Chapter 190: There’s No Good End To Being A Lackey

Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio

The Big Red Rock was a barren mountain close to the coast. It was not so much a mountain, but a huge rock, standing proudly beside the sea. As the exposed rock was dark red, it was known as Big Red Rock.

There were few people here, for no one would come here at night.

Jia Zheng was looking around cautiously. His face is pale and his forehead was sweating. “Has the enemy left? I can’t hold on any longer.”

“There are six people 100 meters in front of us, four people at three o’clock, five people at nine o’clock… They didn’t leave. They surrounded the land. That guy didn’t listen. He’s hiding. He’s going to kill us anytime.”

The person that spoke was Chu Lin. The law enforcement department’s black combat uniform outlined her beautiful figure.

Chu Lin was only a middle-level employee, but she had a high reputation in the Fuzhou branch because of her appearance and background. She was a demon descendant born into a famous family in Fuzhou, the direct descendant of the Chu family. The Chu family was associated with royalty, and there were people in the imperial court, so they had always been in the same breath with the Fuzhou branch.

Jia Zheng’s ability was stealth. He was able to astringe his breath and integrate with the surrounding environment. Chu Lin’s ability was super hearing. She was also a support member of the team.

Qi Bin, a senior employee, was the anchor of this three-man team. He was famous for its physical skills within the Fuzhou branch. But, at the moment, this powerful elder fighter had been defeated by others in his best field. His left arm and his right sternum was broken. He was seriously injured.

They came to the seaside this time to investigate a smuggling case. According to the information they had, this smuggling gang was not a big one, with only two demon descendants. Their combat power was not high. The others were ordinary people.

After sneaking over, it was found that the number of demon descendants was inconsistent with the intelligence. However, the most powerful figure on the other side possessed the skill level of middle-level employees, which was not enough for the team to fear them.

Hence, the three people made a plan to attract the enemy’s attention. Qi Bin was in charge of confronting the enemy head-on, while Jia Zheng was to sneak into the enemy’s ship cabin to check their smuggled goods.

After a short fight, Qi Bin, the senior employee, was defeated quickly. There was a super master lurking within the enemy lines. He defeated Qi Bin with an absolute advantage. If Chu Lin had not taken out a small handgun and shot the mythical man at the critical moment, earning an escape opportunity for Qi Bin, Fuzhou Branch would have lost a senior employee today.

Jia Zheng took the opportunity to create chaos in the cabin and stole their smuggled goods. Chu Lin and Qi Bin escaped triumphantly.

However, a temporary escape could only provide them with a chance to breathe. Now, they were trapped in this forest.

They hid behind the bushes and leaned on a big tree. Jia Zheng was supporting the stealth field, creating a temporary safe environment for the three people. However, he could not hold on for much longer. When he supported such a field, his energy was consumed all the time. The key was that javelin.

A pure black javelin, two meters long, with a sharpened iron bar. The workmanship was simple. There were no fancy spots. However, the first time he saw it, it wasn’t like this. It was placed in a wooden box full of runes. There were strange, tadpole-like incantations on the dark gun. Those incantations flowed with blood light, like living tadpoles.

Most of Jia Zheng’s strength was used to seal the javelin and suppress its overflowing aura. Hence, it looked like a very simple javelin at the moment.

Chu Lin reached out and stroked the javelin. She couldn’t tell what material it was made of. It did not feel cold, but very warm instead. It felt like jade, but not as smooth.

“What the hell is this?” Chu Lin whispered.

It was one of the smuggled goods. Jia Zheng had stolen it.

“Whatever it is, Jia Zheng, take it with you. If you are alone, you should be able to escape. The other side is a S-level master. It must have some special ability, for an expert to escort this item. You have to bring it back to the company.” Qi Bin, who had never spoken prior to this, said as he leaned against the tree.

He was pale, and his left arm shrugged weakly. “I have a bottle of Real Men for Five Seconds in my hand. I can help you attract their firepower and stall them. However, in this way, Chu Lin may not be able to leave too.”

Chu Lin forced out a wry smile, but she didn’t speak, which was equivalent to approving of the captain’s arrangement.

“How can we do that? Let’s vote. If it’s two to one, even if it is your order, Captain, I won’t stop.” Jia Zheng winked at Chu Lin.

“You leave with your things,” Chu Lin said.

“Hey, it’s like the whole team is scared of me. If the two of you die here, what am I supposed to do? Be a lone ranger? I will be killed by your admirers. Since we are all dead, I will not go,” Jia Zheng said.

In fact, Jia Zheng had also been secretly in love with Chu Lin, but this girl’s taste was too high. The classy flower couldn’t see the scum, and the office goddess couldn’t see the typical employee. Jia Zheng was an average civil servant who could compete with the people around his rank, but not above. As they had interacted with each other for long periods, he had stopped entertaining this thought.

“Don’t you say you want to go to the Taoist conference to see Jie Se and Dan Chenzi? Aren’t you obsessed with the Demonic Priest’s descendant as well?” Jia Zheng said.

“Stop it,” Chu Lin said, covering her chest in pain. “I don’t want to die for my job upon thinking of these long-legged oppas.”

Jie Se was the direct disciple of Buddha Head. He had many disciples, but Jie Se was the only Gokudo Path inheritor, which meant that he will take over the position of Buddha Head in the future. Besides, he was also a monk. Many women wanted to hook up with him, so that they could tempt him to break the Buddhist rules.

Men liked clean women, but they can’t help but want to dirty her. The same was true of women.

Dan Chenzi was not a Gokudo Path Inheritor. He was an outstanding disciple of Shangqing Sect. His fame was not because of his martial arts prowess, but because of his appearance and temperament. The name given to him by the outside world was: character as plain as a chrysanthemum, easy to escape from the world.

In the past, when Li Peiyun was a nobody, Jie Se and Dan Chenzi were the two most popular online celebrities in the demon descendants’ community.

As for another person, the rising star of the Li family…

He had a bad reputation. When he fought for the remains of the Demonic Priest, he became famous instantly, but not for good reasons. It was said that he had some magic which targeted women especially. There were not many people in the demon descendants’ community who believed in this rumor at present. However, his tarnished reputation was a truth. He was not as good-looking as Jie Se and Dan Chenzi as well.

In addition, he was not very active recently, so his popularity could not compare with the aforementioned people.

“Let’s wait. The company has sent someone to support us. There may be experts nearby,” Jia Zheng said.

As long as a senior employee arrived, they would be able to stall till the company’s reinforcements arrived.

“Do you think it’s possible?” Chu Lin smiled bitterly.

This was not a busy city. A senior employee nearby? The odds were slim, and if it was not a senior employee, he would just be seeking death.

At this time, a subtle breathing sound was caught by Chu Lin. It was intermittent and seemingly absent.

It seemed that a ghost was breathing in her ear. Chu Lin’s hair was cold and her face turned pale. How can a ghost compare to the sound in her ear? This was the God of Death.

Chu Lin forced herself to calm down. She began to restrain her powers. When the area was small, her hearing became incredibly sharp.

The sound of intermittent breathing became clearer…

Overhead!

Without thinking about it, Chu Lin said in a loud voice, “He’s on top of us. We’ve been found!”

Almost at the same time, the three men tumbled out, and a murderous aura descended from the sky. The human figure on the tree jumped into the air. The three-man team were completely exposed.

Bang! Bang! A few gunshots were heard.

As Chu Lin rolled on the ground, she fired two shots behind her.

The man under the tree had been on guard for a long time. He did not move. The bullet stopped three meters away from him. They lost all kinetic energy and fell to the ground weakly.

“Magnetic field? Repulsion power? Absolute field?” Chu Lin’s heart sank. Prior to this, she had managed to penetrate the man’s chest with a bullet, but it was immediately repelled by an invisible force. Now, bullets didn’t even come close.

“It’s a repulsion power,” said Qi Bin.

Repulsive power was rare. It was the bane of all close combat. This ability was more powerful than absolute field. Absolute field was just to build a solid defense field, which could be broken by brute force. However, repulsive power could even repel the attack and return the attack in the same way.

The man held the black javelin and breathed a sigh of relief. Short blonde hair, iron gray eyes, thick Germanic character. That was to describe the standard German.

Chu Lin’s heart moved. She shot again and aimed at the black javelin.

The German man’s face changed as he stopped the bullet with his body.

“Attack the javelin! It should be a fragile object!” cried Chu Lin.

“Don’t worry about it, Jia Zheng, you take Chu Lin out of the siege. I’ll stall him.” Qi Bin took a bottle of medicine from his wallet and poured it into his mouth.

In an instant, his breathing intensified several times, his skin turned blood red, as a stream of steam emanated from the top of his head.

The Real Man for Five Seconds drug was essentially a kind of poison to suppress the potential of genes. Even if the drug addicts didn’t die, there would be severe aftereffects.

The people who were searching in the distance heard the sound of the gun, and they had made their way here. Each of them was armed with a gun, and they were the outlaws who had blood on their hands. In a real fight, Chu Lin and Jia Zheng would not be able to cope with the siege of more than ten demon descendants.

“Go, go!” Jia Zheng was roaring as he dragged Chu Lin through the siege.

The gunshots rang out, and a group of people rushed in front of them. It was not possible to dodge bullets at a distance of a few tens of meters. Dodging bullets was a necessary skill for middle-level employees.

After Chu Lin returned a few shots, the two sides fought each other at close distances.

Chu Lin and Jia Zheng were not refined fighters. Fortunately, the overall prowess of the opponents were not high. As middle-level employees, they did not struggle to deal with them, but the pace of their retreat was hindered.

This was fatal. Enemies from other directions were coming. With every second they were delayed, they would be in more danger.

After another struggle, Jia Zheng gradually lost his strength. His previous stealth exploits had consumed his physical strength.

Jia Zheng looked back. The enemies from all sides were tens of meters away.

“I can’t leave,” he said. “Hey, there’s something I want to tell you.”

“No, you’re ugly!” Chu Lin said.

Jia Zheng’s breathing was smothered as he felt a bit awkward. “We are all going to die. Can’t you go against your conscience and say something nice?”

“So, a ruthless woman like me is not worthy of your love. If you activate your stealth now, you still can escape. I will cover you and help you gain time.” Chu Lin said, “I belong to Jie Se Oppa and Dan Chenzi Oppa, oh, and Li Peiyun Oppa.”

“So many oppas, which one do you like?”

“Children do multiple choice questions. I want all of them.” Chu Lin added, “But you’re not in the options.”

She had a gun in her left hand, a knife in her right hand, short hair, nice ears, and a bullet scratch on her face. Her leather combat suit outlined her tall figure, accentuating her obvious curves. Handsome and beautiful, yet her mouth said ruthless words.

Jia Zheng knew that she was letting him escape.

“What a callous woman,” Jia Zheng said, breaking out towards the left. He let bullets and army knives pierce his body at will as he crushed the skulls of two enemies. He opened up a gap with his body.

“However, only heroes save damsels in distress. The damsels don’t save the heroes. I hate women like you, who chase celebrities. You say oppa in every single sentence. You idolise those guys who don’t even look at you, yet you don’t care about those guys who stay by your side and do things for you. You take them for granted.” Jia Zheng slumped onto the ground softly.

“Jia Zheng!” Chu Lin’s eyes were red. “Are you stupid? Do you think that if you sacrifice yourself, I will change my mind and think better of you?”

He couldn’t leave. The captain couldn’t either. In the end, was she the only one who could escape.

At this instant, the enemies around them suddenly froze. A few seconds later, heads rolled down from their necks, as blood flowed like fountains. They suffered a fatal blow almost instantaneously.

Chu Lin heard a gentle meow. She turned around and saw a striped cat sitting on its feet, licking the blood on its paws.

Cat?

“Hence, there’s no good end to being a lackey.”

Chu Lin looked back and saw a young man squatting beside Jia Zheng, injecting a tube of blood into his carotid artery.
