The Return Of The God Level Assassin

INSIDE the VIP room of a well-known jewelry, a handsome man wearing a crisp black suit was sitting inside. There were three ring catalogues in front of him. All of which had elegant and beautiful designs. And, of course, very expensive.

”Master Luo, what type of ring are you looking for?” asked the manager of the store who was personally assisting this VIP customer.

”Something for an engagement,” the handsome man said while browsing through one of the catalogues.

The manager was surprised. But she managed not to show it on her face. Sheʼs a professional after all. But still, she couldnʼt believe that the eldest son of the Luo family was now getting engage. She hadnʼt heard any gossip about him being in a relationship before. Could it possibly be an arrange marriage?

That certainly was possible. Well, whatever. Itʼs not like it had something to do with her anyway. The important thing was to satisfy the customer.

”Can I ask what is Master Luoʼs requirement?”

”A unique but very beautiful ring,” Luo Ren responded. Then an image suddenly flashed in his mind, that of a tall young woman with sharp features. And he couldnʼt help the smile that appeared on his face. ”Yes, just like her.”

The assistant raised one of her brows. It seemed like it was not an arranged marriage after all. If that was the case, then she already had a ring in mind. She picked a special catalogue and opened it to one of the pages inside.

”How about this Master Luo? This was designed by an up-and-coming designer. She named it ʼRose in Bloomʼ.”

On the picture was a silver ring with a pink diamond as a center. But that was not all. The head of the ring was shaped like petals. It had smaller pink diamonds inlaid on it, making it really seemed like it was a pink rose blooming.

Luo Renʼs eyes brightened when he saw it. This ring, it was simply perfect. Just imagining it place on her left ring finger already brought a small on his face.

”This is perfect,” he said.

”Good. I will go and get it now.”

A few more minutes had passed and Luo Ren was now on his way out of the store. A velvet box with a ring was now in his breast pocket.

”Thank you, Master Luo, and congratulations on your engagement,” the assistant said.

Luo Ren grinned. ”Itʼs not official yet. Iʼm just about to propose.”

A black Harley-Davidson parked on the airport parking lot. The young man driving got off the motorcycle and removed his helmet, revealing a handsome face. His body was very well-built, as shown with his bulging muscles.

He started walking towards the arrival area of the airport. He looked around and happened to see a poster for an upcoming movie. The ones on it were the captain of team Celestials and that other woman who was in their team. No, he should probably say former since both had already retired from playing.

Just like the members of team Yunyue.

Of course, it didnʼt mean that they didnʼt play anymore. He still logged into his account from time to time. They just no longer participate in any events and stuffs. Theyʼre just casually playing now.

He continued to walk towards the arrival area and a smile crossed his lips when he saw the tall woman walking at a distance. She had a cap covering her long hair that was dyed in blue with purple highlights. She was wearing a leather jacket, ripped jeans, and a pair of combat boots. She was carrying a knapsack over her shoulder.

Luo Jin ran forward and called, ”Yuqi!”

Su Yuqi turned towards his direction. She looked surprised but then quickly smirked.

”Welcome back,” Luo Jin said once he was near Su Yuqi.

”I didnʼt expect you to come here,” Su Yuqi said.

”Youʼve been gone for a year. Of course, I had to welcome you.”

”Yeah. Itʼs already been a year, huh,” Su Yuqi said as if she couldnʼt believe that time had passed that quick already. ”It seems I kept you waiting.”

Luo Jin gazed at Su Yuqiʼs beautiful face and smiled. ”Itʼs fine. Iʼm used to waiting.”

Su Yuqi also smiled and then walked past Luo Jin. ”Maybe you donʼt have to wait anymore.”

Luo Jin was startled when he heard that. He sharply turned to Su Yuqi. ”Hey, Yuqi, what do you mean by that?”

Su Yuqi only smirked at him before walking forward. So, he had no choice but run after her.

”Hey, Ji Yun, can you just come and save me?” Bai Ze asked over the phone.

He was standing in the middle of a crowd inside a hall. If that was all, he wouldnʼt mind. But this hall had posters of 2D boys in, well, very close positions. Like hugging, holding hands, cheeks touching, he even saw one that was kissing. In short, this was a convention for girls and some boys who liked 2D boy to boy action.

”Iʼm busy. Who told you to go to that place?” Shen Ji Yun said.

”Hey, if Xiao Yan asked you to, I donʼt know, go to a rock metal concert, wouldnʼt you go?”

There was no response. The otherʼs silence already meant that he agreed.

”You went there with your girlfriend. Just bear with it. Iʼm hanging up.”

Then it was followed by a busy tone. Bai Ze almost cursed. Who said that one could rely on a friend during times like these?

”Ah Ze!” called a womanʼs voice from behind him.

Bai Ze tried his best to show a smile before turning around. The woman had a big smile on her face. She was petite and dainty, wearing a loose cashmere sweater and denim shorts paired with sneakers and thigh-length black and white socks. Her long hair was tied in twin braids. And her big cat-like eyes were behind a pair of big round glasses.

She gestured for him to come over. And Bai Ze could only run towards her.

Luo Yan stretched out his arms. He looked at the time and saw that it was almost five oʼclock in the afternoon. He stood up and walked out of his office. There were three programmers outside, all young and obviously fresh graduates.

”Are you leaving now, Chief?” asked one.

”Yes. You three should also go home and rest,” he said. ”The coming days would be very hectic. You wonʼt know when youʼll be able to go home on time next,” he added, joking a bit.

”Itʼs fine, Chief. Overtime means more money.”

Luo Yan only shook his head before going out of their department.

This was a small company that had only been recently established. It only occupied a floor of a commercial building at S City and had a small number of employees. But it also had its advantage. Because itʼs a subsidiary company under Moonlight Media – the biggest gaming company in the country.

Itʼs name was Night Cloud Games. Was there still a need to ask the reason why?

When he passed a room with a ʼDesign Department Headʼ plaque on it, he thought of knocking just in case someone was still there. And someone was indeed there because he heard a voice coming from the inside telling him to come in, so he opened the door.

Inside the room, he saw a tall woman whose face was almost buried on whatever it was she was doing.

”Jiao Jiao, donʼt you have dinner tonight with brother?”

With his sudden question, the woman busy with work raised her head. Her hair was fashionably short and also a tad bit messy. Unlike when they were in high school, she was no longer wearing those thick glasses. Which now showed her sharp eyes and handsome features.

She abruptly stood up. ”Youʼre right, I almost forgot. Thank you for reminding me, Yan Yan.”

Luo Yan only smiled. ”Youʼre welcome.”

”Do you think Brother Ren will be angry?” she asked, looking a little bit anxious.

”The only time my older brother will ever be angry at you is if you break up with him,” Luo Yan said with a bit of teasing.

Sure enough, Yu Jiaoʼs whole face turned red.

Luo Yan only laughed. He then closed the door and continued walking towards the presidentʼs office. He smiled at the secretary/assistant sitting outside and asked if the president was inside.

”Yes. You can just go inside, Mr. Luo.”

Luo Yan nodded. He didnʼt bother to knock and just opened the door.

Inside was a man sitting behind a desk and busily looking over a couple of papers. His black hair was cleanly swept back and his blue eyes were full of concentration. No matter how many times he saw him wearing a suit, the effect was still the same. He was still as handsome.

He probably noticed his presence because he raised head. When he saw him, a smile quickly bloomed on that handsome face, melting away all the coldness that was surrounding him.

”Yan Yan.”

Luo Yan walked towards the otherʼs desk and leaned on it. ”Do you still have a lot of work to do, Brother Ji Yun?” he asked while looking at the stack of papers on the desk.

”Just a little bit,” Shen Ji Yun answered. ”Iʼll just look over a few more and then we can go to dinner.”

Luo Yan walked behind Shen Ji Yunʼs chair and hugged him from behind, putting his chin on his shoulder. ”Aww… my boyfriend is too hardworking.”

Shen Ji Yun cleared his throat. ”Yan, donʼt make trouble.”

Luo Yan chuckled when he saw the otherʼs ear tip turning red. They had already been together for years and yet Shen Ji Yun would still blush at the simplest thing. He stood up and let go.

”Is Uncle Yi Mu still on vacation with Uncle Yue?” he thought of asking.

”Yeah, they told me itʼs their second honeymoon so we should not disturb them.”

”Second honeymoon, huh? Maybe the two of us should also get married. Then—”

Luo Yan wasnʼt able to finish what he was saying because his arm was suddenly pulled. He felt his body falling backward and instinctively closed his eyes. When he opened his gaze, he was already sitting on Shen Ji Yunʼs lap.

”Donʼt tempt me or I might just really abduct you overseas and have you married me on the spot,” Shen Ji Yun said, looking at him with his intense blue gaze.

Luo Yan quickly got over his surprise and a big playful smile appeared on his face. He raised his arms and put them around Shen Ji Yunʼs neck.

”I wouldnʼt mind being abducted.” He slowly closed the distance between them and then whispered on his ear, ”But you should propose first. And I want a grand one.”

Shen Ji Yun also smiled. ”Your wish is my command, my love.”
