Killer

"Miss Lazuli, this is a welcome dinner I've prepared especially for you. I hope you enjoy it."

Inside the luxurious castle, Guweisha sat at one end of the banquet table, raising his wine glass to Android 18, then downing it in one gulp with a sound of pleasure and enjoyment.

The Lannaian are renowned throughout the universe for their wealth; they know how to enjoy life to the fullest, and their food and clothing are even more luxurious than those of ancient emperors.

The feast that Guweisha prepared for Android 18 was quite extravagant. Every ingredient on the table came from a different planet and was only allowed to be served after being selected through multiple rounds of screening. For example, the lobster-like crustacean placed in front of Android 18 was a specialty of one of Guweisha's aquatic planets.

After being captured, it is preserved using state-of-the-art cold chain technology and sent over a long distance.

The ingredients are good, but they lack the color, aroma, and flavor of good food.

Looking at the faint dark red color floating at the bottom of the pot, Android 18 frowned, feeling a bit nauseous. "Have you ever seen anyone eat food that looks like the disgusting color at the bottom of a pot?"

"Can this be eaten?" Android 18 asked with a look of disgust, picking up a piece of shrimp meat with his fingers.

"Why can't we eat it? This is Giant Pincer Shrimp, famous throughout the universe, and it tastes delicious!"

Guweisha asked in confusion, then started eating Future Trunks, taking bites of shrimp and sips of red wine. In the blink of an eye, half of a Giant Pincer Shrimp was gone.

Seeing Guweisha wolfing down the food as if it were delicious, Android 18 put a piece of crayfish meat into his mouth, chewed a few times, and found the taste to be just average, not as delicious as he had imagined, but barely enough to fill his stomach.

"Haha, how is it? Not bad, right? This is a specialty from my private aquatic planet. Every single one is carefully selected. It's a hot commodity in the universe. When Roland and Queen Sephi visited, this was the same thing they were served. They both loved it." Guweisha boasted proudly.

"The taste was so-so, but better than the other dishes."

Lazuli touched her lips with an elegant napkin and spoke calmly.

"Miss Lazuli has quite the discerning palate."

Guweisha certainly didn't believe that the other party wouldn't feel any excitement after eating such delicious food. He thought to himself that Roland's disciple was really aloof, deliberately putting on an indifferent expression even though he was eating something he liked.

"..."

Seeing Guweisha's smug look, Android 18 shook his head, wondering what he was so proud of, and decided to ignore him and focus on filling his stomach first.

The food popular among aliens is certainly not comparable to the delicacies of Earth and the Planet Sadala; for her, it's merely something she can eat.

High-end food emphasizes color, aroma, and taste; currently, these only barely meet the standard in terms of taste, failing to even reach the passing grade in terms of color and aroma. However, after traveling in space for many days, she has a general understanding of the external situation. Leaving aside the technological aspects for the time being, in terms of food, Earth has already left other planets far behind.

After the banquet, led by the Smart Robot, Android 18 arrived at the room that Guweisha had prepared for her.

As always, it's excessively luxurious, with every piece of furniture exuding extravagance inside and out.

"Miss Lazuli, this is the room I prepared for you. It has an independent heating system, and the balcony faces the sea, where you can enjoy the warmth of the sun in winter. There is an outdoor swimming pool on the rooftop, with triple-filtered water. There are also hot springs and a playground. Of course, I have also prepared a training room for you as you wish."

Please take good care of me for the next month.

Guweisha was very polite, but from then on, his life and fortune would depend on the other party.

"Yes, I'm quite satisfied with the environment here. I'll take good care of you from now on."

Android 18 smiled and nodded, quite satisfied with Guweisha's arrangements. Although this nouveau riche was not good-looking, he was very generous.

"I'm glad Miss Lazuli is satisfied."

Guweisha smiled easily. "If you need anything, just tell the intelligent servant, and it will fulfill all your requests."

"Um."

After Guweisha left, Android 18 lay down on the soft bed, spreading her arms wide in complete relaxation. Then she quickly rolled over, opened the metal box Guweisha had given her, poured out the Xijin inside, and started counting them one by one.

"1, 2, 3, 4... 500 sticks."

"This is the deposit for the task. I'll receive another commission after the task is completed. Hehe, 1200 Xijin is pretty easy to earn."

Android 18 put away all the Xijin with satisfaction, then stretched, took off his shirt, changed into a bath towel, and went to soak in the hot spring.

Knock knock knock!

In the darkness, several figures stealthily entered Guweisha's castle, but before they could make their move, a rumbling sound rang out.

Accompanied by dazzling light, several crimson energy spheres suddenly rose into the night sky, followed by bursts of intense roars and energy storms that shook the earth violently before everything returned to calm.

Android 18, a graceful figure, emerged from a building amidst ruins.

"This is the sixth one. Take down one more assassin and the mission will be complete." Android 18 smiled serenely, tossing her golden hair; she wasn't a single wound on her body.

"Miss Lazuli, this is wonderful! Hiring you as my bodyguard was absolutely the right thing to do."

After the intruders were eliminated, Guweisha emerged from the safe room surrounded by bodyguards and immediately launched into a tirade of flattery.

During this time, this Lannaian truly experienced Android 18's strength. Those usually arrogant cosmic assassins were as weak as children in this young lady's hands, completely outmatched. Keep in mind that these were all well-known assassins on the cosmic rankings, none of them weak.

"It's alright, barely enough to make me take it seriously."

Android 18 waved his hand, looking slightly smug.

"Ms. Lazuli, would you be interested in having me as your bodyguard long-term? The compensation is negotiable."

"I'd rather not, I don't want to feel restricted."

Android 18 directly refused. She only acted as a bodyguard to earn commission this time because the other party had connections with the Sephiria Force. As for being a full-time bodyguard, she would rather not do it. This job was tiring and troublesome. It was much more flexible to take on Galaxy missions.

Guweisha was prepared for the rejection from Android 18 and sighed regretfully.

Just then, a ripple appeared in the void, and a purple figure suddenly flashed out from the void. A sharp silver light flashed by, and a cluster of energy blades attacked Guweisha.

The sudden situation stunned everyone present. Guweisha was terrified, his obese body motionless, his face turning pale.

Guweisha's bodyguards quickly lined up to protect their employer, but these bodyguards only had a combat power of 20,000 to 30,000, and were obviously no match for the cosmic assassin. The assassin found an opening in no time.

"How dare you attack your employer right in front of me!"

Swish--

A loud shout rang out, a cold glint flashed in his eyes, and Android 18's figure moved with lightning speed. In an instant, a pretty face appeared in the purple assassin's line of sight, and a chilling aura emanated from her.

"Air Strike!"

He unleashed a technique he had learned from Roland.

He uttered a cold, sharp sentence, and the air was stirred by a force, instantly boiling over.

Android 18 extended his palm, forming a sword shape with two fingers, and unleashed a sharp energy beam towards the assassin.

Before the cosmic assassin could react, Android 18 strode forward, raised her leg, and delivered a powerful kick to the opponent's chest with her long, slender, fair leg.

Boom!

The violent force instantly unleashed an astonishing shockwave. A sound of bones shattering rang out as the purple-clad assassin was kicked to pieces by the ferocious kick, creating a shockwave zone over fifty meters in diameter that stretched for thousands of meters.
