Chapter 125: 111 Descending Horse Power (4100)_1

Baichuan City, suburb, Zhangye Street

A black sedan parked on the side of the road, a tall youth dressed in a black trench coat descended from it. The golden sunlight bathed his body, the surface of the trench coat faintly reflecting light. The coat was quite oversized, yet the corners were held up by his strong, sturdy shoulders, like two tires. The white shirt beneath clung to his solid chest, accentuating the outline of his muscular physique.

The youth wore an expressionless face, giving off a cold, standoffish vibe. He surveyed the streets of suburban Baichuan City.

A pleasant voice emanated from within the car.

“BOSS, about a hundred meters forward along Zhangye Street is Bingnan Road. It leads to a residential area by the river, which is the meeting place of the Assassination Department. Someone should be there to meet you.”

“The senior level is having a meeting, and I can’t go. The car will remain here, you can come back directly after the meeting,” Violet said through the window to Casio.

“I understand,” Casio nodded slightly.

“Furthermore, this is your ID.” Violet tossed something over, and Casio caught it and took a look.

It was a paper poker card: the Jack of Diamonds.

“I’m going,” he declared.

Casio nonchalantly tucked the poker card into the pocket of his trench coat, and stepped forward along the sidewalk.

This area was almost beyond the urban zone, at a glance there weren’t any tall buildings, only low grey homes, some enclosed with courtyards, others surrounded by white wooden fences, with plants and trees planted within.

One could notice that many triangular flags were hung together from the windows of these houses. There were wooden candlesticks decorated with light chains, and ornaments themed after the birth of the Holy Spirit or animals in the forest. In the courtyard or inside the fenced areas, there was usually a large wooden basin placed in the center.

The basin was filled with rainwater from a few days ago.

This custom was related to the Saint Bath Festival that Casio had previously seen, bringing with it a certain religious tint. The wooden basin for collecting rainwater was prepared for the Saint Bath, where citizens would place a wooden basin outdoors on the day of the festival, waiting for the rain. Once the rainwater was collected in the basin, they would use it for the bathing ceremony.

Actually, the rainwater wasn’t very clean, and even the slightly educated populace knew it contained bacteria.

But festival customs are always ingrained in tradition.

Having walked past Zhangye Street, Casio turned around a corner and entered Bingnan Road. The number of people dwindled further here – it didn’t look like the city, but rather, like a small town.

The street was very spacious, with only a few occasional passersby.

He sauntered down the street and gradually came to a halt. In front of him was a white stone flower bed with a diameter of over three meters, connecting four paths from the front, back, left, and right. The flower bed was densely grown with wildflowers and weeds.

“Come out…” Casio suddenly said.

“Well done, you’re as remarkable as one expected from someone who’s stepping into the position of the Diamond Jack, you sensed my presence in an instant.” A voice came from behind the flower bed, followed by a man in a blue-and-white-striped jacket appearing. He lifted his head, focusing intently on Casio.

This man had slightly dark skin, and was of average appearance. He had profound features, a prominent hooked nose, and green eyes. What was most impressive was the slightly squinted look in his eyes. It felt like being pricked by a needle when his gaze fell on you.

“How did you detect me? Neither my breathing nor my heartbeat was noticeable, and I hadn’t even moved.”

The man stared at Casio. As an assassin from the Black Spade Assassination Department, he naturally had skills in covert operations. Mastering the Breath Holding Technique was crucial for conducting sneak assassinations more effectively.

However, just now, the Breath Holding Technique didn’t seem to work that well…

The tall and robust man standing before him, exuding an oppressive aura, was definitely not simple and could likely be a master of similar techniques!

“How did I sense you?”

Casio arched an eyebrow and emotionlessly responded, “Shadow.”

“Huh? What?” The Hawk-nose man paused in confusion.

“Your shadow, can’t you understand that?” Casio repeated.

Turning his gaze to the ground on his left, the Hawks McNose man indeed detected his protruding shadow. He was speechless on the spot. He had thought that his stealth technique was seen through and that the other party was an expert in this field, but he had simply committed a rookie mistake.

“So that’s how it was…” the Hawk-nose man’s green eyes flickered, “We’re running out of time. Let’s go, Mr. Wind Elephant.”

He immediately turned around, ready to lead Casio.

Suddenly.

The Hawk-nose man swiftly spun around to lunge at Casio, his right hand pulling out a sharp object for a stabbing motion.

From behind the flower bed, a petite figure sprang out from somewhere, rapidly aiming for Casio’s back.

In a split second, the two people hurriedly approached. Casio could even see the excitement in the Hawk-nose man’s green eyes.

Thump! Thump!

Two muffled sounds echoed as two bodies – one in front and one at the back – fell to the ground. Casio rotated his wrist with an expressionless face. In just an instant, he punched the Hawk-nose man’s shoulder and swiftly whipped around to take down the other attacker.

For Casio, who possesses an inhumanly quick reaction speed, the assailants’ attacks were child’s play.

Could he, who could even dodge bullets, not evade the attacks of mere flesh and blood?

He looked down only to see the sharp object in the Hawk-nose man’s hand dropped on the floor. It was a black plastic dagger.
