Chapter 536: Chapter 406: The Killer Isn’t So Cold

The man with a smile heard the words, narrowed his eyes slightly, but eventually... obediently got bound by the Water Dragon Binding.

At the same time, Aunt Liu’s attacks slowed down. She was Xiang Xue’s guard and had many considerations.

Not to mention, if Xiang Xue’s identity is discovered, it will bring a lot of trouble.

Moreover, that female professor was clearly too much of a bookworm, yet the two of us still depended on her to hide our identities.

Qu Jianlei, however, didn’t stop, still chasing after the cold-faced man despite the many onlookers, lest he appear too aggressive.

His dagger never left the opponent’s vitals, sneering, ”This guy may not be a Patrol Guard!”

He could feel that the cold-faced man’s close combat skills were top-notch even among B-level, extremely murderous.

It’s not unexpected that this guy has far more than three to five lives on his hands, a cold-blooded killer indifferent to life.

Are there such people in Patrol Guards? Saying he’s a Pioneer Team Member seems more reliable.

The cold-faced man saw him relentlessly pursue, continued to dodge frantically, but wouldn’t beg for mercy!

”I’m saving him!” the smiling man shouted, ”I’m Patrol Captain Smiling Face!”

”Panda...” Zi Jiu Immortal lightly coughed, ”Wait for a bit.”

Qu Jianlei’s body suddenly stopped, then he sheathed the Short Dagger and walked toward Zi Jiu Immortal.

Obviously, this was a trap, hoping the opponent would get furious and attack from behind.

By then, he instinctively resists, ”killing unexpectedly,” which could lighten the nature... right?

However, the cold-faced man didn’t do so, realizing the two that surrounded him had left, he also stopped.

Then he reached out his right hand, grasped his left wrist, and looked indifferently at the opponent.

Such traps aren’t common, but by intuition alone, he could sense the danger within.

Besides, even if he launched a sudden attack and killed this Modified Warrior, it would be hard for him to escape death.

Zi Jiu Immortal first imposed a restriction on Smiling Face, sealing his cultivation level, then took action against the cold-faced man.

The man didn’t dodge—useless, dodging wouldn’t save him, not dodging he might have a glimmer of vitality.

Seeing he didn’t resist, obediently having his cultivation sealed, Smiling Face let out a long breath, ”Can I bandage him up first?”

If Qu Jianlei were in charge, such requests wouldn’t be approved, but now the one making the decision was the female professor.

Her chin rose slightly, spoke blandly, ”Don’t play tricks, or else... you know the consequences!”

”How would I dare?” Smiling Face gave a bitter smile, but what everyone saw was still his cheerful face.

Xiang Xue saw this and couldn’t help but shake her head, ”This smile, really deceptive.”

Zi Jiu Immortal took advantage of the time during the bandaging to raise her watch and contact the academy.

The academy’s contact might have a lower cultivation level, but surely their skills in dealing with matters and information channels wouldn’t be weak.

Soon, they verified Smiling Face’s identity, named Gautro indeed belonged to Patrol Guards.

He had always been at Fengrao City’s Patrol Headquarters, once briefly served as a regional Patrol Captain, no issue with his level.

Besides, they sent over Gautro’s photo, the typical smiling face was highly recognizable.

Soon after, Di Yinyuan from the external affairs called Zi Jiu Immortal, asking if assistance was needed.

The female professor wasn’t one to take over everything, she preferred to follow procedures, saying you all come.

The academy team wanted to rush over, undoubtedly slower.

Especially knowing that the external school teacher who came to aid had already dealt with the crisis, the urgency wasn’t very strong.

So Qu Jianlei and the others had time to interrogate these two.

Smiling Face was very cooperative, directly stated he was once a comrade of Robin Hood’s uncle, had a good relationship.

His comrade was only C-level and was not local, so entrusted him to teach Panda a lesson.

Patrol Guards are responsible for city security, with numerous channels to observe any person.

Once Qu Jianlei and the others left the academy gate, he knew, and all the places they went afterwards didn’t escape his notice.

Just he found Panda always accompanied by those three B-level, really inconvenient to act.

Not until they were at the park relaxing did Smiling Face feel there may be an opportunity, so he rushed over.

As for who the cold-faced man was, he only knew the name was Cold Face, should also be found by his comrade.

Xiang Xue snorted coldly, ”A C-level commanding you two B-level, how rich is his family?”

Honestly, the situation is indeed unreasonable, the gap between B-level and C-level might not be a chasm, but the difference is vast.

But Smiling Face explained, in Robin Hood’s family, he’s the promising new talent everyone favors, family resources leaning toward him.

Anyway, his words mostly made sense, Zi Jiu Immortal turned to Cold Face, ”Tell me about your situation.”

Cold-faced man tightly shut his mouth, eyes unfocused, appearing indifferent to life and absolutely refusing to speak.

He understood clearly, once the academy takes over, he just needs to endure this period.

Qu Jianlei smiled slightly, strode forward and tore open the man’s bandaged wound.

Then he kicked the man down, stomped on his bloody left hand.

Immediately, his toes twisted twice, and the wound that had closed began bleeding profusely again.

Without any expression, he spoke, ”How did you carelessly fall? The wound was bandaged for nothing... Won’t you end up with two more wounds?”

The cold-faced man looked indifferently at him, while he also gazed calmly at the other, his eyes unwavering.

The two stared at each other for a full two minutes, with Qu Jianlei constantly pressing down with his foot.

The cold-faced man finally realized that the opponent wasn’t posing but genuinely disregarding life.

Only the same kind can understand each other; he could feel that the other person was of the same kind.

Although just a Modified Warrior, this one had such a bizarre Body Technique, and his nerve reflex speed was exceedingly fast.

He believed that with the other’s strength and an element of surprise, it wouldn’t be very difficult to kill a B-level Warrior.

Being targeted by such a person, even though he excelled in assassination, he couldn’t guarantee he would avoid the other’s schemes.

This small job was a big loss! For a moment, his heart was full of regret.

The information provided by Robin Hood was not wrong; the abilities shown by the opponent hadn’t exceeded the scope of a Modified Warrior.

But... it was outrageous! Which family’s Modified Warrior could be this strong?

The man also believed that in the vast Empire, nothing was impossible, yet he encountered such a super freak—who could he reason with?

Although extremely cold-hearted and cold-blooded, that was towards others’ lives; he still cherished his own life.

The key was dying over such a trivial matter, it’s not worth it.

He paused for a moment and spoke, ”I am Shrek from Blood Moon, accepted five B-level Crystals.”

”Five B-level...” Qu Jianlei’s mouth twitched slightly, was he looking up to me or looking down?

”Blood Moon Mercenary Corps?” Xiang Xue frowned slightly, ”Wasn’t this Mercenary Corps wiped out?”

She wasn’t unfamiliar with this Mercenary Corps; there were two Supremes inside that once wreaked havoc, daring to accept any job.

However, more than thirty years ago, Blood Moon hit the red line.

They helped a merchant recover goods, killed a group of people—the reason wasn’t too important as long as they paid.

Later, the Empire was enraged, realizing that the goods they robbed contained some official institute’s research materials.

The once rampant Blood Moon was thunderously struck down, ten years later, the commissioning merchant was also found and executed.

Xiang Xue naturally had an interest in history; such a big event, how could she not know?

”They were punished to join the war,” Shrek replied expressionlessly, ”I fought for thirty years to return.”

The Empire indeed wanted to severely punish Blood Moon, but on the other hand, Blood Moon was somewhat innocent in this matter.

They were purely set up!

Those who physically participated were all executed; there was no negotiation—they killed the officially hired Guard Team.

However, for mercenaries who didn’t participate, the endings differed.

After all, Superpower Warriors were too precious, and Blood Moon had many powerful Warriors; killing them all would be too wasteful.

Shrek’s killings weren’t few, but when he learned of the news, he was on a mission outside.

He neither participated nor resisted arrest, and once confirmed with the news, he voluntarily turned himself in.

Isn’t he a qualified killer? Not only cold but sufficiently calm, not assuming he could escape luck.

However, he didn’t disclose all these details; some things he understood privately.

Xiang Xue pondered for a while, frowned, and spoke, ”You’re still on the observation period list, right?”

Superpower Warriors who had committed crimes needed a few years of observation after redemption to prove genuine reform before regaining full freedom.

Committing crimes again during the observation period would result in severe punishment.

”Just passed, I turned myself in,” Shrek answered calmly, then added, thinking for a moment, ”So small a job...”

He truly felt aggrieved; had he known this job was such a trap, he wouldn’t have accepted it no matter what.

Suddenly, Aunt Liu asked, ”The two Supremes of Blood Moon... are they dead?”

Shrek remained expressionless, ”Information about the Supremes I don’t have, probably... you’ll never see them.”

Upon hearing this, Xiang Xue sneered, ”Then at most they’re just some A-level remnants; who gives you the guts to be so arrogant?”

Shrek remained silent, his face still calm, though his heart was stormy.

Daring to belittle A-level like this, doesn’t it imply... this woman has some connection with the Supremes?

A successful killer not only needs to control emotions but also be sufficiently sensitive and wise.

Considering the middle-aged woman’s reaction and combat style, he could almost conclude, she too was a cultivated killer.

Ordinary Superpower Warriors rarely grow naturally like this; they need systematic training.

This means... among the people he offended, there’s a force supported by Supremes?

No wonder at the beginning of contact, that B-level female Warrior with Water Attribute dared say, ”It concerns your life or death.”

At the time, he thought the opponent was arrogant because of numbers, but now looking back, he was utterly blind!
