Chapter 92 Night
Chapter 92 Night
The party ended quickly, and as the clock hands approached midnight, Lin Tian breathed a sigh of relief, finally getting through this grueling party.
Aren't you coming with me?
"I have something to do and need to go back later."
Lin Tian waved to Li, which puzzled her. This guy had been acting mysteriously lately, and she wondered what he was up to.
"Then I'll go first."
Seeing this, Li did not insist. After saying goodbye to Lin Tian, she got into her luxurious carriage and headed home.
There were only a few carriages accompanying her, since most of the people attending the party lived in wealthy areas, and no one else had such a status as Lily yet lived in a place with a low standard of living.
Since it was past midnight and most people in the city were asleep, the moon was shrouded in dark clouds, and some ill-intentioned people took advantage of the moonlight to begin their actions.
Ster is an assassin belonging to the West City underground organization. He worships the God of Night, works as a stealth assassin, and has a strength of approximately Silver Level 2.
"Is she the target?"
He mingled among the departing crowd, staring at Lily's retreating figure, his gaze gradually turning cold.
Assassination is a very lucrative job, and some important figures often find it inconvenient to carry out the assassination themselves, so they hire these desperate criminals to work for them.
Although assassination may bring a series of troubles afterward, since those who can be assassinated by important figures are generally of high status, these become insignificant under the drive of profit.
Ster is from the Kingdom of Night. As a foreigner in this foreign land, money is his only means of survival. He is a fugitive, so he doesn't dream of returning home in glory. Making some money to buy a big mansion and hiring a few beautiful maids is his life's pursuit.
Once the figures had gradually dispersed, Ster began his operation, but he first followed without actually making a move.
This is an affluent area; he doesn't want to make a move here if he can avoid it.
Because it was night, the carriage wasn't moving very fast, and Ster was able to catch up easily. He soon followed the carriage out of the wealthy area. Seeing this, his eyes lit up, and he took out a magic-engraved dagger from his pocket, preparing to force the carriage to stop.
He raised the dagger in his hand and aimed it at the rear wheel of the carriage!
boom!
The dagger wasn't thrown, but a muffled thud was heard in the deserted open space!
Ster did not find this surprising, because...
He's the one who got hit!
A sharp pain shot through the back of his head. The moment he was attacked, he instinctively used Shadow Flash. A burst of black smoke appeared, and he instantly reappeared several meters away.
who!
Startled by the sudden attack, Ster instinctively looked back at his original spot and saw a figure wearing a wolf-head mask and holding a long staff slowly emerge from the darkness.
Seeing this, Ster became extremely vigilant. He had clearly not seen anyone behind him, but this person appeared out of nowhere and suddenly struck him with a stick.
How could such methods not cause fear and unease?
"I knew it wouldn't be that simple."
"After all, the mission includes the word 'safety'."
"But you're way too late! My task is already marked as completed!"
Lin Tian emerged from the black smoke. Luckily, he had been careful, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to catch this rat.
Although Ster couldn't understand what Lin Tian was saying, he could tell from his appearance that Lin Tian was there to stop him.
Upon seeing this, he pondered for a moment... and then...
tread!
Run away quickly!
No way, I'm not going to waste time with him here. My priority is the mission. With my stealth mobility, he can't possibly stop me by himself.
All he had to do was kill the girl and escape. The girl had the Dark Eye mark he had placed on her, so she couldn't possibly escape.
As for you... Hmph!
Catch up with me first!
With just a few strides, Ster had already created a significant distance between himself and Lin Tian. This speed startled Lin Tian, but he remained calm and steadily followed, because…
As he sped along, Ster noticed Lin Tian's inability to keep up, and a hint of disdain flashed in his eyes.
However, when he turned his head back, he found a small white dog standing in front of him.
Ster naturally didn't take it seriously and planned to walk past the puppy and leave.
Just then, the puppy suddenly opened its mouth wide...
Roar!
A gaping maw suddenly appeared in Ster's eyes, and he reacted quickly by immediately backing away.
Tear it apart!
Ster managed to dodge the attack at the cost of losing a sleeve, but this stopped him in his tracks, allowing Lin Tian to catch up.
Damn!
Looking at the giant white wolf in front of him, and then at Lin Tian chasing after him, a hint of annoyance flashed in Ster's eyes.
Since you insist on chasing me, I'll deal with you first!
He placed his hand on his heart, then silently recited a spell, and a black wave of energy instantly spread out from him.
The level three spell, "Nightfall," reduces the presence of the area, making it less noticeable to outsiders.
Before taking action, he also sensed the location of the Dark Eye mark in his mind and found that the mark was in a state of stagnation.
what happened?
Forget it, it's better not to run. Let's deal with these two guys first!
Ster gripped the dagger tightly with both hands, staring intently at the charging man and beast.
come on!
......................
Truly intelligent people don't just make one-sided preparations. A burly man with a face full of fat watched the advancing carriage and slowly put on his boxing gloves.
He leaped off the roof and landed heavily on top of the carriage.
boom!
The top of the carriage was smashed open by a punch, revealing Lily sitting inside.
Seeing the panicked beauty, the boxer with the gloves gave a wicked smile and threw another punch.
At the critical moment, the elderly butler arrived ahead of time and exchanged blows with the boxing-gloved man!
boom!
However, the difference in strength between the two was too great, and the gauntlet was like a cannonball, instantly smashing his arm to pieces.
Seeing this, Li finally realized what was happening. She pulled a small object from her skirt pocket and immediately threw it at the man with the fist.
Bang!
It was a small bomb that Bai had given her, which could help her briefly repel the enemy in a moment of crisis.
As the bomb exploded, Lily immediately pulled the injured butler outside.
But the man in the boxing gloves quickly recovered. Looking at Lily and the butler who were fleeing, he grinned maliciously and charged forward again.
Just as he was about to catch up, at the critical moment, a long spear flew over from a distance!
shhhhhh!
boom!
