Chapter 283 - Assassins Surfaced
Still, the maximum capacity between the two tiers was fundamentally different. Qin Feng’s confidence stemmed from the ancient warrior’s habit of conserving energy when landing punches. No D-tier would go all out on Qin Feng from the start so he would still stand a chance if he played his card right.
Qin Feng released a long breath and smiled satisfyingly.
He turned on the bounty hunter network and was irked after reading the comments tagging his account.
“Heh, I have been listed in the darknet’s wanted list. This must be the Xue family’s doing.”
The darknet’s wanted list was equivalent to the bounty hunter network. To a certain extent, the former was even more attractive to bounty hunters.
The official network only listed criminals who had committed heinous felonies.
On the other hand, anyone’s head could be given a price in the darknet. As long as the price was right, there would be ample of willing assassins in the underworld to do the killing for you.
“Three billion, not a bad price.” Qin Feng sneered.
This was when the doorbell in his room rang. A sweet lady’s voice reached his ears from outside the door.
“Good evening, Sir. Room service.”
‘Room service?’ Qin Feng opened the door calmly.
At the doorstep, a pretty lady in a nurse costume stood flirtatiously in front of Qin Feng. Her make-up made her look stunningly beautiful.
“Sir, welcome to Niumeng Grand Hotel. Here, we provide free massage services to help you relax,” The young lady said and tried to barge in with her trolley. She was only one hundred fifty meters tall and the trolley seemed to be too heavy for her size. Her shirt was slightly exposed as she exerted force, and her cleavage was left bare to Qin Feng’s eyes.
Qin Feng stopped her and said in a deep voice, “I did not ask for room service.”
“As I said, this is free of charge,” The lady winked at Qin Feng.
Qin Feng scoffed at her. “Ms. Tian, save your breath. You can’t kill anyone with such lousy trickery.”
Her identity was already exposed when Qin Feng scanned the area with his conscious energy before he opened the door.
Thousand-face Enchantress—Tian Sheng.
She was an assassin who liked to use her beauty to bewitch her target. She was good at impersonation and would often assassinate the male target when they were the least vigilant.
It might be a cheap trick but this strategy often had a high success rate on the male target.
Qin Feng had met with Tian Sheng once in his past life. She was already a mistress to a B-tier aptitude user then and no longer worked as an assassin. He clearly remembered her conscious energy and would immediately recognize her even if she were to come to him with an entirely different face.
Tian Sheng did not panic but instead put on an innocent face. “What are you talking about, Mister? My surname is Zhou, not Tian.” She drew closer and whispered in a coquettish tone, “Don’t you like me, Mister?”
She blinked hopefully but Qin Feng was unmoved. He took out a dagger and aimed it on her neck.
Tian Sheng finally yielded her disguise and evaded the attack because she could feel that Qin Feng was serious about beheading her.
“My, my. Not only are you a cruel and cold-blooded Bloodhunter but you also do not have the slightest sense of chivalry!”
Tian Sheng’s tone had completely changed. Without the imitation, she was an entirely different person from the alluring lady she pretended to be.
She flipped over the towel on the trolley and pulled out a decomposition blaster under it. In the next moment, the crystalline blaster was aimed straight at Qin Feng’s face.
Blitz!
The gun released a shot of radiance right at Qin Feng, forcing Qin Feng to retreat quickly. The radiance grazed the wall and immediately corroded it, leaving behind a huge hole. The brick underneath turned into crystal and shattered on the ground.
Blitz! Blitz!
Tian Sheng did not loosen her pursuit and fired another few blasts.
Qin Feng raised his hand and a chair flew right at Tian Sheng in response.
Blitz!
The chair was pulverized after being hit by the decomposition blaster.
When Tian Sheng looked up, she had lost track of Qin Feng, only seeing a snowy beast residing in the room.
It was a beautiful three-tailed fox, no matter how you looked at it.
But Tian Sheng could feel a shiver run down her spine.
The fox’s eyes were filled with rage and great impatience. Other than that, there was also a subtle allure hidden within the beast’s sight.
“Look at me!”
“Ugh!” Tian Sheng was distracted for a moment.
That was more than enough for Qin Feng to sneak up to her from behind.
Poof!
A dagger wrapped with internal force instantly penetrated Tian Sheng’s heart from the back.
Tian Sheng’s pupils dilated as she staggered forward.
Qin Feng pulled out the dagger and blood spilled everywhere on the floor and the wall.
“How… ugh… is this… happening…”
Life slowly sapped away from Tian Sheng after her heart was punctured.
Qin Feng assimilated Tian Sheng’s consciousness after she was dead. She was only a low-tier gunner and could not harm Qin Feng at all after her seductive plan was seen through.
“I want to change to a different room. Look at my bed sheet!” Bai Li complained angrily.
Even if Bai Li did not complain, the room was no longer in a stay-able condition. However, Qin Feng did not call the reception first and instead contacted the bounty hunter network.
Qin Feng delivered three heads over to them as soon as he arrived in Niumeng. It was only natural for the organization to be extra attentive toward Qin Feng.
They immediately sent someone over right after Qin Feng called them. The agent was shown to the dead female body once he arrived at the hotel room.
“I remember that Tian Sheng’s bounty is around 500 million, am I right?” Her bounty was even higher than that of the Xue descendents. That was because she had committed multiple murders as an assassin.
Gulp.
The agent ran a quick DNA test. Technology had advanced to a point where such a test could be completed on the go within minutes. Tian Sheng’s identity was soon confirmed, and the agent ratified that Qin Feng had completed yet another manhunt.
It was only after they had completed the procedure that Qin Feng requested the hotel staff to change his room. The concierges talked to Qin Feng with great respect after they saw the extent of the damage done to the room.
“Stop accepting new customers today. We already have our hands full with one troublesome guest. We can’t afford to let another fight erupt here.” This was the order the manager received after he reported the matter to the real owner of the hotel—One of the administrators of Niumeng City.
The owner’s face darkened after learning that the customer was none other than Bloodhunter, who had made a name for himself by killing three infamous Dark Coalition members.
The owner understood the severity of the matter and ordered the immediate closure of the hotel. Meanwhile, Qin Feng was automatically upgraded to a presidential suite and was provided the highest class of service.
The night was not exactly a peaceful one, but that did not stop Qin Feng from having a good night’s sleep.
Meanwhile, a lot of eyes were wide awake and spying on him in the dark.
“Three billion is no easy task. Even Thousand-face has failed.”
“Hmph, that b*tch has no skills anyway!”
“We should lay low for now. After all, we are still inside Niumeng City. It’s not worth risking our lives for the money before we are sure about the situation.”
“Let’s be patient and see how things develop. We are clearly not the only ones aiming for his head.”
Some of them who received the kill order had grouped up, while a few brave souls had decided to act alone.
The different parties were wary of each other since everyone was targeting the same goal—Qin Feng’s head, and the three billion reward offered by the Xue family.
The first night passed without further commotion despite the tension as all parties tacitly decided to wait it out.
