Misaki remembered that the last time she was ever under protection like this, was back at qi condensation school before middle school.
At that time, there had been a group of bandits that kidnapped her and demanded a sum of one-hundred million yuan. Of course, that was bullsh*t. They got found the next day due to the search warrant.
The next day, the Yunhua Lotus Group hired powerful cultivators to clear out the criminals and assaulters in the school's vicinity, clearing over one-hundred thousand acres!
Ever since, top organizations had put Misaki at the top of their list of people they should absolutely not mess with.
Unfortunately, it was a little different this time.
Shadow Emblem was a world class killing organization. And safe to say, if they want to kill somebody, they'll do it no matter what.
In the Teacher's office, Misaki was bored. She was the only one there, sitting. And she couldn't help but think about Xero — Will they be able to hangout more these days?
Ancient Relic noticed her bored face and took out a fa gao from his drawer, and whilst offering her, said, "Here, you want some? What's wrong?"
Misaki eyes widened a little as she looked at the open drawer, he had more snacks in there than in my pantry!
Misaki sighed, and shook her head. This wasn't the first time that something like this had happened to her, but she felt jittery inside at this particular time.
This whole assassination crap was happening because of the date at Grand Paradise. When she tried to recall the moments of that specific moment, she felt something twitch in her head. Like she somehow forgot it?
In the end, she had been rescued by a "mysterious" man. But this man who had protected Misaki and Xero, who was it?
"Hey, let me tell you something. Classmate Zhang is very lucky for you to be this worried and troubled for him."
Ancient Relic knew a thing or two about dating and he had also been young once. So he naturally understood her. "If you want to be closer with him, you need to adapt to his taste and give him what he loves the most. Understand?"
Misaki blinked at that enlightenment, and she blushed, "Give him what he loves? But… I don't know what he cherishes the most…"
Ancient Relic smirked, and brought out a pack of "Little Panda Custard Buns, Strawberry Flavor Deluxe."
"Hehe. I know a thing about dating you know? Even I'm fat — in my prime, I was bagging girls left and right."
"Cus.. custard bun snacks?"
"That's right. I have carefully observed him these past few days, and I realized that he buys three packs per day! He really loves these snacks, especially with the seasoning that's inside."
Misaki couldn't help asking, "Wait, do you sell those snacks?"
Ancient Relic sighed woefully, "Well, I would sell these… But the Qinghai Education Policy says otherwise. Our monthly salary hasn't increased, so that's a bummer."
"…" She was lost in thought as she stared at the custard bun snack on the table.
…
Misaki's imagination ran wild as the assassination attempt had officially started.
In the male bathroom, an assassin had emerged from the vent, and knocked one of the school guards in the hall. He slipped into their uniform, with ease, and walked down the hall.
This was the second Golden Badge Master, Zhao Yun. Much like his brother, he was a master at Golden Interior Stage and he was not to be messed with…
Zhao Yun's goal was simple. Kill the target, and earn the prize money offered by Shadow Emblem to its killers, it was a win-win situation.
But unbeknownst to him…
Ancient Relic emerged from the teacher's office, with a slight smirk.
Zhao Yun felt that his Emblem was being looked down upon. They really sent the old fatty to the rescue?
Alright then…
Zhao Yun dashed forward with blinding speed, and in lighting, a flying knife was sent in his direction!
Having already knew Zhao Yun's killing intent, his face darkened. He firmly clipped the knife blade between his two fingers!
Misaki who was watching from the large screen in the teacher's office, was purely shocked. He really was a master!
Zhao Yun's eyes widened a little, how the hell did he catch it so firmly; was he aura farming?!
That blade was enhanced with Qi, and was able to pierce the chest of a Golden Interior. Not to mention it was as fast as a bullet! And he caught it like that?
Zhao Yun felt that, he sounded and acted familiar…
"Who are you? Have I seen you before?"
"It doesn't matter who I am." He said, with a chuckle.
Zhao Yun's face darkened; the fact that this man, who seemed as if he was an expert — was among the staff at this seemingly ordinary school, was just too absurd to be true!
But now wasn't the time to concern himself about this.
What mattered to him, was to eliminate Misaki and that would be considered a successful mission.
With a shake of his hand, a black silencer gun was immediately formed in his hand as he aimed it at Ancient Relic.
"Die, fatass!"
The tranquilizer was as fast as a bullet, and Zhao Yun was confident that this would put the man down.
Ancient Relic yawned as he looked at tip of the tranquilizer heading at him. He stood as still as a boulder.
…
Miraculously, Ancient Relic caught it again! This time, while munching on a fa gao. He had a craving in a critical situation!
Zhao Yun was immediately petrified; is he indirectly ragebaiting him?!
"Shadow Emblem's killers are declining by the day. You call this a top organization?" Ancient Relic sighed quietly.
Then there was dead silence.
"…" Misaki was too shocked to even say anything
Zhao Yun knew for a fact that he was somebody he previously encountered or heard of.
He knew… that this was man that he shouldn't mess with!
"I… am sorry to have offended you, please forgive me!" Zhao Yun bowed, as he withdrew.
"On and on and on… Is this looking down at me?" Ancient Relic threw the tranquilizer in the nearest trash, and brought out a piece of sharp chalk.
"If you're going to hurt my student, then you're going to have to pay the price…"
Zhao Yun was full with dread and anticipation, "What is Director going to do?"
"You'll find out."
"I was just thinking… I should discipline you." Ancient Relic smiled a bit.
Wzzt-!
The chalk immediately pierced his chest, and Zhao Yun fell to the ground.
