“Bang!!”
Zoroark grabbed the man’s head with its claws and viciously smashed it against the wall.
The man’s eyes rolled back, and he instantly fell unconscious.
Taken out in an instant!
At the spot where the Spooky Puppet had been split in two by Zoroark’s Night Slash, a light appeared on the ground, and the Spooky Puppet vanished within it.
“Ah!!”
A scream rang out.
Chi Hong glanced back to see a waitress covering her mouth as she turned and ran away.
He didn’t give chase.
Just as he didn’t care whether the man lying on the ground was dead or not, Chi Hong paid absolutely no mind to her.
Since Zoroark had chosen to attack, whether or not to maintain the illusion for the surrounding ordinary people mattered even less.
It was very obvious that the private room in front of them had excellent soundproofing; absolutely no noise from the outside could be heard inside, because Chi Hong hadn’t heard any noise coming from within either.
“Shadow Claw!”
Once they made a move, there was absolutely no reason to stop.
Chi Hong took a step back, letting Zoroark violently break down the door!
In reality, the door could have been pushed open with a single shove, but pushing it open to enter wouldn’t cause panic.
He didn’t know how many people were inside, and anyway, Chi Hong’s target was solely Boss Cai.
After all, doing extra work wouldn’t get anyone to pay him extra.
Boom!!
The door, along with its frame, was swatted flying by a single swipe from Zoroark’s claw.
The force behind this blow could well be imagined; if it hit a person, it would be an absolute guarantee of death!
The instant the door was sent flying, the deafening sound of music from the speakers inside the private room flooded out.
Before the group of disheveled people could even react, Chi Hong waved his hand and said, “Knock them all out.”
“Chaa~”
Zoroark unleashed Psychic on everyone.
It was extremely fast, and the effect it had on humans was ridiculously good.
Even if a few of the individuals were suspected Beast Tamers, they simply didn’t have the time to summon their pet beasts.
Looking at the room full of people, Chi Hong felt a bit awkward.
He pulled out his phone, opened the assassination dossier, found Boss Cai’s photo, and swept a glance around the room.
“He’s not here?”
Chi Hong frowned.
Wasn’t the intelligence accuracy rate supposed to be very high?
Didn’t they say it was eighty-seven percent?
“Not professional at all!” Chi Hong cursed angrily.
He was just about to slip away when Zoroark grabbed the corner of his clothes and pointed a finger at the door panel lying on the side.
“Lift it.” Chi Hong immediately understood and opened his phone’s camera.
“Hehe…” Zoroark used its right claw to lift the door panel.
Underneath it was a middle-aged man wearing women’s underwear.
The back of his head was smashed to a pulp; he couldn’t be any more dead.
“Ew~”
“I admire you for being able to laugh at this.”
Chi Hong felt a chill run down his spine.
He snapped a photo of the bloodied Boss Cai and sent it to Number 73.
Meanwhile, at Lu Yao’s home, she received the latest update from the intelligence personnel. This chapter is updated first at g.com.
“The difficulty of the mission to assassinate Boss Cai has increased.
Boss Cai once funded the rescue of a certain person’s daughter, and this person is suspected to be an A-Rank Beast Tamer.
Usually, when Boss Cai goes out, this Beast Tamer rests in the lounge.”
“Considering the four hundred thousand payout, virtually no one will take this mission.
It is recommended to either cancel this mission or ask the client to increase the commission.”
Lu Yao leaned her head closer to her phone.
“Are you kidding me?
A-Rank??”
“Damn it, why is this intel coming in so late?
The new kid has probably already arrived by now!!”
“Just my fucking luck.
A principled middleman like me really isn’t suited for this line of work!
The recruit I finally managed to rope in might just croak today, and right before he dies, he might even resent me for tricking him!”
Lu Yao cursed viciously in her heart.
During this, she directly dialed Chi Hong’s number.
The call was quickly connected, and Chi Hong’s plain “Hello” came through from the other end.
“Red, are you there yet?
Hold off on making a move for now, the intel has been updated.”
Hearing the anxious tone through the phone, Chi Hong turned his head and saw a middle-aged man.
His face was incredibly ashen, and floating behind him was a bizarre, ghost-like pet beast.
[Deathly Ghost Shadow: Level 72]
[Type: Ghost, Dark]
[Ability: Phantom, immune to purely typeless skills.]
“Tsk…”
“If the intel was wrong, it was wrong.
What do you mean ‘updated intel’?
Can you be a bit more professional, sis?”
Chi Hong said helplessly, then hung up the phone.
“Kill him,” the middle-aged man ordered coldly.
The Deathly Ghost Shadow floated forward.
Its overall appearance was like a humanoid shadow, its face a chaotic blur with its features completely indistinguishable.
“Wooaaahhh~~”
A series of shrill, bizarre sounds rang out, making one’s scalp tingle and entire body break out in goosebumps.
“Protect!” Chi Hong issued a command.
Zoroark decisively stepped in front of Chi Hong, generating a transparent protective barrier that shielded them both.
Without any hesitation, Chi Hong immediately turned, crashed through the window glass, and jumped out.
This was the third floor; an ordinary person jumping down would likely die.
However, Chi Hong wasn’t worried in the slightest, because before he even hit the ground, Zoroark caught him, and they landed very steadily on the ground.
“So Abilities have appeared.
This is the first time I’ve seen one; that’s quite something.”
“The main issue is that the level is too high.
Zoroark, this is going to be a tough fight!”
He decided to test the waters; the moment he sensed a situation he absolutely couldn’t handle, he would flee.
For trainers and Pokémon who didn’t experience fierce battles, their progress would be minuscule.
A phantom materialized before Chi Hong’s eyes, taking the form of that middle-aged man and the Deathly Ghost Shadow.
“A skill similar to Teleport?”
“Interesting.”
Chi Hong unzipped his jacket, fully concentrating.
“You blocked my Deathly Ghost Shadow’s skill, but can you block it a second time?”
“Deathly Ghost Shadow…”
“Zoroark!
Flamethrower!
Directly take out that Beast Tamer who spouts so much nonsense!” Chi Hong waved his hand.
The opponent was taking too long to make a move, and he wasn’t going to wait for the enemy to finish talking before attacking!
Zoroark opened its mouth and spewed out flames, the raging fire rushing straight at the middle-aged man.
The firelight illuminated the surroundings, and Chi Hong suddenly heard the wail of police sirens.
“I now understand the deterrent power of police sirens.
I’m starting to get nervous.”
“Zoroark, retreat!”
Chi Hong turned and ran, still without the slightest hesitation.
After the intense flames subsided, the middle-aged man stood in place with a gloomy expression.
He was surrounded by wisps of white aura that had blocked the damage from the Flamethrower.
“Catch him, we must eliminate this guy!”
“Where exactly did this guy come from?
An assassin?”
The middle-aged man looked unhurriedly at the Deathly Ghost Shadow.
The Deathly Ghost Shadow transformed into a cloud of white smoke, enveloping the man and vanishing from the spot.
“Siaa-awoo!!”
On the road, Zoroark let out a low growl at Chi Hong.
Chi Hong immediately understood: that guy was chasing them, and his speed was very fast.
“Head for a deserted place and take him out!”
Chi Hong’s gaze also began to turn fierce.
He didn’t look afraid in the slightest.
It was only twenty-two levels higher than his Zoroark; what he lacked in levels, he would make up for in skill!
Meanwhile, Lu Yao had only just seen the message Chi Hong sent her.
In the photo, several bright red claws could be seen, along with a peace sign that the photographer had clearly extended toward the camera.
Right in the center of the photo was Boss Cai, his face covered in blood.
“He took him out?”
“My god, it’s been so long, I’ve finally made a sale!”
“Wait…
that A-Rank Beast Tamer has probably set his sights on him by now.
I have to call Han Wu quickly and tell him to go provide backup!”
“With such decisive execution, he’s definitely a pro.
My performance review depends on him!”
Lu Yao hastily opened her contacts list and dialed Han Wu’s number.
