Chapter 2

The sea breeze at night was chilly. Xia Jinmian walked against the wind and climbed up the reef, looking out into the sea.

The large ship in the distance burst into flames, illuminating half the sky.

Her beautiful eyes narrowed slightly.

In her previous life, she had accepted a mission that no assassins dared to accept—to assassinate Night Emperor.

Night Emperor was the head honcho of a global organization, and the person that all the major factions in the world feared the most.

This person was extremely mysterious. No one had seen his true appearance and no one knew his whereabouts.

Xia Jinmian finally tracked down Night Emperor today—he was on that ship. Unfortunately, the bomb—fubared by her own cohorts—blew her to kingdom come before she could strike.

The corners of Xia Jinmian’s red lips curled up. She wondered about the reason Hades did not collect her soul—did he want her to continue her missions and be the Themis of the mortal world?

Night Emperor… I’ve a new body now… See if I don’t kill you!

Xia Jinmian was lost in reverie on how to get close to the large ship when her wrist was suddenly grabbed by someone who came out from under the reef and pulled her into the sea.

Xia Jinmian instinctively retaliated, but this person was very strong and agile. He immediately restrained her and quickly covered her mouth with his large palm that reeked of blood.

She heard the exasperated voices of several people.

“Where is he? He plainly ran this way!”

“Keep searching!”

Xia Jinmian finally got out of the sea after the sound of footsteps was no longer audible. However, her body was still firmly restrained. A low and domineering threat sounded in her ear. “Work with me!”

Xia Jinmian was rendered speechless.

She had always been the one making threats. When has she ever been threatened?

Without giving it a thought, she blasted, “Work, my a*s! F*ck off— Ugh!”

The man did not give Xia Jinmian a chance to speak. He covered her mouth firmly.

Xia Jinmian’s face was almost deformed by this man’s strength!

Xia Jinmian had never met such a dangerous man. Even though she had transmigrated to a body that was injured, ordinary men were still no match for her.

Moreover, this man was clearly overwhelmed by injuries. His injuries seemed to be more serious than hers, but he easily overpowered her.

Assassins had the sharpest senses. Xia Jinmian instantly could tell that this man was not simple and not to be trifled with!

Yes, he was even more difficult to deal with than her!

Xia Jinmian had just died once. She did not want to die a second time within the span of an hour. She nodded her chin, indicating that she would cooperate.

What a loser—this was the first time she was threatened, and she gave in so quickly!

Xia Jinmian made a mental note to write this man down in her Book of Life and Death and would settle the score later!

When Ye Mohan saw that the woman beside him had become subservient, he let go of her hand and looped his arms over her thin shoulders as they walked towards a crowded place.

Xia Jinmian realized that the man wanted to use her as a cover and sneak among the couples participating in the bonfire party in a bid to escape. Her expression flickered and she asked,

“You escaped from the ship?”

“Shut up!”

“…”

This f*cking a*shole was domineering and rude. He wanted her to help him escape, but he still dared to be so hostile to her?

Very well, I’ll write you down again in the Book of Life and Death!

Under the dim light of the beach and the cover of Xia Jinmian, Ye Mohan’s tall figure successfully crossed the beach and onto the main road.

A black car immediately drove over. As it approached, the door suddenly opened. Ye Mohan discarded Xia Jinmian mercilessly and jumped in swiftly.

The car door closed and the car sped off in an instant.

“What the f*ck?” Xia Jinmian could not believe it. She was so furious that she almost stomped her feet and berated, “F*cking a*shole, don’t let me see you again!”

“What are you shouting at? Did you see an injured man?” A man in black ran over and asked.

Xia Jinmian sized up the man in black. It was the Skeleton Mercenary. The corners of her lips curled up. Without any hesitation, she betrayed the man who had discarded her after using her.

“He escaped in a car from here. Hurry up and chase after him before it’s too late!”

Although he was suspicious, he still gave chase immediately with his henchmen.

Xia Jinmian looked at the convoy driving away and gave an evil and sinister smile. She played with the jade ring she had swiped from the man just now. This jade ring—worth hundreds of millions of dollars—was the most expensive antique displayed on the large ship. She did not expect this man to steal it.

But… it was hers now!
