Global Lords: Me and My Calabash Kiddos

Chapter 382: Chapter 171: Bounty Hunter, Rose Squad_2

The instant he was sent flying, Chi Ying saw a Little Kiddo reveal herself, with an innocent look on her face.

Qi Force entered his body, swiftly destroying Chi Ying’s internal organs.

The Cloud Void Stone in his left hand slipped out.

It was caught by Sixth Child!

But the flying blade in his right hand had not been released and was still gripped tightly by Chi Ying.

”Pfft!”

He saw Yi Tian slash down an assassin with his sword, wanted to make his move, but was powerless.

In the end, his own palm was sliced open, bleeding by his flying blade.

Just as Chi Ying was about to fall off the city wall, he was caught by a Red Race assassin who had not yet climbed up.

”Retreat...”

Chi Ying spat out this word, dying with his eyes open.

He was the infamous Black Blood Hall assassin, always resorting to sneak attacks.

Now he was killed by a sneak attack—how suffocating must that feel?

So it begins, so it ends!

”Whoosh!”

Seeing their boss ambushed, one assassin immediately hurled a flying blade at Sixth Child.

Before the blade arrived, Sixth Child turned ethereal and vanished.

”The assassin leader is dead—counterattack!”

Yi Tian let out a breath of relief. Chi Ying’s presence was like having a broadsword pressed to his throat.

With his stealth and mysterious treasures, approaching someone was absolutely silent.

If he targeted someone, that person was almost surely dead!

If Big Bear hadn’t discovered tonight’s ambush, if these assassins had sneaked into the villa, Yi Tian, the Little Kiddos, Liyue, Qixin—they’d all be done for!

From now on, Yi Tian decided Dragon Sparrow Guards had to take turns on night duty, not just rely on the Three-dimensional Combat Soldiers.

Of course, night shifts come with a night allowance!

”Retreat!”

Contrary to Yi Tian’s side’s soaring morale, the few dozen remaining assassins felt utterly crushed.

They obeyed Chi Ying’s last order, leaping off the city wall to escape.

But now the Red Race assassins had lost the Cloud Void Stone as their cover.

After driving the assassins down the wall, Yi Tian instructed Yue Fei, Huo Qubing, and others: ”Pursue the assassins! Twelve-winged Tiger Star Beast and Eastsea Falcon will assist you. Surrender, you’ll live; resist, you die.”

The Red Race’s assassin elites were all dead. With Yi Tian sending his raptors after them, there was just no way anyone could escape.

Yi Tian still had other matters to handle.

”Yes, sir!” Yue Fei, Huo Qubing, and the rest acknowledged.

”Second Child, how are things elsewhere?”

Yi Tian asked Second Child.

The battle with the Red Race assassins hadn’t lasted long, so Yi Tian was not too rushed.

Even if a whole army attacked, with Saltwater Lake as buffer, Yi Tian could take his time preparing.

”Still those four! They’re in a little boat, almost at the shore.”

”Besides those eight S-levels who can’t get in, there’s no one else. I can’t see them, nor can I hear any heartbeats.”

Second Child was very serious this time, then shook her head. She wasn’t sure if the enemy was hiding like the Red Race assassins had, maybe even silencing their heartbeats from her hearing.

”Big Bear, Second Bear, do you sense anything else weird in the territory?” Yi Tian asked the two Earth Bears.

”Huff huff!”

Big Bear and Second Bear sniffed around, indicating: there are four unfamiliar scents north, not far from shore.

Second Bear also added: Those scents have a rose fragrance—women, and beauties at that!

Yi Tian was speechless. Second Bear could recognize women by scent?

You sniff out women, makes sense. But how do you sniff out beauties? What kind of skill is that?

”Kiddos, Big White, Big Bear, Second Bear, let’s go face them together.”

Yi Tian was completely puzzled.

Four Platinum Warriors attacking his territory—do they all have Divine Talent or something?

Or maybe, like the Red Race assassins, their goal was to assassinate him?

Yi Tian decided to go out and ambush them!

Seven Little Kiddos, Big Bear, Second Bear, Yin Yang Giant Panda—for extra insurance, Yi Tian also called Xin Qiji and Thunder Yuan.

The real main force among the Kiddos was Seventh-Child and Third Child—the rest had used up their powers.

Third Child Vajra Indestructible lasts for an hour. Still plenty of time.

With Seventh-Child here, they had a spiritual anchor.

Besides, in the recent fight, Seventh-Child had only unleashed Divine Thunder once.

After leaving the city, Yi Tian and company lay in ambush in the Fragrant Birch Forest.

The nearest road to the city ran between Fragrant Birch Forest and Lake One.

North shore of the territory.

A black boat cut through the waves, approaching.

Though powered by Beast Core, the boat moved with only the sound of water—no other noise whatsoever.

Four stunningly beautiful women leapt ashore from the boat.

All four wore tight outfits, accentuating their curves.

”Big Sis, the Lord’s territory just flashed with light and noise. Are we really going through with the job?”

As they neared the territory, one woman seemed terribly nervous.

The plan was to sneak in noiselessly and finish the job.

But now, things seemed off!

”This time, the employer shelled out a lot of Gold, the Elder opened the altar, and got us into the territory. If we fail, we’ll lose our reputation and get punished when we’re back.”

The most voluptuous girl spoke, her wine-red hair marking her as the Big Sis of their little crew.

They came from the famous Bounty Hunter Guild of the Ten Kingdoms Region.

Bounty hunters were a bit like assassin or mercenary groups—paid with resources by clients, doing jobs for them. But there were key differences between bounty hunters and assassins or mercenaries.

Assassins—besides killing, they don’t really do anything else.

Mercenaries—besides killing, they can help tribes in wars, maybe accept protection jobs for clients.

A bounty hunter rarely takes on typical assassin jobs. Most have a special skill: hunting, capturing specific fierce beasts, searching for heavenly and earthly treasures, seeking treasure maps, helping countries catch fugitives, rescue missions, searches, expeditions, protection, treasure hunting—you name it, bounty hunters do it.
