Chapter 1534 - 1535: Sparring Partner
Lin Chen's gaze turned cold as he stared at the jungle not far away, suddenly smiling at Linda.
We'll talk about apprenticeship later; let's go eat first, my treat.
"Haha, Chen's treating us, we should make him pay for a nice meal."
"Yeah, yeah, I heard a new Chinese restaurant called Starry opened in East City, and the food is excellent."
"Starry Chinese Restaurant? Lin Chen was instantly surprised."
"Isn't that name the same as my company's brand?!"
"Could someone be impersonating my brand?" Lin Chen was instantly curious.
"Alright, let's go to that Starry restaurant," Lin Chen decided on the spot.
They got into the car and raced toward the restaurant.
Luxury cars all the way made many people envious.
Just as these luxury cars left, a black Mercedes car followed them.
"Boss, what do we do? These kids are always with Chen Lin; it's hard to make a move," a middle-aged man wearing sunglasses said gravely.
"Keep close to them; we must deal with this guy tonight," the man in sunglasses said coldly.
Lin Chen was driving Tony's sports car, with Linda in the passenger seat.
As the car reached a secluded area, Lin Chen suddenly said, "Pull over to the side and let them go ahead; we'll catch up later."
"Is something wrong?" Tony pulled over and asked, puzzled.
Lin Chen smiled lightly and said to Linda, "You wanted to learn martial arts from me, right? Well, watch closely."
With that, Lin Chen jumped out of the car and tapped the roof, "Lock the doors, and no matter what happens, don't get out."
"Okay." Tony nodded, and right then, the headlights behind flashed; the Mercedes had followed them.
Lin Chen squinted slightly and stood in the middle of the road.
The driver of the black car saw Lin Chen, and his gaze immediately turned icy.
"Boss, we seem to have been discovered," the man in black said gravely.
From behind his sunglasses, the bald man had a cruel gleam in his eyes, "This kid is quite alert; since he's courting death, let's help him achieve it."
With a hiss, accompanied by the sound of brakes, the Mercedes stopped by the road, and two men in black got out of the car.
Lin Chen looked casually at the men in black and suddenly smiled, "Are you two here to kill me?"
The man in sunglasses grinned, "You actually know your fate."
Lin Chen smiled lightly, "Who sent you?"
"We're assassins; naturally, we don't betray our employer!"
Lin Chen nodded slightly, already well aware that they were undoubtedly sent by Jack.
He guessed correctly; these two assassins were indeed hired by Jack at great expense.
The last incident cost him his dignity, especially since the four tigers he relied on were incapacitated by Lin Chen.
This made Jack extremely angry.
It was hard, but even his cousin, the deputy chief of police, was implicated and failed.
Although his cousin later warned Jack, saying Lin Chen was not easy to handle and to be careful, Jack was still unwilling to give up.
Since he couldn't use his four tigers anymore, he turned his attention to assassin groups, spending a fortune to hire SSS-level experts.
In M Country, assassins are divided into four levels, and SSS level is already very strong.
Jack knew that once Chen Lin was dead, he could regain his lost reputation and even let everyone know that no matter how impressive they were, offending Jack was a mistake.
Killing Chen Lin would also mend his relationship with his cousin.
Since the last incident, Jack noticed his cousin seemed to be deliberately keeping a distance, clearly unwilling to get close to him, which made him very frustrated.
And all this was caused by the despicable Chen Lin, so he had to die.
The two assassins had very limited information on Lin Chen, but they didn't really care about a young kid fresh out in the world.
The only thing they found tricky was Lin Chen often hanging out with a bunch of rich kids, making it hard to make a move.
These wealthy kids were not people they wanted to provoke.
Jack also instructed them not to alarm these young masters under any circumstances.
This time, Lin Chen came to them directly, and they naturally wouldn't refuse this grand gift.
The black-clad man next to the sunglasses man sneered, "Kid, we're just taking money to solve problems, so consider yourself unlucky."
With those words, the black-clad man's hand flashed with cold light, and a military knife appeared, heading straight for Lin Chen.
"Swoosh!"
The cold light flashed, and the military knife struck like lightning, aimed directly at Lin Chen's throat.
Lin Chen watched as the cold light approached, not making a move until the knife was only a few centimeters from his throat, then spun his body.
The knife barely missed Lin Chen's neck as he spun away.
Inside the sports car, Tony and Linda were almost scared stiff.
At this moment, Linda realized what true fighting was.
Evading the knife, Lin Chen approached the black-clad man and gave a strong shove.
With a dull thud, Lin Chen's shoulder hit the man, sending him staggering back six or seven steps before regaining his balance.
"So strong!" The sunglasses man's disdain disappeared, replaced by a look of seriousness.
Lin Chen smiled faintly, "Don't waste time; both of you come at me together."
"Together?" Tony and Linda heard Lin Chen's bold words and were immediately filled with admiration; this is what a true expert is.
The sunglasses man and the black-clad man exchanged glances, and the sunglasses man's eyes flashed a cold gleam as a similarly sharp military knife appeared in his hand.
"Together!"
With those words, the two of them charged at Lin Chen from the left and right.
Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!
In an instant, Lin Chen was enveloped by the cold light of two military knives.
The movements of the three were swift, especially the coordination between the two assassins, one targeting Lin Chen's upper body and the other his lower.
Their purpose was simple: to make it difficult for Lin Chen to handle both ends.
Yet Lin Chen, amid their stormy attacks, was very composed.
Though their attacks seemed to block all his escape routes, Lin Chen easily dodged every one.
The dazzling attacks made Linda's blood boil.
What is martial arts? This is true martial arts.
Thinking about the flashy but useless moves she had learned before, Linda felt like she wanted to hit a wall.
As Lin Chen fought, he spoke, "Can you see? True martial arts attacks must be as sharp as daggers, swift and speedy as wind and lightning; defense must be as composed as a rock, even surrounded by danger, with a heart as calm as water, to clearly perceive the opponent's weaknesses."
The two assailants only then noticed there were two people watching from the car.
Damn it?! We're here to kill you, and you're treating us like sparring partners for teaching. This is too insulting to an assassin's dignity.
