Chapter 1414: Chapter 145 Western Swordsman_5
"I’m here to kill someone, and I don’t want to say it a third time. Let the person in charge here come out." Ah Dai stood still, an icy killing intent swirling around him.
The shop attendant looked at Ah Dai’s expression, a feeling of unease rising in his heart, and said, "Sir, as I’ve told you, this is a pawnshop."
Ah Dai waved his hand casually, and a white surge of fighting spirit scattered forth. With a thunderous explosion, the wooden counter of the pawnshop was blasted with a large hole, and the speaking attendant was sent flying with blood spurting out, dead. Ah Dai, as if he had done nothing at all, still stood in his place and said, "That was the price for making me say it a third time, I’m here to kill."
Another shop attendant in disguise as an assassin, seeing the situation was dire, suddenly showed his assassin’s nature. Knowing he could not handle the man in front of him, he didn’t even check his companion’s life or death but said to Ah Dai with composure, "Then please wait here for a moment." After saying this, he turned and walked towards the back. Soon, the sound of hurried footsteps rose. Led by the previous assassin, a total of eleven people came out. The one at the front, dressed like a rich merchant, glanced at the damaged counter and his dead subordinate, then said to Ah Dai, "Sir, even if you are here to place an assignment, you should follow the rules. Having killed one of our people, I’m afraid..."
Ah Dai responded indifferently, "You are all assassins. Since you can kill, why can’t you be killed?"
The rich merchant burst into laughter, "Well said, good indeed. Yes, being assassins, we never expected a good end, and we’re always aware we could be killed at any moment. Since you’ve said so, I won’t bother with extra words. Tell me, who do you want to kill? Due to your actions just now, our fee will be a bit higher." He was a Stealth Killer, the highest level assassin here.
Ah Dai smiled, a cruel smile, a smile of the Grim Reaper. "There’s no need to talk about a fee, because you won’t be needed anymore. The ones I’m here to kill are all of you." A pale blue light burst forth suddenly, numerous strands of fighting spirit scattered, striking like lightning towards the eleven assassins in front of him...
Mie Feng was waiting not far from the pawnshop for Ah Dai. She wasn’t worried at all; not to mention Ah Dai, even she could easily eliminate the assassins inside. At this moment, Ah Dai had already walked out of the pawnshop, his face showing a trace of excitement, and that bloodthirsty gleam appeared again deep within his eyes. That predatory look made even Mie Feng feel a chill in her heart.
Ah Dai walked over to Mie Feng and said, "If you’re not tired, we can go to the next city. There were a total of twelve assassins in the pawnshop, and their sinful souls have been sent to where they belong."
Mie Feng replied, "Then let’s head to Dark City. It’s a branch of the Assassin’s Guild. I reckon there you might find a more satisfying outcome." Both of their figures gradually vanished at the end of the street, while the small pawnshop had turned into absolute silence.
An hour later, a down-and-out gambler holding some of his family’s valuable jewelry arrived outside the pawnshop, planning to exchange these for some gambling money to continue his addiction. As he lifted the door curtain and walked in, he said, "I’m pawning the family heirlooms! This time you must give me a fair..." His voice stopped abruptly, the scene before him something he would never forget in his lifetime. Inside the pawnshop hall, a dozen bodies lay scattered in disarray, each with a tiny hole in the center of their foreheads, and all with their eyes wide open. On the originally white walls were two crooked rows of writing, "Branch of the Assassin’s Guild, eleven sinful souls." With a signature, "Debt Collected by the Grim Reaper". The jewelry from the gambler’s hands fell to the floor, his face turned pale as he staggered backward, suddenly letting out a wild cry, he fled the door, forsaking his "family heirlooms."
The next day, news that the Grim Reaper had revisited the Empire of Sunset City spread throughout the streets and alleys of Soul City, and with astonishing speed, disseminated throughout the entire Empire of Sunset.
As Ah Dai was obliterating the first stronghold of the Assassin’s Guild, Kino and Yue Ji had already entered the territory of the Red Charming Clan. Owing to Kino’s slow pace, it took them half a month to get there. The two of them slowly advanced on the main road, with Kino appearing somewhat despondent, uncharacteristically not keeping his gaze on Yue Ji, instead walking with his head down, seemingly lost in thought.
