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...
"Hehe, you really want to know?" Li Jia squinted, looking at Xiao Long's expectant face, and couldn't help but ask with a smile.
"Yes, I need to know, otherwise I won't be able to sleep peacefully." After saying that, Xiaolong stared intently at Li Jia, making those around him quite puzzled. "What's going on?" Xiaoyue had never experienced such a dangerous yet incredibly enriching journey, so she was naturally full of questions, wanting to know what had happened between Li Jia and Xiaolong.
“Okay, then I’ll repeat myself. He and I are master and student, and we have a pretty good relationship, so that’s how it is. If you don’t believe me, you can ask Riley. He shouldn’t have left here yet.” Although Li Jia’s words left everyone present confused, Xiao Long was secretly delighted. “The instructor is still in Florence?”
“Yes, not only in Florence, but right here.” Li Jia said, glancing towards the door.
"Huh? Who is it?" Long Suifeng was sitting relatively close to the door, and he clearly heard footsteps coming from outside. He turned around and shouted loudly.
"Hello everyone! My name is Riley." Riley's tall figure stepped out from outside the door, followed by Safin, the drunkard who never let go of his flask. As soon as the two appeared at the door, Xiaolong couldn't help but stand up excitedly, ran a few steps to Riley and the drunkard, and snapped to attention, "Instructor! What brings you here!"
"It's Xiaolong! He'll talk to you later!" Riley picked up where Xiaolong left off, and then he and the drunkard Safin walked to the dining table in unison. To everyone's surprise, "Thump!" the two of them suddenly knelt on the ground. "Instructor! Please punish us!"
As soon as the two spoke, Xiao Long, who was standing at the door, was dumbfounded. "Instructor... Instructor... Instructor Riley, you're saying Li Jia is your instructor? How is that possible?" "Hehe, get up. I'm not the same person I used to be. You two helped a lot later on, so the good and bad are even. If you're not in a hurry to leave, we can have a drink together!" Li Jia smiled and helped the two up, then spoke calmly to Riley and Safin.
"No need! Thank you, Instructor, for not punishing us. We're heading back to Astana soon, and we won't go on missions without understanding the situation again!" After Riley and the Drunkard finished speaking, they turned to Oh Ah Little Dragon and said, "Come out with us for a moment."
"Ignore them, let's continue. Let's hurry up and finish this feast! I'm starving, let's eat first!" Li Jia, under the strange looks of everyone, picked up her chopsticks and started eating.
"Xiaolong, you can stay by the instructor's side and seize the opportunity. If he can teach you something, you'll soon surpass the two of us." Riley seemed to like Xiaolong quite a bit, and whispered after calling Xiaolong out.
"Instructor? Is he really your instructor? Then isn't he the instructor from 'Kiss of Death'? Does he know the God of Slaughter? Have he ever met him?" Xiaolong saw the affirmative answer in the eyes of the two instructors.
“He is the top instructor for wilderness survival training at the Death Kiss training camp. As for whether he knows the God-like figure, neither of us knows, but his identity is beyond doubt!” Riley looked at Xiaolong and then said with certainty.
"Alright, we should go now. If he hadn't let us off this time, we probably would have been meeting Jesus in the mountains long ago." After saying this, the drunkard didn't care whether Riley would follow him or not, and turned to leave the villa.
"Make the most of this opportunity." Riley said and turned to leave, leaving Xiaolong there in a daze for a long time. Then he turned around and ran into the house to stare at Li Jia again and began to look her over. However, this time his gaze was no longer so relaxed. Knowing Li Jia's identity, his impression and opinion of her had changed fundamentally.
"I challenge you!" After a moment, Xiaolong firmly uttered these words.
