He was once a top-tier assassin, an existence that even international police feared. Now, he's the small owner of a dry-cleaning shop.
To take care of his younger brother and sister, whom...
As Li Jia put down his wine glass, his gaze towards the beautiful woman grew increasingly intense. The distance between them drew closer and closer. "Mmm!" With a soft moan from the woman, Li Jia picked her up and slowly carried her towards the balcony.
There was a circular swimming pool on the balcony with a radius of about two meters. There was a lounge chair next to the pool. Li Jia carried the girl to the balcony and looked at her with a playful expression. Suddenly, he let go of the girl and threw her into the small pool, which was not much bigger than a bathtub.
"Hehe, how is it? The water temperature is alright, isn't it?" Li Jia said calmly, looking at the angry woman. After speaking, she turned around and went back into the room to pour herself another glass of red wine. Then she sat on a lounge chair by the pool, smiling as she watched the woman in the silk dress gently paddling in the water.
"So, you found out a long time ago?" The woman's anger vanished instantly upon seeing Li Jia's expression, and she asked softly with a radiant smile.
"Hehe, yeah, do you know how many times you've slipped up since you came in?" Li Jia asked with a smile, picking up her wine glass and swirling it slowly.
"Oh? How many places?" The woman was quite relaxed in the water, not worried at all about her identity being exposed. She simply took off her high heels and threw them on the edge of the pool, and continued to swim leisurely in the water, even though the pool was really small.
"Hehe, okay, I'll tell you about it one by one. First: the silk dress you're wearing. Although not many Chinese people know the brand Christian Dior, unfortunately, I am one of them."
Second: Fen, one of the top luxury brands in women's shoes. Although I'm not a woman, I happen to know a little about it.
Thirdly, there's your perfume. I didn't know prostitutes were this extravagant these days. Did you know Anna Sui is a Chinese immigrant?
Fourth: The way you drink red wine and your demeanor are so elegant and sophisticated that I find it hard to believe that a call girl these days would have such a refined and graceful manner.
Lastly: In my French pronunciation, I added a touch of southern French accent. What's amazing is that yours does too, and it seems even more authentic than mine. Don't tell me you imitated it on the spot; I didn't see any imitation in you. It was completely spontaneous.
I think all of this is enough to explain something. Actually, the faint killing intent you exuded the moment you entered the room already reminded me of your identity. So, I'm very curious to know which organization you belong to. A killer of your caliber wouldn't work alone, would they?" After saying this, Li Jia poured the entire glass of red wine into her mouth. She savored the sweet and astringent taste swirling on her tongue, then slowly swallowed the wine, her gaze once again fixed on the woman in the pool.
"Are you satisfied now?" Li Jia asked with a smile.
"Clap...clap...clap!" The woman in the pool clapped her hands with a smile. She remembered what Lina had told her before she came: "You can try, but don't think you can get that 500,000 euros. He and you are not on the same level."
"Impressive, truly impressive. No wonder Sister Lina wouldn't let me participate. Okay, you win this round." The woman emerged from the pool, picking up her shoes that had been tossed aside. She strode over to Li Jia and said solemnly.
"Lina? Which Lina?" Upon hearing the woman's words, a familiar face quickly appeared in Li Jia's mind. Long black hair reached her waist, and a pair of deep blue eyes that seemed to see right through a person's thoughts.
"Heh, it doesn't matter which Lina it is, you don't know her anyway!" After the woman finished speaking, her eyes suddenly turned cold, and her slender, delicate fingers suddenly stabbed towards Li Jia's eyes. The speed and force of the movement made Li Jia's calm smile deepen. "You're ruthless!"
After saying that, Li Jia swiftly reached out his left hand and "snap!" grabbed the woman's wrist. At the same time, the woman's two fingers were only about half a centimeter away from Li Jia's eyes, and he could even see them. The tips of the two fingers even touched Li Jia's eyelashes.
After grabbing the woman with one hand, Li Jia suddenly exerted force with her wrist and simultaneously kicked her in the stomach without mercy. The woman's petite body was kicked into the pool again by Li Jia.
As the woman flew out, a round object fell out of her chest, dangling on the ground and rolling to Li Feng's feet. "What is this?" Li Jia looked at the familiar sphere, a chill creeping into her eyes as she looked at the woman.
"Snake-born incense, where did you steal it from?" Picking up the small, round ball, Li Jia gently twisted open the closed outer shell. Inside the ball lay a pale purple pill radiating a chilling aura. Immediately, Li Jia twisted the two halves of the ball back together, her gaze fixed on the woman with a gentle smile. However, the ever-flowing chill within that smile startled the woman.
"What stealing? I, Little Mink, would never steal from others. This was given to me by Sister Lina. She said... perhaps... perhaps it could save my life." The girl gently rubbed her stomach, which was churning from Li Jia's kicks, in the pool. Looking at the hint of coldness in Li Jia's smiling eyes, her voice grew softer and softer.
"Lina Chris?" Li Jia frowned slightly after hearing Xiao Diao's words, staring at Xiao Diao's pitiful face as she asked again.
"That's right, scared now! Let me tell you! My sister Lina is the manager of the infamous God of Killing! If you dare to kill me, just wait for my idol to come and settle the score with you!" Xiao Diao's words gradually dispelled the coldness in Li Jia's eyes. She stretched out her hand towards Xiao Diao, "What are you doing?"
