Samsara Online
chapter-66

"A stormy night like this is the best time for a murder and the best time for us to move. Rain can cover vision, it can cover sound. The target is the only daughter of the Gu family, Gu Qianxue. Although she is apparently living with a family of two normal young people, we cannot let down our guard and act carelessly".

The last time someone tried to kill her was 5 months ago and 10 people from the mercenary group Blood Wings were killed in her place. That old Gu Pojun must surely have taken steps to protect his daughter.

In a normal house on the outskirts of Shanghai, a group of 5 people were having a secret meeting. The person who just spoke was a tall man dressed in expensive clothes. Although you couldn't see his face, as he was looking out the window, from the tone of his voice and aura he seemed to be used to giving orders.

Three of the four people in the room were silent and looked at a blond man with blue eyes. From the physical characteristics this person was undoubtedly a foreigner.

The blond man stood up and said in a serious tone: "All the targets I am aiming at are ten feet under at this moment. A 20-year-old brat and two women who can do anything to stop me?".

Although the blond man was speaking in a serious tone of voice, from his words anyone could tell that he didn't seem worried in the least. However, this also makes sense since this man's name is Edward Silver and he is among the 10 strongest ESPERS in the United States.

However, unlike most ESPERS, Edward became a mercenary. After being hired for a terrifying amount of money, he arrived in China to fulfill his mission. To assassinate Gu Qianxue.

The man in the expensive clothes said nothing else and simply nodded.

Seeing this, Edward secretly mocked and left the room. In less than 5 seconds he disappeared in the middle of the storm in the direction of the Golden Emperor Villa Complex.

***

Golden Emperor Villa Complex, 4 AM.

The heavy rain continued to fall for a long time, with no sign of stopping even now. The rain hitting the window pane was especially heavy. The very occasional sound of thunder and flash of lightning could be heard almost once every twenty or thirty seconds.

Xie Feng, dressed in a shirt and a pair of black sleeping pants, was completely asleep.

Gu Qianxue, dressed in a pink pajamas with cartoon-like prints of a certain square yellow character and pants, was hugging him tightly.

When he felt her suddenly shaking because of the strong sound of thunder, Xie Feng, still asleep and unconsciously hugged her, bringing her closer to his body.

Gu Qianxue smiled seemingly relieved and happy as she slept, feeling the person's arm around her.

4:27 AM.

Xie Feng's eyes suddenly opened slowly and he stared silently at the girl next to him for a moment. Not knowing the reason, he had the urge to gently kiss her forehead, so he did.

Then, he removed his right arm that was holding her and carefully removed Gu Qianxue's arms and legs that were catching him like an octopus.

Xie Feng stood up slowly and started walking towards the door of the room in silence.

"Xie Feng, where are you going?". A sleepy but worried voice made him stop his steps. He looked back and saw Gu Qianxue sitting on the bed and, by the flash of lightning he could see her face.

Although Gu Qianxue's eyes were closed, he could see that she was looking in his direction. Sometimes Xie Feng is confused and surprised by the acute intuition this innocent girl has in front of him.

"Oh, did I wake you up? I'm sorry, I suddenly felt a little thirsty. Do you want to drink something? I'll get it for you". He asked Xie Feng in a soft tone of voice, because even though they are awake now he would still be upset if right after waking up a person starts screaming out loud.

Gu Qianxue relaxed her expression and also responded in a soft voice: "Okay, juice please".

Xie Feng nodded and said, "All right, go back to bed and wait a minute".

After seeing Gu Qianxue go back to bed, Xie Feng left the room and closed the door behind him. He opened the door of the room in front of him and there he saw Xie Yao sleeping with a peaceful expression on her beautiful face.

Xie Feng closed the door of her room in silence and his body swayed slightly. A fraction of a second later he disappeared from the room.

***

The blond man, Edward Silver was only 200 meters away from reaching Villa nº 9 where Xie Feng and the two girls live.

According to the information given to him by his contractor and the information gathered by him, in this village only lives a man of about 20 years old, a girl of 19 and his target, a girl of 18.

After seeing the pictures with the images of Xie Yao and Gu Qianxue, even a man like Edward who believed to have enjoyed the best beauties was surprised. His main objective in arriving in Shanghai apart from this mission was because the woman who drives him crazy, Shen Xinya is staying in a 5 star hotel near this place.

He promised himself to make her his wife no matter what the cost. But what he did not expect was that the two women who live in this place were almost as beautiful as Shen Xinya. Therefore, he was excited beyond words.

"Doesn't that mean I can enjoy three beauties at the same time?". Edward murmured with a lewd smile on his face.

"I don't think you can enjoy these three beauties you speak of, but you should enjoy the air you breathe while you can".

An indifferent voice removed Edward from his illusion and in a second he drew a dagger from his waist and cut back.

However, behind him there was no one.

Suddenly Edward felt extreme danger and without hesitation he activated his skill. His eyes glowed slightly and his body melted into drops of water.

*BOOM*

Just a second later, a big explosion followed by strong thunder was heard in the middle of the night.

Several meters away, a puddle of water began to rise and soon a human body was completely formed. When Edward looked at where he was standing the first thing he saw was a young man barefoot and dressed as if he had just gotten out of bed.

However, what was surprising was that even though the rain was falling like a deluge, the clothes, the hair, the feet..... no part of the young man's body in front of him was wet.

When Edward looked down, his eyes widened when he saw a hole almost 10 meters wide under the young man's right foot.

If that kick had struck him just now, Edward would have exploded like a watermelon falling from the fifth floor.

This young man was naturally Xie Feng, who had just left his home.

Because he has control of almost all the air in the atmosphere at several thousand cubic kilometers, everything that happens within that range cannot avoid his sense. However, Xie Feng ignores most things and only when a person is strange to him does he give attention.

Even while sleeping Xie Feng unconsciously continues to do the same.

Edward's voice resounded in the midst of the strong storm: "Hey, who the hell are you? Are you an ESPER based on physical strength sent by Gu Pojun? Give it up my friend, you are still too young and I don't want to hurt you. My name is Edward Silver, I am the seventh ESPER more....-"

Suddenly, Edward's voice was cut off. He looked straight ahead and saw Xie Feng disappear before his eyes like a ghost.

Before Edward could react, he saw a pair of black eyes just a few inches away staring at him in fury like a lion.

Without giving Edward time to think, Xie Feng clenched his right fist and struck the man's head.

*AUGE*

Edward's head exploded into a million drops of water. The force of Xie Feng's fist also caused an air bullet to hit the ground behind it, creating a hole 20 centimeters wide.

Xie Feng raised his right foot and like a whip hit the blond man's chest in front of him.

*AUGE*

Edward's whole body exploded into pieces.

However, Xie Feng did not leave yet and looked forward with indifference.

A few seconds later, a puddle of rainwater moved slowly and after 20 seconds a person appeared.

This person was Edward, however at this moment he was holding his head and chest while screaming in pain and could barely stand. Xie Feng looked at him with indifference and after a moment began to walk slowly towards him.

A thin transparent layer covered his body and when the water drops fell they were repelled so his body was completely dry.

Xie Feng's eyes lit up slightly and became light blue. For the first time since he came, he said: "ESPER based on physical strength? What the hell are you talking about?".

*AUGE!!*

A sphere of wind exploded out of Xie Feng's body sending Edward flying through the air and away from the puddles of water on the ground.

Xie Feng, with both hands in his pants pockets looked up at Edward flying as if a truck had hit him with indifference and muttered to himself: "Damn, it's less than 5 am but here you are screaming out loud".
