The Golden Cypress Hotel in Shanghai's Rainbow District was barely a three-star hotel. The hotel's occupancy rate was average, and the business was bleak recently, with fewer guests coming to stay.
Han Jintong's complexion was as pale as paper with bloodstains on the corner of his mouth. He was sitting in the corner of the guest room on the seventh floor, his body riddled with scars as he sutured his hideous wounds with a needle and thread. Four to five meters away from him was a Caucasian woman with long blonde hair. Her black robe was tattered and stained with blood.
"Professor, leave."
The Caucasian woman had scarlet pupils in her eyes. Her fair hands, which had sharp nails, were caressing a concave bronze mirror that she had removed from the left side of her chest.
Han Jintong stubbornly shook his head and said, "Shanjenna, I don't know why they're chasing you. But you're my best student and have been my sparring partner for several years. Under such circumstances, I can't … cough, cough … I can't abandon you. "
With despair on her face, Shanjenna shook her head and said, "You've helped me enough, Professor. You're seriously injured now, and your chances of survival will be very small if you continue to stay with me. I've put the skull badge in the residential building where we met yesterday. It's the safe where I'm hiding. I hope you can help me deliver the skull badge to Salzburg and hand it over to my big brother in person after you're safe. It's related to the fate of my only family member. "
"I told you that I won't abandon you," said Han Jintong in a deep voice. "If you want to give the skull badge to your big brother, you can go by yourself after this crisis is over."
Shanjenna bitterly said, "Professor, the one chasing me is Grove Bear. He's a Gold Assassin of the Stygian Club. Although the hunting squad he led only has five members, all of them are Silver Elite, consisting of two Beastmen, one Vampire, and two Wingmen. The ones who attacked us yesterday were only a Beastman, a Vampire, and a Wingman. The other two Silver Assassins didn't appear. The most important one is Grove Bear. He hasn't shown up yet, but I'm sure he must have come to Shanghai. If Grove Bear had appeared last night, we wouldn't have had the chance to escape. "
"Tell me, why are they chasing you?" asked Han Jintong with a frown.
A ferocious expression suddenly appeared on Shanjenna's face as she said, "The Stygian Club's Shadow Branch has established a 'Meat Grinder Factory'. Its members secretly capture ordinary humans from all over the world, eat their flesh and devour their souls. They even use a large number of ordinary people to conduct live experiments and secretly research high-performance weapons. I inadvertently knew the exact location of the meat grinder factory, and the note with the precise coordinates was hidden in the skull badge. "
Han Jintong's expression changed and he angrily said, "I once knew that the Stygian Club was not a good organization, so I refused to join it. I even came back from abroad and was ready to spend the rest of my life in China. I didn't expect them to be so arrogant, daring to chase you all the way to Huaxia and even killing ordinary people in Huaxia. "
"Professor, please leave!" Shanjenna said. The enemy is too strong. Once they get here, I'll be in charge of luring them away. You should hurry up and escape. "
Han Jintong gritted his teeth and said, "Shanjenna, you don't need to persuade me anymore. If I can't even protect my student, I won't have any face left to live. However, the strength of the two of us is far from enough to deal with those assassins. It seems that I can only ask my old friends for help. "
After saying that …
He struggled to stand up by holding the wall and picked up the mobile phone that had its battery thrown out. After reinstalling the battery, he found that the phone could still be used and immediately heaved a sigh of relief. Just as his finger was about to press the dial button, he suddenly realized something and his eyes fell on Shanjenna again.
'The strength of my two old friends is about the same as mine. Since they're not a match for those three assassins even if I join hands with Shanjenna, I'm afraid it won't have much effect even if I ask my two old friends for help. I'll only implicate them instead. But how am I supposed to solve the current crisis if I don't ask them for help? '
Han Jintong's expression constantly changed. After a long while of silence, Tan Xiu's appearance suddenly appeared in his mind.
"Ask him for help, will he agree?"
'Given his identity and ability, dealing with those assassins shouldn't be a problem.'
'How much do I want to pay if he agrees?'
He pondered and hesitated.
Han Jintong looked at the scarred Shanjenna before he finally gritted his teeth and dialed Tan Xiu's cell number.
At Paradise Club.
Tan Xiu and Ouyang Lulu had just arrived and had yet to get out of the car when their mobile phone rang. He took it out and looked at the number on the screen before he picked it up and said, "Is there something you need from me?"
With a bit of expectation, Han Jintong said, "Mr. Tang, can I ask you for a favor? Or what price do I need to pay? Can you help me? "
"Not interested!"
Tan Xiu directly hung up the phone after saying that. Had Han Jintong not said the last sentence, perhaps he would have considered it. But Han Jintong actually asked him what price he needed to pay in exchange for his help, which made him somewhat disgusted.
"Who's that, Tan Xiu?"
Ouyang Lulu, who had already gotten out of the car, looked at Tan Xiu and asked curiously.
"An unimportant person who wants my help," Tan Xiu said flatly.
Ouyang Lulu didn't ask again, but skillfully held Tang Xiu's arm and smilingly said, "You're the Proprietress of our Paradise Club from today onward. You can play with our family's business however you want, and you can do whatever you want. Besides, the money invested here is all earned by me, so it's not a problem even if I have to spend it all. At worst, I'll just ask my family for the dowry money. "
Lady Boss?
Tan Xiu was at a loss whether he had to cry or laugh as he listened to Ouyang Lulu's address. However, his mood was quite complicated, because it was an eye-opener for him. What was the meaning of "a married woman is the same as spilled water"? Ouyang Lulu hadn't married yet, but she had already started to side with an outsider.
At Kimber Hotel.
A bitter expression appeared on Han Jintong's face as he listened to the busy tone coming from his phone. He didn't expect that Tan Xiu would be so heartless. He didn't even ask anything and directly refused him.
"It's useless, Professor."
Shanjenna wriggled her lower lip and two fangs were suddenly revealed. A cold light suddenly burst out from her despairing eyes as she shifted her gaze toward the door. A pair of severely damaged wings suddenly spread out from her back as she dashed to Han Jintong's side almost in an instant. She reached out to grab Han Jintong's shoulder and dashed out from the open window.
Her speed was extremely fast, leaving only a series of afterimages in the air. Her figure had already rushed to the top of the five-storey building opposite her.
"Pop …"
The silver bullet shot out in a spiral direction as though it pierced through the space barrier and instantly hit Shanjenna's wings. As the wings burst into flames, Shanjenna screamed and immediately fell to the top of the building. Fortunately, Han Jintong had sharp eyes and quick hands. He instantly grabbed Shanjenna and jumped down the other building the moment he landed.
Injuries!
At this moment, Han Jintong's movements were somewhat affected. But he had a very high cultivation, after all. The moment he fell down, his arm instantly grabbed the windowsill on the second floor. He then kicked the glass window and sprinted inside with Shanjenna.
Flee!
Flee at all costs!
Since the enemy had chased them, they must escape as far as possible. Otherwise, only death awaited them once they were caught.
Han Jintong didn't expect that the assassins would be so bold that they dared to make a move against them in the downtown area in broad daylight. This was China. Weren't the assassins worried about provoking China's powerhouses?
Suddenly …
A bold idea emerged in Han Jintong's mind as he quickly ran down the corridor. He immediately kicked open a door and brought Shanjenna inside. He then picked up a chair in the room and smashed it against the window. He even pulled the chair downstairs and threw it out.
If he wanted to make a ruckus, it would be best if it was a big one. He didn't believe that the assassins were really bold enough to show their terrifying strength in such a big commotion. It was only in the chaos that he believed he could find a glimmer of hope to escape.
Nearby.
The pedestrians who were passing by on the street suddenly heard the noise. Broken glass and chairs were smashed down. Several of them were nearly hit and screamed as they ran away. A large number of pedestrians were attracted as they looked up at the window on the second floor of the building.
Under a telephone pole, two young men in jackets and smoking cigarettes were looking around aimlessly. They had received orders from their superiors to go all out to find some strange people. To be precise, they were not looking for humans, but the Western vampires and the legendary Beastmen.
"What's going on?"
The two young men exchanged glances and subconsciously walked toward the scene of the accident. They even took out their binoculars at this moment.
"Brother Ya, look over there!"
Suddenly, a young man's body trembled. Just as he raised his arm, he found that a figure flashed and disappeared on the roof of the opposite building.
"What?"
The young man called Brother Ya curiously asked.
With an excited expression, the young man hurriedly said, "I can guarantee with 100% certainty that a figure flashed past just now. A person who can fly! He should be the target we're looking for. "
"Hurry up and report!"
"Understood!"
On the fifth floor, Han Jintong dragged his seriously injured body along with Shanjenna, who had retracted her wings and was in a daze. He quickly ran toward the window at the end of the left corridor. The moment he opened the window, he had already jumped downstairs. It didn't take long for him to disappear into the stream of people.
On the roof.
A middle-aged man with a stocky build with scarlet eyes looked at the direction where Han Jintong and Shanjenna disappeared. He licked his lips and muttered to himself, "You can't escape! I can smell the scent of the Darksoul Incense from hundreds of miles away. "
