265: Chapter 265 An Extraordinary Person

In the tallest central building of Shenhai City.

Shangguan Lingwei was furious upon hearing the latest report from Ouyang Yunzheng.

Her once gentle and beautiful face was now twisted with rage.

Her usually pleasant voice was now strained: "Ouyang! Do you realize what it will mean if that woman doesn't die?!"

"You kept swearing that those two assassins would guarantee the mission's completion! And now? You still let that Japan woman escape?"

Ouyang Yunzheng was also frustrated; this shouldn't have happened!

Yezaki Insui had provided him with everything: Saionji Sawa's room layout and the building's security details for tonight.

And he had passed all that information to the two assassins.

Yet that woman still managed to escape? No, she hadn't quite escaped yet; Yezaki Insui was already helping the assassins by blocking Himura.

Saionji Sawa must die!

"Godmother, please calm down. There was actually a hidden mechanism where that woman sleeps. No one expected that. However, my inside source says the assassins will catch up soon."

"Perhaps news of her death will arrive momentarily!"

Shangguan Lingwei took a deep breath: "It had better be as you say! Otherwise, I won't forgive you!"

Actually, Ouyang Yunzheng was right; although Saionji Sawa had left first under Himura Ryusai's cover...

...the Katana Building was hundreds of meters high. Even if she took the dedicated high-speed elevator, it would take a lot of time to reach the ground.

Death Knell and Demon Dog were both top assassins from the Black List, and Demon Dog was particularly skilled at tracking.

Death Knell immediately reached a silent understanding with Demon Dog; he would use a paraglider to descend rapidly to the ground.

Meanwhile, Demon Dog would continue chasing Saionji Sawa inside the building, driving her toward Death Knell's position.

Saionji Sawa finally saw the elevator numbers point to the second basement level.

Gripping her saber, she ran toward a Nissan GTR. This was Saionji Sawa's favorite car. It turned out this Japan heiress had quite a wild side.

Saionji thought silently: "Now, I can only trust that man! The extraction point he mentioned should be fine, right?"

However, just as she successfully started the car and was about to burst out of the building with a few revs of the engine...

A large-caliber bullet from Death Knell's atonement silver coffin tore through the air, creating a sonic boom!

It slammed directly into the engine bay of Saionji Sawa's GTR!

The vehicle immediately spun out of control. Even though Saionji Sawa gripped the steering wheel tightly, she still crashed into a wall.

With a cold expression, Death Knell approached slowly, holding a silver pistol.

Saionji Sawa timed it perfectly and kicked the car door open.

Frost Mist Enchantress slashed out several arcs of cold light! Even Death Knell, who was well-prepared, couldn't help but retreat several steps.

He evaluated her in his mind; Saionji Sawa's strength was considered very formidable among women.

Unfortunately, she would still die by his hand today.

But Saionji Sawa only wanted to create space for her escape; she wasn't foolish enough to fight Death Knell head-on!

Death Knell found it laughable. Did she think she could escape the bullets from his atonement silver coffin?

Saionji Sawa also smiled. Did she not know he had a gun?

He probably didn't know that she was the disciple of the strongest ninja in Japan!

Although Saionji Sawa's tactical suit was tight-fitting, it could hold quite a few gadgets.

She pulled out a Smoke Pellet and smashed it stylishly onto the ground.

Death Knell's vision was quickly lost in a thick mist.

A silver steel wire shot from Saionji Sawa's sleeve, wrapping around a ventilation pipe on the ceiling of the underground garage.

Her movements were light as she swung over ten meters away, quickly widening the distance between her and Death Knell.

Death Knell rushed out of the smoke and slapped his head in frustration. This damn Japan woman was truly cunning.

Saionji Sawa didn't dare waste time stealing another vehicle and could only rely on her own feet to flee.

However, she forgot that besides Death Knell, there was also Demon Dog, who was best at tracking!

Just as she thought she had finally run out of the underground garage, Demon Dog had already circled around from the outside, preparing to perform a pincer attack with Death Knell.

Saionji Sawa felt a sense of dread. Was she really going to die here today? How could these two assassins be so persistent?

It seemed she really shouldn't have tried to be clever by driving them out earlier.

Otherwise, Ouyang Yunzheng wouldn't have had the opportunity to seize.

Saionji Sawa gritted her teeth and drew Frost Mist Enchantress. "I'll fight you to the end!"

Demon Dog didn't dare be careless; this woman was like a spirited wild mare.

With bone claws on both fists, he engaged in combat with Saionji Sawa.

Although Saionji Sawa's strength was inferior to Demon Dog's, Frost Mist Enchantress was sharp and light; swinging it at high speeds consumed almost no stamina.

Relying on her eerie sword techniques, she made it impossible for Demon Dog to find a way to break through for the time being.

At that moment, the security guards from the first floor of the Katana Building finally arrived and joined the fray.

Saionji Sawa found another opportunity to escape.

Once again, she shot a steel cable from her sleeve, hooking onto a flagpole outside the building.

Using the pull of the mechanism, she leaped up, jumping from the flagpole to the top of a street lamp.

Then, relying on her impressive Qinggong, she moved through the air like the Scout Regiment from Attack on Titan, quickly moving forward and disappearing into the night.

Demon Dog quickly dealt with several security guards and, together with Death Knell, continued the pursuit.

A chase under the night sky of Shanghai was intensely unfolding.

A team of Shanghai police watched the surveillance monitors intently.

"Should we move out? Those two assassins have appeared again!"

Captain Li thought for a moment: "Alright! Act immediately, but you must prioritize safety."

"Tonight, regardless of which side they're on, their strength far exceeds that of ordinary people. We cannot fight them head-on before the armed police arrive. Focus on preventing the situation from escalating!"

"Yes! Let's go!"

Police cars set out one after another, their sirens sounding particularly piercing in the night.

Death Knell and Demon Dog, with their keen hearing, grew even more anxious. Tonight, the two of them had utterly lost face.

They hadn't even managed to kill a single Japan woman.

But regarding this encounter, neither side really had much to say.

If Saionji Sawa didn't have some skill, how could her family have arranged for her to be in charge of such a massive business in Huaxia?

Meanwhile, Su Nange, who was currently in Qiantang, got out of bed after having already gone to sleep.

He went out onto the balcony to smoke.

In the January weather, he was only wearing a black tank top, yet he didn't feel the slightest bit of cold.

Tingting knew he had gotten up and brought him a piece of clothing.

Su Nange smiled: "It's cold outside, go back to sleep. I'll come in after I finish smoking."

Ye Tingting asked: "Are there some big things happening lately?"

Su Nange didn't want her and Su Yao to get involved in the complex struggle.

"It's nothing, don't overthink it. Just live your life happily."

Tingting felt that although she was with Su Nange, their worlds were drifting further apart. She felt very uneasy.

Su Nange saw through her thoughts. "Don't worry, no matter where I go, I'll take you with me."

"Be good, go back to sleep."

Ye Tingting smiled, nodded, and obediently went back.

Su Nange took another drag of his cigarette; a deep inhale at night was truly refreshing.

He looked at the Gold Leaf in his hand and thought to himself that a few months ago, he couldn't have afforded such a thing.

But now, he didn't even have to buy them. He could get several cartons just by sitting down with any boss.

Even Song Xiaotian would occasionally bring over some high-end goods.

But Su Nange found it strange; why was it that now, he found it even harder to just lie low? New storms were coming one after another.

Especially tonight, perhaps the entire landscape of Shanghai would be changed.

What kind of changes would occur between Lu Jinhong and the Shangguan Family?

And what were that traitor by Saionji Sawa's side and Ouyang Yunzheng plotting?

Also, what was the relationship between those two incredibly powerful mysterious assassins and these various factions?

Why did they suddenly appear in Shanghai?

Each of these matters made Su Nange feel like his head was about to explode, not to mention the situation in the Capital!

It felt like a massive whirlpool, and he was like a small boat.

Fortunately, he now realized that Zhou Bingzheng, this provincial governor, was truly deep and unfathomable.

Even he couldn't see through the man's shrewdness.

However, Su Nange was increasingly able to grasp some of the logic. No wonder on one hand he wanted to solidify the relationship between him and Zhou Wanqing as cousins...

...while on the other hand, he turned a blind eye to his and Zhou Wanqing's morbid affection for each other.

Hehe, this old fox—no wonder he could rise from nothing to the pinnacle of life.

So Su Nange was curious: which faction would this provincial governor arrange to protect Saionji Sawa tonight?
