Chapter 189: Chapter 189 Amateur Assassin
Hearing the pathfinder assassin’s words, Fang Xiaocao and Tom looked at each other and smiled, while simultaneously getting ready to make their move.
In Fang Xiaocao’s hand, the steel nail was charged and ready, prepared to shoot the nail at these assassins at any moment.
Following the call of that assassin, more than a dozen people flooded in from outside, each one carrying shiny long knives and daggers.
Upon seeing this scene, Fang Xiaocao blinked.
She always felt that these assassins were somewhat unprofessional.
Forget about professional ethics, even their movements were sloppy and lax, not at all indicative of well-trained individuals.
With this in mind, Fang Xiaocao turned to look at Tom.
She used her eyes to inquire about Tom’s opinion.
Tom gave a slight shake of his head.
Fang Xiaocao blinked, not understanding what Tom meant.
Just as Fang Xiaocao was puzzling over what Tom’s shake of the head meant.
A “click” sound brought Fang Xiaocao’s thoughts back to reality.
Fang Xiaocao looked towards the source of the sound and saw the assassins had all entered the outer room. The “click” sound had been that of the assassins closing the door.
Seeing this scene, Fang Xiaocao narrowed her eyes and quietly counted—a total of seventeen assassins.
Only now did Fang Xiaocao belatedly realize how spacious this suite she had checked into was. Although the bedroom was a bit small, the outer room was indeed quite large, fitting a dozen people without feeling crowded at all.
Tom made eye contact with Fang Xiaocao and used a gesture, raising the short-handled axe in his hand and making a chopping motion.
Fang Xiaocao nodded slightly, her hand grasping the steel nails threw them towards the group of huddled-up assassins.
“Swish, swish, swish…”
A series of whooshing sounds pierced the air.
Several cold flashes streaked by.
The next second…
In the midst of the assassins, a chorus of screams rang out.
Six knife-wielding assassins collapsed to the ground in agony, clutching various parts of their bodies, howling as they rolled around nonstop.
“Who is it!”
“It’s an ambush!”
“Prepare for battle!”
“Come out here, you coward!”
Suddenly attacked, the group of assassins panicked, barking loudly in a false show of courage.
They kept shuffling their feet, attempting to locate the assailant’s figure.
“Now!”
Seeing this spectacle, Fang Xiaocao threw out six more steel nails and shouted as she leaped out from behind the sofa with the short-handled axe, charging towards the remaining eleven assassins.
Seeing Fang Xiaocao rush out, Tom couldn’t afford to hesitate. He immediately leaped out from behind the sofa and hurried to keep up with Fang Xiaocao.
The source of this c𝓸ntent is frёeweɓηovel.coɱ.
Fearing that Xiaocao might get hurt!
“Brothers, shoulder to shoulder!”
“Take them down!”
“Kill them!”
As Fang Xiaocao and Tom burst out from behind the sofa, the group of assassins immediately started shouting and swinging their weapons, rushing towards them.
Little did they know, they were running head-on into the steel nails shot by Fang Xiaocao.
“Ahhhh…”
In an instant, another round of screams was heard.
Several more assassins collapsed in a flash.
Seeing this unfold, Fang Xiaocao felt certain about her guess.
These so-called assassins were nothing but a mob.
If the assassins could not evade the first wave of steel nails, it could still be chalked up to Fang Xiaocao’s surprise attack.
But facing the second wave of steel nails head-on, any trained assassin should have instinctively dodged, not letting Fang Xiaocao hit so many people.
But…
These assassins didn’t dodge a single one.
A wave of steel nails hit their mark completely.
Another five fell.
With just two waves of hidden weapons, Xiaocao had directly taken down eleven, reducing the assassins’ numbers by two-thirds in an instant.
Tom, with his long legs, moved incredibly fast.
He surpassed Xiaocao in a few strides and engaged in close combat with the six assassins, battling together.
In just a single encounter, Tom had taken down two assassins, and by the time Xiaocao caught up, the third assassin had also been knocked out by Tom’s fist.
“Showing off?”
“Isn’t this just kill-stealing?”
Xiaocao muttered and quickly threw a steel nail, piercing through an assassin’s palm, and at the same time kicked the groaning assassin holding his hand.
Xiaocao’s movements were already very fast.
They could basically be considered as instantly killing the opponent.
But when Xiaocao turned around to find the next assassin, she found that only Tom remained by her side.
Xiaocao: …
While Xiaocao was upset about her kills being stolen, she was also secretly alarmed at Tom’s skills.
Now she was increasingly grateful that on a whim, she had used hypnotism to implant a mental seed in Tom, recruiting him as her aide, which was indeed the correct choice.
In just a few days, Tom had truly helped her a lot.
Tom pulled Xiaocao into the bedroom, gathered the short-handled axe, pistol, black dagger, and all the weapons he had on him, stuffed them into Xiaocao’s bag, and said, “Princess Your Highness, you take the weapons and leave first, head to Villa No. 5 to wait for me; I’ll stay to deal with the police.”
At these words, Xiaocao was startled and looked at Tom in surprise.
“Princess Your Highness, this is not the time to be in a daze; you must leave with the weapons now.”
“Otherwise, if the police find these weapons, we’re really going to have trouble.”
Seeing Xiaocao still in a daze, Tom said with a smile.
“But how will you explain these steel nails to the police?”
Xiaocao knew that Tom wasn’t worried about the weapons being discovered by the police; he was afraid that if she continued to stay here, she would be in danger.
In this situation, it was most likely to be considered legitimate self-defense.
Tom was foreign, and it was an international incident, so it was unlikely the police would search him.
“Princess Your Highness, I can also throw darts, and though I’m not as good as you, it’s enough to bluff my way through.”
Saying this, Tom picked up a steel nail that Xiaocao had dropped, flicked his wrist, and threw it.
The steel nail flew out with a “whoosh.”
With a “thud,” it nailed to the door frame.
Watching this, Xiaocao blinked.
In her heart, she silently gave Tom a 6.
“Princess Your Highness, hurry up and go!”
“If you don’t leave now, it’ll be too late!”
Tom urged from the side.
“Fine, I’ll wait for you at Villa No. 5!”
Xiaocao nodded, grabbed the backpack filled with weapons, and jumped out through the open window.
After landing, Xiaocao rolled to dissipate the force of the impact, looked around to see that no one had noticed her, promptly got up, and, carrying the backpack, headed toward Villa No. 5.
“Thump thump thump~”
As Tom was closing the window, the door was knocked again, “Open up, it’s the police!”
Tom calmly closed the window and responded, “Coming!”
He walked to the door and with a “click,” unlocked it.
“Hello, someone reported that there’s a suspicion of group fighting in your room!”
Seeing Tom’s appearance, the police officer hesitated for a moment, then showed his badge and began to speak.
