Chapter 551 - Assassins In The Night (1)

The girls all looked at each other before giving nods.

The only reason they had to come was to give some face to the Thunder Sect and because their grandparents had told them to come. As long as they stayed for a certain amount of time, it was fine for them to leave early.

As they stood to leave, there were people who turned to look in their direction, or rather they turned to look at the girls.

Every person who turned clearly had one girl that they were specifically looking at and it was clear by the way they looked at them that they didn't want them to go. However, with those girls together, they were just too dazzling that they were afraid of going over. Mainly because they were afraid of being rejected in front of everyone which would be bad for their reputation.

There were also plenty of people who remembered Lin Fan's face because they were planning on finding out who he was to be able to go with all these girls to this banquet.

As they were walking out, Mao Tao and Murong Yue moved a bit slower than the rest, so they came to the back.

While they were walking along, Mao Tao leaned close to Murong Yue and asked, "Did you have fun?"

Murong Yue was taken aback by what she heard and there was a blush that quickly appeared on her face before she started denying it, "That was nothing, It was just a show that we were putting on, it didn't mean a thing."

The expression on Mao Tao's face made it clear that she didn't believe her, but she still said, "I saw him first, you and I were both there when it happened."

Murong Yue quickly said, "Xiao Tao…"

But Mao Tao didn't give her any time to say anything else as she moved forward to catch up with Lin Fan.

Murong Yue was left behind with a bitter smile on her face, but there was nothing she could say since there was a part of her that couldn't deny what Mao Tao was implying. As well, there were also things that she couldn't say since it was related to her mission from the Hunters Organization.

After they came out of the banquet hall, there were a few reporters that had stuck around that came forward to take pictures of Lin Fan's group. After all, he had come with three girls, but now he was leaving with four beauties. There had to be a story there.

However, when they came forward to take pictures of Lin Fan's group, there were men in the black that suddenly stopped them and pulled them away.

These people made sure that Lin Fan's group didn't notice anything as they took these reporters away. They brought these reporters who had been trying to complain, but they had covered their mouths as they dragged them into the alleys.

After a few seconds, those people in black clothes came out of the alleys without the reporters. The only difference was that they were wiping off blood from the daggers that they had in their hands.

There had been carriages waiting outside for Lin Fan's group. One was the carriage that Lin Fan and the three girls had come in and the other was Murong Yue's courage.

Lin Fan and Murong Yue exchanged a nod before Lin Fan said, "I'll be going with Murong Yue, we have some things to discuss."

Mao Tao immediately revealed an unhappy look when she heard this and she glared at Murong Yue who did her best to look away.

Lin Fan saw this and said, "We have some business to discuss, it's not what you're thinking."

It was clear by the expression on the faces of the three girls that they clearly didn't believe him, but then at the same time, they received calls from their grandparents. All of their grandparents told them to come home and not mind what Lin Fan was doing.

This was all very strange, but since it was an order from their grandparents, they had no other choice. Even when they were riding away, Mao Tao was still looking out the window at Lin Fan and Murong Yue who were waving goodbye to them.

When the beast carriage disappeared, Lin Fan went over to Murong Yue's beast carriage and opened the door before giving a bow while saying, "Shall we?"

Murong Yue's heart couldn't help skipping a beat, but she forced her expression to be calm as she got in the carriage.

As the two of them drove off, the people in dark clothing who had been watching them suddenly made a call.

When it connected, the leader of these people in dark clothing said, "The target has just gotten into a carriage with the boss' woman. Should we engage?"

There was a pause from the other side of the call before Shi Yan's voice came out saying, "She should be dropping him off at the store. Wait until the target gets out and the boss' woman leaves. We can't afford to get her involved in this. Be sure to keep me posted on the situation at all times, the situation can change at any time and I need to be aware, understand?"

The leader clearly didn't care at all about what Shi Yan said, but he still said, "Got it, we'll talk later."

Then without even waiting for Shi Yan's answer, he hung up.

Shi Yan on the other side had an ugly look on his face, but he forced himself to calm down since he knew that there was nothing he could do.

These people were people that he had hired from the Assassin Association to kill Lin Fan, but these weren't just normal experts. All the people in the team that he had hired to kill Lin Fan were Child Soul Realm Experts, so they weren't afraid of him at all, which was why they could act this brazen.

Still, Shi Yan was confident that they would be able to kill Lin Fan since there were over ten of them and all of them were Child Soul Realm Experts. This was a team that could even kill him.

Back during the exam, Shi Yan had been able to force Lin Fan into a bad situation and he was certain that he could have killed Lin Fan if it wasn't for the president stepping in. Since he would have been able to kill Lin Fan, there was no chance that Lin Fan would be able to survive being surrounded by these Child Soul Realm Experts.

He was truly happy that Lin Fan had dug his own coffin.

If it wasn't for Lin Fan showing off with Murong Yue in front of Lei Feng, he wouldn't have been able to hire these Child Soul Realm Experts. The initial squad that he had planned for this assassination was a few Embryo Soul Realm Experts and two Child Soul Realm Experts from his Shi Family.

However, since Lin Fan had completely offended Lei Feng with his actions at the banquet, Lei Feng had given him the support he needed to ensure that this assassination was a success.

With the funding that Lei Feng provided, Shi Yan had been able to hire all these Child Soul Realm Experts.

The ugly look on Shi Yan's face quickly disappeared as it was replaced with a smile when he thought of Lin Fan's death.

Of course, it wasn't all simple since Lin Fan had gone with Murong Yue.

Since he was with Murong Yue and knowing how important of a position Murong Yue had in the heart of Lei Feng, he had to make sure that these assassins wouldn't do a thing to her.

In the beast carriage, Lin Fan and Murong Yue were sitting facing each other, but neither of them were looking at each other. Both of them were looking out the windows on opposite sides, as if they were looking for something.

After a period of silence, Lin Fan was the first to break it by saying, "I've got six on my side, how many do you have?"

Murong Yue turned back and said, "I got four on my side."

Then she revealed a smile and said, "They aren't even trying to hide themselves at all."

Lin Fan revealed a smile as well to show his agreement to this.

It was clear to both of them why they weren't hiding themselves at all, but it was too bad that they didn't know their own fatal mistake.

When he spoke, Lin Fan didn't respond to the previous issue, but rather he changed the topic by saying, "Are your people ready?"

Murong Yue looked down at the watch on her wrist before giving a nod and saying, "They're all in place. They can move whenever you want."

Lin Fan nodded in response to this and said, "Then let's get this started."

With a word from Murong Yue, the beast carriage turned into an alley before stopping.

Both Lin Fan and Murong Yue came out of the beast carriage and stood there, as if they were looking for something.

The figures in the dark clothing that had been following them were surprised by this and they raised their guard against them, that was until Lin Fan shouted out something that they couldn't believe.

Lin Fan looked around the alley before saying, "If you keep hiding like this, how can we have any fun? How about you guys come out and let's get this party started?"
