Chapter 314: Chapter 279 Awakening

"When is she likely to make her move?"

"A special team has prepared a gun for her; they are trying to smuggle it into the women’s restroom at the sports stadium—that is, the venue of the concert."

"Is there anything else we need to be wary of?"

"We need to delay the time, to ensure Zhao Junyu awakens at midnight."

"The concert can’t last that long."

"Bring in a few particularly influential guest performers, then delay the start time again, and lengthen the intermission—but don’t give that assassin a chance to get the gun."

"That can be done."

"Also, have some top celebrities currently in the Capital attend. Otherwise, if the concert drags on too long, the audience will get tired, the atmosphere will not be right, and awakening will be difficult."

"Easy, I’ll arrange it right away."

"Proceed with the plan!"

...

Dating is a particularly interesting matter.

The girl couldn’t be said to be very beautiful, but she was fresh and efficient, looking at one directly when speaking, caring about one’s emotions.

A stranger of the opposite sex, in the prime of life, willing to spend time with you, having dinner and watching a concert together.

How wonderful.

She even smiled at me two and a half times.

The reason for the half-time is because while queuing at the concert entrance, she started to smile happily at the fireworks, then turned her head to look at me.

Half for the fireworks, half for me.

It is said that tonight’s guests are all popular superstars, but their names will not be announced in advance.

Even though I could find out who they are just by asking, let’s play by the rules; it’s more fun that way.

The unknown brings surprises.

Just like love.

What a beautiful night—

Unfortunately, just as we entered the concert and the rock music started, everyone in the crowd went crazy jumping around, and she got swept away just as she said, "I have a gift for you."

—Where did she go?

Completely lost sight of her.

It took a long time before I saw her again.

Finally reunited, we found our seats together and started watching the concert.

The concert was indeed spectacular.

During the intermission, she went to use the restroom.

But from afar, one could see a long line at the women’s restroom, impossible to enter.

When the second half of the concert began, she was still in line.

It’s just one of those things you can’t control.

Just as she was about to reach the front of the line, the women’s restroom plumbing seemed to have broken, someone rushed to fix it, and the girls were redirected to use the men’s restroom.

She went too.

When she returned, she seemed somewhat unhappy.

But no matter.

I prepared some snacks and drinks to cheer her up again.

The music resumes!

Up till the concert was nearing its end—

The women’s restroom was back in service.

She went again.

Urinating a lot.

Stop, why am I thinking about this, maybe she just drank too much water?

The band on stage got hyped, the music blasted, making everyone raise their hands and start shouting.

At the peak of the deafening cheers, the girl finally returned to my side again.

A breeze lifted her short hair.

Her eyes, carrying a smile, reflected the crowd and me, her pink lips slightly parted, seemingly wanting to say something to me.

No.

To be born human—

As a man—

How could I let a girl take the initiative to say that phrase?

So Zhao Junyu narrowed his eyes, smiling, and gently said,

"Shall we be together?"

The smile at the corner of the girl’s eyes faded, and her face grew a touch colder as she responded,

"Go to hell."

A small and exquisite handgun appeared in the girl’s hand, aimed at Zhao Junyu.

He could see the movement of her delicate, slender finger pulling the trigger, as well as the revolver’s cylinder turning.

So she was an assassin.

I’m going to die.

What a pity.

Why do all the women who get close to me want me dead?

Why is there no love in this world?

Everything was engulfed in darkness.

Bang!!!

Thousands of bronze hands emerged from the Void, seemingly constructing a tower out of thin air, isolating everyone, covering only Zhao Junyu.

Wu Xiaode stood at the top of the tower, holding a phone, looking at the time displayed on the screen.

"23:59"

"00:00"

The timing was perfect.

The Book of the Dead opened automatically, revealing rows of ice crystal-like text:

"There appears to be a commission concerning this event on the wall of wishes, do you wish to take it?"

Upon the wall of wishes, a slip of paper gently drifted down, appearing before his eyes:

"He was born in the prison of sin, and he is also the last descendant of our Zhao family. Please assist him in his awakening; this has been my longstanding wish."

"If you fulfill this commission, I will personally enter the fray to battle the Demon God with you all."

"I’ll take it!" Wu Xiaode said.

Another row of ice crystal text emerged:

"The commission is accepted, please endeavor to complete it!"

Wu Xiaode looked toward Zhao Junyu.

Had he awakened?

There seemed to be no sign of it.

"Plan B."

Wu Xiaode said softly.

All the bronze hands instantly dispersed.

Zhao Junyu stood there dumbfounded, as if he had been scared silly, or perhaps he hadn’t yet come to terms with the situation.

A gentle female voice suddenly came from behind:

"Don’t worry, even though she doesn’t like you, I do."

Zhao Junyu’s eyes came alive.

He slowly turned his head to look—

He saw a broad-shouldered, burly man with a chest full of hair, and a face covered in stubble, holding a voice changer, looking at him with a teasing gaze.

Zhao Junyu shuddered, as if something had struck him hard.

Dinglingling—

The phone rang.

He lowered his head to look at the rows of information that appeared on the phone.

The girl’s entire plan, including her background, the underground task she had accepted, the content and deadline of the task, her various preparations, as well as the record of her chatting with him.

Everything, clear as day.

Zhao Junyu looked for a few moments, closed the phone, and walked towards that girl.

At this time, the surroundings were shrouded in mist, making it impossible for anyone to notice what was happening here.

Outside the fog, there were many plainclothes masters who, deliberately or otherwise, isolated this area from other people.

Zhao Junyu walked up to the girl and sighed,

"Actually, we didn’t have to go this far."

The girl, held by seven or eight bronze hands, spat out hatefully, "Cut the crap and do it."

"No, we’ve already made an appointment, I won’t kill you."

Zhao Junyu looked somewhat forlorn but still said with a smile,

"Many things in the human world are due to misunderstandings—if we had known what was in each other’s hearts earlier, this wouldn’t have been a tragedy, would it?"

A strange aura began to emanate from him.

Wu Xiaode sensed it and said uncertainly, "It seems there’s a slight fluctuation."

Xia Huilan’s voice came through the earpiece:

"Don’t doubt it, he’s Awakened, but he’s probably not a close combat profession, so the fluctuation of Soul Power is almost entirely within his body, which is why you can’t sense it."

Another female voice chimed in, "Awakened? Good."

Zhao Zhibing.

Her voice contained a rare trace of joy.

Wu Xiaode also breathed a sigh of relief.

—But what exactly had Zhao Junyu Awakened?

He looked over curiously.

But he saw Zhao Junyu raise his hand and softly say to the female Assassin through the air,

"Possess."

A beam of light flew out from his hand and entered the girl’s body.

The girl’s complexion changed, and she cried out involuntarily,

"What are you doing!"

She found she could no longer control her own body.

Wu Xiaode timely released all the bronze hands.

Zhao Junyu remained still.

So did the girl.

For a short while.

The girl closed her eyes, seemingly feeling something,

"So you do have feelings for me... you just didn’t want to admit it yourself. What a regrettable matter."

She said softly, her voice filled with regret.

The light left her body and returned to Zhao Junyu’s hand, hovering uncertainly.

The girl opened her eyes, returning to normal.

Zhao Junyu retracted the light, wiped the tears from his eyes with his hand, and turned to walk towards the concert exit.

"However, I did have a good time today. Thank you for accompanying me to this concert, so—"

"I won’t kill you this time. You can go."

Wu Xiaode hurriedly followed him.

The commission on the wall had been completed!

—But when a person has just Awakened, it is also the most dangerous time, and he would have to continue to protect Zhao Junyu.

As for the Six Demon Gods, arrangements had already been made, so there should be no problems for the time being.

The two walked away, one after the other.

Zhao Zhibing quietly emerged from the crowd and came before the female Assassin.

"I have a question for you. If you give a good answer, I will let you leave as he said."

Zhao Zhibing said coldly.

"Ask," the Assassin said through clenched teeth.

She had done her research and knew how powerful and terrifying this woman was; she was definitely not someone to be trifled with.

"You know my brother is the Crown Prince, so killing him would merely earn you a reward, and force you to live on the run—"

"Since he likes you, and you have feelings for him, why not give up the task and simply be with him?"

The girl was taken aback.

Zhao Zhibing continued, "The Zhao family has no issues with social status; if my brother married a female Assassin, my father might even find it delightful, and consider it a story worth telling."

"In this case, you would gain love, wealth, status, and power—far better than being an Assassin."

Zhao Zhibing finally asked, "Why didn’t you choose that?"

The female Assassin was speechless.

After a few moments,

"I get it, you never dared to imagine such a thing."

Zhao Zhibing turned and walked towards the concert exit, not looking back as she said,

"People are limited—the thing that often restricts a person is herself."

"You consider yourself an Assassin."

"So remain an Assassin forever; it’s not stupidity, but the destiny you’ve set for yourself."

"I just hope you won’t bother our Zhao family again, or else you will die without a place to be buried."

As her words finished,

She walked away.

All the skilled operatives in the vicinity withdrew.

On the stage, the band was emotionally performing the last farewell song.

The girl was still standing in the same spot, her expression blank and forlorn.
