The snow fell silently onto this desolate land.
Before we knew it, a night had passed in a flurry of snow, and layers of cold white gauze covered all the noise of the world.
The leaden-gray clouds hung low in the sky, almost within reach.
They intertwined with the rising chill from the ground, blurring the boundary between heaven and earth, plunging the entire world into a chaotic, grayish-white expanse.
Suddenly, a few leaping black dots appeared in the boundless, deathly gray-white silence.
Several men in black were darting up and down rapidly, as if there was something incredibly terrifying behind them.
They all looked disheveled, with various weapons somehow attached to their waists. They moved nimbly and coordinated perfectly, leaving afterimages in their wake.
They were fleeing at breakneck speed, communicating rapidly as they went.
"What's wrong with you? You were about to succeed, why did you suddenly stop, giving that woman an opportunity?"
"This sickly guy is a bit strange. I must have fallen for his trick."
"The intelligence was wrong; this sickly fellow is far more complex than he appears!"
"Damn it, no wonder they were willing to pay such a high price! If I had known it would be like this, I wouldn't have taken the job no matter how much money they offered!"
"How could someone who can manage such a large business for Miss Chu be simple? We were too careless!"
"What are we going to do now? We haven't gotten the amnesia reagent, and we haven't even gotten rid of that sickly child!"
"Alright! Forget about the mission! Let's save our energy and escape first!"
Just as the group was exchanging information, a sneer suddenly rang in their ears.
"Heh! Where would you gentlemen like to go?"
The men in black immediately stopped and quickly gathered together, looking around warily.
A tall, slender man in a well-fitting black suit emerged from the snow and appeared before them; it was Lu Zhufeng.
He raised an eyebrow, a smile playing on his lips, his eyes looking at them with a hint of amusement. Like a ruthless hunter, he watched with amusement as his prey struggled futilely in the trap.
“Lu Zhufeng…”
"With such skills, how could she be content to be just an assistant..."
Upon seeing the newcomer, the leader's eyes narrowed slightly, and he murmured something to himself.
Lu Zhufeng's skills were astonishing. Even when several of them joined forces, they were still at a disadvantage when they exchanged blows with him.
With such strength, he could rival some of the most terrifying people he had ever seen!
"Your skill is superb, I am ashamed to admit my inferiority! But we are not fools, to be manipulated at will. Why not show mercy and let us go, so as to avoid a fight to the death, where both sides perish?"
Lu Zhufeng's strength truly shocked him; even if all of them attacked together, he wasn't confident they could defeat him.
Lu Zhufeng merely stared at him with a mocking expression and did not reply.
A fight to the death? A fight to the death?
With your abilities?
Seeing this, the leader of the men in black said no more. He then waved his hand, and the men behind him quickly formed a battle formation, surrounding Lu Zhufeng and attacking him with their weapons.
Upon seeing this, Lu Zhufeng laughed even more sarcastically, then casually threw off his suit jacket, rolled up his shirt sleeves, and started wrestling with the men.
In an instant, the sounds of fists, feet, bayonets, and gunshots filled the air, creating utter chaos.
Before long, everything returned to silence.
At this moment, Lu Zhufeng was straightening his suit jacket, looking at the several men in black lying at his feet with a disdainful smile.
Suddenly, the roar of cars came from afar, rapidly approaching. By the time he reacted, several black luxury cars were already parked in front of him.
The one in the middle was the most unique, its body covered with a layer of fine snowflakes, adding to its cold and mysterious aura.
The matte black paint, under the interplay of night lights and falling snow, reflects a faint blue-gray sheen, like a black pearl in the deep sea, calm and profound.
A person quickly got out of the car, holding a black umbrella, and bent down to open the back door.
The black-clad bodyguards, who had already gotten out of the other cars, stood in neat rows and waited quietly to the side.
Wearing a white trench coat and an exquisite silver-white suit, Xiao Wujie slowly walked down.
A faint smile graced his handsome, almost demonic face, and his deep eyes, like stars in the night sky, possessed a captivating, enchanting power.
His attendant held an umbrella for him as he slowly walked toward the man in black, exuding an indescribable elegance and nobility in every gesture.
Upon seeing the person who had arrived, Lu Zhufeng also put away his disdainful smile.
In front of outsiders, Xiao Wujie was given ample face.
He bowed slightly and said solemnly, "Master, they are all here; none have escaped."
“Lift them up and remove the human skin masks from their faces.”
Xiao Wujie nodded slightly upon hearing this and said calmly.
With a sudden movement from his men, several men in black were forced to kneel before him, revealing their true faces beneath the human skin masks.
After the fierce fight, they were all bruised and battered, with bloodstains at the corners of their mouths, looking quite disheveled.
Xiao Wujie crouched down, his gaze sweeping across the faces of the group before finally settling on the leader's face. He said with a playful expression:
"Aren't you going to introduce yourself? You're SL's friend."
Upon hearing this, the man in black's pupils contracted, and his eyes were fixed on Xiao Wujie's face.
SL, also known as "Senluo", is derived from the name of the underworld.
SL is the world's most mysterious and expensive assassin organization. They don't make a move unless absolutely necessary, and once they do, the next time you see them is in the depths of hell.
As long as an agreement can be reached, there's no one SL can't kill.
Rumors suggest that SL has even taken on more than one assassination mission against a country's president, but the exact details remain unknown.
The terror of SL is undeniable, but it is also mysterious and expensive, and very few people know about it. The fact that someone knows about SL and can see through one's identity at a glance further shows that the person in front of you is not as simple as the intelligence reports suggest.
