Human energy is limited.
The lime can protect Xia Che for a day or two, a week or two, or even several months.
But who knows when the other side will make a move?
Barron is certain that assassins have already arrived in Jiang City.
Maybe it's already hidden somewhere, being planned right now.
At a time like this, if someone is still going to disregard Xia Che's safety just because they're being stubborn, Baron thinks it's really going too far.
Why can't it be protected?
Upon hearing this, Qing Ning blinked, not understanding why Baron would think that way.
“What you’re saying does make some sense. With such tight security protecting Xia Che, it would indeed be very difficult for the other side to succeed. But what if I said… I could protect him all by myself?”
Lime raised a proud smile.
Although this arrogant look on a sweet girl's face seems awkward no matter how you look at it.
But it was Qing Ning who spoke. Xia Che didn't know what Baron would think, but he believed her anyway.
How could someone who is almost invincible in the later stages of the comic not be able to protect him?
Are you kidding me...
Moreover, there was one thing Xia Che couldn't understand.
So, in the original comic, was there a scene where the original character was assassinated?
Xia Che had read the entire book and never saw a place where it was mentioned that anyone wanted to kill the original owner of the body.
Was it because his soul transmigrating altered the plot, thus triggering the butterfly effect?
Or is it that the original character was just a dispensable NPC in the original comic, so even though he was hunted down and eventually died, the author didn't portray him?
Both possibilities sound plausible.
Xia Che wasn't sure either.
"You? Don't joke around. Isn't there an old saying in your Chinese culture that human strength is sometimes limited? It's good to be confident, but if you're too arrogant, you can easily suffer the bitter consequences that you can never get out of.
Baron slowly shook his head. On this matter, his attitude was firm: "There is no need to put Xia Che in danger for the sake of a petty argument. All you care about is your reputation, but he is gambling with his life. If you win, you have nothing to lose, but if you lose, Xia Che will die. Why bother?"
Sometimes, Barron finds himself not really understanding the thought processes of Chinese people.
You've explained things so clearly and analyzed them so thoroughly, so why can't people understand?
If he simply came back to New York with her, all the troubles would be easily resolved. With the Russell family's power, protecting someone would be incredibly simple.
Moreover, it can also resolve the misunderstanding between him and Xia Yuxin. If the siblings can reconcile, it would be something that Baron would be very happy to see.
Siblings are the most precious relationship in the world, and family members should not turn against each other.
"No... I think you don't understand her strength..."
Xia Che touched his nose, wanting to offer some advice.
Qing Ning's strength is beyond doubt, not to mention that her neighbor is a loli killer.
With these two around, it would be difficult for me to die even if I wanted to.
Moreover, Ning Zheyuan's Yanyun Gang is in Jiang City, and Xia Che also has acquaintances in the Jiang City Police Department. Xia Che has connections in both the legitimate and criminal worlds.
He still has his terrestrial immortal master at Lotus Peak.
It can be said that staying in China is the safest option for me.
This is my true base.
Abandoning his own team, he went straight to New York...
Regardless of the consequences, is New York definitely safer than Jiang City?
Xia Che doesn't think so.
It would be ridiculous if, instead of dying at the hands of an assassin, you ended up being ripped off by a black guy on the streets of New York.
"Don't you understand? I still believe that human strength has its limits. If there are more than three elite assassins at the same time, she alone cannot stop them."
Baron remained steadfast in his opinion and slowly shook his head.
In his view, Xia Che and Qing Ning's unwillingness to leave Jiang City was disrespectful to the enemy.
They were gambling with their lives.
"You're really something... huh?"
Qing Ning was about to teach this gossipy golden-haired rat another lesson, and rolled up her sleeves to slap him, but suddenly she paused, her expression shifting, and she smiled strangely, asking, "If I said... I'd give you a chance to see just how strong I really am, would you be willing?"
"Are you going to hit me again?"
Barron had some PTSD, and instinctively raised his arms to shield his face, looking warily at the clearly ill-intentioned Qing Ning in front of him.
This person resorts to violence at the slightest disagreement; how can he be so ungentlemanly?
Is she really a woman?
"Don't worry, I won't use you as a practice subject."
Qing Ning waved her hand, her smile becoming even more sinister: "In a moment, I'll show you why I'm so confident I can protect Xia Che... But as a condition, after you've confirmed this, go back to where you came from, understand?"
Lime really hates this golden-haired mouse.
He kept urging Xia Che to go to New York with him.
Can I just go to New York freely?
Qing Ning's mission was to stay in Jiang City. Although she had a high level of authority and freedom in the Assassin's Hall, she still couldn't go too far from the mission location.
There was no mission for her to study in Weiyang; she simply ran off to New York in the blink of an eye, and the Assassin Hall didn't even object.
That's ridiculous.
Those who lack organization and discipline will be severely punished in the Assassin's Hall.
Moreover, Qing Ning is very confident in her abilities and is fully capable of protecting her childhood sweetheart.
"If you can really do it, then yes."
Baron agreed without hesitation.
He still didn't believe that Qingning could really do what she said.
Baron had witnessed firsthand how terrifying the assassin's strength was. Even though the opponent was much weaker than the assassin, the moment the assassin decided to make his move, it was useless even if the opponent was stronger than him.
In just a moment, the assassin took away this powerful figure whose strength far surpassed his own.
Baron had seen it all, so he never dared to underestimate the group of assassins. Even though Qing Ning came from the Assassin's Hall, in Baron's eyes, Qing Ning's strength was at most that of a low-level assassin.
Otherwise, even the Russell family couldn't hire elite assassins from the Assassin's Hall. How could Xia Che, an abandoned young master from a fallen family, possibly hire the Moon Assassin?
Aside from the Moon Killer, Baron had no confidence that Qing Ning could protect Xia Che.
"Then there's no problem, let's go."
Seeing that Baron agreed, Qing Ning's smile deepened, and even her captivating eyes narrowed.
Seeing this, Xia Che subconsciously swallowed.
He knew Qing Ning's personality well.
Once the other person shows that kind of smile, it means...
Someone's going to be in trouble.
...
A bright, pink room.
"Hey, I said...aren't you a hacker? Why would you use such a powerful generator for such a small laptop?"
Xie Linlin stared at the list of items she needed to buy, then turned her head in astonishment to look at Bubble, who was sitting at the foot of the bed, engrossed in her laptop screen.
