King of Assassins - Chapter 29

Chapter 29: Settle the Score

“Thump, thump, thump…”

The thick anti-theft door shook as people forcefully hit it. The sensor in the anti-theft door had already issued a shrill alarm.

Wei Zhenzhen had her arms crossed, and she was staring angrily at the door. She had thought it through. She was going to give Gao Xuan a severe beating the moment she saw him.

Of course, she wasn’t going to do it herself.

Gao Xuan had protected her and Xu Yin in the ancient relic. Xu Yin had later told her that Gao Xuan’s mind power was extremely strong.

Furthermore, there was Yun Qingshang. Yun Qingshang had overpowered Wang Hongen, which meant she also had powerful abilities.

Thus, Wei Zhenzhen had brought a bunch of helpers along with her. They were all her friends that she regularly hung out with.

There were several powerful people amongst them. They should have no problems fighting Gao Xuan and Yun Qingshang.

Wei Zhenzhen didn’t know just how powerful Wang Hongen had been, nor did she know just how powerful the technique Gao Xuan had used to defend them against the roar of the dragon was.

Even Xu Yin, much less her, didn’t have a way to appropriately measure it, and couldn’t come up with a guess.

Wei Zhenzhen didn’t mind that. Her group of friends was rich and influential. They fail to deal with Gao Xuan and Yun Qingshang? What a joke!

“Hit it hard, hit it hard!” Wei Zhenzhen encouraged.

Zhao Yunlong patted his chest and said, “Don’t worry, Zhenzhen. I’ll help you air your grievances today. That lad dared to play tricks on our Zhenzhen. He obviously doesn’t know any better.”

Zhao Yunlong was handsome. He had tanned copper skin that made him look youthful and lively. He also had a pair of diamond earrings in his ears and was stylishly dressed.

Out of this group of attractive men and women, Zhao Yunlong’s appearance and demeanor were considered the most attractive.

Wei Zhenzhen gave Zhao Yunlong an approving smile. She usually ignored him. Even though Zhao Yunlong was attractive, he was sleazy. She especially didn’t like that.

The Zhao family had a second-rate company in Mingjing City that was much less successful than the Yuanlong Company. Zhao Yunlong had put in a great deal of effort to get into her good books, so he probably had an ulterior motive.

Even though Wei Zhenzhen was arrogant and wilful, and even a little naive, she wasn’t a fool. She knew what was going through his head when he smiled at her.

Zhao Yunlong was one of the better fighters within her circle of friends and was quite a fierce lackey. She might as well use him. Then, Zhao Yunlong would have to be grateful for her using him and thank her.

However, Wei Zhenzhen would never fancy a person like Zhao Yunlong.

He wasn’t as rich as her, nor as smart as her, nor as attractive as her, and he was sleazy. She felt a little disgusted after spending just a few minutes with him.

Wei Zhenzhen quickly pulled on Jiang Xuejun, who was to the side, and said, “Sister Jun, you have to help me later.”

Jiang Xuejun said, amused, “I’m already here. I’ll definitely help. Don’t worry. I won’t hold back against a scumbag!”

Jiang Xuejun had defined facial features, but she also possessed the gentle beauty that girls had. Her hair was done up in many small braids, and she was 1.8 meters tall.

The color of her skin was also rather deep, but it was more of a maize color. Her limbs were long with taut muscles. She was wearing a black leather jacket over her green short sleeve shirt, as well as pants and military boots.

This bunch of young men and women were all exceptional. However, Jiang Xuejun’s wild, untamed aura put her far above the others.

Next to Jiang Xuejun, must less the rest of the group, Zhao Yunlong looked sleazy and weak.

Wei Zhenzhen’s looks were barely a match for suave Jiang Xuejun’s.

Wei Zhenzhen also thought highly of Jiang Xuejun. Her background was just as good as hers. However, in terms of ability, Jiang Xuejun was much stronger than her.

Jiang Xuejun, who was only one year older than Wei Zhenzhen, was the unanimous leader of her small circle of friends.

Jiang Xuejun usually didn’t take part in their affairs. It was only because Wei Zhenzhen had complained to her that she’d been toyed with by a scumbag that she’d come here to help.

She was also curious. She wanted to see the scumbag who was capable of fooling a mischievous girl like Wei Zhenzhen. Furthermore, Wei Zhenzhen was clearly unwilling to end their relationship. Wei Zhenzhen had come here in a menacing fashion, yet it didn’t seem like she wanted to do anything too drastic.

In this circle of friends, Jiang Xuejun felt that Wei Zhenzhen was decent and could be a worthwhile friend. She didn’t want her little sister to be lied to and taken advantage of.

With Jiang Xuejun around, the rest of the group felt even more confident and hit the door even more forcefully.

The door to the apartment silently opened, and Zhao Yunlong, who was in the middle of hitting the door, missed, and his punch flew right at Yun Qingshang.

Zhao Yunlong could have pulled his arm back. However, he wanted to teach the other party a lesson. After all, they had come here to cause trouble.

With his family’s status, he wouldn’t face any trouble if he killed someone, let alone injure or cripple them.

However, Zhao Yunlong saw that the person who’d opened the door was a beautiful young girl with a cold and noble air. His instincts told him that she was untouchable.

Zhao Yunlong thought that the other party was beautiful. He wanted to cherish such a pretty lady. He didn’t want to injure her.

He held back a little and aimed his hand at her chest.

He didn’t want to injure her, but he didn’t want to take advantage of the opportunity to cop a feel. After all, they had come to seek vengeance today. It was all right for him to be the villain.

Yun Qingshang, who had opened the door, immediately sensed Zhen Yunlong’s intentions and thought that he was dumb and silly.

His punch was loose and feeble, and his form was full of flaws. She could easily kill him twenty times over.

However, Gao Xuan had reminded her time and time again that she couldn’t kill anyone now that she had a legal identity.

It’d been difficult to obtain this legal identity. They had to cherish it. These fools’ lives were worthless. It wasn’t worth exchanging their legal identities for them.

Yun Qingshang detested the way they were hitting the door, but she was even more disgusted by the man’s vile face.

She raised her right leg and, summoning her strength, kicked Zhao Yunlong on the chin with her heel.

Yun Qingshang only put twenty percent of her strength behind the kick. However, a lot of nerves were clustered in the chin, with the vagus nerve being directly connected to the midbrain. The intense vibrations from the impact would affect the vagus nerve and upset the balancing organ controlled by the midbrain. It would immediately render the victim unconscious.

The tall and imposing Zheng Yunlong instantly fainted, his eyes rolling back into his head.

The rest of the people either couldn’t react in time or didn’t want to catch him, because Zheng Yunlong crashed heavily on the marble floor.

The rest of the group felt their bodies hurt just watching it. Wei Zhenzhen covered her mouth with her little hands, afraid that she would laugh out loud.

She had to admit that Yun Qingshang’s kick was amazing, but Zheng Yunlong falling was even more amazing.

But Zheng Yunlong still had friends. Someone immediately rushed over to help him up and cursed, “Are you asking for death? To think that you dared to touch my Brother Long…”

The person who was cursing raised his head to look at Yun Qingshang and became too embarrassed to continue.

Beautiful women were always given deferential treatment, even more so if she had a demeanor as unusual as Yun Qingshang’s. Comparatively, his friend felt less important.

A bunch of men looked at Yun Qingshang in a daze. Even Jiang Xuejun was shocked. Yun Qingshang’s demeanor was too exceptional.

Wei Zhenzhen was beautiful, yet she was completely overshadowed by the other party’s cold and noble demeanor. Furthermore, her kick was perfect. She had great technique.

Jiang Xuejun wanted to sigh. Why was a perfect lady like this living with a scumbag?

She said to Yun Qingshang with an amicable expression on her face, “You must be Sister Yun Qingshang. We’ve come to look for Gao Xuan. It has nothing to do with you. You don’t have to be afraid.”

This group of people had strange expressions on their faces. They looked at the unconscious Zhao Yunlong and felt an added sense of sympathy for him.

Yun Qingshang leaned to the side and made way. “He’s in the swimming pool on the top floor.”

Yun Qingshang was easygoing, much to the surprise of Jiang Xuejun and the rest of the group.

Wei Zhenzhen was a little unhappy. “You don’t deserve how well Gao Xuan treats you!”

Jiang Xuejun pulled Wei Zhenzhen to the side and smiled at Yun Qingshang. “Thank you.”

The group left behind two people to care for Zheng Yunlong, while the rest followed Jiang Xuejun and Wei Zhenzhen up to the balcony on the top floor.

Yun Qingshang closed the door and returned to her room. She didn’t have any interest in Gao Xuan’s vile business.

This group of people was weak. Even if they were fully armed, they wouldn’t pose any threat to Gao Xuan. She didn’t need to observe the battle from the side.

Wei Zhenzhen felt even more furious when she saw Yun Qingshang return to her room. “That woman sure is cold and merciless.”

Jiang Xuejun said, amused, “Why are you sticking up for a scumbag?”

“I… My problem with Gao Xuan is mine alone, yet she refuses to help him even though she sees that he’s in trouble. She’s a bad person,” Wei Zhenzhen tried explaining herself.

“Listen to your tone. You’re feeling pity for a scumbag. Don’t beg us to hold back when we start beating him up later.

“We’re here to help,” Jiang Xuejun reminded her. “Zhenzhen, don’t make us be the bad guys for no reason.”

Wei Zhenzhen felt a little embarrassed that she was being chided. She cajoled, “Why would I do that? All you guys need to worry about is beating him up. Don’t hold back.”

The men of the group rolled up their sleeves. “Don’t worry, we’ll definitely air your grievances for you, Zhenzhen.”

“We’ll break his limbs and see if he can still afford to boast!”

“Didn’t you say that he’s really attractive? We’ll punch his face in!”

Wei Zhenzhen was a little nervous. What if these people really broke Gao Xuan?

Yet, she couldn’t stop them. She could only smile dryly.

Jiang Xuejun was amused. Wei Zhenzhen still had feelings for Gao Xuan. To think that she couldn’t stand the thought of Gao Xuan being beaten up.

She raised her voice and said, “Know your limits. We’ve come to voice Zhenzhen’s grievances, not commit murder and arson. Just teach that person a lesson and get him to apologize to Zhenzhen. That’ll be enough.”

“All right. We’ll follow whatever you say, Sister Jun.”

“Yeah, whatever you say, Sister Jun.”

Even though Jiang Xuejun didn’t usually hang out with this group of people, her straightforward personality and powerful abilities made her the undisputed leader of the group.

Wei Zhenzhen looked at Jiang Xuejun a little enviously. She wanted to become as influential as her. Unfortunately, she wasn’t as bold or authoritative as her.

Fortunately, Jiang Xuejun was considerate and had set the tempo beforehand so that they could avoid really injuring Gao Xuan.

The group headed up to the rooftop balcony and saw Gao Xuan.

Gao Xuan was dressed in a pair of breezy pants, and his face was underwater. His body motionlessly floated on the surface of the pool. He looked like a floating corpse.

“Gao Xuan, don’t pretend to be dead!”

“Lad, the big boys are here!”

A few of the guys shouted by the side of the pool. Their attitude was incredibly arrogant.

However, Gao Xuan, who was in the pool, remained silent. He didn’t react at all. It was as if he were really dead.

The group of people shouted with gusto, but none of them were willing to go into the water.

It would be too embarrassing for them to become wet in front of Wei Zhenzhen and Jiang Xuejun.

After all, Gao Xuan couldn’t run away in the water, and he wouldn’t be able to hide underwater for too long, even if he was very good at holding his breath.

The group waited for over ten minutes. The unconscious Zhao Yunlong had finally come to his senses and run over. Gao Xuan was still lying in the water.

Gao Xuan still hadn’t moved. Wei Zhenzhen was a little flustered. Had something happened to him? Had he committed suicide because he’d thought that he’d let her down?
