Chapter 147 He Has Always Been There
This was the place where Chen Pingping and Zi Ji had vanished. Consequently, the Assassin from Chong Tower had been lingering, trying to discover the reason for their disappearance.
For a long time, he found nothing.
Just as he was about to turn and leave, he suddenly sensed a trace of killing intent. It wasn’t strong, and it quickly vanished.
The Assassin was somewhat surprised. He was adept at disguise; even if he walked among a crowd, no one would recognize him. But now, he was clearly being targeted.
Who could it be?
Using the cover of the bustling Long Street, he quickly faded into the shadows, but soon... the killing intent appeared again.
He approached Murong Hua and said, "Someone is targeting me."
"Oh?" Murong Hua asked in surprise, "Who?"
"I don’t know. The presence disappeared too quickly to trace," the Assassin said morosely.
He had always been the hunter, lurking in the shadows to observe his prey. But this time, he was the prey, with someone observing him from the darkness. It was an unsettling feeling.
An hour passed. The killing intent flickered in and out of existence, appearing a total of seven times.
Every time the Assassin tried to capture it, the killing intent would instantly disappear. As it happened more often, he grew inexplicably nervous.
