Chapter 17: Eat My Shotgun
Professional!
Back in the warehouse, Fu Qian was still savoring the assassination operation.
The planner was clearly a professional, with every step meticulously linked.
First, they hypnotized the maid by the target's side and attempted to poison him, aiming for a silent, undetectable kill.
If that failed, Transcendent ambushed outside served as a backup, using the maid to pinpoint the location for a swift, fatal strike.
It was truly not easy for Miss Wen to survive!
[Sanity Value -1, entering Containment Scene]
Fu Qian sighed and touched the Mist Door again.
This time, he repeated his previous tactic, breaking a stone pillar and blending into the crowd to enter the villa.
Kicking the door open again, Wen Li was indeed still drinking soup.
"Shut up!"
Fu Qian roared, and with another Air Bullet, he blew up the bowl in Wen Li's hand, drenching Miss Wen from head to toe.
As for the maid named Fang Ting, Fu Qian still didn't choose to kill her directly. Instead, he let her be controlled by Wen Xiuxian's subordinates once more.
What if this woman died directly and the people outside slipped away?
He was still waiting for the attack from outside.
To make the Stone Giant attack at the same time and from the same direction, he had even chosen the same pillar to kick.
Now, everything was proceeding according to script.
Fu Qian silently counted the time.
"Why? Who sent you?"
"I don't know... I really didn't..."
Wen Xiuxian and the maid reached the death dialogue stage again. With a howl, as the maid lunged at Wen Li, Fu Qian made his move.
He rushed forward before the middle-aged man surnamed Ji, kicking Wen Li flying into a corner.
"How dare you!"
Father Wen's eyes split with rage. He roared and rushed to the fallen Wen Li's side.
The middle-aged man surnamed Ji arrived at this moment, silently throwing a punch at Fu Qian.
This was more like it, much better than that non-mainstream Little Wolf Girl.
Although it looked ordinary, the force of the middle-aged man's blow was far beyond that of the person holding the blade between their fingers.
Fu Qian didn't dodge or evade. He met the opponent's punch without hesitation.
A fierce force surged through him, making Fu Qian's body tremble, his arm aching faintly.
Interesting, this was the first character who could make him lose health.
Of course, the middle-aged man surnamed Ji fared even worse. The immense power from the clash forced him back three steps, a flush rising on his face. He appeared to be injured.
Unable to hide his shock, the middle-aged man was about to say something when, the next moment, a huge roar echoed. A white stone pillar pierced the wall, smashing into the spot where Wen Li had been standing.
Gravel flew everywhere, and dust billowed.
Wen Xiuxian, who had been roaring while holding Wen Li, fell silent. He stared blankly at the stone pillar embedded in the floor.
If he had been a moment slower, Wen Li would have been utterly annihilated.
"This is..."
Fu Qian ignored the bewildered father and grabbed the stone pillar.
The quality was truly excellent; it didn't even have a crack after such abuse.
While praising it, he took a deep breath.
The next moment, Fu Qian exerted all his strength and yanked the stone pillar out of the wall.
Under the horrified gazes of everyone around, Fu Qian struck a dashing pose and flung the stone pillar back the way it came.
The stone pillar transformed into a javelin once more, instantly traversing dozens of meters.
Outside the villa, the Stone Giant was performing a "pain-immune" technique. A violent gust of wind arrived, and he was horrified to find the stone pillar he had thrown flying back at him.
His rock-covered body had formidable defenses, but the downside was a lack of agility.
Even though he dodged with all his might, his right leg was solidly struck and smashed into two pieces.
Amidst the flying debris, red, the symbol of blood, finally splattered out.
The Stone Giant crashed down, falling heavily to the ground.
At the same time, along with the stone pillar he had thrown, Fu Qian jumped out through the large hole in the wall.
It seemed to sense danger.
Although one leg was shattered, the Stone Giant hadn't completely lost its combat ability. With a muffled roar, it grabbed a car and smashed it fiercely against another stone pillar.
The stone pillar instantly broke into several pieces, and the luxury car was completely totaled.
This looks a bit familiar!
Taking a closer look, that seemed to be Young Master Ye's car.
This car has had a rough life. Didn't the Little Wolf Girl wreck it last time?
Crackling.
The stone fragments scattered on the ground seemed to come alive, quickly gathering at the Stone Giant's leg.
A strangely shaped new leg rapidly formed. The stone man, barely regaining its mobility, struggled to its feet and ran towards the lake.
Trying to escape?
Fu Qian, who had chased after it, kicked another nearby stone pillar and flung it like a javelin.
BOOM!
The ensuing scene was quite brutal.
The flying javelin struck the Stone Giant squarely in the back. Under the immense impact, it was directly smashed to the ground, completely losing its ability to move.
A sound of cracking rock followed as the stone plates attached to the Stone Giant peeled off, revealing a naked man wearing only underwear.
The naked man lay on the ground, clearly unconscious.
The bodyguards closest to him immediately surrounded him.
Fu Qian didn't join the commotion; he even put down the other stone pillar he was holding.
His intuition told him it wouldn't be that simple.
The next moment, a loud explosion erupted from flat ground, and the group of bodyguards surrounding the naked man all collapsed, clutching their heads.
The only one still standing helped up the unconscious naked man and plunged into the water.
As expected, there was a helper, and they had been mixed in with the bodyguards all along.
"Who exactly are you, and what is going on?"
Wen Xiuxian and his group finally caught up.
After all, he was a significant figure. The initial shock was gone now, and he looked at Fu Qian, speaking in a deep voice.
Fu Qian glanced behind Wen Xiuxian. The middle-aged man surnamed Ji was shielding Wen Li and Young Master Ye.
He had some sense, knowing to keep them together now to avoid a diversion.
Aside from a pale complexion, Miss Wen seemed unharmed.
Although that kick looked brutal, Fu Qian had carefully controlled the force, considering Miss Wen's physical condition.
He would never have kicked her to death like that; it would have at most broken a leg.
"Is this how you treat the savior of your daughter?"
Facing Wen Xiuxian's question, Fu Qian snorted and stood with his hands behind his back.
This was an undeniable fact. Wen Xiuxian's expression shifted multiple times before he finally sighed and thanked Fu Qian earnestly.
"You're welcome. I was merely acting on someone's behalf; someone didn't want her to die."
Fu Qian laughed heartily, adopting an air of a wise elder.
Acting on someone's behalf?
Wen Xiuxian's eyebrows twitched, his eyes filled with uncertainty.
"May I ask who?"
There!
Fu Qian pointed at Captain Gu.
It was him.
"I am an elite member of Captain Gu's team."
"This person's origins are unknown; we can't trust him."
Not only was Wen Xiuxian dumbfounded, but Young Master Ye couldn't hold back either. He stepped forward, trying to assert his presence.
"The attacker just fell, yet he let him go. Perhaps they were in cahoots, putting on a show."
"Heaven cherishes life; I, Fu, do not wish to commit unnecessary slaughter."
Fu Qian sneered and bluffed.
In reality, he hadn't really intended to pursue the attacker just now.
The existence of assassins was what made someone like him valuable; his mission was to ensure he leveled up, not just to survive. If he had killed the attacker, someone as cunning as Wen Xiuxian would likely have had countless ideas instantly.
As for why he had acted so ruthlessly if he didn't want to kill? That guy had cost him 1 point of Sanity Value, making him deserving of death a thousand times over.
"I believe him."
A weak voice chimed in at this moment. The genius girl Wen Li spoke for the first time.
