"I didn't expect that this name would still have such a strong brand effect in the assassin and mercenary world after so much time since the last incident!" Li Jia muttered to himself.
"Yes, the Kiss of Death, the place I want to go to most in my life. My idol is there, and so is my dream! It's just a pity that without an introduction and a lot of money, it's impossible to get in. What, haven't you heard of it?" Xiao Long asked Li Jia curiously about her reaction. In his mind, anyone who came out of any of the four most famous training camps in the world should know about the Amazon Kiss of Death, which is above the four training camps!
"Hehe, of course I know, but you said your dreams and your idols are there, why?" Li Jia saw that Ai Xiaoyue's attention was drawn to the conversation between the two of them, and she had stopped crying. She sat quietly next to her, resting her head on her lap, listening to her conversation with Xiaolong.
"Kiss of Death gathers the world's top assassins, mercenaries, fugitives, death row inmates, and even military forces from various countries send special forces there for training. Although there are deaths almost every day, as long as you can survive there, you may become someone's apprentice! This person is the legendary god, and my lifelong dream can only be realized there!" When Xiaolong talked about G and Kiss of Death, the fanaticism in his eyes was no less than that of a fanatic seeing God.
"God of Slaughter?" Li Jia asked again, as Xiao Yue beside her had stopped crying and wiped the tears from her face. She was now listening intently to the two of them talking back and forth.
"That's right! It's the God-like Man! Legend has it that he's taken on seven disciples so far, but as far as I know, two of them are dead, another was captured half a year ago, and the remaining four are nowhere to be found. The God-like Man! He's a legend in the assassin world. Although he became the ultimate instructor of the Kiss of Death a long time ago, his glorious achievements still drive many people crazy. Even now, no one can surpass him on Interpol's wanted list, and his bounty of one hundred million US dollars is still increasing exponentially every year!" Xiao Long became more and more excited as he spoke. He, who was usually not talkative, seemed unable to contain himself when talking about these things, his voice filled with barely suppressed excitement and longing!
"Xiaoyue, are you very interested in this?" Li Jia asked softly, looking at Xiaoyue who was completely captivated by what Xiaolong was saying.
"I want to avenge Father Ai!" The look in Ai Xiaoyue's eyes reminded Li Jia of herself when she first entered the training camp—stubborn, resilient, unyielding, and supported by unwavering determination. Ai Xiaoyue was the same now, the only difference being that what supported these qualities was not determination but hatred!
"Hehe, if you really want to go, your big brother will definitely take you to meet him when he has the chance! Alright, it's getting late. Let's go get something to eat first." After Li Jia finished speaking, he patted Ai Xiaoyue's head and waved to Xiao Long, signaling him to come with them.
Of course, even if Li Jia didn't wave, he would still follow behind, because he had only one order: to protect the young lady's safety until the matter was completely over!
As night fell, the small manor was eerily silent. A square wooden platform had been erected in the open space in front of the manor. On the platform sat a wooden stake, and bound to the stake was a naked man. All the lights in the manor were extinguished, except for several large braziers filled with charcoal burning around the platform. At each of the four corners of the platform stood a gleaming steel knife of varying sizes.
The atmosphere in the manor was exceptionally oppressive and chilling. Clearly, the assassin who killed the Dragon King was tied to the wooden stake. Li Jia led Xiao Yue, standing on the inner side. Xiao Long, however, stood behind Xiao Yue with his arms crossed, his eyes blazing with fury as he stared at the man on the stake, his fists clenched, wishing he could chop off his head!
"Alas! The death of the Dragon King is truly unexpected!" At this moment, Long Suifeng, with an air of otherworldly grace, came to Li Jia's side and sighed.
“There’s no way this was a surprise. I’m afraid this assassination attempt has been in the works for a long time! This assassin infiltrated Da Hu’s group and followed us all the way back to Florence. Then, he was injured but received the treatment of being personally received by the Dragon King. This series of events is all linked together. No wonder Xiao Yue was completely unharmed on our way back. So that’s the reason!” Li Jia didn’t turn around. After a moment of contemplation, she began to analyze.
"Brother Li is indeed a man of exceptional talent. May I have a word with you in private?" Long Suifeng said, nodding slightly to Li Jia. Li Jia turned to look at the elder with the air of a Taoist immortal, then nodded to Xiaolong. After receiving Xiaolong's affirmative answer, he extended his hand and bowed slightly, "Please!"
The two walked out of the crowd and came to one side of the manor. The Arno River was right in front of them. Long Suifeng stood on the grass in front of him, looking at the Arno River under the night sky. "Brother, I won't waste any more words. We old guys have discussed it and would like to ask you to stay at the Dragon Dance Club for a while. What do you think?"
"Hehe, Elder Long, this is too tiring to talk like this. Please speak plainly. I understand what you mean. I will definitely stay, but I won't interfere in your affairs. I'm staying here for only one reason, and that's Xiaoyue. I don't trust anyone else to protect Xiaoyue. As for what you want me to do here, I'm afraid I can't do anything about it!" How could Li Jia not understand the meaning behind Long Suifeng's words? To be able to arrange such a brilliant plan of feigning one move while secretly advancing another in Arezzo, no one would believe that Li Jia was an ordinary person. In addition, the fact that Li Jia took down the big iron bear revealed that Li Jia not only had a meticulous mind but also had excellent skills! "It seems that one of the four old guys has figured something out!" Thinking of this, Li Jia smiled faintly and subtly began to play the game of Tai Chi.
