Ultimate Assassin System

Chapter 159 The first setback

In the afternoon, Tang En, who took off his disguise, returned to the hotel alone.

Here. In the corner of the tavern hall, Jack raised his hand.

They had been in the carriage for a long time, and then Tang En found an opportunity to let Jack get out of the carriage. To be honest, he was not sure whether he could escape the pursuit. From that subtle feeling, he knew that the previous group of bounty hunters were following behind.

The magician's bizarre methods and the earth-level warrior's shocking strength all left Tang En with little confidence. In this case, it would not help Jack to stay here, and it would even affect his chances of escaping. It was better to leave.

(This chapter has 4,300 words. Well, there is no doubt that the civet cat has deleted too much. I will make up for it tomorrow...) Fortunately, Tang En left the carriage and wandered in the remote alley for a long time without receiving any attacks. , and didn’t feel that shadow again. He had escaped a disaster... After Tang En sat down, Jack asked anxiously: Before...

Jack is not a fool, which can be seen from his flexible cooperation at that time. He knew his own strength. Tang En always looked like he was facing a formidable enemy, and he was even more hopeless.

Remember those people we met before entering the black market?

That woman with a particularly good figure? Jack blinked twice and recalled.

Uh... Tang En stroked his forehead: There are three men next to him.

Have you... ahem. Jack touched his hair in embarrassment and asked curiously, Are they your enemies?

Tang En nodded: That's right, they are bounty hunters.

Of course Jack knew about the profession of bounty hunter, and asked in surprise: How did you get into trouble with these lunatics?

It's hard to explain in one sentence. In short, just avoid it when you encounter it in the future.

Jack was a little shocked: Are they very powerful? Although he was paying attention to the woman's figure before, he did not see the depth of the other party's strength. Just now, Jack thought that Tang En was worried about the other party's large number of people, and he was even secretly thinking about teasing him when they met in the future.

Tang En spread his hands and said: Three peak earth-level warriors, one of whom is at least the level of a great magician, do you think he is higher or not?

Uh... Jack opened his mouth wide and instantly gave up the idea of ​​seeking death.

With such an enemy watching eagerly from the side, no one's mood will get any better. Therefore, the atmosphere was a bit heavy at this time.

Here, have a drink! Jack picked up the wine glass and pretended to be relaxed: Don't worry too much. There is absolutely no problem with your disguise. You can escape today.

Of course things were not that simple, but Tang En was no longer the mediocre and downtrodden college student he had been before. He raised his glass and said, Haha, that's right.

Ding! The wine glasses clinked, and I swallowed.

That's right! Jack wiped the wine stain, I found out that Bovis and Bernie came three months ago. Now one is the director of security and the other is the chief of cavalry. I heard that they were originally transferred to Brann. Capital City, but they finally chose to come to the north...

Having said this, Jack knocked his wine glass heavily on the table with a depressed look on his face: Damn it, isn't this a convulsion!

Tang En was a little speechless when he heard this. You said you could go to a capital city with good security to get promoted and make a fortune, and enjoy light happiness. Why would you come to the war-torn north to join in the fun? Are you so idle?

This news naturally made Tang En, who was temporarily staying in Liva City, a little depressed, but after being paved the way by the terrifyingly powerful bounty hunter group in front of them, they were somewhat numb. This is the saying that if you have too many debts, you don’t have to worry about it; if you have too many lice, you don’t have to itch.

After drinking a few more drinks, Jack smacked his mouth twice and said with some emotion: Tsk, tsk, I say your plan should be changed to another place. It's obviously unlucky here.

Tang En smiled bitterly and shook his head. He chose this place after a lot of consideration, and a lot of preparation work had been done before. There was no way he could just change it.

Not long after, Josiah, who had been observing outside for a day, came back with the publicity staff.

Everyone gathered in the room to discuss it and finally decided to start promoting it tomorrow morning. The location has been selected, but after reading it, Tang En suggested deleting the downtown square, center street, etc.

Yes, these locations are excellent, have the largest flow of people, and the publicity results can be expected to be good. But Tang En knew how powerful Powes was. The city was no better than the countryside. If he posted big-character posters here, Powes would definitely respond quickly when he received the order. It was hard to say what would happen when the time came.

Of course, Colin and the others did not know Powis, so they were quite skeptical about this suggestion. But in the end, Josiah still adopted Tang En's suggestion. After all, she also came from Laiyan City. Although he is not an assassin, he cannot personally experience the power of Powers. But at any rate, I have heard of the other party’s reputation and some horrific deeds.

…………The next morning, it was still dark.

Liva City was silent. Perhaps due to mining, the sky here always seemed a little dark, but fortunately, no raindrops fell.

The men in gray clothes quietly set out from the backyard of the hotel, kicked up the paper and walked onto the street.

Gradually, sheets of paper that looked very white in the dark night were spread out. From far to near, it is like a ray of light at dawn, or like flags fluttering in the wind... Whew... it's so damn cold! Not far from the gate of the security hall, two people huddled in the corner. The shadow probed his head.

I'm just confused. This is a matter for your Gray Army. Why do you have to hold me back? A dark figure's tone was full of dissatisfaction.

Brothers, of course we share the blessings and the hardships together. The other figure glanced at the distance and felt very confident.

Oh my god, I am truly blessed to have you as my brother for eight lifetimes! The tone was obviously ironic.

How can this be.

You also know, then...

There are still three or four reincarnations!

...your mother!

Needless to say, these two are really Dunn and Jack.

Tang En was quite wary of Powers, so even though it was his first promotion, logically speaking there shouldn't be any surprises, so he decided to stay outside the security hall. As for Jack, well, when one person is about to stalk in the cold wind, while other friends are curled up in the warm quilt... well, it is not harmonious at all, there is no love at all!

Haha, do you still remember the last time we stood guard outside the security hall? Tang En said.

Jack tightened his clothes tightly: Nonsense, of course I remember. At that time, you were also planning on Powers, and you even wanted me to sneak into his office. Knowing you as a friend, tsk tsk...

Haha. Tang En touched his nose in embarrassment, I didn't even go there later.

That's because Ghost Face showed up... Jack angrily exposed Tang En's explanation, and then turned around and said, Speaking of this, I remember you said you knew Ghost Face before. How is he now? I can't even hear it after that. His news...

...Well, Ghost Face is dead. Tang En sighed with emotion and shook his head.

Huh? Jack was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head and muttered in a low voice, No wonder this Bao Weis, who vowed not to leave Laiyan City until he killed Ghost Face, is here...

Just when the two of them were chatting together, suddenly, click click click... a faint sound of horse hooves gradually came.

Tang En and Jack were shocked, looked at each other, and said at the same time, No...

I remember that the two of them also encountered this kind of situation when they visited the Laiyan City Police Department.

Fortunately, this time the sound of horse hooves obviously came from outside, not from inside the security hall.

Tang En and the two hid their bodies deeper in the shadows. After a moment, they saw a large group of cavalry galloping towards them, and then the door of the security hall opened.

This is... Tang En and Jack stared at the scene in front of them with their mouths wide open.

The pair of cavalry looked a little embarrassed, and their bodies were covered in blood. Some had broken armor and were helped off their horses by their companions. Even Powers and Bernie, who were taking the lead, looked slightly injured, with gloomy faces.

They didn't stay outside the door for long before people quickly rushed out and carried the injured inside.

I know, haha! Jack's expression changed, and then he couldn't help laughing in a low voice, Powis, Powis, you have today too. Haha...

The laughter was full of schadenfreude. Tang En also understood at this time and couldn't help but curl his lips slightly.

There is no doubt that Powers was attacked by a sniper. This is unimaginable in Laiyan City. Those underworld personnel, assassins, etc. would always take a detour when they encountered him, let alone take the initiative to provoke him. But this is Liva City, and Bovis has only been here for a short time. If he wants to do the same thing as before here, there will undoubtedly be many obstacles.

The actual situation was similar to what Tang En and the others had guessed. Powis and the others were going to catch an assassin who had revealed his whereabouts tonight. Unexpectedly, they were suddenly ambushed by a large number of unknown people on the way. Although they finally broke out of the siege, the price they paid was not small.

This situation was inevitable, and even Powers himself had anticipated it. In fact, as soon as Powers and Bernie arrived in Riva City, they were attacked many times. At its worst, they encountered dozens of assassinations a day. There is no peace for eating, sleeping, etc.

But Powers is Powers, and he would rather break than bend. Despite such resistance, he persisted unwaveringly in his original approach. During this period, not to mention those who were killed on the spot, there were assassins and bounty hunters who were personally sent to the gallows... who knows how many.

If there was an old man from Laiyan City, I believe he would be very familiar with these things. Because the same thing happened in Laiyan City before, and even Powis' family was assassinated at that time. But from then on, Powers lived in the security hall, and continued to use iron-blooded methods crazily. For more than ten years, he finally completely subdued the dark forces in Laiyan City.

...When Tang En saw the situation in front of him, he couldn't help but feel a little relieved.

After all, if Powers had been troubled by these things, their big-character poster plan would undoubtedly go more smoothly.

About two hours later, some early passers-by were already sparsely seen on the streets, and Tang En and Jack took the opportunity to leave.

However, they did not go back to the hotel directly, but went to the place where the big-character posters were posted. The same was true for Josiah's people. They hid around and mingled with the crowd, preparing to see the people's reaction.

As the first big-character poster was discovered, screams rang out one after another in the streets, and then the crowd quickly gathered.

Humans are born with the hidden gene of watching the excitement, but within a moment, people from various places came out to join the crowd.

Relatively speaking, urban residents are more knowledgeable than rural people. So they quickly understood the meaning of these strange and bizarre paintings.

Haha, this painting is quite interesting...

Gray Army? Does the empire have this army? I've never heard of it...

I've heard that it was organized spontaneously by a group of people, saying it was to improve the status of ordinary people...

Nonsense, haven't you read the newspaper? They are obviously a gang of thugs. It is said that they are committing all kinds of crimes by burning, killing, looting...

.........Seeing is believing, hearing is believing - there is also a proverb with similar meaning in other worlds.

But no matter where in the world, there are still not many people who can truly abide by this. Just as truth is just decoration in a dark room until it is proven. However, all kinds of ridiculous or ridiculous rumors are popular in the bright day.

In such an era, the dissemination of information is very backward and backward. Word of mouth is the most common way, and the most advanced is just newspapers. The newspaper is now in the hands of Bran officials, so their negative publicity about the Gray Army is almost indoctrination.

Along the way, Tang En's face looked a little ugly. Although he had expected that the citizens would doubt and resist these remarks and paintings, the intensity still shocked him.

After a lie is told thousands of times, it will become the truth, even an even more exaggerated truth.

This is the image of the gray army. Now these people have preconceived official concepts, so when they encounter conflicting views, they will always resist and feel disgusted... Soon, some people began to tear down the big-character posters angrily.

Twain? Jack looked at the young man in the crowd holding shredded paper and shouting This is a lie, touched his nose, turned around and asked.

This young man's clothes are not too gorgeous, and he is obviously not an aristocrat. However, he is still more sophisticated than ordinary citizens, and he should be a son of a wealthy businessman. It is not surprising that this group of vested interests would oppose the Gray Army. Because the concept of the Gray Army has some meaning of equalizing wealth.

Don't worry about him, let's go back! Tang En shook his head and walked towards the hotel.

After returning to the hotel, Tang En met some dejected people in the tavern lobby.

These people had participated in rural propaganda, and at that time they were treated like heroes. Now that I have suffered my first setback here, I will inevitably feel depressed due to the gap.

Gradually, more and more dark-faced publicity staff came back from outside, and then sat on the bench without saying a word.

The atmosphere in the lobby was a bit depressing, which made the hotel owner who was watching on the side very confused. He secretly muttered whether these people had lost their business... Then Josiah walked in from the outside, her face was quite calm. , after all, Tang En had told her before that these things might happen.

Walking into the hall and seeing everyone acting like this, Josiah couldn't help but be startled. Then he nodded clearly and smiled: What's wrong with everyone? Can't you bear such a little failure?

Uh... Everyone nodded, looking at Josiah who was smiling calmly in front of them, and couldn't help but feel a little ashamed.

What's more, this is not a failure, it is just a small obstacle at best. Thinking about the goal we ultimately want to achieve, what are these difficulties in front of us in comparison?

Yes, yes! the hotel owner interjected, In business, it's normal to make losses and profits. Look at my hotel, it was very glorious before, but I'm sticking to it now. Well.

...Perhaps the boss's intention is just to worry that if everyone leaves, he won't be able to make much money from the house. But now it undoubtedly made everyone who had cheered up couldn't help laughing knowingly.

Haha, the boss is right, we should learn from you.

Boss, I wish you a prosperous business in the future!

...

Looking at the somewhat astonished Josiah, Tang En gave a thumbs up. The former spread his hands and smiled with his tongue out.
