Chapter 210: Chapter 210: The King’s Return (7)
“`
“Master Jiang.”
The young man had just stepped out of the restroom when he was confronted by two people.
His complexion was still poor, tinged with a hint of pallor, “What just happened?”
“The power suddenly went out.” One of them answered, “Master Jiang, the task is done, shall we go?”
The young man glanced back, pursed his lips in thought for a moment, “Let’s go.”
With a tall and slender figure, his trench coat billowed out behind him as he walked, exuding a commanding presence.
–
Chuzheng stripped Sheng Ting naked and blocked him in the restroom.
As a boss, she didn’t believe Sheng Ting could call for help without any means of communication.
Chuzheng returned home with her bodyguards in tow.
[Hidden task: Please obtain a Good Person Card from Jiang Ye to prevent his descent into darkness.]
Who the hell is Jiang Ye?
Chuzheng didn’t recognize him at all.
Where is he?
[A hundred meters straight from you.] The King’s Account must be worried Chuzheng would leave directly.
A hundred meters straight line distance…
The distance might not seem long, but in a winding and twisting place, that hundred meters could feel much longer.
When Chuzheng found Jiang Ye, a group of people were in the midst of a fierce brawl.
From the number of people involved, the Good Person Card side was clearly at a disadvantage.
Chuzheng watched the dimly visible figures under the streetlights, it was the same young man she had encountered in the restroom…
But the King’s Account hadn’t given her a task just earlier.
Does that mean if there was no danger when she first encountered Good Person Card, the King’s Account wouldn’t assign her a task?
The group fight was almost without suspense.
Even if the young man was formidable, being outnumbered, he was soon the only one left on the battlefield.
Chuzheng stood in the darkness where the streetlight’s glow couldn’t reach.
She looked on with a cold indifference.
The bodyguards didn’t understand why their employer had come here just to stand and watch the scene unfold.
But it looked like the guy on the other side was about to lose…
Someone took advantage of the young man’s distraction to stab him with a knife.
The chaos halted; everyone surrounded the young man, as one of them stepped forward, “Master Jiang, we’ve kept to our own territories before. You crossed the line first today, don’t blame us.”
Clutching his abdomen, blood flowed from between his fingers and dripped onto the ground.
“Who has really crossed the line?” the young man replied disdainfully, showing little sign of weakness even when injured, “What I’m curious about is who told you that I would be here today.”
“Hahaha.” The other side laughed loudly, “I’m afraid you can only take your questions to hell.”
The young man didn’t answer.
He silently watched the people before him.
The dim light enveloped the young man, casting his figure on the ground, long and thin as a line.
The air around seemed to become colder.
The other party seemed to be annoyed by his gaze and suddenly aimed a kick at him.
In the blink of an eye, the shadow on the ground moved.
The young man swiftly brought his attacker to the ground, seized the knife, and stabbed mercilessly.
“Damn!”
“Finish him off!”
Despite his injuries, the young man managed to take down several men.
In the night’s darkness, the young man was like a wolf cornered in extremity.
Even in death, he would drag everyone down with him.
Under the dim streetlight, quietness eventually prevailed.
The young man swayed and knelt on one knee, propping himself up with the knife he had snatched.
He looked into the darkness, “How much longer do you plan to watch?”
