Flying Eagle Was Finished

At Qin Manor, the Dragon Family's experts had arrived: Beibei's second grandpa, Long Hu (Baodan late stage), and her third uncle, Long Xingdi (Xiantian late stage).

But they weren't the only ones. Elder Ouyang Xiu of the Dragon Group had come with his party: Li Fu, a Baodan middle stage expert, and three young men at the Xiantian level.

All three young men knew Long Xingdi, and they exchanged brief greetings when they met.

Everyone sat in the living room, chatting idly over tea and discussing what to do.

"Grandpa Qin, this is bad! Where's Beibei? We have to find her right away. Flying Eagle has accepted the job!"

Long Xingdi stared at his phone, his expression grim. He hadn't expected things to get so serious.

"Xingdi, why are you so worked up? Who's this Flying Eagle? Is he really that powerful? And what job are you talking about? I can't make heads or tails of what you're saying."

"Dad, you never go online. Being targeted by Flying Eagle is like being targeted by the God of Death."

"You mean Beibei's been put on the list? Damn it all! Bach, I'll tear you apart!! You little bastard." Long Hu flew into a thunderous rage. Nobody could match his temper.

"Beibei's still outside, in the western section of the villa complex. It's not far." Old Master Qin looked anxious too.

"The bounty was posted at around three this morning. Bach is offering a billion dollars."

Ouyang Xiu and the others' expressions changed when they heard that. They hadn't expected Bach to be so deranged, offering such a huge sum—a billion dollars. How many people would go mad for that? No wonder it had tempted Flying Eagle.

"Everyone, stay calm. I didn't come here specifically to deal with the Long Beibei incident, but I won't stand by and do nothing. I'll step in if necessary."

Ouyang Xiu was a high-ranking member of the Dragon Group. As an elder, he couldn't just turn a blind eye, especially since he happened to be here.

"Gongming thanks Senior Ouyang," Old Master Qin said, bowing.

"Long Hu also thanks you, Senior." Long Hu clasped his hands and bowed.

Long Xingdi's phone chimed with another message.

"Grandpa Qin, hurry and take us there! Flying Eagle's already on the move. It's happening today." Long Xingdi panicked. He hadn't expected Flying Eagle to act so quickly; he hadn't made any arrangements yet.

"Then hurry! Everyone, follow me. I'll take you there."

"Quick, we can't waste any time."

"Hm? The Stone Monster appeared over there too. We might as well go see what's happening." Ouyang Xiu came around as well. The information he'd read yesterday said the Stone Monster had appeared in the western section.

The group hurried toward Ling Yun's home.

At a temporary hideout on the outskirts of the villa complex, eight members of Magic waited. Another member was keeping watch on Ling Yun's home.

"Boss, look at Niu Yi Bi's homepage! This is huge! That bloodthirsty Bach's gone mad! Someone's claimed the bounty—it's Flying Eagle!"

"Your internet's too slow."

"I remember it clearly. It was him. I heard he used all kinds of tricks."

"Doesn't matter what tricks he used. He got the job done in the end. Assassins stop at nothing."

"This is going to be interesting."

On the hillside across the river, Flying Eagle was watching his target.

He hadn't been able to sleep last night, so he'd browsed Niu Yi Bi's homepage. He hadn't expected to find Bach's bounty there. He accepted the job and came over before dawn.

Once he completed this job, he could retire for good. A billion dollars would last him a lifetime. Watching the little girl across the river, Flying Eagle felt not the slightest pity. Reality was just that cruel.

Whenever he prepared to attack Beibei, a bad feeling welled up inside him. He felt that if he pulled the trigger, he'd be the one to die.

A good instinct mattered in this line of work, and he hadn't felt this way in a long time.

What was wrong?

The target was so far away. What danger could there be?

Even if he was spotted, so what?

Flying Eagle glanced at the river and smiled. Even if someone flew across, it would take dozens of seconds.

He could easily escape. After agonizing over it for a long while, he chose to keep watching his target. He couldn't pass up such a good opportunity.

Ling Yun sat in a chair, watching Qianqian play with Beibei. Qianqian looked very happy to have a playmate. Ling Yun would not allow anyone carrying out a job to ruin this harmony.

Flying Eagle fixed his eyes on Beibei...

Bang!

The hidden weapon shot out. Flying Eagle could already picture his target dead, and he couldn't help grinning foolishly. The job was so easy. Bach's money was a cinch to earn.

Only when the hidden weapon reached the villa did Xu Le notice something was happening. He stared straight at the weapon flying through the air. He had to do something!

Otherwise, Beibei would be gone. Should he shield her with his own body, or push her out of the way?

But the next moment, something happened that terrified Flying Eagle: the hidden weapon came flying back. How was that possible? It had already reached the villa. Who had done this? How?

After killing so many people, he actually wet himself in terror. The weapon was returning many times faster than it had been fired.

I can't believe I, Flying Eagle, am going to die at the hands of such a powerful expert. What a pity I don't know who he is.

Do I regret it?

Of course I do.

He regretted ignoring the warning in his gut and not stopping. He regretted acting without investigating first. More than anything, he regretted being greedy and accepting the job.

Clang!

The hidden weapon pierced his right eye and went straight through his skull. Flying Eagle was dead just like that, without making a sound. The surroundings fell silent.

A legendary figure, one of the kings—Flying Eagle had become a dead eagle just like that.

(I went to bed very late last night, so please cut the author some slack and don't rush me. There'll be another update this afternoon.)
