Chapter 185: Chapter 185 The Story of Three Knives
"I am, what do you an?" Wang ng looked at Lin Feng feeling very strange. How could he have guessed that I’m a special forces soldier? I didn’t say anything, and I didn’t show anything special, I just moved the knife a bit, and he knew I was special forces — how is that possible? However, since he guessed my identity, that must an he’s t real special forces before. Otherwise, an outsider would never be able to tell what kind of person a special forces soldier is!
Yet, this young man doesn’t seem that old at all, and he doesn’t seem like he was forged in a special forces unit. Could he have spent ti in so special forces unit before? It must be so, otherwise how could he know about special forces? That’s sothing outsiders can’t understand.
"Nothing much, just wanted to ask you about the story of the three knives," Lin Feng said calmly, looking at Wang ng as if he was talking about sothing that didn’t concern him.
"What’s this story about three knives? Explain yourself!" Wang ng suddenly realized that Lin Feng was exuding a sense of vicissitude. It was hard to define; it could make sense if it were an older person but for Lin Feng, who wasn’t that old, this feeling was indescribably weird!
And what did he an by ntioning three knives? Asking such a question out of the blue was baffling. At least explain clearly, how would I know what you’re talking about? This is just nonsensical, talking about three knives... I’d love to see how you explain this.
"The first knife, four years ago in June, Cain’s DEATH."
"The second knife, three years ago in January, Charles’s Gazer."
"The third knife, three years ago in July, Quinn’s Spider."
Lin Feng slowly recited these three knives, eyeing Wang ng expressionlessly. He should know about these three knives.
The people around, who were initially curious about the story of the three knives, were left completely confused after Lin Feng finished. What did these three knives an? Could you be any more precise and clear? These things you’ve said, nobody could understand them. What’s with the random months and years for each knife? What exactly is Lin Feng talking about?
Ding Wan’er was already incomprehensibly puzzled on the side. How did Lin Feng know that the Taekwondo instructor was a special forces soldier? Just by moving a knife once, and he knew he was special forces — that’s too miraculous, isn’t it? Are special forces that easy to recognize? But why couldn’t she tell that he was special forces? Could it be that Lin Feng has so special way or thod? Also, what does this ntion of three knives an? If three people correspond to three knives, why add a tiline? It’s no longer just about the knives — there must be so other implication. But what’s the aning behind it?
Right, the ti Lin Feng ntioned was before he returned to Tianhai. Could it be that Lin Feng encountered the owners of these three knives on the island he spoke of? But that’s even less likely. How could such people happen to visit an island and by chance reveal themselves to Lin Feng? That’s not reasonable!
These two questions only added to Ding Wan’er’s confusion. What exactly were Lin Feng and the Taekwondo instructor talking about? Could those three knives be related to him, and he knew the aning of the three knives? With this thought, Ding Wan’er’s eyes shifted towards Wang ng, hoping to clarify the answer from him.
What do these three knives that Lin Feng ntioned an? Leng i, hearing about the three knives from Lin Feng, couldn’t figure out their origin either. Why had she never heard of such things before, not to ntion the owners of the knives? Were these owners of the three knives that impressive?
Since Lin Feng recognized the Taekwondo instructor as special forces and continued to talk about the three knives, it implied that the owners of these knives must be connected to the special forces soldier in so way. Otherwise, Lin Feng wouldn’t speak so casually. She had been interested in all kinds of military affairs since she was young, especially cold weaponry. It seed she had never co across information about these three knives, let alone the specific tis ntioned, which were all the more baffling!
Ti? That’s right, during that period when Lin Feng disappeared and hadn’t returned to Tianhai, nobody knew what had happened to him. She had even especially searched for the newspapers from the ti of his disappearance, which reported that he went missing during a rowing race, which was odd in itself. Then, during the first French class, he ntioned sothing about learning all sorts of disordered things on an island — could it be that during that ti, he actually t the owners of these three knives on the island?
Upon hearing Lin Feng ntion it in such a way, it seed the owners of these three knives must be quite famous—otherwise, Lin Feng wouldn’t have brought it up intentionally. But what special connection did this special forces soldier have with these three knives, and how did Lin Feng discern their connection...
When Wang ng heard Lin Feng ntion the first knife, his body had already shuddered. Just who was Lin Feng and how could he know these matters that outsiders didn’t understand? Could he be a mber of this circle too? Information about Cain and his DEATH knife, ranked ninth in the world, sprang to his mind. The legendary Cain and Carl were once a myth within rcenary World, having slain many AA-ranked opponents with their remarkable combat skills. DEATH was the military knife that reaped those lives. Wang ng rembered his master once saying, "Never try to match knives with Cain, because you’ll feel his blade is always faster than yours." That was Cain! And with his growing fa, so too did DEATH.
DEATH had once been called the Death God by countless people because its wielder was the blade expert Cain, a world-renowned fast knife handler. Many AA-level experts died by his hand, yet such a formidable rcenary had suddenly vanished a few years ago, becoming an enigma forever.
June four years ago—what was that ti? Right! Wasn’t that exactly when Cain disappeared? What did Lin Feng an by saying this—did he know about Cain’s whereabouts, or where Cain was now? There would be no reason for him to say this otherwise!
As Lin Feng spoke of the second knife, Wang ng could no longer control his thoughts. Charles’s The Gazer, ranked fifth in the world—what was Lin Feng’s intention in ntioning these military knives? Unlike Cain, Charles was a myth of Assassin World, rated as AAA. However, he only ever took on AA-ranked assassination tasks, and all 17 of his past contracts were completed by himself, which ant he had the capability to face AA-level experts alone and co out the victor. This alone was testant enough to how formidable he was!
No one ever saw Charles’s The Gazer because everyone who laid eyes on it had already beco a corpse. Everyone knew of Charles and his The Gazer, but no one had ever seen it, until he vanished, and no one in Assassin World could surpass his record—a record so astonishingly beyond belief!
Adding up the dates, his disappearance aligned exactly with the ti Lin Feng ntioned. January of the year before last, before the Spring Festival had passed. What was Lin Feng implying about Charles at this ti? Could it really be that he had seen both Charles and Cain, or was he trying to bluff him?
The third knife—Quinn’s Spider Knife!
When Wang ng heard Lin Feng ntion Quinn’s Spider Knife, he nearly fainted. He couldn’t believe that this young man before him would know about Quinn’s Spider Knife. Known to be third in the world, Quinn himself was an AA-level special forces legend and a hero that everyone looked up to, including Wang ng, who was striving to emulate Quinn at every mont.
If to speak of Quinn’s combat achievents, they were even more proudly extraordinary. Among the AA-ranked masters, no one could match Quinn. Like Charles, who enjoyed challenging those beyond his rank, all of Quinn’s opponents were in the S-rank. What’s more, by the ti he vanished, he had already challenged 19 S-rank experts—god, what a concept that was! For example, if AAA-level individuals were to challenge AA-level opponents, they would need to exert 120% of their strength for a chance to win. To challenge an S-rank expert, however, would require at least 200% strength for victory. Quinn consistently exceeded his own strength standards by a significant margin!
Quinn’s most extraordinary accomplishnt was having eliminated a pair of S-ranked assassins, an achievent that cented his mythical status. For a single AA-ranked master to take down two S-ranked assassins was simply impossible for a re human—unless that human was a divine being, and Quinn did it, affirming his status as a deity.
And it was for these very reasons that Quinn beca an epic hero among special forces, with all special forces soldiers dreaming of becoming soone like him. Being among the top-tier special forces himself, Wang ng also tirelessly worked towards that dream, having completed countless missions, and just recently breaking into the top hundred in the world. Yet now, he felt like every step forward was as difficult as climbing to heaven, which was why he agreed to Shen Tian’s request to protect his daughter.
But the ti Lin Feng ntioned was also precisely when Quinn vanished. Things couldn’t be that coincidental, could they? Knowing about the world’s military knife ranking, Lin Feng had to be soone from within the circle. So what was his intention in ntioning these three military knives and the exact tis of these people’s disappearances? How could Lin Feng be so familiar with all this?
Could it be that Lin Feng had once had dealings with these individuals before their disappearance? But that was impossible; these three were known to be lone wolves, indifferent to others to the point of inaccessibility. Even if Lin Feng wanted to find them, he wouldn’t be able to, let alone communicate with them.
With these thoughts, Wang ng began to look at the young man called Lin Feng seriously. Anyone who could say such things was definitely not simple. This level of information was only accessible to those with certain connections, and considering Lin Feng’s age, it seed implausible for him to have reached that level of understanding. So where did he learn about these people on the ranking and their knives, and how could he accurately state the tis of their disappearances? This was all the more mysterious.
Lin Feng told
about these three individuals, three knives, and the precise tis of their disappearances—what was his intention in doing so? What exactly did he want to convey? Was he showing off his knowledge of inner-circle matters, or was he trying to tell
sothing more?
