Chapter 479: Chapter 479: The Strong Are Not Few_1

After taking down the Skynet organization’s headquarters, Zhang Xian quickly cleaned up the scene and escaped with the man in black.

After dismantling their lair, he had to escape quickly, otherwise the only thing waiting for them would be a group beating. In this information age, news spreads incredibly fast.

"Damn, today really felt like a dream."

Once they had gotten far away from the Skynet organization’s headquarters, the man in black paused, laughed, and said, "Bro, I gotta say, I admire your strength!"

"Well, I won’t deny that," Zhang Xian replied with a smile. "All right, now that everything’s been settled and you’ve got a murder on your hands, you better leave quickly! I’ll take care of the Skynet organization for you."

"Haha... alright..."

The man in black laughed heartily, "If anyone else made that claim, I wouldn’t believe it. But you, you’ve got the strength, I’m looking forward to your good news."

"Hmm... stay in touch..." Zhang Xian nodded.

The man in black nodded in response, put on his sunglasses and hat, then swiftly vanished down an alley.

"The matter here is finished, I guess I should return."

Lighting up a cigarette, Zhang Xian leisurely walked out of the alley. Mo Shaoyun, Nangong Wu, and Xiao Nan, were still hiding in Tiandu, afraid to come out, he had to resolve this issue quickly.

Even though the Cao Family had been taken care of by him and Skynet organization should not have any reason to target the Mo family, since they wouldn’t be getting paid anymore.

But, there are always exceptions. If the Skynet organization failed in every attempt to kill him, they might resort to dirty tricks and target those around him.

These days, there are hardly any heroic figures left.

"Huh? Why are you here?"

Suddenly, five beautiful figures approached from a distance. The beauty at the forefront looked at Zhang Xian surprised, and said, "You’re really everywhere, aren’t you?"

"Um... "

Zhang Xian, startled for a moment, laughed and asked, "What are you all doing here?"

Fei Fei pouted and said, "Are you blind? Can’t you see all the stuff in our hands? I really don’t know what you use your eyes for."

"Uh... "

Zhang Xian rubbed his nose and asked, "Are you guys on your way home, or still shopping?"

"Hmm, we’re still on the way, so..."

Fei Fei handed the bags in her hands to Zhang Xian and said, "You’ve now been conscripted by us, carry our stuff."

"Really?" asked Zhang Xian.

One of the beauties said, "Why not? Ordinary people would want to carry things for us, but we wouldn’t allow it! I think, you should feel honored, rather than looking unhappy."

Zhang Xian held his forehead, his face turning black. At this moment, he didn’t feel honored, rather a bit annoyed. He was just about to go back!

"Pfft..." Shi Yihan stifled a laugh upon seeing Zhang Xian’s frustrated face.

This guy, sometimes he’s too funny and doesn’t understand women’s minds. Generally, being too close to women might cause disgust, but not being close enough will make women unyielding.

The situation now was essentially this. The more Zhang Xian didn’t want to be with them, the more Fei Fei insisted on pulling him along.

This guy, why is he so unlucky? Look at that frustrated look on his face...

"What are you waiting for?"

Fei Fei nudged Zhang Xian and said, "Start walking! We still have a lot of stuff to buy, don’t dawdle around here, we’ll be late."

"All right!"

Out of options, Zhang Xian reluctantly picked up the bags and followed Fei Fei’s pace.

"Zhang Xian, is everything settled?"

Leng Shuang’er asked, "Don’t tell me, you really took down the Skynet organization’s headquarters?"

"You think I couldn’t?"

Zhang Xian replied, "But, I didn’t find anything useful. The leader of the Skynet organization and the three main operatives, remain a mystery. Without finding them, it is of no use."

"You..." Leng Shuang’er gasped, shocked.

This guy, did he really take down Skynet organization’s headquarters? Even though the headquarters did not have much significance, it was still the headquarters, right?

"By the way," Zhang Xian turned his head to look at Leng Shuang’er, and asked, "Are you familiar with the Snow Dragon Mercenary Organization?"

"No, and I don’t have the ability to investigate it at the moment."

Leng Shuang’er shook her head, looked at Zhang Xian and asked, "Are you really going to help me deal with the Snow Dragon Mercenary Organization? If they’re very powerful and you can’t withstand them, what will you do? It could be dangerous."

"Since I promised you, I’ll do everything in my power to do it, you can rest assured." Zhang Xian replied, "As for strength, as long as I’m determined, I believe there’s no power I can’t overturn. I’ll help you with your revenge."

Leng Shuang’er looked at Zhang Xian, lowered her head, and said no more.

But at this moment, she felt warm in her heart, it was very comforting. Since the death of her parents, this was the first time she felt warmth, her frozen heart seemed to be slightly thawed.

"What are you two doing?"

Shi Yihan asked curiously, "Is there something you can’t let us hear? Why are you whispering like you’re telling secrets?"

"Why are you so nosy?"

Zhang Xian said, "I’ll quietly tell you, this is a secret between her and me, and we can’t let the third person know, so stop asking, I won’t say anything."

"So stingy."

Shi Yihan pouted, "It’s not something scandalous, why won’t you tell me?"

"Not telling you is for your own good."

Leng Shuang’er said, "You should realize that Zhang Xian and I are not ordinary people, but ones with special identities. Therefore, it’s best not to inquire about our affairs."

"I see!"

After glancing at Zhang Xian, Shi Yihan asked, "Wouldn’t it be okay for you to reveal a little bit to me? Are you guys trying to keep your friend in the dark?"

Leng Shuang’er said, "I’m not quite sure about what Zhang Xian does, but I used to be an assassin, what comes after is uncertain."

"Wh... What?"

Shi Yihan widened her eyes, "You... you were an assassin?"

"Is that not allowed?" Leng Shuang’er asked.

Shi Yihan shook her head, "No... no... Just a bit surprised."

"Are you very scared?"

Leng Shuang’er said, "If you’re scared, you can keep your distance from me. I don’t mind it. My identity is special and might bring you ill luck."

"I don’t mean that!"

Shi Yihan said, "We are good friends, aren’t we?"

Leng Shuang’er nodded and didn’t say anything more.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Xian gave a bitter smile. The closeness between women seemed really intimate! They became good friends in just two days, which was a bit hard for him to understand.

"What about you?"

Shi Yihan turned to Zhang Xian, "Shuang’er has already shared, as a man, why are you being so secretive?"

"When did I ever hide anything?"

Zhang Xian said, "Didn’t I tell you before that I am unemployed?"

"Stop it..."

Zhang Xian chuckled bitterly, "I’m telling the truth, if you don’t believe it, I can’t help it. Speaking of work, I really don’t have any, I’ve been unemployed."

"Then what do you live off? Your family’s savings?" Shi Yihan asked.

Leng Shuang’er said, "He’s not a freeloader. He’s self-sufficient and never runs out. Although he’s young, he’s rich and quite famous in Tiandu."

"What do you mean?" Shi Yihan asked.

Leng Shuang’er said, "He runs a villa. Although it is somewhat unconventional, it has been successful and it makes great profits."

"A villa?"

Shi Yihan turned her head and stared angrily at Zhang Xian, "Didn’t you say you were jobless? Why did a villa suddenly come up? Doesn’t doing business count as work?"

"Well, that’s hard to say."

Zhang Xian said, "Although I established that villa, I truly haven’t managed it before, so I am not a businessman."

"Uh..."

Shi Yihan glared at Zhang Xian and decided not to bother with him anymore.

During their interactions, Zhang Xian never made her feel at ease, always leaving her shocked and making her feel suffocated. Even just now, when he could have clarified things, he chose to remain silent.

...

That night, in a hotel in Shoucheng, South Korea.

After taking a bath, Zhang Xian looked at Leng Shuang’er on the bed and asked, "I might go back to Tiandu tomorrow. Are you coming with me or will you stay here?"

"Why should I go with you?"

Leng Shuang’er said, "I still have many things to deal with. I don’t have time to spare."

"As you wish!"

Zhang Xian said, "However, I advise you not to mess with the Snow Dragon Mercenary Organization. Let me take care of that."

"Why do you want to help me?" Leng Shuang’er asked, confused.

Zhang Xian was startled, "I don’t know, maybe I don’t have a lot of friends! You know, making friends in this day and age is hard. There’s more scheming and strife, it doesn’t feel comfortable."

Leng Shuang’er nodded and remained silent.

She also didn’t have many friends, or it could be said that she had none at all. After all, she had been an assassin, so how could she make friends?

However, she didn’t like scheming and seldom peeked into other people’s affairs. This could be considered one of her merits. She believed that happiness was enough in life and one shouldn’t strive for too much.

"You didn’t answer my question."

Zhang Xian said, "Even if I don’t know the strength of the Snow Dragon Mercenary Organization, you, as a young girl, are not capable of taking them on. I remember my master once said that in the eyes of ordinary people, Inner Energy masters are considered supreme, and the Innate are very rare. However, in the real world of the powerful, those who have reached the peak are not a few, and they are in mercenary organizations."

"I know that, but I’m not very sure," said Leng Shuang’er.

Zhang Xian explained, "Inner Energy and Innate are divisions of martial artist realms in Huaxia. I’m different from ordinary people, but my power is similar to the Grandmaster Realm, which is higher than Innate. Above the Grandmaster Realm, there are super-powerful beings from the Legendary Realm. Such beings are much stronger than I am, you should know what that means?"

"What? There are people much stronger than you?" Leng Shuang’er suddenly sat up.

In her view, Zhang Xian was already very powerful. Although he might not be at the peak of this world, he wouldn’t be much weaker either. His strength could be described as terrifying.

Now, she had just learned that there were super-strong beings far beyond Zhang Xian in the mercenary organisation, and she was immediately disturbed.
