Urban Martial Arts System - Chapter 148
Chapter 148: No. 1 on the Assassin List
“The Assassin List sent someone here? So what?” Zhou Ping sneered. “They’re just a bunch of mice in the gutter.”
“That’s not the case. Master, don’t underestimate the Assassin List.” Zuo Miaoyan shook her head, looking serious. “The Assassin List has been established for a long time, and it has collected countless assassins. It is the well-deserved ruler of the underground world. I know that the Zhou family is huge, but as the master said, the Assassin List is a mouse. They never face the enemy, but it has methods that are extremely versatile.
“Moreover, they are brave and hide in the dark. Even if the Zhou family takes action, it is not difficult to defeat the Assassin List, but it is not easy to wipe them out. If they let their senior executives escape, who knows what they will do.
“You must know that the strongholds of the Assassin List are located in the north and south. Unless the country takes action and the whole country launches an extermination at the same time, it will not be able to uproot it at all.” Thinking of the power of the Assassin List, Zuo Miaoyan’s face became very ugly.
“It’s not as difficult to kill the Assassin List as you think.” Zhou Ping shook his head when he heard Zuo Miaoyan’s words.
“In short, I hope the master will not intervene in this matter, and let the slave solve it by herself?” Zuo Miaoyan didn’t explain to Zhou Ping more about the underground world, but looked at Zhou Ping with pleading eyes.
Zhou Ping was silent for a while. “Fine… You can do it yourself.” Zhou Ping sighed and stood up. “Remember, you are from Zhou Ping. If there is anything you can’t solve by yourself, don’t forget that you still have a master.”
After speaking, Zhou Ping walked out of the room.
Nothing happened for a day. At night, Zhou Ping, who was lying on the bed, suddenly moved his ears. Turning over and falling to the ground, Zhou Ping made no sound.
When he came to the window gently, Zhou Ping narrowed his eyes. Outside the window, Zuo Miaoyan sneaked. Although it was sneaking, the speed was not slow. Soon, Zuo Miaoyan left.
Zhou Ping didn’t hesitate anymore. His figure suddenly disappeared. In the next second, Zhou Ping’s figure had appeared dozens of meters away.
The figure kept disappearing, but there was no sound of wind. Zhou Ping silently followed Zuo Miaoyan.
Soon, Zuo Miaoyan left the campus, recognized the direction, and ran straight towards one place.
Inside an abandoned building, it was pitch black. A few wild dogs ran outside the building, suddenly whimpered, turned and ran away with their tails in between their legs.
Zuo Miaoyan stopped in front of the abandoned building with a complicated look.
However, after a pause of less than three seconds, Zuo Miaoyan took a deep breath and broke into the dark building.
There were no lights in the building, but this obviously does not hinder Zuo Miaoyan at all. In this dark environment, Zuo Miaoyan could avoid any debris easily and accurately, recognizing every corridor entrance and every step of the ladder.
Zuo Miaoyan stopped abruptly when she was close to the top floor.
“The letter has been received. I am here.” Zuo Miaoyan said to the darkness.
With a few soft noises, a ray of light suddenly appeared in the originally dark floor.
A few portable headlights illuminate the scene very brightly, and a group of people in black also showed their figures in the light.
These people in black have stood here long ago, but the black clothes on them made them hide in the dark. And the unique mental method condensed their aura, making them even more as if they didn’t exist.
“Have you thought about it?” A man’s voice sounded, and a man who was also dressed in black with a faceless mask suddenly appeared among the group of people.
Zuo Miaoyan looked at the man and took a deep breath. “Shangguanjie, even you are here.”
“No way, I don’t want to come. You know, I am the laziest.” The man named Shangguanjie sighed. “But I had no choice. Who told you to be the second in the Assassin List, and I was the first in the Assassin List? Yesterday, there were so many people in this group of waste, so many things were used to ambush you, and you ran away. As a result. The leader was very angry and personally ordered me to come.
“I arrived here after a whole day, and I didn’t even sleep.” Shangguanjie’s tone was lazy, as if he didn’t pay attention to Zuo Miaoyan.
“What about it? Come with me? The chief is waiting for you to report back.”
“Why do I have to go back?” Zuo Miaoyan’s expression was a bit solemn.
“Why do you have to go back?” Shangguanjie was taken aback for a moment, and then laughed. “Why do you say? There are only two of us in the top five on the Assassin List. This is a major event that has happened in decades. As the only survivor of that mission, you must have an explanation, right?
“As the second-ranked character on the Assassin List, do you still want to get out of the Assassin List?” Shangguanjie’s voice suddenly became cold.
“I know that you are in the Zhou family now. Do you think the Zhou family can protect you? Have you received the news? The chief attaches great importance to this matter and may even take it personally. Tsk tsk, speaking of it. Forget about being No. 2 on the dignified Assassin List, you’re actually working as a slave for others. It’s simply a shame on our Assassin List.
“I really want to kill you, the shame of the Assassin List can only be washed away with your blood. It’s a pity that the leader has to ask you to go back, it’s a pity, it’s a pity…”
“What I am doing is my business.” Zuo Miaoyan looked at Shangguanjie. “I am willing to be a slave for my master. At first, it was because the master was strong enough, and that sweeping attitude made me surrender from the bottom of my heart. The supremacy of strength, isn’t this a consistent rule in our underground world?
“After I got there, I fell in love with my master. The master treated me very well and didn’t really treat me as a slave. He would take me to go shopping and lead me to live upright. I am alive. There is no need to think about how to kill people every day, and there is no need to worry about whether the mission will fail.
“I can show my mood as I want, and can play tricks with my master. I live very easily and happily. I am very satisfied with my current life. I am willing to stay with my master and don’t want to go back to this world.” A smile appeared on Zuo Miaoyan’s face. “So, I will never go back!”
“Humph! What do you think the Assassin List is? Do you want to go?” Zuo Miaoyan’s smile stung Shangguanjie. “The Assassin List has been established till now, and no one has ever quit. Even if they die, they are all on the Assassin List. I will ask you one last time, are you going back or not?”
“I won’t!” Zuo Miaoyan answered decisively.
“Okay, it seems that I am the one who caught you personally. If you have anything to say, let’s talk about it when you see the leader.” Shangguanjie sneered and suddenly grabbed to Zuo Miaoyan.
