Chapter 455: Chapter 455: The Overbearing Nangong Family Head_1
That night, in so inconspicuous small building.
Leng Shuang’er was pacing back and forth in the room with her mobile phone, waiting for the return of the seven assassins.
"It’s already two in the morning, why haven’t they co back? It shouldn’t take this long, should it?" Leng Shuang’er’s brows suddenly furrowed.
She had a certain understanding of Zhang Xian’s capabilities, but couldn’t give an accurate answer. However, the strength of the seven assassins was not weak, and it was a seven against one situation, so their chances of success should be high.
Yet, after all this ti, how co those seven guys haven’t returned?
"Knock, knock, knock..."
Suddenly, a knock on the door broke the silence of the room.
"Phew..."
When Leng Shuang’er heard the knock, she finally breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that those seven guys had completed their mission and that her target was now gone from this world.
As for the previous ssage, she had sincerely warned Zhang Xian, but she didn’t think Zhang Xian could escape. She just wanted to return a favor to Zhang Xian.
She had not forgotten the incident in the border town last ti, but just couldn’t find the right opportunity, and hence had sent that ssage now.
"Hey, beauty..."
Zhang Xian leaned against the door, waving his hand with a smile, "Long ti no see, have you missed ?"
"Ah..."
Leng Shuang’er was startled, retreating backwards, "Why...why is it you? You...weren’t you supposed to...why are you here?"
"Am I supposed to be dead?"
Zhang Xian chuckled, propped one hand on the door fra, and posed in a way he thought was cool. "I have to say, the strength of you Skynet assassins really isn’t that great!"
"How is this possible?" Leng Shuang’er didn’t believe it, she thought Zhang Xian may have escaped.
It should be noted that seven assassins had gone after him this ti. No matter how strong Zhang Xian was, he could not beat seven people at once, right? All of them were assassins.
Thinking of sothing, she suddenly said, "What are you doing here? You better leave now! Once they return, no matter how many legs you have, you will not be able to escape their pursuit."
"Eh?"
Zhang Xian asked in surprise, "Beauty, are you worried about ?"
"I..." Leng Shuang’er was taken aback.
What’s going on? This guy is the target she was supposed to assassinate, right? Why would she worry about him? What is happening?
"Say, have you fallen in love with ?" Zhang Xian chuckled.
Leng Shuang’er glared at him, angrily said, "Who likes you? Stop talking nonsense and leave imdiately. You once saved my life, so I won’t kill you today. Consider it us being even."
"That ssage was indeed sent by you. It seems my guess was correct, interesting."
Zhang Xian laughed and said, "Originally, you were supposed to die today. However, seeing how cute you are, I decided not to kill you. In the future, I hope you don’t do anything stupid."
"You’re the one doing stupid things!"
Leng Shuang’er glared at Zhang Xian and said, "Aren’t you leaving? If they catch you, don’t say I didn’t return the favor."
"Who else wants to catch ?" Zhang Xian asked.
Leng Shuang’er said, "Didn’t I send you a ssage before, saying soone wanted to kill you?"
"Them, dare to chase ?"
Zhang Xian laughed and said, "Beauty, are you overestimating their strength, or underestimating mine? Those small fry, I already dealt with them."
"What?"
Leng Shuang’er asked in surprise, "You...you took care of them, all seven?"
"That’s right, exactly seven, not one less."
Zhang Xian nodded and asked, "Beauty, actually I’m very curious, how did you know my phone number?"
"This..."
Leng Shuang’er said, "Is finding your phone number difficult?"
"True..."
Zhang Xian rubbed his nose and said, "If you can’t even get a phone number, that would be pretty pathetic."
"You...you’re the pathetic one!" Leng Shuang’er clenched her teeth and said.
Zhang Xian nodded and said, "Yes! I am pathetic, but so people have tried to assassinate
several tis and still can’t kill , which only shows that so people are even more pathetic than , it’s truly pitiful!"
"You..." Upon hearing this, Leng Shuang’er was so angry she couldn’t speak.
However, she really had failed to assassinate him several tis and couldn’t find any reason to retort. All she could do was angrily stare at Zhang Xian.
"Hehe..."
After a chuckle, Zhang Xian said, "Beauty, maybe you don’t know this, but I ca over here today actually wanting to take care of you as well, to eliminate any future threats. But after seeing how cute you are, I decided to let you go. In the future, I hope you won’t do anything stupid anymore. With your capabilities, don’t even talk about killing , you wouldn’t even be able to lay a finger on ."
"Um..." Leng Shuang’er stood there, stunned.
Zhang Xian laughed and didn’t bother with Leng Shuang’er anymore, instead, he turned around and walked downstairs.
Although Leng Shuang’er wanted to kill him, he thought she was a little different from other assassins, being a little beauty and all. So he didn’t have the heart to kill her, despite all assassins being disgraceful.
Having received Leng Shuang’er’s ssage today, and seeing her clear stand on grudges and favor, he didn’t want to kill her anymore.
"What does he an?" Seeing Zhang Xian just leaving like this, Leng Shuang’er was a bit annoyed, stomping her foot in anger.
Unfortunately, her capabilities were limited. She didn’t dare chase him for a fight. If seven great assassins were dealt with, how would it be any different from seeking trouble for herself if she acted rashly?
...
That night, around three in the morning.
When Zhang Xian returned to the villa, he saw the light in the living room was on and was sowhat curious.
"Ah..."
Mo Shaoyun walked out of the kitchen and ran into Zhang Xian, which startled her.
"Uh..."
Zhang Xian was taken aback and asked, "Elder Sister Shaoyun, what are you doing here so late? Are you hungry and looking for sothing to eat?"
"I ca down for a drink of water."
Mo Shaoyun glanced at Zhang Xian and asked, "What about you? You return so late, where have you been? Did you receive an invitation from a beauty to spend the night together?"
"Alas..."
Zhang Xian said, "Actually, I wish that were the case! But I was only invited by a group of burly n, there was not much to do."
Mo Shaoyun frowned and asked, "What do you an?"
"A group of assassins."
Zhang Xian said, "But don’t worry, I’ve taken care of them. The assassination threat against the Mo family will soon be revealed, and I will help you thoroughly solve it."
"Assassins?"
Mo Shaoyun, visibly alard, quickly asked, "You... you’re not hurt, are you?"
"I’m fine..."
Zhang Xian laughed, "Seeing you worry about
and care for
so much, even if I get a little hurt, it’s worth it."
"Uh..."
Mo Shaoyun paused for a mont and then said with a cold face, "It’s late, ti for bed."
"Alas..."
Zhang Xian, seeing that Mo Shaoyun had finished speaking and was about to leave, quickly caught up with her and asked, "Wait! Why don’t we talk about life and dreams or sothing? I can’t sleep now."
"As long as I can sleep, that’s fine."
Mo Shaoyun didn’t look back and walked briskly toward the upstairs.
...
At the Nangong Family residence on Longshan.
The Nangong Family Head, after learning of Nangong Wu’s attitude and the incident involving Zhang Xian, slamd the table and stood up angrily, "Nangong Wu and that kid are really bold as brass!"
"Isn’t that right?"
Nangong Luo said, "Family Head, you have no idea how arrogant that guy is, he simply doesn’t take our Nangong Family seriously."
"Hmph..."
The Nangong Family Head laughed coldly, "I’m curious as to what extraordinary talents he possesses, daring to disregard our Nangong Family. I will make him pay the price."
"Family Head, I think we need to consider this matter carefully."
Nangong Wenhuo said, "Not to ntion that this guy is very powerful and might have a significant background, even in the matter of Nangong Wu, we are not in the right."
"Third brother, what do you an by this statent? What do you an we are not in the right?"
The Nangong Family Head asked, "Nangong Wu is a mber of our Nangong Family. As the Family Head, don’t I even have the right to arrange a marriage for her? Is that girl, Nangong Wu so outstanding?"
"The problem is..."
Nangong Wenhuo said, "Nangong Wu has been away from our Nangong family for over a decade and has even denied being a mber of our Nangong family. We shouldn’t intervene, should we?"
"She is not part of the family just because she says so?"
The Nangong Family Head broke into a cold smile, "As long as I don’t expel her from the Nangong Family, she will always be a mber of our family."
"About that..."
Nangong Wenhuo asked, "Don’t you think it’s a bit overbearing to see it that way?"
"Hmph! What’s wrong with being overbearing? For those youngsters, our Nangong family possesses a complete domination."
The Nangong Family Head looked at Nangong Wenhuo coldly and said, "Co to think of it, my son followed you and ended up getting beaten into a ss. Don’t you think you owe an explanation?"
"It’s beyond my ability."
Nangong Wenhuo said, "That young man is powerful. Even if I had stepped in, it would have made no difference."
"What can a re youngster do?"
The Nangong Family Head added, "As the leader and an elder, you should have protected them and ensured their safety. Instead, my son got injured while you escaped unscathed."
Nangong Wenhuo retorted, "I don’t want to explain about this incident."
"You have nothing to say."
Nangong Wenhuo just laughed coldly and didn’t respond.
Nangong Hai got beaten up just because he was asking for it. If he hadn’t been so arrogant and a bit more low-key, would he have been beaten to a pulp?
So people are just itching for a beating. What can he do about it?
"Nangong Luo, go and inform the second eldest to co over. I need to discuss sothing with him."
The Nangong Family Head suddenly spoke, "Since Nangong Wu isn’t obedient, I’m going to strip her of all she has. I would be curious to see how high she can jump after losing the Fairy Palace."
"I’m on it."
Nangong Luo smiled and turned to leave the room.
"Family Head..."
Nangong Wenhuo asked in surprise, "Are you planning to forcefully take over the Fairy Palace and claim it as your own?"
"What do you an by ’forcefully take over’?"
The Nangong Family Head laughed coldly, "Nangong Wu is a mber of our Nangong family, hence her possessions naturally belong to our family. How can you say I want to claim it as my own?"
"It doesn’t seem logical, does it? The Fairy Palace was built by Nangong Wu from scratch and has nothing to do with us.
