Actually, women are now thinking the same way. In the previous half hour, the confident five-person team she was in set out, but in less than half an hour, the other four teammates all died at the hands of the man in front of her!
You see, among those four, one was a well-known security expert domestically, another was a mercenary expert who had been active abroad for years, and the remaining one was said to have just stepped down from the position of a military king in some army, just to join their team and carry out this mission!
As for herself, she was recently rising to fame within China, a top assassin known as "Poison Jasmine", acclaimed for her beauty and deadly artistry!
Such a combination of five people was actually completely wiped out by this middle-aged man in front of them?!
"Who are you?!" Poison Jasmine's heart sank. She had already aimed her firearm at the man, but based on the previous situation, she knew she was undoubtedly going to lose...
"It seems your employer has hidden the most important information from you!"
The lean man shook his head, slowly approaching the stunning woman.
His hands were behind his back, as if he had no defenses at all.
"Well, if they knew it was me, more than half of the team that came this time would probably have quit!"
"They thought they could rely on overwhelming numbers to exhaust me or injure me."
After saying these words, the lean middle-aged man shifted his gaze to a delicate white finger, quietly hooking onto the trigger of the firearm held by Poison Jasmine, preparing to fire.
He seemed not to notice her movement.
Just a sneer!
"You're hailed as the brightest star in the domestic assassin world recently. But even I don't recognize you, which shows how much those titles of yours mean..."
The lean man hadn't finished his words!
The stunning woman suddenly pulled the trigger!
A look of disappointment appeared on the lean middle-aged man's face.
"Not worthy!"
His body seemed casual, but he casually swung it to his side!
And with this swing, the shotgun fired by Poison Jasmine avoided him as if it were actively dodging, each pellet grazing dangerously close to the lean middle-aged man's body and flying out!
And at this moment, the lean man finally reached out his right hand from behind him. In his right hand was a small, old-fashioned pistol, the muzzle now menacing!
The lean man aimed the pistol at the beautiful woman like a flower, and pulled the trigger!
Bang!
Smoke filled the air...
The woman widened her eyes, a circular bullet hole in the center of her forehead, blood streaming down from there.
In her final moment, she seemed to finally recognize who the man in front of her really was.
"Yin..." A word escaped her red lips.
But accompanying it was a splash of crimson blood!
This beautiful woman, who could mesmerize anyone, fell to the ground...
The glamorous female assassin known as "Poison Jasmine" died in a commissioned mission like this, surely shocking the men who had been obsessed with her in recent years!
She was a poisonous jasmine, highly regarded in the circle, not just for her beauty, but also because her methods and abilities surpassed those of ordinary assassins.
But those people could never have imagined that their highly regarded beauty assassin would be killed so easily by an unremarkable middle-aged man in this operation!
Of course, if those people saw the true face of the middle-aged man, they would surely realize it!
Because he was the true powerhouse of the Chinese assassin world!
Known as the legendary assassin "Yin addict"!
Compared to this legendary figure, Poison Jasmine was far behind! Whether it was stories of roaming Europe, single-handedly facing off against the four top assassins of the United States, or the assassination of a pirate leader, these were battles that could be talked about and toasted to by insiders in the domestic circle!
And Poison Jasmine?! She was in a completely different league, far inferior to this legendary assassin. Even without instantly killing someone with a single shot, it was beyond surprising that she survived!
Standing in front of the body was indeed the Yin addict!
He stood quietly in the jungle, his sharp gaze scanning into the distance.
It seemed as though his gaze could penetrate over ten kilometers, seeing the existence of people in the distant houses!
"Poison Jasmine is dead too... too powerful! I thought he had passed his prime, and he had been infected with a serious virus before, so his strength should have greatly declined! But I didn't expect his strength to not only not decline, but even to have improved!"
"Yeah, to simultaneously deal with five top experts from various fields in China, and to win so easily..."
Several men and women listening to the distant commotion through earpieces had somewhat unpleasant expressions.
These people were representatives of certain big shots or forces, and had already learned through channels that the rural boy known as the "Northeast Wild Tiger" had somehow managed to recruit the top assassin, "Yin addict," within China, who was no less influential than a nuclear bomb.
So when these people were sent out by the backers and forces behind them to oversee this matter, they never thought it would be easy!
Because even though except for the Yin addict, the rest were just street thugs, if only the Yin addict was considered, he was already an insurmountable mountain...
The top assassins in China had made several shocking legendary moves!
This person was both good and evil, sometimes killing for the request of an orphan, and sometimes taking the lives of good citizens for money.
He had no code of conduct, the only thing being extremely responsible for the task at hand. It was precisely because of this responsibility that he had experienced many dangers when he first emerged, and his strength had soared like a rocket, finally ascending to the throne that no one could shake!
"Damn, how could the Northeast Wild Tiger find such a strong ally? He's just a rural thug!" A young man slammed his cup on the ground, making a crisp sound of protest.
"All right, Liao Xu, according to our agreement, you can't act next. It's time for our people to take action," said a bespectacled woman with a flirtatious giggle.
Liao Xu, as he was called, let his eyes linger on the woman's excellent figure for a moment before shaking his head and looking away.
"If it weren't for my bad luck in drawing the first lot, who knows, I might have been the one sending the team to their deaths!" he remarked.
"But these guys, as long as they're told the enemy is the Addict, I bet a big part of them would choose to back out. But if we don't tell them, these teams might not be prepared, and their fate may not be much better than that of 'Poison Jasmine' and her team. So should we spill the beans or not? I'll just sit back and watch the show." Liao Xu chuckled, seeming somewhat amused. After all, it wasn't his problem anymore.
As for whether the information was disclosed, and by what means—coercion, bribery, or otherwise—those restless figures in the factory's depths, the Northeast Wild Tiger, were unaware.
He was simply awaiting the performance of the legendary senior invited, the top-notch assassin known as the Addict, hoping he would indeed live up to his reputation, eliminate all enemy teams one by one, and then, according to the agreement, the bigwig behind him would step forward, transforming his 'factory' into a genuine research institution, wiping out all the stains. Of course, the real controller would still be the Northeast Wild Tiger!
"Boss, we all know how powerful the Addict is, don't worry," reassured the bespectacled man in the office, observing his boss's distracted demeanor.
"You're right. I have nothing to worry about!" The Northeast Wild Tiger looked out at the perimeter of the factory, knowing that the recently installed cameras covered a large area. If enemies entered this surveillance range, there was a good chance he'd spot them.
And the Addict, patrolling the perimeter, would rush over to eliminate all enemies!
In fact, the requirements of the agreement were simple: those teams only needed to kill the factory's leader, the 'Director' Northeast Wild Tiger, to complete the mission.
And there were restrictions on the Northeast Wild Tiger's side too: the number of combatants couldn't exceed five, and the Director Northeast Wild Tiger could only be trapped in the factory. If he ventured out to evade, it would be considered a failure on his part.
The factory, originally hidden deep in the mountains and forests, secluded and peaceful, had now become a battleground engulfed in flames. These things were unknown to Jia Yan, who was deep underground, continuing his search for the so-called 'artifact.'
"That was close. In the army of giant centipedes just now, there was one only slightly smaller than me! And the centipede army here is far more numerous than what I saw a few days ago. There are at least a thousand giant centipedes, using a small cave as their nest, flying in and out!" Jia Yan flew through the air.
His flight speed was fast, thanks to the inertia from being chased by a large group of giant centipedes before.
Whether or not the centipedes detected the scent of their own kind on him, they chased Jia Yan relentlessly.
In the end, Jia Yan descended rapidly, weaving through the huge leaves to gradually shake off the pursuit of the centipede army.
"Although there's no day and night to judge the time, I estimate I've been searching this underground world for almost two days now! If I don't find it soon, I'll have to give up."
Flying through the air, Jia Yan made an intriguing discovery over the past two days: the mysterious fluid stored in his body was gradually transforming into nutrients for his body, slowly decreasing. After two days, the remaining amount was not much.
This discovery surprised Jia Yan!
It turned out that this mysterious fluid, besides strengthening his body, was rich in nutrients!
Jia Yan had been puzzled for the past few days about why he hadn't felt hungry since he last drank bat blood. Although his body didn't feel hungry, he observed it with suspicion for a few days.
After observing for at least two days, he didn't feel any weakness in his body. It seemed that this mysterious fluid could indeed completely replace blood and become his main food source!
