Chapter 1928: Killers With No Feelings
It was getting late at night.
Many shops on the Aden Square were already closed, and the square was in complete silence.
A few people in night camouflage clothes gathered under a huge tree.
The man in black whispered, “Leader, after investigation, we found out that the owner of this restaurant has a daughter around four years old who’s a half-elf.”
The leader with a square jaw waved his hand, and ordered decisively, “Then what are we waiting for? Let’s catch and take her back right now.”
The order they received was to find that three-and-a-half-year-old half-elf within three days, and not to let any suspicious target go when they were not sure.
That man in black quickly said, “But this little girl’s identity is a little special. She is Krassu and Urien’s disciple, and even won the championship at the Magic Caster Tournament a few days ago. Her power is above the 7th-tier.”
“What? A three-year-old 7th-tier magic caster?!” The eyes of the man in black with a square jaw widened immediately.
Although the other men in black had covered their faces, shock could still be seen in their eyes.
That man in black also gulped, and said, “She defeated an 8th-tier magic caster, and won the Magic Caster Tournament’s championship.”
They suddenly fell silent.
The men in black looked at their leader with a square jaw.
The leader with a square jaw looked rather embarrassed. Fortunately, the black handkerchief covered most of his face.
Although he was great at stalking, he was just a 7th-tier knight.
It was a little hard to accept the fact that they couldn’t defeat a three-year-old child.
“Furthermore, Urien is living in that magic potion shop next door. If we get too loud, we might disturb him…” that man in black added.
“Leader, she dared to appear in Rodu, and took part in the tournament in front of the king and everyone else. Moreover, there isn’t any information that links her to Alex. She definitely isn’t our target.”
“Urien is the Lord of Ice, a 10th-tier great magic caster and famous for his weird temper. If we antagonize him, and cause the plan to fail… I think none of us will have a good ending.”
“Leader, should we change a target?”
All the men in black began to ask their leader to calm down.
“You guys have a point. I also think that she can’t be our target. How could Alex have opened a restaurant and become a chef? Unless he is selling braised giant dragon’s heads.” The leader with a square jaw nodded, and then emphasized, “I didn’t decide not to go because I can’t defeat her. This concerns His Highness’s big plan.”
The men in black all nodded.
Obviously, they were all killers with no feelings.
However, they were still afraid of death.
“Just like that?” Mag and Irina were standing at the top of a huge tree close by, and they watched the black-robed figures retreating quietly with a weird expression.
Irina said to Mag smilingly, “Seems like your cover is quite successful. Anyone with a normal brain would never expect you to be a chef, much less a chef with extraordinary culinary skills.”
“I cannot pick my talents.” Mag sighed, and looked up at the sky at a 45-degree angle with a hint of melancholy in his eyes.
“Let’s catch up with them to see what they are trying to do.” Irina leaped lightly, and drifted to the top of another tree 10-odd meters away.
Mag could not fly. As someone with pure physical output, he could leap 10-odd meters if he wanted to, but he couldn’t do it as lightly and gracefully as Irina. Hence, he could only jump down to the branches, and then leap from branch to branch.
Judging from their conversation, these fellows obviously came for Amy, and they belonged to Sean.
As for why they came for Amy, that rainy night attack three years ago explained everything.
If Alex had a weakness, it wasn’t Irina, who was equally powerful as him, but his daughter, whom he would protect with his life.
A half-elf who wasn’t even four years old yet should be very easy to control. As long as they could catch her, Alex’s lifeline would be in their hands.
Their thinking was correct.
It was exactly like that three years ago.
Amy was still Mag’s greatest weakness, but this time, he wouldn’t let anyone harm her.
The black-robed figures’ stalking skills were exquisite. It was obvious that Sean had spent a lot of effort nurturing this group of personal guards.
However, techniques were nothing in front of power.
Mag stalked them at a distance that wasn’t too close or too far. They stopped in a courtyard at the south of the city.
“Have you confirmed the target?”
“Confirmed. A family of three. One human, one 1st-tier elf, and a three-and-a-half-year-old half-elf. They are all asleep.”
“Kill the human and the elf. Bring the child away.” A cold glint flashed across the eyes of the leader with a square jaw.
Three men in black leaped up, and landed in the courtyard.
Razor-sharp daggers were pulled out, and with the cold reflection of the moonlight, they flicked open the door latch gently.
Just as they were about to push open the wooden door, a gust of wind suddenly blew out from the yard, causing the dust and fallen leaves to swirl around. The black-robed figures covered their eyes instinctively.
“All of you deserve to die.” An extremely cold voice appeared next to their ears.
All the black-robed figures paled, and grasped their weapons tightly as they looked around them.
Without waiting for them to react, the fallen leaves that were flying in the air had already slit their throats. They could only make a low groan.
“What’s happening?” The leader with a square jaw heard the groans in the yard, and his expression turned grave. He was about to climb over the wall and enter.
Right then, a hand appeared at his shoulder, and a low voice sounded right next to his ear. “They’re all dead.”
“A-Alex!” The man with a square jaw in black froze, and his heart turned cold.
“How many people has Sean sent to do such a thing in Chaos City?” Mag asked coldly.
The man in black with a square jaw didn’t dare to turn his head, but he knew he was already caught by Alex, and was already dead meat. He immediately smirked. “Since you guys are here, your daughter is most likely gone. If you let me go, I can help you guys find her.”
“I want to know where your nest is, and how many scums like you are in Chaos City now.” Mag stepped on the foot of the man in black with a square jaw.
With the sound of bone-shattering and the screams of the black-robed figure, the forward half of his left foot was already a mush of crushed flesh and bones.
Beads of sweat gushed out on his forehead, and the extreme pain almost made him faint.
“Where?”
Mag’s voice appeared again like a devil.
“I-I will never…”
Crack, crack…
Mag cut his left hand into 18 pieces.
“Kill me… I-I’ll tell you everything…” The man in black finally broke, and told Mag and Irina about their hiding place in Chaos City. As for how many people were acting in Chaos City, that was beyond his knowledge.
“I hope you didn’t make up the address, otherwise I will make you regret coming to this world.” Mag made him lose all his teeth and the poison hidden in his tooth with one punch. Then, he held him with one hand, and went to the north of the city with Irina, who had cleaned up the scene.
