Chapter 186: The Arrival of Big King
by xennovelChapter 186: Big King
On a busy street, Xiao Yu strolled leisurely.
He looked like a tourist sporting a radiant smile.
His eyes swept over the scenery around him…
It had been more than a week since the operation to capture ‘Little King’.
And today marked the final day of the system task deadline.
Although his face wore a smile, inside Xiao Yu seethed with irritation.
Was the system task doomed to fail?
“Big King, why haven’t you shown up?”
Muttering to himself as he strolled.
The Old Man had ended the ‘Little King’ capture mission with absolute certainty.
“You’ll die—Big King will show you what true…”
True what?
Assassins!
Why are you so sure that ‘Big King’ will come after me?
Suddenly.
Xiao Yu halted in his tracks.
He stared blankly into the distance, fixated on a young man standing about twenty meters away on a street.
Facing the ‘257’, the youth smiled!
Thanks to ‘Falcon’s Eye’, Xiao Yu could clearly see the young man’s features.
He was absolutely sure that the man was smiling at him—a silly, daft grin.
Indeed, when the youth grinned, he looked like a complete fool.
One might even say he seemed foolish at first glance.
His expression was off, a constant silly grin plastered across his face, while his neck twitched sporadically like a cramp and one arm trembled uncontrollably.
The young man raised his hand hesitantly, still sporting that goofy smile.
Xiao Yu’s gaze locked onto the man’s hand where he noticed a… glass ball!
At the sight of the glass ball, his expression changed drastically.
He sensed that something terrible was about to happen.
Then, Xiao Yu watched as the seemingly foolish youth casually tossed the glass ball aside.
His eyes followed the ball as it gently hit the ground, shattering a small piece.
Yet that tiny fragment didn’t stop the ball from rolling.
It kept rolling… all the way to the road before coming to a halt.
The missing piece made its stop remarkably steady.
So steady that a motorcycle ran over it.
Normally, with a motorcycle’s weight and speed, stepping on a glass ball should be insignificant.
But fate had other plans.
The motorcycle’s tire shifted slightly because of the glass ball.
The distracted rider suddenly lost control, and the bike skidded…
A cold shiver shot through Xiao Yu’s heart.
A silent warning echoed in his mind, as if screaming: Run! It’s dangerous—if you don’t, you’ll die!
A flashback surged into Xiao Yu’s thoughts.
He remembered the accident at the orphanage—the manhole explosion.
Had it not been for him, the five-year-old child and the staff would have perished in that blast!
Inside, conflicting voices emerged.
Two voices clashed loudly in his mind.
One shouted, “Run! It’s too dangerous—if you don’t, you’ll really die!”
The other retorted, “How can you, a coward, abandon innocent lives?”
Images of his parents flashed through his mind like a slideshow.
Then the gentle smile of his sister appeared.
Finally, the scene of taking the oath before the Red Flag at the police academy resurfaced…
Xiao Yu grinned.
Maybe he was a bit of an idiot.
But…
“I am a police officer!”
…
Xiao Yu stood frozen in place.
He knew the youth wouldn’t dare make a move.
Otherwise… too many lives could be lost!
The young man’s goofy smile broadened, his joy deepened, and his eyes turned colder and even more sinister…
“Big King!” Xiao Yu sighed.
He never expected
that the head of a terrifying Assassin Group
would turn out to be a foolish young man.
Is he really that stupid?
Just like Wei Shen in his past life.
If you think this guy is a fool,
you’ll soon find out that you’re the real idiot!
As his gaze returned to the now-sliding motorcycle, Xiao Yu’s expression calmed.
He watched as the motorcycle, propelled by inertia, left a trail of sparks on the road.
It collided with a car…
Boom!
The car, overwhelmed by speed, pinned the motorcycle down.
In an instant, the car was thrown airborne.
It hurtled toward the spot where Xiao Yu stood…
Activating ‘Cheetah Speed’ and ‘Bear Force’!
In that instant,
Xiao Yu’s body slammed into a startled bystander.
His furious form barreled forward like a tank, plowing through pedestrians.
In the process, he grabbed a woman’s arm with one hand and an old man’s arm with the other.
He propelled them forward until, suddenly, everything came to a halt.
The brutal inertia flung all three of them apart.
He twisted, kicked with his legs, and surged in the opposite direction.
In a heartbeat, Xiao Yu charged at two pedestrians on the other side.
Boom! The impact sent them flying, along with Xiao Yu himself…
Until finally…
Rumble!
The airborne car crashed onto the street that Xiao Yu had just cleared.
Gasps and screams erupted all around.
The car slammed into a fruit stall,
overturning it as fruits flew everywhere…
And at that very moment,
Xiao Yu was already on his feet, dashing like lightning toward the young man twenty meters away.
He first sprinted onto the road,
even though cars were zooming past.
Seeing pedestrians, numerous drivers slammed on their brakes.
But then…
Bang, bang, bang!
Fruit began to rain down, pelting a bus’s windshield.
The bus driver, intending to brake to avoid hitting Xiao Yu,
was startled as countless fruits smashed onto the windshield.
In the chaos, instead of braking, he accidentally hit the accelerator.
Buzz… The bus careened toward Xiao Yu at full speed!
Activating ‘Spirit of the Raccoon Cat’!
Unable to dodge, Xiao Yu had to summon every bit of strength and leap sharply opposite to the oncoming bus.
Had he collided head-on, the impact could have shattered bones and torn muscles.
Armed with ‘Bear Force’ and ‘Cheetah Speed’, Xiao Yu chose to channel the collision’s force.
Combined with ‘Spirit of the Raccoon Cat’…
Boom!
The bus slammed into Xiao Yu.
Crack!
The searing pain nearly made him pass out.
Moreover, his right arm (2.7 meters long) was dislocated by the impact!
His body was flung upward, escaping the bus’s collision path and landing on the opposite side of the road.
Boom!
Xiao Yu crashed to the ground.
The moment he hit,
‘Medical Expert’ assessed his condition.
His right arm was dislocated, two ribs on his right chest were broken, and his muscles suffered multiple contusions and strains…
Activating ‘Salamander Regeneration’… Xiao Yu smiled.
Luckily, his body could still function at about sixty percent capacity.
That was enough!
Planting his left hand on the ground and pushing off with his thigh,
Xiao Yu rocketed upward.
In the process, his left hand landed on his right shoulder.
Crack… A joint technique.
Xiao Yu restored his dislocated right arm.
Still, his body kept moving.
He charged toward the young man not far away.
Raising his hand, he grabbed a gun.
Pulling the trigger!
