"Cough cough … Ren, mission failed … cough … cough …" His breathing grew weaker and weaker, while the ferocious gaze that had been honed from many years of training gradually turned into fear. "I don't want to die, save me, my position …"
A faint smile hung on Zhao Zijun's face as he stood in front of the control panel. "Don't worry, we've already locked onto your position. The people who will save you will arrive very soon. Before that, let's talk about something interesting. How did you fail? How did you end up in such a state? I want to know the process. "
"Save … save me! Young master, save me … "The black-cloaked figure grew agitated.
With a faint smile, Zhao Zijun replied. "Relax. Being too agitated isn't good for your body. You have to know that you're currently bleeding profusely. At such a time, it's better for you to talk about other things to divert your attention."
The black-cloaked figure's eyes dimmed. Appearing to have consumed too much of his physical strength due to his agitated emotions, his breathing grew weaker and weaker, before he muttered out a single syllable.
"… target is very strong … sneak attack failed."
His voice grew softer and softer, as though he was about to say something else. However, it was already completely inaudible. His head drooped down, and not a single sound came from him.
"Truly useless. You can't do things well, and you don't even know how to speak. What's the point of keeping you alive?" Zhao Zijun sighed, before gently pressing a red button.
A violent explosion rang out from the screen, before the desolate scene turned into a chaotic mess of snowflakes.
"What a pleasing sound." Zhao Zijun closed his eyes, appearing to enjoy the instant of pleasure from the explosion.
He loved to watch the joy brought by the despair of being infatuated with power, only to be destroyed by it.
In the Zhao Family, one of the 10 Great Families of the Federation, Zhao Zijun wasn't well received when he was born. Being a direct descendant of one of the 10 Great Families, he didn't have much talent. However, he was unexpectedly unable to awaken into a new human being. Furthermore, due to the structure of his brain, he couldn't use medicine to awaken. This caused him to suffer various supercilious looks from his family for a long time. However, as he grew older, Zhao Zijun's extraordinary and almost demonic intelligence began to reveal itself. Over the years, he had used his intelligence to move his family. Zhao Zijun was now a unique existence amongst the younger generation of the Federation. Although he wasn't a new human being, no one dared to underestimate him.
What's more, he was the leader of the Divine Dragon Academy squadron for this CHF. This assassination mission had been entrusted by that fellow Gui Hao. Through his intelligence network, he had found out that Carolyn had a vague relationship with an ordinary male student from the faraway Tianjing Academy. With that fellow's perfectionist personality, he clearly couldn't tolerate any flaws. With a slight provocation from him, he had the idea of getting rid of the other party. Naturally, the dirty and tiring work would be done by him. Naturally, this was how their relationship and friendship was established.
The five upper families were all brimming with ambition. However, the five lower families weren't idle either. The Zhao Family and the Gui Family were currently in an alliance, with the Gui Family wanting to form a marriage alliance with the Stuart Family to raise their status. Within the younger generation, Gui Hao was indeed an existence that was worthy of Carolyn. With Carolyn's haughty personality, Gui Hao was one of the few members of the opposite sex that she didn't hate. Who would have thought that the haughty Princess Carolyn would occasionally have a change of taste? Although this matter was a little groundless, he needed to further strengthen his relationship with Gui Hao. Through this matter, Gui Hao, who had originally ignored him, seemed to have changed a little.
However, what caused Zhao Zijun to be surprised was that the assassin he had sent out had actually been killed instead. A professional assassin at the peak of the Casted Soul Stage with abundant experience had actually failed in his assassination attempt, and had even suffered heavy injuries. This was simply …
"This fellow called Wang Zhong is … haha. This is slightly interesting. He's much harder to deal with than I had imagined. Furthermore, it would be too much of a pity if he were to die so casually. I should make good use of him. "
Zhao Zijun appeared to have thought through the crux of the matter. With a faint smile, he connected to another Skylink.
This time, a handsome face appeared on the screen, with a tranquil expression that radiated with arrogance. "Is it over?"
"Haha. Brother Hao, I'm really sorry." replied Zhao Zijun with a smile. "The mission has failed. This Wang Zhong seems to have some ability."
Hearing that, Gui Hao gawked slightly. Truthfully speaking, this wasn't good news. To him, Wang Zhong was just like a toad that didn't bite people, but jumped onto people's feet to annoy them. With his status, he was truly too lazy to bicker with Wang Zhong. However, he wanted to give up halfway.
"However, it's fine. I'll send even stronger people to take action. I won't let him reach the CHF. A weak squadron like the Tianjing Squadron won't care about the life and death of a captain." said Zhao Zijun with a smile.
A frown appeared on Gui Hao's face. "You don't need to care about this matter. His arrival might be a good thing for me."
Gui Hao replied in an indifferent tone. This Zhao Zijun had only said half of what he wanted to say. It was fine if the other party was just an ordinary student. However, he was the captain of a squadron. Furthermore, did he want to blow up this matter at such a sensitive time? More importantly, his relationship with Carolyn had yet to break through. Who knows, this matter might become a turning point for him, and might even give him a head start in their future collaboration.
Although this brat Zhao Zijun wasn't too honest, he could still make use of him. In other words, they could make use of each other.
With a smile, Zhao Zijun gave a thumbs up and said, "Brother Hao, you're brilliant. If he comes to the CHF, he definitely won't be as good as coming here. At the same time, we can watch Princess Carolyn's marvelous expression. This person's standard isn't bad, and he won't be eliminated so quickly. This will be a good show."
"A good show needs good actors. You should pay attention to him. However, little Jun, you have to be a little more courteous towards your future sister-in-law." said Gui Hao in an indifferent tone.
Zhao Zijun gawked slightly, before a smile surfaced on his face. "Look at my smelly mouth. Leave these trivial matters to me."
Turning off the Skylink, both of them had different expressions on their faces. Zhao Zijun's expression was cold and detached, and even slightly sinister. However, a smile soon appeared on his face. He believed that there would be a day when he would trample on those who ignored him, and those who looked down on him. This was just a process.
Naturally, he knew what this brat Zhao Zijun was planning. However, it didn't matter to him, as the Gui Family needed an ally from one of the lower five families. This brat didn't have any strength, and if he wanted to establish a foothold within the family, he would need to rely on his wits and allies. This was something that Gui Hao truly valued. This was because such a person would never become his competitor, and could only be his lackey. Therefore, he was able to tolerate his little wits. After all, even a dog had to gnaw on a bone.
Exactly who was it that wanted to kill him?
That assassin was clearly a rather professional person, and had left rather few clues for Wang Zhong. Wang Zhong had placed high hopes on the dagger dipped in poison. However, after careful research, he discovered that the poison on the dagger wasn't anything special, but a type 2 NPC drug. Its full name was' Neuralparalysis type 2 drug ', which was the so-called nerve paralysis drug. It could be found in any large military base or official hospital, and was simply unable to prove anything. As for the dagger itself, it was an extremely ordinary assassin's runic dagger. Furthermore, it was produced in a black market, and wasn't produced by the Federation's official military factories. Therefore, it was basically impossible to find its origins. In fact, the dagger's handle was so clean that not even a trace of fingerprints could be found.
