“Tamiko, are you free tonight?” Miyazaki Yuuichi asked softly with a smile, staring into the girl’s eyes.
After dating her for some time, he felt that the time was now ripe. Tonight, he should be able to reap this beautiful flower.
Tamiko’s beautiful face directly blushed red, thinking to herself, -Ah, why is Yuuichi-kun so direct? Should I say yes or no…-
Tamiko was looking down, hiding her embarra.s.sment when she suddenly heard a soft sound next to her. Afterwards, a few drops of lukewarm fluid spattered on her face.
Immediately after, she heard a loud thump. It sounded like something heavy fell on the ground.
She raised her head slightly, and instantly an extremely terrified look crossed her face. She screamed out in shock in a high decibel voice.
Miyazaki Yuuichi, who had just made his “excessive” request to her, had fallen to the ground. A long arrow made of alloy metal had shot through his head, right between his brows.
Miyazaki Yuuichi’s face was still showing an antic.i.p.atory smile. His wide eyes were filled with shock and disbelief.
It was like he couldn’t accept the cruel reality at the moment of his death.
Following Tamiko’s sharp screech, the whole school broke into a commotion.
At the same time, a few figures suddenly came from different corners of the school, as swift as the wind and lightning, running in the direction the arrow was shot from.
—
On the roof a thousand meters away, Zhang Che quickly put away the Fallen Star bow right after he released the arrow. Afterwards, he jumped to the side, onto the adjacent roof. A long whip suddenly appeared in his hand, coiled onto the branch of a tree by the street, and he swung over like Spider-man.
By the time those silhouettes came chasing from the campus and arrived at the rooftop, there was no sign of Zhang Che. They only managed to catch a glimpse of his figure – it was a tall caucasian male, his blond hair was especially eye-catching.
The leader of the group was a well-built middle-aged man in his forties or fifties. Seeing the complicated residential district in front of them, he could only scatter the team and hope to catch up to the a.s.sa.s.sin. “Spread out and give chase!”
Of course, they were very clear in their hearts that it was almost impossible to catch him in such an environment.
However, the victim was a descendant of the Miyazaki Clan, after all. If the inst.i.tution didn’t do a thing, they would be hard-pressed to explain themselves.
“Yes sir!” his followers acknowledged respectfully, then scattered out towards the alleys in the residential area, searching thoroughly.
The well-built leader looked ahead with his eyes narrowed. In the next moment, he decided on a direction and quickly sped off.
After he turned a few corners, a boy about sixteen or seventeen years old suddenly appeared ahead of him, walking in his direction. Sensing the middle-aged man’s terrifying aura around him, the teenager fell to the ground, sitting on his b.u.t.t. His face went pale from fright, on the verge of tears.
The man only glanced over this boy before he continued running forward with long strides.
The boy on the ground let out a long sigh of relief. He quickly crawled up to his feet clumsily, running out of the alley in the opposite direction.
However, in the next moment, a rush of wind blew back. That middle-aged man actually came running back, stopping the boy.
“Did you see a tall blond caucasian man?” the man asked with a low voice, staring at the boy.
The boy’s eyes were filled with fear. He opened his mouth, unable to say a word, only managing to shake his head, his body trembling.
Whoos.h.!.+ Another rush of wind blew. The middle-aged man disappeared from the boy’s sight again in an instant.
—
The boy’s face was ghostly pale, staggering out of the alley.
“How freaking close! Luckily I can transform my body at will, or I might not be able to get away if that man caught up to me.”
This boy was naturally the a.s.sa.s.sin who had completed his mission, Zhang Che!
He totally didn’t expect such a powerful figure to be hiding in Rejing’s National Beastmaster Inst.i.tution. That arrow of his had instantly alerted that man just as Zhang Che released it, and that man immediately gave chase.
Although he didn’t know exactly how strong that man was, judging from that robust aura he was emitting, Zhang Che surmised that the man was at least a Tier Seven beastmaster. His physique was tempered in every way with soul force, far exceeding that of any ordinary man.
How could such a man be lacking powerful subdued beasts?
If Zhang Che didn’t have the Myriad Transformation Lizard card, granting him the ability to disguise himself as he wished, it would have been an extremely difficult task to escape from the pursuit of that expert.
-Indeed, I can’t underestimate the experts in the world just because of my fortuitous encounters!- , Zhang Che lamented as he walked out the alley with quick steps.
It seemed like he had to be much more cautious in his next operation. He couldn’t afford to be careless at all.
He was in a foreign land, after all. No one would be there to help him if anything happened. If he really found himself in a difficult situation, it would be way too difficult to escape!

Soon, the Miyazaki Clan received news of Miyazaki Yuuichi being a.s.sa.s.sinated on the campus grounds.
This was the first time a member of the Miyazaki Clan was a.s.sa.s.sinated on their home turf. It could be well imagined how furious they were.
The Miyazaki Clan mobilized their forces right away, investigating that a.s.sa.s.sin with all their might.
Soon, a first-hand information report was submitted to the Miyazaki Clan’s executives.
Not only that, they even obtained the surveillance feed of a satellite in outer s.p.a.ce, fully exposing the a.s.sa.s.sin’s body build and facial features.
However, everything came to an end there.
It was as if that caucasian man had appeared from thin air. There wasn’t any information on the man in any of Rejing’s border records. It was like he just popped up in Rejing out of nowhere.
Also, after that man completed his a.s.sa.s.sination, he quickly escape into the dense residential area nearby. Due to the obstruction of the houses and trees, the surveillance satellite was unable to determine his eventual whereabouts. It was like he just disappeared from the world.
Miyazaki Takehara smashed a porcelain teacup on the ground furiously. He gave an order with a darkened expression, “Go investigate this matter thoroughly! Even if Rejing has to be turned upside down, you have to find that guy who dared to challenge our Miyazaki Clan!”
——
The a.s.sa.s.sination of a Miyazaki Clan’s descendant had stirred all of Rejing.
However, there was no progress on the investigation of that Caucasian. During the next twelve hours, more grievous news arrived. Two more Miyazaki Clan members were a.s.sa.s.sinated!
Although those two members weren’t from the younger generation, each of them were middle level members in charge of certain affairs. Their cause of death was exactly the same as Miyazaki Yuuichi: shot through the head with an alloy arrow from a kilometer away!
Not only that, the ones who sniped them were a black man and a bald, well-built Caucasian man.
It was obvious that this was a premeditated conspiracy from some overseas faction to a.s.sa.s.sinate the Miyazaki Clan members.
The Miyazaki Clan was thoroughly enraged!
They had never suffered such provocation before. Having three important clan members a.s.sa.s.sinated in a day, not to mention it being done within their sphere of influence! How could they possibly endure this?
Thereafter, the Miyazaki Clan mobilized all their forces, conducting a thorough search, leaving almost no stone untouched. They searched through the streets and alleys of j.a.pan, as well as the hotels and inns.
Not only that, the Miyazaki Clan’s search this time not only had their attention on the unfamiliar white and black people, they also investigated any people with questionable origins.
Zhang Che knew that it was impossible for him to continue taking action.
If he insisted on doing so, he might run into the experts of the Miyazaki Clan. At that time, he might not even have the time to switch ident.i.ties, and could only surrender obediently.
