Chapter 15: Chapter 15 Passive Go-Slow_1
“This little girl is quite vicious!”
Fu Qian looked expressionlessly at the woman who had transformed into a Wolverine.
To deal with an ordinary bodyguard, she even brought out this kind of thing.
Captain Gu beside him had already changed color abruptly and stealthily made a hand signal, telling him to concede as quickly as possible when the time came.
Fu Qian waved his hand, indicating not to worry.
These blades looked intimidating, but they were not long enough. Unless they hit a vital spot, they couldn’t cause much damage, at most a skin laceration or flesh wound.
Generally speaking, those who liked to play with such flashy things often weren’t that strong in ability.
At this time, the butler had already very thoughtfully arranged for people to clear the surroundings, cleaning up an open space.
He didn’t necessarily enjoy this kind of farce, but he wasn’t going to stop it now that things had developed to this point.
“Don’t blink, big brother, I’m about to start!”
The Little Wolf Girl smiled charmingly and called out in a soft voice.
She stuck out her bright red tongue and licked the blade on her fingertip. The next moment, she transformed into a shadow and rushed in front of Fu Qian in an instant, swinging her hand towards his face.
It won’t do!
Confronted with this malicious strike, Fu Qian just frowned.
Am I too strong, or is she too weak? There’s absolutely none of that sensation of facing Miss Wen’s terrifying blade light.
Perhaps in the eyes of others, this woman moved as fast as lightning, unstoppable.
But Fu Qian didn’t even move his lower body. He simply turned his face and dodged the strike.
More than that, he even turned his head back at the fastest speed.
If someone’s eyesight weren’t good, they might think that the Little Wolf Girl had missed.
“You’ve got some skills!”
The woman swiftly stepped back and sized him up, doubt and surprise in her gaze.
Unfortunately, Fu Qian didn’t pay her any attention and instead glanced over at Young Master Ye’s side.
The middle-aged man who had gotten out of the car with him seemed obviously stronger than the others to Fu Qian.
If that man made a move, it would probably be more meaningful than the Little Wolf Girl’s attempts.
At this moment, the latter had a serious expression, squinting and staring at him intently.
To get him to take action, it might require a bit of provocation.
“Come on again!”
The Little Wolf Girl clenched her teeth.
Not sure if it was rage fueled by feeling looked down upon, but this time her speed was even faster than before, with her blade-tipped fingers producing a sharp whistling sound.
However, the next moment, the Little Wolf Girl felt a pain in her wrist and was shocked to find her arm had been grabbed by the target with one hand.
Even though her target was within an arm’s reach, she couldn’t continue her attack.
Turns out I’ve become this strong.
Fu Qian, holding her wrist, mused internally.
“Which tier of Transcendent are you?”
“Eighth… Phase… Who on earth are you!”
Not understanding why he was asking this, even the not-so-smart Little Wolf Girl realized she had badly misjudged the situation.
How could this guy possibly be just an ordinary bodyguard!
Eighth Phase? Your senior brother is much stronger than you.
Fu Qian snorted.
She’s actually at the Eighth Phase? It feels like I could handle ten of her with no problem!
The Thug Form seems to be more powerful than I thought.
As for the Little Wolf Girl with the twisted expression, Fu Qian certainly had no sense of pity.
She hadn’t been polite at all in her approach.
She pulled out her claws to deal with an ordinary person, aiming each move at his face.
It was clear that she was keenly trying to anticipate Young Master Ye’s desires, perhaps aiming to disfigure him.
How malicious of you; you just destroyed a child’s dreams!
Fu Qian took a breath and tightened his grip.
The Little Wolf Girl screamed in agony as the blades fell from her hands to the ground.
Before her scream ended, a wild force hit her side, sending her flying like a cannonball.
Amidst a loud crash, the Little Wolf Girl slammed into the car they had arrived in, struggling three times without managing to get up.
“Not bad, right?”
After kicking his opponent away, Fu Qian turned back.
Young Master Ye’s face was a marvelous sight at this moment, his eyes glued to Fu Qian’s leg that had just kicked someone.
Clearly, even he couldn’t have managed such a dashing kick.
Not just him, Captain Gu’s eyeballs were about to fall to the ground.
“Be careful.”
The middle-aged man beside Young Master Ye moved forward with a guarded face, shielding him behind his body.
Good.
Seeing the middle-aged man about to make a move, Fu Qian was not alarmed but rather elated.
The woman just now was really not enough of a challenge.
What’s that old saying?
If you’re seeking thrills, then go all the way.
Since they had started to fight, with these people’s approach, making peace was out of the question, so he might as well knock them all down as fast as possible—
[Wen Li has died, containment failed]
[Evaluation: Negative, dereliction of duty]
[Punishment: SAN Points decrease by 5, current SAN Points are 37]
Just as a big fight was about to erupt, a prompt suddenly rang in his ears.
… Are you freaking kidding me?
I knew this mission wouldn’t be so simple, but to die just like this?
Fu Qian, teleported back to the warehouse, was quite shocked.
Without any noise, and certainly as a Transcendent of no low level, within the heavily guarded Wen Family Mansion, she just died without a sound?
It seemed his premonition was not wrong; this mission was far more difficult than he had imagined.
And to think it considered him negligent, reducing his SAN Points by 5 directly.
That was equivalent to five lives, utterly infuriating.
Fu Qian was incredibly saddened in that moment, the joy of leveling up completely washed away.
He decided to put all the blame on Young Master Ye and his band of hooligans.
[Event Replay]
Instead of joining the fray again immediately, Fu Qian decisively chose to replay the process that had just occurred.
Five minutes and twelve seconds, Wen Li died, mission failed.
[Consumed 1 SAN Point, attempting containment again]
After confirming the time of Wen Li’s death, Fu Qian touched the Mist Gate.
The Wen Family Mansion appeared once more.
This time, without waiting for Captain Gu to give any admonishment, Fu Qian took the initiative to approach him with his question.
“I heard Miss Wen is a genius Transcendent, currently at least at the Seventh Phase, does she really need our protection?”
“Boy, you’re quite informed!”
Captain Gu looked at Fu Qian with surprise.
“I just heard it through the grapevine. It’s said that her abilities are of the psychic type, and before ascending to the Middle Tier, her physical constitution is very fragile, barely better than an ordinary person.
This is also why so many assassins have recently appeared, all wanting to snuff her out in the cradle, because once she upgrades, she’ll be much more difficult to deal with.”
This was indeed an explanation; Captain Gu’s gossiping abilities were not bad.
Fu Qian looked up to see the butler walking out of the villa, and soon Young Master Ye’s car would arrive.
The next step was to figure out how Miss Wen had died.
According to the way things had unfolded just then, Miss Wen would die in 5 minutes and 12 seconds.
He had at most 5 minutes now.
But how to confirm it?
After the previous physical exchange, Fu Qian had a full understanding of his own combat capabilities.
Around the square were a dozen tall white pillars, all carved out of solid stone.
Seeing Young Master Ye’s car approaching, Fu Qian quietly neared one of the pillars and fiercely kicked the base of it.
Half a minute later, accompanied by a muffled sound.
The pillar crashed to the ground with a loud thud.
Screams erupted, and the piercing alarm rang out instantly.
Young Master Ye’s car hadn’t even come to a complete stop when four people burst out of it like lightning.
The welcoming team behind the butler instantly descended into chaos.
Seizing the chaos, Fu Qian blended into the stream of people and sneaked into the villa.
