BXBX NOVEL Chapter 145: The Client!
She slowly moved leaning on his chest with a giggle "I was quick to get the contract and accepted the assassination request. But when I saw your face in the photo I was instantly thrilled and fell in love with you at first sight."
"The price money is really huge and the client has said that if I could bring you alive, they would even pay me extra money. That's how thirsty they are to kill you."
Zhao Tian looked at the woman leaning on him with a crazy smile on her face "So, you don't know who the client is?"
"Hm?" Zahra Ashante turned her head slightly, and she took a sniff of his intoxicating fragrance theblush onhercheeksintensified.
With a delighted squeal "Haanh! Tiannnn~~~~" She jumped, her arms wrapping around his neck as she rubbed her body on him, her chest brushing with his.
Zhao Tian's lips twitched in frustration and grabbed her face pushing her "E-Ehhh? Tiann Tiann..." In response, Zahra Ashante held onto him tightly, her grip refusing to loosen as she desperately clung to him.
A sigh escaped his lips seeing her clutching on him like a koala and retracted his hand. "Haha... Tian..." .Zahra Ashante nuzzled her face into his neck, savoring the comforting heat radiating from him.
Is she acting or is she really crazy and loves me? Zhao Tian shook his head helplessly and spoke "Can you find who is the client who wanted to kill me?"
Hearing this Zahra Ashante's eyes narrowed "The client who wanted to kill you... hm. I will try to gain that information but it would be quite hard."
Zhao Tian gave a slight nod and Zahra Ashante's raised her gaze looking at Zhao Tian's blue eyes, her eyes overflowing with love.
Inthatmoment,shecouldsensethedoubtlingeringinhismind "I know you are thinking that I don't really love you and I am just acting."
"So to prove my love, I will do whatever it takes to find the client who wanted to kill you." she said and retracted herself from him.
But as she again looked at him, her eyes quivered "One last time..." she whispered before leaping into his arms, snuggling her body with him as her hands ran over her back.
She took a deep breath inhaling his scent and nodded her head in satisfaction "Now, I am leaving..."She took a step back and flew away from there.
-_- Zhao Tian stood there dumbfounded. the fuck?
...
*creek* Zhao Tian opened the apartment's door and entered inside. Mei Xiu, who was sitting at the dining table stood up her eyes locking with his and a slight blush appeared on her cheeks.
With a soft smile, Zhao Tian walked near her and Mei Xiu suddenly took a step forward hugging him. Though a little surprised Zhao Tian hugged her back.
Leaning on his arms, she muttered in a gentle tone "Sorry Tian, if I did something uncomfortable... As I said this is my first time experiencing this so... I am not sure what to do."
"I didn't think you would leave the apartment because of that..."
Eh? Zhao Tian couldn't help but chuckle hearing her words and gently raised her chin, his eyes locking with her brown eyes "It's not because of you... I remembered an important job I had to do, so I quickly went back to do that."
Mei Xiu blinked her eyes in surprise "R-Really?"
Zhao Tian sighed in his heart seeing her aloofness but he also found it cute and chuckled in his heart. He leaned in placing a soft kiss on her lips. *smooch*
Mei Xiu couldn't help but respond to the kiss, feeling her heart swell with tenderness as she closed her eyes, fully embracing the moment. Retracting the kiss, a deep sigh escaped Mei Xiu's lips.
Seeing her sigh like this, Zhao Tian asked in concern "What's the matter, Xiu?"
Mei Xiu leaned on his shoulder, her voice filled with sadness "It's my Grandma. Her health is getting worse and I am scared."
...
Dressed in flowing black robes, a woman steadily made her way down the long and eerie hallway. The dimly lit corridor seemed to dance with flickering lights and many people were standing leaning on the walls, their faces also concealed.
As they gazed at the figure walking, they lowered their gazes as they knew how terrifying she is and she is famous inside their Assassination Organization.
"I-It is the Windwhisper..."
"Yeah, but she seems kinda mad today... I mean feel the intense killing intent oozing out from her. I feel like I would throw up just from that aura."
Zahra Ashante caught a quick glimpse of the man who had just made a comment about her and feeling the piercing gaze the man shivered and turned his gaze.
Zahra Ashante continued her walk before reaching a normal wooden door. *thud* She kicked the door open and entered inside.
Inside the room, there is a man sitting on the chair leaning back comfortably closing his eyes, as his legs are on top of the table in front of him.
The man didn't open his eyes and spoke calmly "Windwhisper, control your killing intent, you would scare the rookies here."
Zahra Ashante's voice carried a chilling coldness as she spoke "Boss, I want to know the client who wanted to kill the target Zhao Tian."
The man spoke keeping his calm demeanor "You know we won't disclose the client's information."
*swish* A powerful astral energy burst from Zahra Ashante's body and the man slightly opened his eyelids revealing his red eyes, quite confused by her actions as he knew the Windwhisper wouldn't act like this.
"What happened?"
Zahra Ashante spoke keeping her cold tone "You know for us, information about the target is crucial. But what if the client gave the wrong information about the target?"
"The Information is wrong?" The man asked with a slight frown.
Zahra Ashante gave a nod "It is mentioned that the target must be around Heaven Astral Stage or Sovereign Astral Stage. But actually, the target is in the 9th level of Emperor Astral Stage."
"Three levels above me and I was almost killed by the target. But I somewhat escaped from the target and reached here."
"So, I want to know who the fuck dared to give fake information which almost got me killed."
"Haha!" The man suddenly burst into laughter upon hearing Zahra Ashante's story and Zahra Ashante narrowed her eyes.
"Boss?" Zahra Ashante spoke confused.
The man shook his head with a slight chuckle "No, I just remembered a guy named Chi Jin. He asked for normal assassins to kill a target."
"But there was actually a cultivator with the target who killed our assassins and later called for a refund. I just remembered about him."
The man again turned his eyes at Zahra Ashante "But... I can't reveal the Client to you as you know our Eclipse Order works on mutual trust between the clients and us."
Zahra Ashante kinda anticipated this and said "Then I am leaving the Eclipse Order.,"
Hm? The man narrowed his eyes "You will leave?"
Zahra Ashante nodded her head "I have been working with this organization for many years and completed various missions. And I asked for one request and if you couldn't do that, I don't think I need to be in this organization."
The man's face turned grim upon hearing this, but he made a quick decision "We can get many clients, but we only have one Windwhisper."
The man raised his hand and from the shelves, a document floated and came near Zahra Ashante "Though I am surprised that powerful cultivators in Emperor Stage are also lurking in the human world."
Zahra Ashante gave a nod, took the document in her hand, and saw Zhao Tian's picture in it. She flipped the page to look at the Client's name "Zhu Kim." a cold mutter escaped her lips.
"I'll be back." She placed the document and turned to leave. "Be careful with the Ombudsman." The man said before Zahra Ashante left the room.
After she left, the man shook his head as a slow smile appeared on his lips "She trained under me, but now she is raising her voice against me... she has grown."
...
Next day morning~
Zhao Tian who was lying on the bed gently caressed Zhao Suyin's hair who was lying on top of him naked. *ring* At this time, his phone rang.
Zhao Tian turned his head and took his mobile from the nightstand. Seeing the name, he attended the call with a smile on his face "Miya, Good Morning..."
Chi Miya giggled "Good Morning and Tian.... are you the one who did that?"
Zhao Tian was confused. "Did what?"
Chi Miya replied, "Just see the news." She knew Zhao Tian was the one who killed Zhu Xian but the current news...
Hm? Zhao Tian entered the Ytube app and saw the latest news.
"Zhu Manor was destroyed?"
