In this world where even assassins could pay taxes, there were too many people who did whatever they wanted.
Assassination, on the other hand, was a very common method in the business world.
Businessmen who stood out from the crowd knew this very well. Therefore, they paid extra attention to the area of security.
Ellie's manor occupied a large area, and there were three checkpoints inside, outside, and inside. The mountain path, the forest path, and the main path of the manor were strictly guarded.
The manor was equipped with highly professional bodyguards, and there was also a private army trained by Kenda. Their main task was to guard the area closest to Ellie.
Such an arrangement could be said to be an iron bucket.
However, there were too many people with extraordinary abilities, and even the hardest iron bucket could be pierced through. Moreover, in front of powerful people, such a defense might not even be worth their attention.
In fact, there would be assassins visiting every month, but those who sneaked into the manor were usually the bold and skillful type, and could be said to be impossible to guard against.
There were no clouds in the sky tonight, and the moonlight shone brightly when it hit the ground. The visibility was quite high, and this made the guards in charge of security much more relaxed.
However, even if every post was filled with people, there would still be flies that could not be stopped from flying in.
A man in black silently passed through the heavy security and sneaked into the manor, heading straight for Ellie's location.
That straightforward path of action showed that he knew some information like the back of his hand.
The man in black was wearing a cap, and his face was covered in shadows, making it difficult to see.
His main goal was to sneak in, which met the criteria of an assassination.
Soon, as he advanced carefully, avoiding all eyes and ears, he arrived outside Ellie's room, and hid in the short grass.
"It's here."
The man in black raised his head and looked at the light from the room on the third floor.
He first confirmed the situation around him, and after he was confident, he leaped lightly and pressed one hand on the wall beside the window, using a tool similar to a suction cup to hang and fix himself on the wall.
He poked his head slightly, and through the window, he saw Ellie behind the desk, and immediately confirmed his target.
"There are no bodyguards in the room."
Seeing Ellie alone reading a large amount of documents, the black clothed man's cold eyes flashed with a trace of joy. In his opinion, this commission with a large reward was already set in stone.
He slowly reached out his hand through the window, facing Ellie in the room in the void. Psychokinesis quietly overflowed from his palm.
Compared to the pistol with a silencer in the holster, the man in black was more willing to believe in his telekinesis when faced with this sky-high commission.
Psychokinesis condensed in his palm and compressed into the size of a bead, containing a cold killing intent.
The psychic sphere didn't need to be too big, but the timing and speed of the shot had to be controlled well to ensure that it didn't shatter the glass and to minimize the sound.
"Looks like I'll be able to succeed by myself."
The black-clothed man's eyes lit up. When the condensed ball shot out, a golden-haired baby that was half the height of a person suddenly appeared in front of the window. Its entire body was shrouded in a thin layer of aura.
"Ka ka."
The golden-haired baby's pitch-black eyes stared at the black-clothed man. Its two lips moved up and down, making a slight clicking sound.
The black-clothed man's eyes shrank sharply. The condensed ball left his hand and blasted toward the golden-haired baby that was close by.
However, the baby opened its mouth and swallowed the ball. It continued to make clicking sounds without any damage. When it fell into the black-clothed man's ears, it sounded like a mocking laugh.
"What the hell is this?"
The black-clothed man was shocked. He glanced at the desk in the room from the corner of his eyes. His target for tonight was gone. His gaze moved quickly, and he saw the golden-haired woman beside the red wooden door.
"Kenda, another fly has flown in."
Ellie leaned against the wall beside the door. Her fair slender fingers pushed the frame of her glasses, and her calm eyes looked at the black-clothed man hanging by the window.
The slightly willful little girl from many years ago had completely transformed.
The door opened, and Kenda rushed into the room. The first thing he saw was the black-clothed man outside the window. His face fell, and there was a hint of anger.
That anger was directed at the security personnel in the manor. They had allowed the assassin to silently sneak into Ellie's room again.
Ellie only took one look at Kenda's face to know that he was angry.
In reality, the assassin had successfully crossed the red line, which showed the incompetence of the security personnel once again. However, the assassin's ability could not be denied because of that.
"Let's get rid of this fly first," Ellie said calmly.
"Okay."
Kenda nodded and pressed the device in his ear. A single-sided lens appeared on his right eye. He then pulled out his pistol and fired at the black-clothed man outside the window.
When Kenda pulled out his gun, the black-clothed man decisively let go of the suction cup and jumped down.
The gunshot pierced through the silent night. Large pieces of glass shattered and flew toward the black-clothed man below.
"Damn it, the intelligence didn't say that the target has telekinesis."
The black-clothed man cursed in a low voice. He retreated and avoided the falling glass shards. Then, he muttered to himself and reported the situation concisely through the communication device.
At that moment, Kenda came to the window. With the help of the One-Hit Kill lens, he predicted the black-clothed man's dodging trajectory and immediately emptied the last three bullets in the clip.
The black-clothed man was an expert with guns. He could determine a precise line of fire from the position of the muzzle. Then, when the distance was sufficient, he could easily avoid the bullets.
As soon as he dodged with familiarity as usual, the black-clothed man immediately felt that something was wrong.
His excellent sense of danger allowed him to dodge the bullet.
All three bullets hit his body.
One in the rib, one in the left elbow, and one in the heart.
Each bullet caused varying degrees of damage. The two bullets in the heart and the rib only caused the black-clothed man to bruise, while the last bullet drilled directly into his arm.
That was the result of his telekinesis defense.
After being injured, the black-clothed man's eyes turned slightly red. However, he did not linger and quickly retreated. At the same time, he paid attention to the people who were beginning to surround him from all directions.
In the room, Ellie came to Kenda's side and said calmly, "Leave the rest to the security department. I need to get back to work."
Kenda hesitated when he heard that. "It's not a good night. Why don't you rest early?"
"No, there are still many things to take care of," Ellie said firmly.
Kenda sighed softly in his heart.
On a mountain far away, two people crouched on a rock protruding from the mountain wall. One of them held a strange-looking long gun. At first glance, one could tell that it was a sniper rifle.
Through the red dot sniper scope, Kenda and Ellie were standing in front of the window.
"Reload the bullet."
The man with the gun said in a deep voice.
The person beside him heard that and pressed his hand on the sniper rifle. His telekinesis surged and poured into the clip.
A moment later, the man with the gun smiled coldly and pulled the trigger.
At the same time, Ellie was about to turn back and walk to the desk when the wall next to the window suddenly exploded. The power even affected the walls in the room.
Both Kenda and Ellie were stunned. In the next moment, Kenda pounced on Ellie and pressed her to the ground, out of sight.
"It's a sniper rifle."
Kenda whispered solemnly.
A second ago, they were only a few steps away from death, but Ellie was very calm and said, "The potential threat of the sniper should have been eliminated long ago."
The closest sniper vantage point, even with the longest range sniper rifle, was still a long way from the effective range.
Kenda did not speak. At this time, he only felt extremely lucky. Fortunately, the sniper's marksmanship was not very good and he missed by a long distance.
Was it really the sniper's marksmanship that bad?
On the protruding rock, Law sat on the back of the man with the gun and lit a cigarette in his mouth.
"If you have the ability to commit suicide, hurry up."
