After entering the villa.

The employer and his family immediately came to greet them.

"You've finally arrived! Today, the fate of my entire family rests on your shoulders."

The person who said this was the employer of this mission, named Wei Xianghong.

Jiang Fan noticed Wei Qi standing behind Wei Xianghong and was slightly surprised. He hadn't expected that their employers would be Wei Qi and his family.

Speaking of Wei Qi didn't come to school today; now that I think about it, he must have been hiding from his enemies.

While Jiang Fan was secretly analyzing the situation, Jiang Fan Wei Qi's attention was also drawn to him.

Strange? This person looks familiar. I feel like I've seen him somewhere before.

At this point, Wei Xianghong began to stammer.

"I see your studio has a member at the Middle-Stage Martial Apprentice. You also know the overall strength of our opponents this time: one Late-Stage First-Rank Martial Artist, one Mid-Stage First Rank martial artist, one low- Early-Stage First Rank martial artist, and two Late-Stage Martial Apprentice. Although you are all at the First Rank, his strength..."

As he spoke, Wei Xianghong's gaze fell on Jiang Fan.

Yang Xiaoqiang stepped forward and said, "Don't underestimate him just because he's not very strong. His archery skills are practically divine; he can hit the bullseye every time. Besides, given the current situation, the enemy is in the dark while we are in the light. We need skilled archers to protect us. I believe you understand this, Boss Wei."

"I understand the logic, but his strength—"

Wei Xianghong stopped halfway through his sentence, his meaning clear: he expressed serious doubt about Jiang Fan's abilities.

"This concerns the lives of my entire family, so we can't afford to be careless. Mr. Yang, you should understand what I mean, right?"

Yang Xiaoqiang nodded. "I understand."

After saying that, he looked at Jiang Fan.

"Give Boss Wei a demonstration, let him see your archery skills, and put his mind at ease."

Without wasting words, Jiang Fan drew his bow and shot an arrow. With a "whoosh," the arrow pierced the air and embedded itself in the wall.

What domineering power!

Wei Qi was amazed.

As a Late-Stage Martial Apprentice, he felt that with his current strength, he was definitely not capable of reaching that level.

Before Wei Qi could finish his exclamation, Jiang Fan drew his bow again, and without any hesitation, shot one arrow after another, each arrow hitting a different spot.

This scene left the entire Wei Family family completely bewildered.

Why did each arrow land in a different spot?

Only after Jiang Fan stopped shooting did everyone see clearly that he had shot a word on the wall with an arrow.

"Fan."

Jiang Fan sheathed his bow and looked at Wei Xianghong.

" Tang Fan, that's my name."

shock!

Wei Xianghong dared not underestimate Jiang Fan anymore. He could shoot an arrow into the wall and even shoot out his own name with the arrow, which showed his amazing skill in archery.

Although he wasn't a martial artist, after so many years of experience, he knew a thing or two about this person, and that his future was absolutely limitless.

Thinking of this, Wei Xianghong immediately put away his doubts and put on a smiling face.

"Young man, you look so young, yet you possess such skill. I was so narrow-minded. Please have a seat, Old Zhou, bring some tea."

While warmly greeting Jiang Fan, Wei Xianghong said to Yang Xiaoqiang, "Boss Yang, congratulations on finding such a promising archer."

"Oh, no, you're just lucky. You mustn't tell anyone."

"I understand the rules."

"I still trust Mr. Wei's character."

Wei Xianghong smiled happily. With such a skilled archer in charge, the safety of his entire family would be much more assured.

Just then, Jiang Fan suddenly looked towards the window.

The next second, with a "whoosh," an arrow pierced through the window glass, its sharp tip aimed straight at Wei Qi.

Wei Qi was so shocked his eyes almost popped out, but the arrow came too fast, so fast that no one could react.

At this critical moment, another arrow suddenly shot from the side, knocking away the arrow that was originally aimed at Wei Qi.

That's right, the person who just shot that arrow was none other than Jiang Fan.

Without hesitation, Jiang Fan drew his bow again and shot an arrow out the window.

"Ah!" A scream came from outside, followed by the sound of someone falling from a tree to the ground.

This entire series of operations took less than two seconds.

This demonstrates Jiang Fan's quick reaction and swift action.

Still in shock, Wei Qi stared blankly at Jiang Fan, his mouth agape for a long time, his mind filled with the repeated phrase, "Holy crap! That's amazing!"

"Holy crap! The enemy archers were taken care of just like that?" Zhou Xiaoyan exclaimed, his eyes wide.

Yang Xiaoqiang's face tightened. "Everyone, get ready. The enemy has lost their archers, so they'll probably switch to close-quarters combat very soon. That will greatly reduce the effectiveness of our archers."

Just as Yang Xiaoqiang had predicted, the door was smashed open as soon as he finished speaking, and at the same time, the windows were also broken open, and all five people rushed in.

Seeing this display of force, everyone was taken aback.

"What the hell? Weren't the archers dead? Shouldn't there only be four of them? How come there are five left?"

Wei Xianghong took out his phone and dialed a number. "Hey! Didn't you say you were only sending five people this time? How come there are six?"

The person on the other end of the phone laughed and said, "Hey Wei Laosan, you've been doing business for so many years, don't you know that there's no such thing as a merchant without guile? You believed me when I said I'd send a few people? You're really naive."

Wei Xianghong trembled with rage, "You, you—"

"Oh, right, we were pretty good partners back in the day, so I'm just reminding you again out of kindness. I've arranged a total of six people this time: besides the archer who's Late-Stage Martial Apprentice, there's one Late-Stage First-Rank Martial Artist, two Middle-Stage First-Rank Martial Artist, and two Early-Stage First-Rank Martial Artist."

Upon hearing this, Wei Xianghong was so shocked that he cried out.

"What did you say?!"

Still shaken, he quickly called out to Yang Xiaoqiang.

"They exaggerated their strength. Their true strength consists of one Late-Stage First-Rank Martial Artist, two Middle-Stage First-Rank Martial Artist, and two Early-Stage First-Rank Martial Artist!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Xiaoyan and the others immediately burst into verses of traditional Chinese poetry.

"Damn it! This is going to kill us!"

At this point, Zhou Xiaoyan had already engaged the enemy in combat. "Boss, let's retreat. This isn't a breach of contract on our part; it's just that the information provided by the employer was incorrect!"

Upon hearing this, Wei Xianghong immediately became anxious.

"No—no! If you leave, my whole family is doomed! We'll pay more! We'll pay more!"

Zhou Xiaoyan: "This isn't about whether we get more money or not, okay? Our entire studio might be wiped out here today."

Suddenly, someone on the other side shouted, "Take care of the archers first!"

"I'll go." A man wearing a Peking Opera mask charged towards Jiang Fan.
