Chapter 606
âReally? Let me see just how bad you are, then!â Rowanâs lips curled
into a mischievous smirk. He thought this beautiful woman was
probably one of those homeless delinquents. She was a lamb walking
right into his hands. It would be absurd of him not to take advantage.
Turning around, Rowan then noticed the woman holding a gleaming
dagger.
âGirls shouldnât play with knivesâ¦â
Rowan grabbed the womanâs wrist, which felt weak and tender. It was
as if he were holding a wad of cotton.
Suddenly, the womanâs palm slammed into Rowanâs chest. The thick
true energy sent him rattling against the shutters. Then, the woman thrust the dagger in her hand toward Rowanâs chest once more.
Just as the dagger was about to pierce Rowanâs heart, a large hand stabbed through the shutters and grabbed the cold blade directly.
With an abrupt force, Nash yanked the woman out, leaving a person- shaped hole in the shutters. The woman twisted her wrist, and in a blink of an eye, she appeared behind Nash. The dagger in her hand was aimed swiftly at the back of Nashâs heart.
Nashâs figure blurred. He disappeared from where he was initially standing. The womanâs dagger pierced the air before she immediately turned, delivering a swift kick.
Nash gripped the womanâs ankle. With a slight smile, he glanced
along the edge of her skirt. Gritting her teeth, the woman tried to pull
her foot back but found Nashâs hand to be as unyielding as if it were
made of steel.
She could not break free even with the use of inner energy.
âWho are you?â the woman asked, expression cold.
âWho are you?â Nash countered.
âYouâre asking for it!â
The woman snorted coldly and leaped up using the force of âs hand. A dagger sprung from the shoe of her other foot and she
stabbed it toward Nashâs neck.
Nash tilted his head slightly, and with his other hand, he caught other ankle.
With both feet captured, the womanâs body swung wildly in the air. Bastard, let me go!â
Nash smiled faintly, slowly spreading his hands apart.
Though the woman was wearing leggings, she could not stop Nash. from shamelessly looking under her skirt. A blush appeared on her. neck and face. She closed her eyes and screamed, âHelp! Iâm being assaulted!â
However, there was no one on the street to pay attention to her cries. Regardless of how loud she was, no one responded. Inside the room, Rowan had already regained his composure.
With the situation reaching this point, Rowan already guessed that this woman was an assassin. Something must have gone wrong, driving Horace to send someone to silence him.
Pale-faced, Rowan crawled and rolled as he ran into the distance.
After letting go of the woman, Nash swiftly chased after him.
When Rowan glanced back as he was running and saw Nash pursuing him, his inner despair intensified. Horace had indeed regarded him highly enough to hire two assassins.
Still feeling the impact of the blow from the woman, his breathing. came short. His chest was feeling tight. However, he dared not stop, fearing that he might be killed if he did.
Reaching a corner, Rowan leaped over a wall and entered a residential area. Leaning against the wall, he panted heavily. âHorace⦠Youâre unkind, so donât blame me for being unjust!â
He was reaching for his phone to call the police when a graceful figure approached. It was the beautiful female assassin. Her lips.
curved into a smile. âYouâre quite the fast runner!â
Rowanâs face turned pale, and he shivered against the wall. âHow much did Horace pay you? I⦠I can offer you double the money. Just please spare my life!â
Over the years, he had earned quite a bit from photography, and her also had a share of Outstanding Cultureâs profits. He was willing to
use all his savings just to preserve his life.
The woman suddenly threw the dagger in her hand. Rowan tried to
dodge, but he felt as if a force was binding him where he was,
rendering his fingers motionless. The dagger came rushing toward him. In utter despair, Rowan closed his eyes.
The wall collapsed. The bricks missed Rowan and went rushing
toward the woman. Only a great-grandmaster with precise control of inner energy could achieve such a feat.
A hint of surprise flashed across the womanâs face. âThis man is already a great-grandmaster despite being in his 20s?â
