Peeping Tom Carlos (Seeking Collections and Recommendation Tickets)

Zhou Yi watched the man before him, the corner of his eye twitching slightly.

It wasn't for any other reason than that even Zhou Yi was a little surprised by how quickly the man had found him.

This efficiency made Zhou Yi think it was entirely possible the man had set up over a dozen surveillance points around Wesley, watching him at all times.

That's right, the man holding a gun and showing up at his door was precisely the person Zhou Yi wanted to find. Carlos, the top assassin of the Assassin Alliance, codenamed "Cross"! Wesley's father!

"You came really fast, Carlos," Zhou Yi said slowly as he backed away.

"I thought I'd have to keep this up for several days, make a few more appearances, before you'd come looking for me, so... are you really keeping an eye on Wesley all the time?"

"You really are after Wesley!" Carlos advanced as Zhou Yi retreated, entering the room and closing the door. He asked in a deep voice, "Who are you, who sent you, and what do you want?!"

"Don't get agitated, I'm not after Wesley," Zhou Yi spread his hands. "I'm after you, but you're too hard to find. So, I just needed to find Wesley, and naturally, you'd come looking for me."

"Very well, then now you've successfully found me," Carlos said, gripping the gun in his hand. "Speak, why are you looking for me?"

"Calm down, I told you, calm down," Zhou Yi pressed his palm down. "I'm not looking for you for anything bad, so there's no need to point a gun at me."

"Words are cheap," Carlos wouldn't believe Zhou Yi so easily.

"Sigh... alright," Zhou Yi sighed. "Friendly communication requires both parties to be on equal footing. It seems I have to show you something."

"Then you'd better be careful," Carlos shifted the muzzle of his gun. "My gun is much faster than you think."

"That sentence reminds me of someone," Zhou Yi chuckled softly. "He said the same thing before, but... do you know what happened to him now?"

"I don't need to know," Carlos entered combat mode, which was essentially his "Assassin Bloodline." "He's definitely not as fast as me."

"Yes, you're right, he's definitely not as fast as you," Zhou Yi nodded. "But..."

Before he could finish speaking, Zhou Yi exerted force with his feet, the immense power directly creating a small crater in the marble floor!

"Bang!" Carlos fired.

The bullet, illuminated by the light, revealed a pale yellow hue. As it spun, it stirred the air, emitting a sonic boom.

When fired from different guns by different people, bullets could yield different results.

And fired from the modified handgun held by the assassin master Carlos, this bullet could have taken one, or even several, lives.

But now.

The moment it left the barrel, its target was Zhou Yi.

Thus, it was destined that it would fail to achieve its objective.

The bullet slowed to an unimaginable degree within Zhou Yi's vision.

And Zhou Yi's body was equally capable of supporting him in making movements even faster than this bullet.

Therefore, before the bullet could reach where Zhou Yi had originally been, the reactive force from the ground had already propelled Zhou Yi's entire body, allowing him to arrive at the spot from which it had departed.

Effortlessly disarming Carlos, Zhou Yi stood behind him. Only then did the bullet Carlos had fired hit the wall.

It wasn't a complete waste, at least it hit something.

"But..." Zhou Yi said faintly, his back to Carlos, examining the patterns on the handgun he had just taken. "You're definitely not as fast as me either."

"You... who are you?" Carlos dared not move rashly.

This was the first time he had experienced something like this, something so bizarre.

As an assassin master, in addition to essential combat skills and gun fu, Carlos's Assassin Bloodline was naturally very strong, allowing him to easily accomplish things beyond the reach of ordinary people.

However, Carlos could say that what Zhou Yi had just done completely exceeded his limits of imagination.

Kicking a small crater into the marble floor, moving fast enough to dodge a bullet fired from a modified handgun within half a meter, and all while moving behind him at a speed that even his activated Assassin Bloodline couldn't perceive.

Carlos directly abandoned any thought of continuing the fight. He knew himself well enough to realize that he truly couldn't defeat this person, Zhou Yi.

Moreover, as Zhou Yi had said earlier, he wasn't looking for Carlos for a bad reason. Now, having the ability to kill Carlos but choosing not to, greatly increased the credibility of Zhou Yi's words for Carlos.

"It seems we can finally have a normal conversation," Zhou Yi tossed the gun back to Carlos. "Nice gun, modified?"

"Yes, the bullets are faster, more penetrating, and fly further," Carlos introduced instinctively, but quickly remembered how Zhou Yi had just dodged a bullet without breaking a sweat, and felt a bit awkward.

"Putting aside everything else, you people are indeed skilled when it comes to modifying guns and bullets," Zhou Yi said, recalling the two scenes of ultra-long-range pinpoint sniping from the movie, and couldn't help but feel impressed.

A gun fu technique involving a flick of the wrist to curve a bullet, and ultra-long-range pinpoint sniping – these were the two most scientifically improbable aspects of that movie.

"You just said, 'you people'?" Carlos seized on the information revealed in Zhou Yi's words.

"Yes, you people, your Assassin Brotherhood," Zhou Yi nodded. "I'm looking for you because of the Assassin Brotherhood."

"You... want to join?" Carlos guessed.

"No," Zhou Yi denied, correcting him. "I want to take it down."

Carlos: "???!!!"

"You want to destroy the Assassin Brotherhood?"

"Yes."

"And then you came looking for me?"

"That's right."

"You should know who I am, right? I mean, my identity?"

"Of course, I do. The strongest assassin in the Assassin Brotherhood, codenamed 'Cross.' And you have a peeping problem..."

"Stop, stop, stop!" Carlos quickly interrupted. "When did I ever have a peeping problem? I admit you're strong, but you can't just say whatever you want!"

"Oh, really? So you're not a pervert?"

"Of course not!"

"Then why is it that every time I just walk around Wesley's house a couple of times and glance a few times, you show up at my door?"

"He's my son! I'm just showing him appropriate concern!"

"Your so-called 'appropriate concern' involves using a telescope from less than twenty meters away?"

"I didn't, I wasn't, don't spout nonsense!"

"Mhm, okay, okay, if you say so," Zhou Yi waved his hand, adopting an air of magnanimous indulgence, pretending to believe Carlos's nonsense. "Let's get back to business. You know, the Templar Knights?"

Ura! Prepare for a major showdown! The glory of the Templar Knights will soon be rekindled in this world overrun by assassins!
