ang saw that he seemed to have upset everyone and decided not to say anything more. He sat down at a nearby seat, thinking: If this kid doesn't have money, wait till it's time to pay the bill; I'll se...Chapter 1051: Murders in the Dark

"Really" Xia Tian was a bit surprised, "Can it be Could Yiyi really have leaked my whereabouts to the capital"

"It probably has nothing to do with Xiao Yin Yi. However, husband, we've caused quite a stir recently, and our photos have been taken in many places. If someone were to truly investigate, they would eventually uncover our true identities; it's just a matter of time," Ning Jie was somewhat worried. "Also, Zhang Dan somehow ended up here. According to Shi Jin Song, the people who kidnapped Zhang Dan are actually assassins targeting us. After learning about our real identities from Zhang Dan, they fled in fear. In short, there should be more and more people in Wanggang City who know our true identities."

"I didn't want any trouble either, but they always seem to seek it out with us. I can't help it," Xia Tian muttered. There was no other way; though he often tried to keep a low profile, his nature just wouldn't allow for that. Especially now, being forced to be here made him even more unhappy and prone to explosions. It was precisely because of this that he destroyed the bus and resorted to violence in obtaining Xiao Yin Yi.

"Husband, perhaps we should leave this place and find somewhere else," Ning Jie suggested after some thought. "I've been contacting Song Xiong these days too; although he isn't in the capital, he knows about the movements of the Song family. According to him, they aren't really paying attention here at present, and Song Yumei has mostly just been practicing her martial arts; it seems her body hasn't fully recovered yet."

"Of course she can't be fully recovered; for that to happen, she would need my help. But I won't do it," Xia Tian was confident in this.

"Then, should we leave this place" Ning Jie asked softly.

"Where would we go if we left here" Xia Tian was a little reluctant to leave. It wasn't that he liked the place; rather, it was because leaving meant going to another unfamiliar place. Therefore, he preferred staying where he was since things had been going well for him and he was gradually getting used to the surroundings.

"Honey, how about this I'll have Song Xiong keep an eye on any movements from the Song family. If anyone comes to Wishful Port City from their side, Song Xiong should know. We can stay in Wishful Port City for now and try not to go out much. Let’s be low-key." Seeing that Xia Tian didn't want to leave, Ning Jie came up with this suggestion. "These few days, you focus on training at home and absorbing the Yin Fire. If there are any developments from the Song family, Song Xiong will inform me, and we'll leave immediately afterward. What do you think"

"Okay, let's do that then." Xia Tian agreed readily. "Miserly wife, I’ll go absorb some Yin Fire first."

At this point, Xia Tian felt he should spend more time each day absorbing the Yin Fire to return as soon as possible to a place he was familiar with.

Middle of the night.

A black sedan was parked silently by the roadside. At first glance, it seemed to be empty inside, but in fact, two incredibly sexy and beautiful women were sitting inside—one with black hair and the other with purple hair, none other than Avril and Isabella.

About 500 meters away from them, there was a villa where the owner, their target for tonight, was a businessman named Chen Fu. According to records, Chen Fu was a somewhat famous local businessman who owned an electronics manufacturing factory. He was around fifty years old, divorced from his wife with his daughter living with her mother, so he currently lived alone. However, this didn’t mean that he had no women in his life; he had at least three regular mistresses.

"Instructor, Chen Fu returned home at nine o'clock with one of his mistresses. Before that, I checked and found no one was inside their house and the surroundings were normal, nothing unusual. It should be the best time to act now. Let me go," Isabella said softly.

"I'll go." Avril firmly rejected her request, "Wait for me in the car."

"Instructor, shouldn't I accompany you" Isabella was somewhat uneasy, "With so many recent tasks, it's safer if we work together."

"No need. If anything unexpected happens, it would be better to have someone outside." Avril shook her head, "Besides, for such a small job worth one million dollars, there shouldn't be any danger. Wait for me for a moment; I'll be back in five minutes at most."

Avril pushed open the car door and quickly rushed towards the villa. In her opinion, this kind of mission could never be dangerous; the target was an ordinary person without a bodyguard. Even if she wasn't as strong as she is now, killing someone like him would still be easy. If it weren’t for how bored and frustrated she felt, she wouldn’t have bothered to take on such a low-level task.

For Avril, who grew up in a violent environment, killing people was nothing wrong; she simply saw it as part of her job. She didn't feel guilty about it herself, even if others would consider her actions sinful. Fundamentally speaking, they were merely tools, no different from knives or guns—guns don’t have sin, only the person holding them does. Therefore, Avril always felt at ease when killing someone.

Since Xia Tian had washed away her old self, Avril's eyes and ears were much more sensitive than before. As a result, she found it very easy to kill now. She quickly arrived outside the villa and jumped inside in one swift motion. Soon after, she heard sounds of a man and woman fighting upstairs. So, she immediately jumped through a window onto the second floor, fired two shots, and with two brief screams, her mission was completed.

"There wasn't even any challenge to this!" Avril thought it was very boring. She didn’t want to look at the ugly body of her target, so she didn't go forward to confirm his death. She believed in her shooting skills and felt no need for confirmation. So after firing the shots, she immediately jumped back out through the window.

"Boom!" A violent explosion suddenly came from behind as Avril was still mid-air; a massive shockwave also struck her from behind.

"Damn it! It’s another trap!" Avril felt like going crazy. Why did everything go wrong for her lately

Even though Avril jumped off the villa just a few seconds before the explosion, some of the blast waves still affected her. Fortunately, she now had true energy to protect herself and wasn't harmed by the airwaves. The blast simply caused her to land faster, and she instinctively landed on the ground in an ungraceful manner, which made her feel quite annoyed. If she found out who set up this trap, she would definitely stab that person with all the throwing knives she had!

"Damn it, don't let me find out who you are..." After the airwaves passed, Avril leaped back to her feet and muttered angrily, but before she could finish her curse, a sudden sense of danger hit her, accompanied by a faint gunshot.

A bullet was rapidly flying towards her. Avril quickly used the Ethereal Steps to dodge it swiftly. At this moment, she couldn't help but think of Xia Qian and how he had taught her these steps, which had saved her life many times in recent days. Otherwise, even if she wasn't dead now, she would have been shot multiple times.

However, instead of angering Avril, this gunshot made her happy because it allowed her to pinpoint the enemy's location. She suddenly vanished from where she was and turned into a shadow that flew towards another three-story villa about several hundred meters away, heading straight for the sniper position on its rooftop, where she could even see the silhouette of someone.

The distance of several hundred meters meant nothing to Avril at this moment; it took her less than ten seconds. She quickly rushed into the villa, feeling excited because her sharp senses told her that there wasn't just one person inside but multiple individuals. Tonight was going to be a night filled with killing!

"Bang bang bang..." Avril didn't stop moving and fired as she climbed up the stairs, each bullet hitting its target precisely. In no time at all, seven or eight people lay dead on the villa's ground floor while Avril made her way up to the rooftop terrace.

"Bang bang..." Gunshots rang out, but it was the other party that fired first.

Avril took another step with her ethereal gait and quickly moved aside while holstering her gun; at the same time, she shot both throwing knives.

"Ouch!" A pained groan sounded, followed by the cessation of gunfire. Avril's throwing knives landed precisely on the other party’s wrists, causing their pistol to drop to the ground.

"I'll see which bastard is out to get me!" Avril lunged toward her assailant and stopped just three meters away from them. Even though it was night, she could still make out the other party's appearance with her current eyesight, causing her to be greatly shocked: "York Is that you"

Avril was truly shocked; she never would have imagined that the man who wanted to blow her up and had just shot at her coldly was York. Because this York wasn't anyone else—she previously ranked second in terms of fame, and theoretically first now as a killer. More importantly, both York and Avril were members of the Shadow Team!

"So it's not only the two people from the intelligence group who are traitors; you're also one!" Avril glared at York with bated breath, her anger flaring up: "York, I'll ask you again. Is that mysterious billionaire being offered a $50 million bounty also you"roved slightly compared to before, but it still wasn’t enough to arouse his interest, "And also, the next time you dare call me an animal, I’ll really hit you!""Teacher, I’m wrong, I have sinned. I sh...
