Assassination in the Dark Night [200v Bonus Chapter! Seeking Collections]

After eating and drinking his fill and enjoying a peaceful night of rest, Jun Tianlin finally recovered his spirit and physical strength.

Early in the morning, a well-rested Jun Tianlin slowly headed downstairs, stepped out of the hotel, and wandered off in a random direction.

Though he called it a stroll, Jun Tianlin was actually surveying the situation in Green Peak Town, aiming to locate Yamamoto Ichiki, who was hiding within, to facilitate his upcoming plans.

After all, the saying "know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated" holds true in any situation.

To the east, a cluster of casinos, frequented by red-eyed gamblers, commoners, and wealthy patrons alike.

To the west, a scattering of courtyards, their purpose unclear.

To the south, half a red-light district and half a hotel district, which included the place where Jun Tianlin was staying.

To the north, dense residential housing, mostly occupied by commoners, with a few "villas" belonging to the wealthy.

After a day of aimless wandering, Jun Tianlin returned to his hotel room and finally let out a sigh of relief, sitting down comfortably on the large bed.

"Aila, I was truly exhausted today, but fortunately, I have secretly mapped out the entire situation in Green Peak Town. Though it was tiring, it was worth the effort.

However, I really didn't expect that Yamamoto Ichiki, in order to evade his pursuers, would actually run to the red-light district in the south and become a pimp. This guy is truly willing to sacrifice his dignity to hide his identity. If I hadn't passed by there by chance and clearly seen his face, I might have really let him slip through. He is truly cunning!"

After his exclamation, Jun Tianlin lazily tilted his body and lay flat on the large bed, letting out a satisfied murmur.

"Everything is ready. Since I have pinpointed Yamamoto Ichiki's location, I will begin the operation once night falls. Tonight is destined to be shrouded in blood!"

Whispering to himself, Jun Tianlin closed his eyes and slowly drifted into rest.

In the blink of an eye, the sun set behind the mountains, and the sky turned completely dark.

In the darkness, Jun Tianlin, who had been resting, suddenly opened his eyes and sat up in one motion. The bright light emanating from his eyes was clearly visible even in the gloom.

He stood up slowly, walked to the edge of the room, and opened the tightly shut window. Looking at the darkened sky, Jun Tianlin smiled faintly.

"A dark night and a high wind, a perfect night for killing. The sky has turned completely black, which will serve as the perfect cover for my actions. It seems it is time for me to begin."

As his voice faded, Jun Tianlin strode to the table, grabbed the ninja tool pouch, and quickly strapped it to his lower back. With a flash, he leaped directly out of the window.

Thud.

With a soft, crisp sound, Jun Tianlin landed silently on the grass in the hotel's backyard.

He tilted his head, glanced briefly at the dark sky, and using the faint light from a few scattered lamps to identify the path, he tapped his right foot and drifted quickly toward the intersection to the front left.

Whoosh, swish.

Facing the night breeze, Jun Tianlin navigated several turns before slowing his pace and stopping in front of a large building.

"Night Fragrance Garden."

Looking at the sign that exuded a heavy scent of powder and rouge, Jun Tianlin chuckled. With a slight shift of his body and a burst of strength from his legs, he easily leaped onto the roof.

Looking up again, Jun Tianlin used the few remaining lights within the Night Fragrance Garden to locate his destination. He lowered his profile, lightened his footsteps, and moved quickly toward it.

Following the roof of the Night Fragrance Garden, Jun Tianlin easily reached the outer courtyard behind the main building; this was where all the "pimps" of the Night Fragrance Garden resided!

"Hehehe, finally found you. Yamamoto Ichiki, your time is up!"

Staring at the room where the pimp lived, a cold glint appeared in Jun Tianlin's eyes. He crouched down, jumped silently from the roof, and landed at the window of the room.

Click.

Silently unlatching the closed window, Jun Tianlin arched his back and easily slipped inside.

Standing up gently, Jun Tianlin scanned the room in the darkness, looking at one bed after another. Finally, his gaze locked onto the bunk on the far left, against the wall.

The person sleeping soundly on this bed was none other than the rogue Chunin from Kumogakure—Yamamoto Ichiki!

Without any wasted movement, Jun Tianlin walked quickly to the side of the sleeping Yamamoto Ichiki's bed. He extended his right hand, and a sharp Bone Spike protruded from his wrist, plunging downward toward the head of the man in his dreams.

"Die, Yamamoto Ichiki!"
