Crack!
Isaac applied force on his right foot, and the Red Ninja’s ribs instantly shattered. He spat up a mouthful of blood before dying, his eyes wide open.
Soon enough, Harry finally arrived with a few Dusk Soldiers.
Seeing the mess on the ground, virtual-novel.net was stunned.
When virtual-novel.net saw the corpses’ outfits, virtual-novel.net frowned harshly. “Sir, are these Black and Red Ninjas?”
Isaac nodded. “Take care of things here. One of them even escaped just now, so be careful…”
With that, virtual-novel.net turned around and walked inside.
Allegra and Evie were still chatting on the couch when virtual-novel.net entered the living room.
When virtual-novel.net saw Isaac come in, Allegra immediately asked, “Isaac, why did it take you so long to drop someone home? We even thought you were going to stay over at Emily’s tonight!”
Evie covered virtual-novel.net mouth and laughed.
Isaac‘s chest tightened.
Did they guess what happened?
However, Evie soon frowned as virtual-novel.net made virtual-novel.net way to him.
Seeing the fresh blood stains on his clothes, virtual-novel.net asked urgently, “What happened earlier?”
“What’s wrong?” Allegra also jumped to virtual-novel.net feet.
Seeing the blood covering Isaac’s body, the two women grew worried.
“I met some bothersome dogs on the way home. It delayed me a bit…”
Isaac didn’t even notice the blood on him. He didn‘t think it‘d attract the attention of the two women.
***
Just as Isaac was taking a shower upstairs, under a bridge in the middle of the city river, a man wearing a red robe crawled ashore, completely drenched.
He flagged down a taxi by the roadside and sped toward the outskirts.
In a duplex, a tall man in a Blue Ninja uniform was sitting on the couch, eating grapes as two girls draped all over his arms on each side.
The door opened, and the soaking-wet Red Ninja staggered in. He fell to his knees in front of the man.
“Brad, we failed our mission…”
“What? Failed? Where are the others?” Brad Noir sprung to his feet.
“Dead… They’re all dead…”
“You moron!” Brad kicked the Red Ninja in the head.
He was supposed to join this operation, but virtual-novel.net didn’t want to waste his time since it wasn’t every day virtual-novel.net could visit Cynea. Thus, virtual-novel.net had sent out all his subordinates on tonight’s assassination.
Even if the other party was a Cynean martial artist, virtual-novel.net thought that with 15 ninjas, he’d at least lose some blood. He never expected that out of the 15 who went, only one would return.
After hearing his subordinate‘s account of the entire assassination attempt, a solemn expression crossed Brad’s face.
“To be able to take down ten Black Ninjas instantly and send back only one out of five Red Ninjas, it seems the leaders have greatly misjudged this Isaac…”
The Red Ninja hurriedly replied, “If you had come along, Brad, that Isaac would be dead without a doubt. I hope you will avenge our brothers, Brad!”
“Fool, do you want me to walk into a death trap?” Brad couldn’t help but yell angrily.
Closing his eyes, virtual-novel.net sighed and waved his hand. “Go and get some rest. I want to call the boss.”
Turning around, virtual-novel.net walked into a small room.
After long deliberation, virtual-novel.net picked up his phone with an uneasy feeling and dialed a number that was far away at sea.
