Episode 8 Chapter 14 Continuous Assassinations

  "Very dangerous?" Lin Lei laughed, "How dangerous?"

  Zhan Ni saw Lin Lei like this, and couldn't help but nod hastily: "It's extremely dangerous, Da Niang is now in charge of the city of Chi Er County, that's equivalent to the power of a county lord."

  Zhan Ni said with some embarrassment: "Lei Ge, I'm really sorry. I didn't tell you about this before. You don't have to take risks for us. It's not worth it."

  "Haha......"

  Lin Lei smiled and said, "Not worth it? Actually, I don't have anything else to do, so naturally I'll take care of you along the way. As for danger, whether or not it's dangerous, I understand much more than you do. Alright, Jennie, go back to sleep early."

  "Lei Ge." Zhan Ni stared at Lin Lei in a daze.

  "Go back." Lin Lei said with a faint smile.

  Zhan Ni looked at Lin Lei with gratitude: "Thank you, Brother Lei." However, Zhan Ni solemnly looked at Lin Lei, "But Brother Lei, I really don't want you to take risks for us."

  "Go back and sleep." Lin Lei's face turned stern as he deliberately shouted.

  Lin Lei used to be very affectionate towards Zhan Ni, but now he's so stern that it really scared Zhan Ni.

  "Oh." Jenny nodded obediently like a child, then turned her head and walked out the door. Actually, at this moment, Jenny was still a little happy in her heart, after all, she was also an eighteen-year-old girl, seeing a good young man who treated her well, it was normal to have a good impression of him, and she didn't want to part with Lin Lei like this either.

  Zhan Ni walked to the doorway and suddenly turned around.

  Zhan Ni couldn't help but smile and said, "Lei Ge, you're so serious all the time, it's actually very cool." After that, Zhan Ni quickly ran out of Lin Lei's room like a mischievous little girl.

  Lin Lei saw this scene and was so angry that he couldn't help but laugh.

  Taking a deep breath, Lin Lei calmed his emotions and returned to bed, quietly sitting cross-legged to begin his spiritual cultivation. No matter where or when, Lin Lei never dared to give up on his cultivation.

  Lin Lei could not forget his parents' grudge.

  Can't forget Grandpa Derrin's death!

  Can't forget, the goal in one's heart - to uproot the Radiant Church!

  "One day..." Lin Lei's heart was firmer than ever, at this moment he didn't ask for a high position of power, but only hoped to be able to quietly cultivate in peace.

  In another separate courtyard of the hotel, the candles in the room were still burning, and the red-haired man was sitting indifferently in the room, while the other six people were standing.

  "This operation is a success, everyone will be better off. But if it fails... you know what kind of methods Mrs. Weide has." The red-haired man said calmly.

  Those six people all had some fear in their hearts.

  Lady Wade was ruthless and cruel, and almost everyone in Chell County knew it when Earl Wade was alive. Although Earl Wade was nominally the lord of the city, the actual lord was Lady Wade.

  He is Mrs. Vidal's son and he too is tongue-tied before her.

  Unfortunately, her son died.

  According to convention, it should be Viscount Weddell's son who inherits the position of castle owner. How can Lady Weddell allow her country sister and brother to seize power?

  "Don't worry, captain. This time we absolutely won't slip up. That strong person is indeed powerful, but he can't always protect those two siblings." One of the six people said with a loud and clear voice.

  Others nodded too.

  "Alright, I've already bribed the owner of this hotel. The third floor of the hotel's building has two rooms that directly face the courtyard where those two are staying. At that time, four of you will go to those two rooms separately. The other two people will follow me... Remember, as soon as there is an opportunity, take action, but our first target is that young man."

  After all, Kiernan has the first right of inheritance now.

  Zhan Ni, however, was a woman and she had to take on the role of city lord, which was extremely difficult.

  "Wait until the young man appears, then make a move. Kill the young man, and if there's an opportunity, kill the woman as well." The red-haired man said coldly, "Alright, you all go hide now. Maybe that young man will come out at night to use the toilet or something. Then our task will be even easier."

  "Yes, captain."

  Under the arrangement of the red-haired man, four out of the six people quietly left the courtyard and went straight to the main building of the hotel, entering two rooms that had been arranged on the third floor.

  Today, the sky still has a crescent moon hanging, and there is also a faint, hazy moonlight shining between heaven and earth.

  This time, the red-haired man brought archers who were all elites from the city of Chel. At this level, shooting a powerless young boy in the courtyard 50-60 meters away was a sure thing.

  "Captain, what are we doing?" The other two men standing beside the red-haired man asked.

  The red-haired man said calmly, "Your mission is... once the four of them can't shoot that young man to death, you'll disguise yourselves as hotel waiters and deliver breakfast. When you get close to that young man, just kill him with one move."

  "Captain!" The two of them suddenly became anxious.

  Disguise as an envoy to assassinate, but it's necessary to know that the strong owner of the black leopard is right next to them. Even if they succeed, will the two of them have a chance to escape with their lives?

  "Hmm."

  The red-haired man turned his head and gazed at them coldly, "You two have no choice. This time, the eight of you followed me over here. Your relatives, Lady Weide, had already been controlled long ago. If your mission fails, not only will you be in trouble, but your entire family will also be finished. And if you succeed, even if you die, your relatives will still receive good treatment."

  The two of them turned somewhat pale.

  "You two should know Mrs. Vida's methods, and you should also know mine." The red-haired man said coldly.

  The red-haired man, although nominally their captain, was in reality a faithful dog of Lady Wyde's, and killed without mercy.

  "Of course, if the four of them succeed, you won't have to take any risks." The red-haired man said calmly, "You can pray now, pray for the blessing of the God of War."

  The two of them were silent.

  They were supposed to be the elite warriors of the county city army, but how could these small fries fight against Lady Wied? And there was still a red-haired man staring at them.

  At this moment, four archers waiting in the two rooms on the third floor of the hotel's main building were taking turns resting. One person rested while another kept watch.

  They have to stay in top condition and once Keane appears they can wake up the person next to them.

  The night is slowly passing by.

  That night, Keen didn't step out of the house at all, and the sky gradually brightened up. The fresh air in the morning also made the four archers much more alert.

  "Ouch."

  The door opened.

  "It's out." The archers reminded their partners beside them.

  The four archers in the two rooms almost simultaneously held their breath, each secretly peeking through the edges of the windows at Zanni and Keen in the courtyard.

  "It's that woman, don't rush, wait a moment." The archers all quietly waited.

  Pushing open the door, Zhan Ni's face was full of smiles. Since learning that Lin Lei wasn't leaving and would continue to protect them, although she knew the journey was dangerous, Zhan Ni was still very happy deep down.

  "Ah, fresh air." Jennie closed her eyes and took a deep breath.

  Then Zhan Ni walked towards his younger brother's room next door, and a clear voice rang out: "Ji En, get up, don't sleep in!" As he spoke, Zhan Ni knocked on Ji En's door.

  Hearing Zhan Ni's voice, Lin Lei, who was also cultivating, opened his eyes. As for the black-striped cloud leopard 'Hei Lu' under Lin Lei's bed, it didn't even open its eyes.

  Kien, still in his pajamas, opened the door and rubbed his sleepy eyes, grumbling: "Sister, what are you doing so early? I haven't woken up yet, it's been a long time since I had a good sleep."

  At this moment, the archers in two rooms on the third floor of the main building of the hotel in the distance all lit up their eyes.

  "Target acquired."

  Four bowmen almost simultaneously took out their bows and arrows, ready to shoot.

  "Miss, young master, you're up quite early." The old servant, Lanbert, also pushed open the door.

  "Good morning, Grandfather Lambert." Jennie greeted warmly.

  "Grandpa Lambert, it wasn't me who got up early, it was my sister who called me to get up."

  And then - "Let go."

  In one of the rooms on the third floor of the hotel, an archer whispered, and instantly two archers stood up straight, exposing their bows and arrows at the window.

  "Hiss!" "Hiss!"

  Two swift arrows shot out from the window almost simultaneously, while two other archers in another room also fired at the same time.

  "Hiss!" "Hiss!"

  Four arrows, two in front and two behind, crossed the space in the blink of an eye and arrived directly in front of Keen and Jennie. Two of the four arrows were shot at Keen, and the other two were shot at Jennie.

  At this moment... Lin Lei was still in his room and hadn't come out, while Old Butler Lambert was still about ten meters away from the two siblings. At Lambert's speed, it was fundamentally impossible for him to intercept them.

  "Miss!" Lambert barely had time to exclaim.

  Jenny and Keane both seemed to sense the danger, turning around. But all they saw was the arrow getting closer and closer in their pupils.

  The metal arrowhead pierced through the air, emitting a sharp whistling sound.

  "Pffft!" "Pffft!" "Pffft!" "Pffft!"

  Four consecutive shots were fired.

  Zanni and Keen stood still, stunned, beside them Lambert was also completely frightened stiff, at this moment only a "creak" sound was heard, Lin Lei's room opened.

  Lin Lei walked out of the room.

  "Baby, it's up to you now."

  At this moment, Beibei is standing in front of Zhan Ni and Qi Nuo siblings, just a moment ago, Beibei easily deflected the four arrows that were shot at her.

  After being stabbed yesterday, Lin Lei had a premonition that the group of people would not give up so easily. So he let Beibei sleep outside at night and be on guard.

  Even with Bebe's volume, curled up in the courtyard weeds, let alone those archers, even Zanni and Keen didn't find her.

  "Hey boss, watch this." Beibei excitedly licked her lips.

  "Hmm."

  A black shadow flashed across the sky at high speed, and the height of nearly ten meters was not difficult at all. Beibei directly jumped into the window. Seeing the four bowmen fail to attack, and then seeing the small shadow mouse, they trembled with fear and immediately wanted to escape.

  Before they even left the door, Beibei had already entered one of the rooms.

  Two dark shadows flashed by, and two archers fell directly into the pool of blood. Beibei slammed heavily into the wall, smashing a big hole and rushing into another room.

  The other two archers were busy opening the door and escaping.

  As they turned around, they saw a black shadow flying towards them. The two of them didn't even have time to shout before "Puchi! Puchi!" Two sharp claws tore through the air, accompanied by the sound of bursting blood vessels.

  Bai Bai didn't care and glanced at the two corpses on the ground, then turned her head and climbed out of the window, returning to the courtyard. This back-and-forth trip took less than half a minute.

  "Baobei, not bad." Lin Lei praised with a smile.

  Bebi proudly raised her head, and at this moment, the black-striped clouded leopard 'Heilu' next to her growled in dissatisfaction: "Hmph, I'll go, my speed is even faster than yours."

  Babe immediately let out a low growl at 'Hei Lu'.

  Lin Lei didn't bother to comfort Beibei and Heilu, but instead walked towards Zhan Ni and Ji En. The two were still in a daze. Having experienced two life-or-death crises in just two days, the sister and brother had never faced such danger before, despite being bullied by others in the past.

  "It's okay, it's okay."

  Lin Lei gently patted Jian Ni and Keen on the shoulder, and Keen immediately let out a "wow" and burst into tears, directly hugging Lin Lei. Next to him, Zhan Ni also sobbed, burying his face in Lin Lei's chest and crying.

  Lin Lei could only comfort the two siblings.

  After the brother and sister calmed down, Lin Lei asked Lanbert beside him, "Lanbert, did you order breakfast today?"

  "It's been arranged, I reckon it'll be delivered by the hotel in a bit." Lambert looked at Lin Lei with gratitude.
