Chapter 569: Chapter 569 Assassination (1)

In the Xuandu Suburbs, where the An Family Villa was located, there were few inhabitants. Although the environment here was elegant and the scenery pleasing, it was not the most famous affluent district in Xuandu City. Most people preferred to live in communities, especially the wealthy families who liked to compare their wealth and luxurious lifestyles with their neighbors. A grand family like the An Family, preferring seclusion, was quite rare indeed.

At this time, it was late February in Xuandu City, and by a little after seven o’clock in the evening, the sky had already darkened. The An Family Villa was surrounded by only a few scattered households, all of which were quite far apart.

Outside the An Family Villa, everything was quiet; a bright moon hung in the dense black night sky, its normally bright radiance adding a silvery chill to this spring’s cold night.

Suddenly, a dry tree in the distance swayed slightly. In the still and windless night, it inexplicably made a noise.

Soon after, with a "bang", a dark figure descended from the tree, bringing a gust of cool wind and scattering dry leaves.

From the vague outline, one could tell that this was a tall man.

He stood still, looking in the direction of the An Family Villa, his eyes cold as a hawk’s, tightly fixed on the brightly lit building.

Then, with a wave of his hand, five or six men and women emerged from around him.

They quickly surrounded the man in quiet, quick steps, their eyes filled with respect and fear.

"Boss, An Yiqing is still at Yuyuanzhai. There are only An Family members at the villa now, and no Ancient Martial Artists," a young man who looked to be around twenty-three or twenty-four assured confidently, patting his chest with certainty about his investigation.

The tall man leading them nodded, "Move in, exterminate the An Family before An Yiqing returns!"

"Yes!"

With a wave of his large hand, the seven figures dispersed, moving towards the An Family Villa like phantoms with incredible speed.

Meanwhile, inside the An Family Villa, the An Family had no idea of the impending danger; they had just enjoyed the last dinner of dumplings for the New Year, chatting and watching television in the lively living room.

"Xiao Shi, did you save some food for Niuniu?" Old Master An looked up from his book and asked with concern.

"Dad, don’t worry, I did. It’s still warm in the pot!" Kong Shi nodded with a beaming smile.

"Good, Niuniu is really something—busy with Medicine Sect one moment and Yuyuanzhai the next. I don’t even know if she’s had time to eat." Worry crept into Old Master An’s voice as he fretted over his busy granddaughter. "Zisheng, why don’t you find some reliable talent to assist Niuniu? She’s only twenty and this constant busyness might affect her health."

An Zisheng nodded in agreement but couldn’t help revealing a bitter smile, "Dad, I’ve already brought it up with Niuniu. But she said it’s her own career and she doesn’t want to rely on the family. Sigh, don’t worry about it. I know what I’m doing. If it ever becomes too much for her to handle, I’ll find someone to help her, even if she objects." His daughter’s wellbeing was dear to him. Though An Zisheng had respected An Yiqing’s wishes and hadn’t sent anyone to help her, he had been quietly keeping an eye on the situation, ready to provide help whenever her business became too much to manage.

Reassured by An Zisheng’s words, Old Master An was about to put down his book and speak when suddenly, his expression sharpened, and he swiftly turned his head to look outside the window!

At the same moment Old Master An turned, there was a loud crash—windows on the first floor of the villa shattered one after another, the fragments clattering to the ground, as a piercing chill swept quickly into the house!

Hearing the commotion, other members of the An Family stood up, gathering together, warily looking around.

Old Master An and An Zisheng, the strongest among them, took the lead in front, with An Zhihang and An Zhiyan protecting the weaker Kong Shi and Old Lady An behind them. Their Inner Breath churned within, their energy flowing, ready for any danger, prepared to deliver a lethal blow to any enemy!
