web, Fool! Chapter 7: Chapter 7: Top Assassin on the Dark Web, Fool! Qingwu: “…”

“Who placed the order?”

“I don’t know, an encrypted account.”

Qingwu reached out to rub her temples, “Reject it, find out the IP and identity of the other party.”

“Yes, but I see the other party has also posted several identical tasks. Besides specifically targeting you, there are several loose tasks that have already been picked up!”

Tasks posted on the Dark Web, apart from the ones assigned a specific amount for her and several top assassins, were open for anyone interested to take.

The other party arranged for over a dozen assassins to kill Elder Shen!

Qingwu asked for the information of those who took the orders and hung up the phone.

…

“Is it here? I received information from an informant that Shen Lisu is hospitalized here, in Building Three’s third floor, room three.”

“That’s right, the snipers are in position; the others follow me into the hospital.”

Across from Qiao Xi Hospital, three snipers aimed at Shen Lisu, who was pacing inside the ward, from different directions!

Six assassins, disguised, entered the hospital directly from the main entrance and dispersed toward different buildings.

Qingwu stood on the rooftop, with her silenced sniper rifle aimed at the three snipers in the window.

She was calculating the trajectory.

The snipers were three hundred meters away from her, within her shooting range!

The trigger was pulled, three bullets fired simultaneously, hitting the three snipers directly in the center of their foreheads with perfect accuracy, as calculated!

The snipers fell before they could even send a distress signal.

The Qingwu on the rooftop, as if knowing the outcome in advance, packed up after firing, put on her hat, and went downstairs.

On the third floor, a group appeared in the corridor in full force!

The person leading was particularly eye-catching, wearing a black shirt with sleeves slightly rolled up, revealing strong and powerful forearms, sharp eyebrows, eyes like stars, a face chiseled as if crafted by God, a masterpiece supremely refined by Nüwa.

Yet, there was a faint smile on his face, appearing elegant and amiable but with a cold aloofness that kept people away.

Carrying a whole aura of coldness with a height approaching one meter ninety, only one person possessed this demeanor!

The head of the top-notch Pei Family in Beijing, Pei Jue!

The Pei Family’s business spanned globally, with Pei Jue’s name consistently topping the Forbes list; this was just the overt part of their enterprise, the true power of the Pei Family was beyond anyone’s reckoning.

Spanning both political and business realms in Hua Country, the Pei Family had stakes in real estate, healthcare, finance, and education sectors.

Every household in Hua Country had to have items associated with the Pei Family’s businesses!

With Pei Jue’s appearance, the entire floor hushed into silence.

He scanned with his eyes, a slight smile tugging at his lips, “Excuse me, was there a change in the medical staff?”

The head nurse didn’t expect the Pei Family leader’s senses to be so sharp, hurriedly explained, “Yes, there was an issue with Chief Shen’s medications.”

A flicker of cold light flashed through Pei Jue’s eyes before he retracted his gaze.

“Zzz—”

A faint sound, the noise of a bullet cutting through air, suddenly rang in Pei Jue’s ears!

He wouldn’t mistake this sound; he had undergone rigorous training since childhood and knew the sound of every type of bullet by heart.

This was a sound he had heard before!

“Protect the elder.”

He gave the command and turned to walk down the corridor behind him.

Qingwu had her hand clasped around an assassin’s neck, a small knife flicking to sever their artery.

Her eyes were calm, her actions swift, precise, and fierce, every move ensuring one assassin after another fell.

“This technique, are you the Fool?! Didn’t they say the Fool is not taking orders? How come you’re here!”

“Let’s go, the Fool is here, there’s a trap!”

Qingwu ignored them, a bullet shot out from the gun muzzle, striking the assassin right in the forehead!

Some assassins, frenzied with blood rage upon seeing her, knowing there was no escape, pulled out guns ready for a desperate showdown.

“Your opponent is me.”

A faint male voice echoed from deep within the stairway!

A man in a black shirt descended the stairs, black leather shoes striking the ground, every step was like a ghostly specter crawling up from hell.

He wore an elegant and composed smile, attacking with a speed invisible to the naked eye, making the assassins unable to react before losing their breath!

Qingwu’s gaze fell on him.

Unseen before.

But those skills and the fierce aura, if not mistaken, were unique in the world to one person.

The Singer, leader of Deep Sea, ranked first in the Dark Web assassin leaderboard!

Qingwu frowned slightly at the scrutinizing gaze from Pei Jue.

Pei Jue knocked out an assassin beside him with a single move, a crackling sound in his wrist, and said with a smile, “I heard your bounty has gone up again?”

Qingwu: “…”

Is that polite?

Her bounty was worth two minor targets on the assassin’s list.

Those wanting her dead could form a queue from the Lin Family Mansion to the Pacific Ocean.

It was apparent Pei Jue had guessed her identity too.

Qingwu deftly stabbed a knife into an assassin’s neck, coolly stating, “Don’t underestimate yourself. Your head is quite valuable as well.”

Pei Jue: “…”

He hadn’t expected the famed Fool in the Dark Web assassin list to be so eloquent.

Qingwu clapped her hands after taking down the surrounding assassins, lifted her eyelids to look at Pei Jue.

“Are you also here to kill Shen Lisu?”

Pei Jue shrugged, taking out a handkerchief from his pocket to meticulously wipe the blood off his hands.

“So what if I am? So what if I’m not?”

He had also seen the message on the Dark Web, the Fool was specifically named to take the order.

He hadn’t thought the Fool would turn out to be a girl, and a girl who didn’t appear that old at that.

But Pei Jue knew, age, gender, and appearance, were the least important things!

Contrarily, they were the best disguises.

Qingwu’s gaze went slightly cold.

If the Singer was also here to kill Chief Shen, she was not confident about getting away unscathed.

“Withdraw from this order.”

Pei Jue wasn’t surprised. He leaned against the stairs, hand-tailored shirt pinned with exquisite cufflinks, his every move was filled with untold calmness and composure.

Even Qingwu, just by looking at the man, couldn’t guess he was the Singer, notorious for killing ruthlessly and being merciless.

“I can, but you must join Deep Sea.”

Qingwu: “…”

Are you out of your mind?

Wasn’t it known in the Dark Web that her High Tower and the Singer’s Deep Sea were rival forces, often engaging in order snatching?

Now he wanted her to join Deep Sea?

“…I’ll think about it.”

“Awaiting good news.”

Qingwu, with a complicated expression, took one last glance at the very composed Pei Jue, then withdrew her gaze and left the corridor.

Behind her, Pei Jue lit a cigarette, the smoke concealing his gloomy and chilling expression like a Soul Summoner returning from hell.

…

Elder Shen received a few phone calls, and his previously softened demeanor from seeing his granddaughter immediately sank.

He picked up a cane and entered the adjacent room.

Inside, an elder clad in a hospital gown playing chess by himself looked up, “Why are you here? Didn’t you say today my granddaughter-in-law would come to see you? Where is she?”

Elder Shen almost hit him with the cane.

“I sent her back.”

Elder Pei slapped his thigh, “You just let her go like that! I haven’t even seen her!”

Elder Shen snorted coldly, sitting on the sofa, the seasoned old warrior dropping his amiability in front of his granddaughter, exuding an imposing presence like a mountain.

“Here in this hospital, quite a few want my life.”

Elder Pei snorted through his nose, “What does that have to do with me? If you die, just die, don’t expect me to attend your funeral and pay my respects, no money! Where’s my granddaughter-in-law?”

He looked at his grandson who had just walked in the door.

“You still have the face to come? I’m telling you, unless you get married to my granddaughter-in-law this year, I’ll beat you to death!”

Pei Jue reached up to rub his temples, smiling, “Grandpa, you can’t beat me.”

The chess piece in Elder Pei’s hand was flung directly at him, and Pei Jue caught it with one hand.

Elder Shen acted as if he didn’t see it, smiling, “I heard some commotion earlier, were they here to kill me?”

Pei Jue nodded, “Yes, all anonymous Dark Web assassins. I suspect the Fool, an S-class assassin who wants to target you. If you need, Grandpa Shen, I can help investigate.”

Elder Shen waved his hand, taking a step in chess.

“No need, this old man knows.”

“Play chess, let’s not talk about unhappy things.”

Pei Jue didn’t speak anymore, maintaining a demeanor of a gentleman, calm and composed.

The chess piece in Elder Pei’s hand was flung over, “Get out, seeing you is annoying! Go invite my granddaughter-in-law to dinner and a movie, or I’ll die for you to see!”
