Chapter 179: Chapter 179: Terrifying Marksmanship

Gu Cong had already learned the news that someone had hired an assassin to take out Zhai Quan. At first, he thought those assassins were too weak, as they were taken down in just a few moves, but now it seemed that was just an appetizer.

The main event was yet to come.

If there was a bomb onboard the ship, they were all going to die here.

The ship had already sailed deep into the Beiyang. Without lifeboats, they would all drown at sea.

Was the person behind this targeting only Zhai Quan, or did they want everyone on the ship dead? They were too ruthless!

"Master Chen, what do we do? If it goes on like this, the ship will sink," Feng Ye said, discarding his usual frivolous demeanor as his brows furrowed deeply.

There were over two hundred lives on this ship; if it went down, they would all die here.

On hearing the ship might sink, Wang Tingting, along with everyone else present, immediately panicked.

"I don’t want to die here, Master Chen. You have vast powers, there must be something you can do, right?" she cried. The Beiyang was known to have sharks, and if the ship sank, not only would they drown, but their bodies were also likely to be mutilated by the sharks.

Xiao Chen was already irritated, and his face turned instantly dark at her crying and fussing.

He turned and walked toward the second deck without looking back.

"Wuxin!"

Zhai Quan’s eyes widened as he saw the woman in black emerging from the shadows.

They had just run down from the third floor when an explosion nearly split their heads open.

His bodyguards were either dead or injured, and he had barely escaped severe injury, thanks to Xiao Bai and Cang Leng’s protection, although he was still slightly concussed.

He got up shakily, his legs wobbly and not quite heeding his commands.

Xiao Bai and Cang Leng had thrown themselves on top of him to protect Zhai Quan. Both were wounded and rose up a bit disheveled, eyeing the cold and grim woman in front of them warily.

Never did they expect her to dare use such a large amount of explosive on the ship!

"Golden Net’s Xiao Bai and Cang Leng, Mr. Zhai has quite the operation," Wuxin said with a corner of her lips slightly hooked, her eyes sinisterly fixed on the three of them.

Zhai Quan coughed twice, somewhat breathlessly, "That’s to guard against you!"

"Defeated soldiers. Neither of them is my match; I am determined to take your head today," she said, spinning the dagger in her hand, which reflected a cold light in the night.

The sea slapped against the ship, and the wind howled past their cheeks, but the three of them remained calm and composed.

"If I remember correctly, you’re the second-ranked assassin on the leaderboard," Zhai Quan said, looking at her coldly. He too had intentions of taking her head.

"So what if I am," Wuxin said with a slight curve of her lips. Unless Other Shore Flower was present, even the fourth or fifth on the list wouldn’t be able to touch her, let alone these two injured men.

Zhai Quan’s smile deepened, "Coincidentally, I’ve hired Other Shore Flower to protect me."

Wuxin’s expression changed slightly, her cold eyes scrutinizing him, as if testing the truth of his words.

Other Shore Flower only killed; she didn’t protect.

And after so much time, Other Shore Flower hadn’t shown up. Wuxin had once seen Other Shore Flower’s profile and had been around the scene enough to not have noticed anyone resembling her.

"Really? Why don’t you call her out," she said mockingly, her playful gaze landing on the faces of the three men, their calm and composed appearances not seeming to be an act.

Could she really be here?

Zhai Quan: "..."

To tell the truth, he had not seen Other Shore Flower herself up to now; he didn’t know where she was, so how could he call her?

He hoped they weren’t being played by the Golden Net group.

Xiao Bai and Cang Leng couldn’t help but laugh, "Behind you."

Sensing a chill at her back, Wuxin instinctively moved away from her spot and drew a gun, aiming it at Zhai Quan.

Zhai Quan, upon hearing the words of Xiao Bai and the others, also subconsciously looked behind her; after all, he had never seen Other Shore Flower before. But before he knew it, a flash of cold light flickered at the corner of his eye, and a bullet, glowing with sparks, flew toward him.

Thinking he was certainly a goner, the bullet speeding towards him was knocked to the ground within a split second.

His soul still unsettled, he stared at the two bullet casings on the ground, his dark eyes filled with incredible shock.

Given the situation just now, the speed of the bullet, and such a close range, the bullet would have penetrated his body in fractions of a second, yet another bullet had precisely knocked it off course.

What kind of marksmanship and calculating brain was that?!

Seeing the bullet intercepted, Xiao Bai and Cang Leng instinctively sighed in relief.

Thank goodness the boss intercepted it, otherwise, a billion dollars would have gone down the drain.

"Boss, she’s the billion dollars!" Cang Leng instantly regained strength, no longer feeling dizzy, forgetting the blood still flowing from his body, his eyes excitedly fixated on Wuxin, who was on alert.

Wuxin: "?"

"I’m called Wuxin, as in Wu Qing’s Wuxin, not ’billion dollars’!" Wuxin narrowed her eyes, staring at Yun Yue. She didn’t look like Other Shore Flower, but if Cang Leng was calling her boss, it must be her.

The difference between this face and the profile she had seen before was simply too vast—no wonder she hadn’t recognized her!

Had she known Other Shore Flower was here, she would have decisively finished the task earlier, without wasting any words!

He had thought the bullet he fired just now would surely kill Zhai Quan, but it had unexpectedly been intercepted by her!

Such marksmanship was truly terrifying!

This was the source of her fear, the unshakable position she held in the assassin world.

Anyone who heard her name would turn pale with fear.

Xiao Chen and the others who arrived could clearly see what had just happened: the visual impact directly stimulated their brains.

Could a human even do that?!

At just a few meters away, they hadn’t even had time to react when the two bullets collided!

This was no coincidence!

"Master Chen, is she Other Shore Flower?" Feng Ye’s lips and tongue were somewhat disobedient, he was just too shocked!

Even Master Chen, known for his precision in gunplay, couldn’t have pulled off what had just occurred!

There were just too many factors to consider.

"Eight or nine out of ten chances, she is." Xiao Chen’s deep eyes fixated on that slender figure, his gaze profound, as if trying to see through something.

"Understood, the billion dollars." Yun Yue’s eyes lightly squinted, her lips curving upward as she casually watched her.

A stark contrast formed instantly between them.

"Right, she’s the billion dollars, take her down," Zhai Quan said excitedly.

Other Shore Flower was invincible!

With her arrival, Wuxin, who had just been arrogantly cocky, instantly became like a frightened mouse.

"Mr. Zhai, such a big offer, I never thought my low life was worth a billion," Wuxin realized then that ten billion was referring to her; only a real fool wouldn’t understand by now.

"It’s you who forced this, and now you’re alone, you can’t escape even with wings," Zhai Quan gritted his teeth, he had been unable to eat or sleep properly for days, all because of her.

"Heh, goodbye, I won’t play with you guys anymore." Wuxin immediately jumped off the boat, Yun Yue raised her handgun to find it out of bullets.

"Xiao Bai!"

In perfect understanding, Xiao Bai tossed his gun out, "Catch!"

She leaped forward, catching the thrown gun in mid-air, and fired two precise shots at the person who had jumped down, while Zhai Quan’s men directly opened fire with a machine gun towards the sea surface.

Bright red blood floated on the water, but the person had vanished.

"Where’s Qiu Jun?" Xiao Chen only then remembered him; after leaving the auction, he hadn’t been seen, and Xiao Chen’s instincts told him he wouldn’t have left so easily.
