Chapter 160 - A Monster

Swish!

In the darkness, Nan Hua could sense several people were moving quickly towards the residence before her. Sneaking from the side door, they rushed over to one of the few buildings there.

"Stay here."

"Yes."

Nan Hua then leapt down and sneaked towards the same building.

Cai Yun Shao and Fei Mao followed her from a certain distance while a bit further away from them, Hou Lin was trying his best to hide his presence. His heart had been erratic from the very moment he followed Nan Hua to the cloth store.

Now that he saw her interacting with so many powerful assassins, he felt that his heart had fallen into the deep pit.

'Would Young Miss be alright?'

Even if he knew that Nan Hua was powerful after countless training with him, he was still worried. She was only 9 years old, going to be 10 in a few months' time. It was understandable that he would be worried that Nan Hua wouldn't be able to conduct herself well in front of so many experienced others.

But he didn't dare to move forward.

Tep!

Nan Hua reached the location and hid behind a pillar, listening in.

"Bad news! There's a fight and it seems that Leader Dou is killed?"

"What? She's a powerful assassin. How can it be possible for her to be killed so easily?"

"That's what I heard!"

"Damn it! Gather everyone and charge to that clothing store! We're going to settle the score."

"What if they have been prepared to receive us?"

"Nonsense! No one should know about us! Go!"

"Yes." Cai Yun Shao felt a bit numb. He moved toward the man and took out the poison that was lodged between his teeth. It was mostly used by powerful assassination group but Dark Moon Organization didn't follow this because most of the people in their group was deserter.

They were not properly trained to become assassins.

Besides, there was not really much to hide. If their customers wanted them to hide the news, they could just prepare the poison for that particular mission.

Fei Mao looked at the man and furrowed his eyebrows. "Isn't he the steward? Where's Minister Hou?"

"He died." Nan Hua had killed that man first because he was planning on releasing all the birds. The methods of communication at this time still used either messenger or birds. She couldn't possibly alert the enemies, so she stopped him first.

"Oh..."

"Leave him to Fei Mao first, show me the information group."

Cai Yun Shao was stunned then nodded. Since the poison was already taken out, it would be harder for the man to kill himself. "Bring him to the empty room in the underground prison. I'll go there later."

"Yes." Fei Mao actually wanted to follow them but on the second thought, he wouldn't be able to help anything even if he did go. Even in this place, he felt that his task was simply to wait upon Nan Hua as she killed the enemies.

Thinking of the assassin's face when he rushed out in terrified manner, Fei Mao shook his head and felt a bit glad that he was not the one going against Nan Hua.

Swish!

Cai Yun Shao looked at Nan Hua for a moment. "Shall I call you Leader or...?"

"Young Miss will suffice." Nan Hua didn't really like being called leader. Since she would be handing over the fake leader's position to Fei Mao for the time being, it would be better for them to call her with that name.

"Alright. Young Miss, while it's called as information gathering, it's not really a professional group."

The two of them stopped in the middle of the street. Cai Yun Shao knocked on the door of an ordinary house beside him.

"Who is it? It's already late..."

"Chi Yun Shao."

The voice inside halted for a moment before sounds of scurried footsteps could be heard. In the next moment, the door was pulled open and a teenager stood there. He looked surprised yet happy when he saw Cai Yun Shao in front of him.. However, his face changed when he saw that the man was not alone.
