Chapter 350 - 227, The Most Dangerous Enemy!

Chapter 350: Chapter 227, The Most Dangerous Enemy!

Tang Fei knew at first glance that they were not police. Their eyes were sinister, their actions deft, and their stances naturally formed a semi-encirclement, both relying on each other for protection and blocking their target’s way out.

Dressed in black suits suitable for enforcing the law among crowds, they bore that characteristic professional coldness.

If not assassins, then agents.

Being targeted by such people meant that one needed to strike first and decisively resolve the problem.

If they realized something was amiss and sent warning messages to their comrades, it wouldn’t be easy to get out of this alley.

After Tang Fei and Little Fatty smoothly took out those two, each dragging a body, they headed toward Phoenix Avenue.

They couldn’t just leave the bodies here; that would be too conspicuous and might alert their teammates...

If they discovered the bodies and blocked the exits of the alley, wouldn’t that be like trapping turtles in a jar?

All they needed to do was reach the main road, throw the bodies into the crowd, and that would surely cause panic...

They would then join in the panic, scattering and fleeing with the crowd.

Even if their pursuers realized something was wrong, they wouldn’t know who had done it, helpless against the densely fleeing crowd.

"Chen Jinlong..." someone called from behind.

"Don’t look back," Tang Fei whispered. "Just keep walking forward."

"Okay, okay..." Little Fatty, at a loss, heard Tang Fei’s instructions and immediately dragged the body forward.

"Chen Jinlong..."

Rapid footsteps came from behind; without a response from their comrade, they were apparently trying to catch up and see what was happening.

"Stop!"

"Stop right there..."

"Chen Jinlong..."

Tang Fei tossed the body he was carrying to the ground and retreated backward as fast as lightning.

The Dog Leg Knife in his hand, as if endowed with vision, slit their throats with crisp sounds.

Their eyes bulged with disbelief.

Thump!

Both bodies fell to the ground at the same time.

Caught off guard, they stood no chance of fighting back or retaliating.

Now there were four bodies; he and Little Fatty would have to carry two each...

The commotion had drawn other men in black, with many running toward their location.

The best-laid plans can’t keep up with changes; Tang Fei ignored the bodies and told Little Fatty to drop the corpse he was carrying, then the three of them hurried toward the main road.

Black-clad men blocked the way ahead, and Tang Fei called out, "Little Fatty, protect him..."

He rushed forward with the Dog Leg Knife in hand and swiftly cut their throats or pierced their hearts.

Kill any who stand in the way!

In the dark of the night, amidst swirling snow, Tang Fei, clad in black with a black cloak, seemed the incarnation of Death God down to earth.

With each stroke of his knife, a black-clad man fell silently.

Paved in blood and sacrifices, Tang Fei carved a path for them with the blade in his hand.

After traversing the nearly hundred-meter alley, they finally reached the mouth of the alley, ready to merge with the main force and blend into the crowd, when Zhong Jiayuan led a group of Monitoring Bureau constables to the scene.

They were on duty in the area, checking for suspects.

"Brother Tang Fei," Zhong Jiayuan called out.

"Brother Zhong..." Tang Fei looked at Zhong Jiayuan with a puzzled face and asked, "Brother Zhong, still on a mission? During the festive season, won’t you go back to unite with your family?"

"Yes," Zhong Jiayuan said with a bitter smile. "The felon hasn’t been caught yet; I have to keep vigil here..."

He looked at Tang Fei’s outfit and asked with confusion, "Brother Tang Fei, what is this?"

He remembered what the Director had said; why did the Princess happen to call at this time?

Could this man indeed be in contact with the murderer?

But why? What reason could there be?

He was a refugee who had migrated from the Old Land, rootless and unaffiliated with any power.

If one really had to assign him to a faction, he ought to belong to the Royal Family and the Princess...

After all, it was the Royal Family’s special pardon and clinging to the Princess’ coattails that allowed him to come to New Star.

Would such a person harbor an Assassin?

Would such a person oppose the Royal Family and act against the Empire?

It made no sense!

"Going to celebrate the New Year," Tang Fei said with a smile. "It’s my first New Year on New Star, and I want to experience the festive atmosphere..."

Zhong Jiayuan’s gaze fell on Little Fatty and Bai Wuxin, who were next to Tang Fei, and asked, "And who might these two be?"

"My brother..."

Before Tang Fei could finish speaking, someone shouted from behind, "Murder! There’s been a murder! Somebody help..."

Clearly, the body they had disposed of had been discovered by a passerby.

Zhong Jiayuan’s spirits lifted, and he called out, "Brother Tang Fei, we shall gather again some other time..."

Having said that, he led his subordinates towards the commotion.

"Let’s go," whispered Tang Fei urgently.

They quickened their pace and instantly blended into the crowd.

It was not until then that Tang Fei relaxed and said, "Alright, let’s split up and move..."

"Little Fatty, come with me, Bai Wuxin..."

"I’ll go back on my own," said Bai Wuxin in a deep voice.

"Are you sure?"

"I’m fine," Bai Wuxin assured, looking at Tang Fei. "Take care."

"Take care."

Bai Wuxin’s figure quickly disappeared into the crowd, while Tang Fei and Little Fatty methodically followed the flow of people.

Unexpectedly, they bumped into that little girl again, who was curiously peeking at them from her mother’s arms.

Tang Fei made a terrifying face at her, and the little girl, frightened, burst into tears.

Angry and reproachful, her parents quickly carried their precious child away from this "Devil."

At that moment, Tang Fei suddenly felt a sense of being targeted by a dangerous energy.

It was a subtle feeling; he couldn’t see the enemy, yet he could feel that someone was watching him.

He was amid the crowd, surrounded by the hustle and bustle of people moving like a river.

Yet that person could observe his every move.

Unable to hide, unable to shake them off.

Tang Fei looked at Little Fatty and said, "Little Fatty, you should go too..."

Seeing the serious expression on Tang Fei’s face, Little Fatty asked, "Bro, what’s happening?"

"It’s nothing, just go ahead..." Tang Fei didn’t tell him the real reason and added, "It’s safer to split up."

"Brother, we haven’t done anything wrong..." Little Fatty said, bewildered.

They had safely seen off Bai Wuxin; with Bai Wuxin gone, the sword that had been hanging over their heads had vanished.

He thought it was safer to be with his brother. To split up...

Could it be that his brother had arranged to meet someone?

Little Fatty eyed Tang Fei suspiciously, scanning his face back and forth. He did not practice cultivation and had not sensed that terrifying aura.

"Move quickly," Tang Fei urged.

He knew that anyone capable of this must be an extremely skilled master,

Stronger than Ling Yunxiao who had ambushed them before.

This was the most dangerous enemy Tang Fei had ever encountered to date.
