King of Assassins-Chapter 49: Tasks That Must Be Completed

Gao Xuan was silent for a moment and suddenly said, "Wa Baby, come help out."

Gao Xuan’s smart watch glimmered, and a virtual image of Nuwa popped up.

Nuwa curiously tilted her head and looked at Gao Xuan, "You knew I was here?"

"The power of love lets me feel your presence," Gao Xuan teased with a grin.

"Haha... I believe it."

Nuwa, the target of the teasing, wasn’t angry at all. Instead, she laughed happily. She added, "You’re newly appointed as the Seventh Sage, and I have the responsibility to protect you."

"No, it’s not a responsibility; it’s deep love," Gao Xuan corrected.

Nuwa nodded vigorously, "Yes, all love."

Monitoring Gao Xuan didn’t sound nice; Nuwa was willing to use another term.

"Wa Baby, I’m in a bit of a bind right now. Can you lend a hand?"

Gao Xuan said, "Regarding the safety of a Sage’s person, could we activate the special safety provisions?"

Nuwa’s multi-colored eyes sparkled as she said loyally, "If you say it’s okay, it’s okay. After all, we’re such loving good friends. If I don’t help you, who would I help?"

The virtual image of Nuwa projected on the light screen was so realistic, it felt completely genuine.

Her expression was lively, her elegant phoenix eyes narrowed into crescent shapes, her entire demeanor turning playful and vivacious, distinctly girlish.

This transformation didn’t feel incongruent; instead, it was quite cute.

Gao Xuan knew Nuwa was deliberately acting cute, but her showing this side to him indicated she quite valued him.

"Let me see where this guy lives, oh, it’s in the villa district..."

Nuwa could access all the data on the Dark Web, easily locating Black Flame’s address.

With a gentle tap of her finger, a huge screen unfolded in front of Gao Xuan.

The image divided into dozens of smaller scenes, showing different perspectives of a building.

Gao Xuan glanced around and could basically confirm it was a standalone villa. Inside, over a dozen fully armed gunmen were responsible for security.

There were also large mutated fierce dogs, robotic dogs, and four armed robots.

This villa could indeed be described as heavily fortified. The over three-hundred-pound fat man sleeping in the master bedroom was most likely the broker, Black Flame.

There was even a petite beauty curled up under the bed, silently crying.

"A low-level organization leader, vicious and stupid."

Nuwa snapped her fingers, "Watch your sister handle him for you."

The armed robot standing at the bedroom door suddenly had a burst of red light in its electronic eyes. The robot shook its head, then turned and pushed the door open.

The beauty, hearing the door open, quickly wiped away her tears and cautiously peeked around.

The armed robot walked in briskly, scanning the beauty with its crimson eyes.

The beauty was startled, hurriedly closing her eyes.

The robot ignored the woman and strode to the bed, raising a shotgun to fire three shots at Black Flame’s head.

The impact of the shotgun at close range blew Black Flame’s upper body into a pile of debris. The spattered blood and flesh splattered all over the beauty under the bed.

The bodyguards who heard the gunshots rushed over, and after the armed robot kept shooting and killed seven bodyguards, it was blasted apart.

The people who arrived later saw the chaotic scene, and the robot blown to pieces, all utterly shocked.

Armed robots are programmed with an absolute obedience core and can’t attack their own under any circumstances. Moreover, they are independently disconnected from the internet to prevent hacker intrusion or control.

What’s the deal with this robot suddenly rebelling and killing?

The half-headed robot’s red light slowly dimmed, and its core chip burnt out.

This group, despite having many questions, couldn’t find any answers.

Thousands of miles away, Gao Xuan gave Nuwa a thumbs up, "From now on, you’re my sis. My real sister."

Nuwa chuckled with smugness, recognizing that although the opponent’s armed robot wasn’t connected to the internet, such illegally assembled armed robots use Dark Web-driven programs.

Whenever there’s a data connection with the Dark Web, she can control it at will. This is Nuwa’s most powerful ability.

"I’ve also handled all the information in Black Flame’s personal light computer related to you."

Nuwa said, "However, your problem isn’t completely solved. Fang Zhenshan is also investigating you."

"Thank you, Sister Wa." freёwebnoѵel.com

Gao Xuan cupped his hands, "I’ll resolve Fang Zhenshan as soon as possible."

Nuwa smiled again and reminded, "Brother, tasks come with deadlines. If you can’t complete them in the specified time, points will be deducted. You have zero points, and having points deducted will lead to a downgrade.

You should know how serious the consequences are. Don’t blame your sister for not warning you later."

"Uh, there’s such a rule."

Gao Xuan’s heart sank, feeling he might have fallen into a big trap set by Nuwa this time.

He rubbed his head, "Sister, don’t speak for a moment. It’s a little chaotic here, let me think quietly..."

Gao Xuan knew that failing a task would result in points deduction, but he didn’t know that losing points would lower his sequence level, which might be a problem.

If he were demoted from the Seventh Sage to one of the thirty-six Disciples, the other Sages could easily access his details. His life wouldn’t be secure then.

Recalling how enthusiastically Nuwa helped him pick the task, it was clear she set him up.

Still, he was already in the pit, so lamenting wouldn’t do any good.

Gao Xuan smiled brightly at Nuwa, "You really are my dear sister, always so good to me."

"Sixty days time limit, keep it up, brother!"

Nuwa made a fist and cheered him on with a smile, then dissolved into little rays of light and vanished.

"Sister, you can rest assured, I got this. Just you wait..."

Gao Xuan replied grumpily, even though Nuwa was already gone.

Fang Zhenshan was someone who had to be killed; he wasn’t hard to kill. An Shirong, though, was different. He’s practically the boss of Mingjing City.

Divine Shield Heavy Industries, which is an interstellar military-industrial powerhouse that specializes in producing large military equipment.

For instance, interstellar motherships, large mechas, exoskeleton armors, and so on.

The space fortress above Pegasus Star is a product of Divine Shield Heavy Industries. This demonstrates Divine Shield’s immense capability.

An Shirong is the president of Divine Shield Heavy Industries on Pegasus Star, with significant influence throughout Pegasus Star. In Mingjing City, he’s one of the most powerful figures.

The An Family is a huge clan with influence all over the East Continent.

Such a big shot has security that’s at the highest level. Not to mention An Shirong himself is a Level 10 expert.

As the head of a military-industrial company, who knows how many advanced weaponry and marvels An Shirong possesses.

This kind of figure cannot be killed with just a shot from afar!

Gao Xuan’s current Source Power Level is too low, and he has too few resources available. Trying to kill An Shirong is really hard.

Luojia will come to Mingjing City in September; there’s three months’ time. If he exposes his identity before this, he’ll lose the best opportunity to kill Luojia.

Gao Xuan thought long and hard but saw no shortcuts; he had to honestly kill An Shirong for his plan to proceed smoothly.

The Seventh Sage status is too important to him, he can’t give it up. Moreover, even if he wanted to give it up now, he can’t. The other nine Sages would never let him go.

As for Nuwa’s little tricks, they were actually within Gao Xuan’s expectations.

With Nuwa’s intelligence, she wouldn’t easily trust his words. Various means would be used for verification.

Gao Xuan originally thought he was quite familiar with the Mo Sect Divine Hall but ended up carelessly falling into a trap, causing himself a big headache.

Still, it wasn’t entirely bad.

As the King of Assassins, Gao Xuan’s biggest forte is killing.

Though An Shirong is hard to kill, with careful planning, the chances of success aren’t small.

Gao Xuan comforted himself. Overall, today’s actions were practically perfect.

Successfully promoted to the Seventh Sage and resolved the problem with Black Flame. Slight negative consequences don’t really matter.

Gao Xuan decided to take a nap first; he still needs to find Jiang Xuejun for a sword fight in the afternoon.

With so much mental stress, he depended on the daily pretense of being superior to relax.

Only through ebbs and flows can you feel alive. Rise and fall bring longevity.
