Chapter 9
Hank's words made Su Xiao's eyes light up.
He finally determined the current time point, which is a scene that appeared in the original work, three days before the burning of the Scrap Terminal.
That is to say, within the maximum time limit of his mission, the Scrap Terminal will be burned.
This is undoubtedly good news for Su Xiao. The more chaotic it is, the more opportunities he has. Only in muddy water can one fish.
Hank walked out of the warehouse, as if remembering something, turned his head and said: "Our boss is Brandon Oka. You are also a member of the guard team now, how can you not know the boss's name."
Su Xiao chuckled and nodded.
The two walked out of the warehouse. At this time, the sky was already getting dark, and the streets were full of tired pedestrians.
Through chatting, Su Xiao found out that the burly man he saw earlier, his current "superior" Brandon Oka, had served as the guard leader for nearly ten years, had extensive connections, had contact with officials of all sizes in the palace, and was even summoned by the king.
Su Xiao didn't quite believe these words in Hank's mouth; the other side had a suspicion of flattery.
It might be true that Brandon Oka served as the guard leader for ten years, but the point of extensive connections remains to be verified.
You know, staying in a position for ten years also means that his "superior" is not doing well in the capital.
Just when Hank was about to say goodbye to Su Xiao and leave, Su Xiao took the initiative to speak.
"How about having a drink? I just arrived in the capital today and have many things to ask you for advice."
Hank pretended to be troubled, but under Su Xiao's "warm invitation," the two walked into a tavern.
After a few cups of rice wine, Hank's face was slightly red, his mouth was full of alcohol, and his words were clearly more.
"Let me tell you, if the boss hadn't been unable to control his lower body, he would have entered the palace to serve long ago.
You said who the boss shouldn't have touched, but he had to touch... hiccup~."
Hank hiccuped and stopped halfway through his words, as if he had discovered he had said something wrong.
Su Xiao picked up the wine glass and toasted with Hank. When Hank looked up to drink, the wine in his hand had disappeared.
Drinking in this dangerous mission world is undoubtedly a suicidal act, so Su Xiao didn't drink a drop of wine.
"Forget it, don't talk about it. The boss lives a carefree life every day now and is a regular visitor to Pleasure Street, which is really enviable."
Su Xiao dealt with it casually and poured another cup for Hank.
After three rounds of drinking, it was about seven o'clock in the evening. Su Xiao and Hank parted at the door of the tavern, and the streets were already brightly lit.
Su Xiao lit a cigarette, and amidst the misty smoke, he looked at the departing Hank thoughtfully.
The other side provided him with a lot of information, and at night, it was Su Xiao's time to act.
With one hand on the hilt of his sword, Su Xiao stopped a passerby. The passerby was a bit annoyed at first, but after seeing Su Xiao wearing the guard team's uniform, he was clearly afraid.
"Ask, where is Pleasure Street?"
The passerby showed a smile that all men understand and then pointed the direction for Su Xiao.
This kind of smile and the name Pleasure Street made Su Xiao think about what kind of place Pleasure Street is.
His "superior's" energy is really abundant.
As the lights came on, in a street area with pink and red lights as the main tone.
Both sides of the street are dominated by two-story or three-story pointed-roof buildings. The tops are covered with glazed tiles, and round or square lanterns hang in front of the doors.
The gentle sound of musical instruments is intertwined with the laughter on the street, and many men and women are snuggling together intimately.
On the pavilions by the street, you can vaguely see some women with exposed clothing, holding long, thin pipes in their hands. These women are standing on the pavilions with charming smiles, intending to attract passing guests.
This is Pleasure Street, the flower street of the Pirate World.
On the roof of a pavilion, Su Xiao, dressed in black, squatted on top, holding 【Zhan Long Shan】 in his hand.
After entering the Pirate World, Su Xiao hadn't made a move much, and tonight, he was going to assassinate the first target to pave the way for completing the mission.
A burst of loud laughter came from the street.
This somewhat familiar laughter immediately attracted Su Xiao's gaze. Isn't the person who made the laughter the "superior" he saw during the day?
Brandon Oka was followed by two guards, walking swaggeringly on Pleasure Street.
Pedestrians coming and going hid to the side after seeing Brandon Oka, their expressions a bit cautious.
"Finally here."
Su Xiao hid on the roof, following Brandon Oka and others closely.
Not long after, Brandon Oka and others walked into a pavilion. Su Xiao walked through the night and came to the top of that pavilion.
First waiting for a while, Su Xiao leaped down from the roof, landed silently, and immediately leaned against the wall to avoid being discovered.
With the cover of the night and the dim lights, Su Xiao began to check room by room.
Checking the room didn't require eyes; just sound was enough.
Su Xiao had specially trained this ability. He still remembered Brandon Oka's voice.
After checking three rooms, Su Xiao found his target. There was a conversation in the room, a man and a woman.
"When will you finally 'save me'? Do you have the heart to watch me accompany other men here?"
"Soon, soon, this is the business of the Left Minister, not just a problem that money can solve. I have also been working hard recently. The Left Minister is someone by the king's side..."
Su Xiao listened to the conversation between the two in the room expressionlessly, but the content of their conversation became more and more "nauseating," making him frown.
But it's not the time yet. Su Xiao wants to wait for Oka's most vulnerable moment to give him a fatal blow.
Things went very smoothly. Not long after, bursts of panting came from the room.
Su Xiao slowly unsheathed the long sword at his waist, then pushed open the window gently and flipped into the room without making any sound.
In the room, a man and a woman were entangled together, having sex.
The reason Su Xiao chose this timing was because only now was Oka the most vulnerable.
Every step closer to Oka, Su Xiao was extra careful, like a leopard before preying, walking silently.
Five meters, three meters, one meter.
Su Xiao came behind Oka and slowly raised the long sword in his hand, the tip of the sword aimed at the back of Oka's head.
The woman who was closing her eyes and enjoying herself under Oka didn't know why her eyes suddenly opened and she saw Su Xiao holding a sharp blade.
The woman showed horror and subconsciously wanted to scream. Oka also noticed the woman's terrified expression.
But, everything was too late.
Holding the hilt with both hands, Su Xiao stabbed Oka's back of the head with all his might.
"Pfft."
The long sword pierced directly through the back of Oka's head, and the sharp tip of the sword pierced out from Oka's mouth as if piercing a piece of paper.
The long sword didn't lose its momentum. After being stained with blood, the tip of the sword pierced the woman's eye socket under Oka and then sank deeply into the tatami under the woman.
The two people pierced by the long sword were like fish on the shore, their bodies twitching violently. One was injured in the spine and mouth, and the other was pierced through the brain. Neither of them could scream, so they didn't attract anyone's attention.
Su Xiao's strike was precisely calculated.
If he only killed Oka, the woman under Oka would scream immediately. At that time, the guards at the door would rush into the room, and Su Xiao's situation would be dangerous.
The physical values of civilians in the Pirate World are very strong, let alone guards?
One strike, two lives, without mercy, Su Xiao's killing skills are far beyond most assassins.
This is also why Reincarnation Paradise chose him to be a Hunter.
A Hunter is not just special because of their talent; they must also have the courage to kill.
