"Boom!!"
The door was smashed open, and three masked n in black burst in without uttering a word. They swung their weapons at Gao Fei, who was lying in bed. Their coordination was impeccable, one aiming for Gao Fei's head, another for his chest, and the third for his legs.
"Hmph!"
Gao Fei, who was sleeping, suddenly opened his eyes, looking at the three n emotionlessly. He didn't dodge or flinch, and not a trace of panic could be seen on his face.
The three n in black were sowhat puzzled. He had clearly noticed us, why isn't he dodging? Has he been frightened into stupidity?
"Whoosh!"
A terrifying pressure emanated from outside the door and imdiately suppressed the three n in black. "Pffft!" They spat out mouthfuls of blood, their bodies swaying unsteadily, and the weapons in their hands dropped to the floor.
An old man in a yellow robe walked in with his hands behind his back, taking steps as if written in a 'ba' character, chuckling coldly as he walked, "I've waited several days, only to have three pieces of trash show up. Truly disappointing." This old man was none other than Immortal Master Huang, the Great Demon, currently Gao Fei's most formidable bodyguard.
Gao Fei had remained motionless in bed precisely because Immortal Master Huang was on guard outside. With Immortal Master Huang present, these three n in black could not harm him at all.
"Thump, thump, thump."
All three n in black collapsed onto the ground, gasping for air with great difficulty as their bodies trembled uncontrollably.
At that mont, Gao Fei sat up, his gaze icy as he stared at the three n, "Who sent you?"
The three n kept their mouths shut.
"Actually, I already know even if you don't tell ." Gao Fei sneered coldly, "It was Dong Feitian who sent you, right?"
No matter how Gao Fei pressed them, the three n remained silent.
"Immortal Master Huang, I leave these three to you. I don't care what thods you use, you must pry their mouths open," Gao Fei said with a chilling voice.
Immortal Master Huang nodded, "No problem, I enjoy torturing people the most. No matter how tough they are, they all beco soft in my hands." As he spoke, Immortal Master Huang walked toward the three n with a smile on his lips and a bloodthirsty gleam in his eyes.
The three n glanced at each other, then bit down hard on their teeth...
"No good!" Immortal Master Huang's face changed dramatically. He rushed forward to grab the three n and forcefully pried their mouths open. Immortal Master Huang was fast, but still not fast enough to prevent the three from committing suicide. His face turned dark and terrible, "These n really are resolute, preferring death over revealing their master." The three n had poison hidden in their mouths, and biting down on it, they died instantly.
Gao Fei ca over and glanced at the three n, "They were dead soldiers, programd to commit suicide upon mission failure."
"My apologies," Immortal Master Huang said sowhat sheepishly, "I was careless..." If Immortal Master Huang had been more vigilant just now, the three n wouldn't have had the chance to commit suicide.
Gao Fei shook his head, "There's no need for you to bla yourself; even I didn't anticipate their suicide." With that, Gao Fei reached out and pulled off the black cloth covering the faces of the three n, revealing that they all looked quite young. Gao Fei searched the bodies, hoping to find sothing that would confirm their identities, but to his disappointnt, the three were clean, devoid of any identifying items.
"What now?" Immortal Master Huang asked.
After pondering for a mont, Gao Fei said, "Spread the word that I've captured three assassins and am extracting a confession about their master through severe torture."
Immortal Master Huang was stunned, "But they're clearly already dead."
"This is called casting a smoke screen," Gao Fei said with a smile. "Think about it—if the mastermind behind this knew that the assassin they sent out was caught, what would be their reaction?"
"They'd definitely co to the rescue... wait, no, they would kill to silence them." Immortal Master Huang's eyes lit up as he finally understood Gao Fei's plan. By deliberately spreading the news that three n in black were still alive, the mastermind would beco anxious upon hearing it, fearing the trio might reveal his identity. At that point, the mastermind would try to silence them by any ans possible. If Gao Fei planned well, he might be able to catch the mastermind red-handed: "Cunning! Truly too cunning! You humans are far more cunning than us of the Demon Race! I can't help but admit defeat!" Immortal Master Huang exclaid.
Gao Fei chuckled lightly, "You're using the wrong word. I'm not cunning, I'm intelligent."
"It's the sa thing."
"No, cunning and intelligent are definitely not the sa thing. Cunning is a derogatory term, while intelligence is comndatory. How could they be the sa?"
"I can't argue with you... Anyway, I'll go spread the news right now, but what about these three bodies?"
"Carry them out and bury them sowhere. Speaking of which, they were also acting under orders and had no control over their own fate. eting such an end is pitiable."
"Heh heh..." Immortal Master Huang laughed, "I didn't see it before, but you indeed have a conscience."
"It's not a conscience, it's compassion," Gao Fei corrected.
"It's the sa thing."
"How can it be the sa thing? Compassion is compassion, a conscience is a conscience. They cannot be confused."
"...Alright, I was wrong! Anyway, I'm off. You rest," Immortal Master Huang said as he rolled up the three corpses and strode away.
"Dong Feitian," Gao Fei stood in the room, staring at the pitch-black night sky outside, his eyes glittering with a sharp light: "I will make you understand that offending is the most painful mistake of your life."
...
Just as Gao Fei had said, when Dong Feitian learned that the three assassins he had sent out were captured by Gao Fei, he beca anxious on the spot.
"Useless! Three useless fools!"
"Can't even kill a re Chiliarch! What use do I have for you?"
"Why don't you three just go die!!!"
"I'm so angry! Truly, I'm livid!!!"
After venting his anger for a while, Dong Feitian gradually cald down. Angry as he was, he still had to think of a solution. He paced a few steps in the hall with clenched fists, then a murderous intent flashed in his eyes: "At this point, the only option is to eliminate them! Dead n tell no tales!" Dong Feitian was ruthless; in an instant, he made the decision to silence them for good. These three assassins were, after all, his confidants, loyal to Dong Feitian and having helped him with many things over the years—too nurous to count. And now, Dong Feitian, without a shred of past affection, decided to kill them off, truly a heartless person.
Having made up his mind, Dong Feitian began to ponder how to silence them for good.
After mulling it over for a while, a plan slowly ford in Dong Feitian's mind.
"Shadow!" Dong Feitian called out into the void.
"Pop!"
The air opposite him suddenly rippled like the surface of calm water disturbed by a small pebble. "Swoosh!" A man shrouded in black cloth appeared in the room, exuding a cold aura. His entire body was covered, with only his eyes showing—a pair void of emotion and cold as ice. Upon appearing, the man stared straight at Dong Feitian: "What do you need of ?"
