Chapter 1119: Chapter 1117: The Battle Begins

The tense atmosphere inside the room made Wang Dadong feel extremely troubled.

Dealing with just one Maria was already difficult enough, but now Black Annie showed up… who knows if there are other forces lurking in the shadows.

At this moment, Wang Dadong felt a bit regretful. Had he known so many people would come, he would’ve brought the shemale and the drunkard along.

If they were here, rescuing people would be much easier.

The only comfort for Wang Dadong was that Yang Wanru was not at home, otherwise, rescuing three people from these two major forces at once would definitely be beyond his capabilities.

Yang Wanru’s mother was just a noodle shop owner, who had never seen such a scene, and her body trembled in fear.

“What do you, what do you want!” Daphne’s expression was extremely painful, her face as pale as a sheet.

Upon hearing this, Black Annie frowned slightly, then looked at Maria with some mockery and said, “Maria, could it be that you don’t even know what you want?”

“How could I not know.” Maria said, somewhat guilty.

In fact, she really didn’t know what the target was this time; she only heard that there was a treasure on Daphne.

If she knew, she probably wouldn’t need to torture Daphne anymore.

“But why do I feel like you don’t know?” Black Annie chuckled lightly.

Truth be told, even Black Annie didn’t really know what she was after.

But that information came from the Divine Eye, whose authenticity was beyond doubt.

The Divine Eye, the world’s largest intelligence organization, doesn’t participate in any disputes, only gathering and selling intelligence.

Black Annie wanted to bluff Maria into revealing what exactly the treasure was. After all, knowing exactly what it was would make obtaining it more possible.

Otherwise, they’d have to take Daphne back to headquarters, but taking someone from Huaxia Country is clearly much harder than bringing back an item.

Black Annie was very clever, and Maria was not stupid either. She quickly guessed Black Annie’s intention and snorted coldly, “Black Annie, it seems you don’t even know what the treasure is either?”

Black Annie didn’t hide it and said with a smile, “I really don’t know.”

“Then how about this, we join forces to take Daphne abroad, and once we get that treasure, we can discuss its ownership?” Maria proposed.

After all, this is Huaxia, and if we’re too ostentatious, we risk being permanently left on this mysterious and ancient land.

Black Annie fell into contemplation, clearly also weighing her options.

After about a minute, Black Annie spoke up, “Maria, I know very well what kind of person you are. Do you think I would cooperate with you?”

Assassins and killers seem to do similar jobs, but they don’t belong to the same category.

Assassins, while also killing people, place more emphasis on faith and honor.

Killers, however, are akin to getting paid to eliminate trouble for others, using any means necessary to achieve their goals.

Black Annie dared not ally with such a wolf who could turn on her at any moment; if she did, she could end up with not even her bones left.

“If that’s the case, then the Assassins Alliance, will vanish from now on!” Maria shouted, and she struck first.

The bamboo flute was conjured, heading straight for Black Annie’s neck.

Whoosh whoosh!

The assassins behind Black Annie shot arrows directly.

Maria’s expression changed slightly; the reason she dared to act was that she was sure Black Annie wouldn’t let her subordinates really blow up the building. After all, if the building collapsed, Daphne could very well die too.

But once started, there was no turning back; if Black Annie was not eliminated, taking Daphne away would be nothing but a pipe dream.

Against Maria’s attack, Black Annie didn’t move until Maria’s bamboo flute was less than two centimeters from her neck when her body floated backward.

As expected, Maria guessed correctly, the assassins only used ordinary arrowheads.

Soon, both sides began to engage in combat.

Huaxia’s security checks have always been very stringent, making it impossible to bring in a large number of firearms, but the Assassins Alliance and Bloody Lya were skilled in using cold weapons anyway.

In fact, whether assassins or killers, they are hidden life reapers in the shadows; their task is not only to kill targets but also not to reveal themselves, so cold weapons are the first choice.

The scenes in the hall seemed like a movie was being acted out, spectacular and striking.

The weapons of Bloody Lya were relatively uniform; except for Maria, who used a bamboo flute, all other members used standard-issue Damascus Knives.

The knife’s origin is India, made from Wootz Steel Ingots, and its surface bears a cast pattern. The blade is curved, covered with various patterns, flowing as if it were liquid, exquisitely beautiful.

The Damascus Knife’s edge is extremely sharp, able to cleave a fully armored knight in two on the battlefield, or cut a handkerchief or even silk mid-air, unrivaled in battles against other types of blades.

Moreover, this knife has a unique feature, its special smelting and casting process results in its patterns containing a peculiar chemical component, making the wound it inflicts extremely hard to heal and quick to deteriorate; in the past, with underdeveloped medical technology, many soldiers died from even a tiny wound caused by it.

This knife was once deemed the greatest knife under the heavens.

In contrast, the Assassins Alliance’s weapons were highly complex, featuring bows and arrows, darts, daggers, a wide variety of hidden weapons, along with dazzling high-tech gadgets.

These high-tech gadgets once only appeared in science fiction movies.

For instance, an arrow shot by an assassin turned into a rope upon hitting the target, binding the enemy.

Other arrowheads carried effects such as electric shocks and strong magnetic fields.

However, for the fierce members of Bloody Lya, these high-tech gadgets had little effect on them, both sides were equally matched.

As for the battle between Maria and Black Annie, it was even more intense; the bamboo flute swept through, and the cement wall shattered like foam.

Black Annie’s weapon was a Nepalese Kukri, a fearsome weapon known for being able to decapitate in one strike; heavy at the tip, light at the grip, wide in front, narrow in back, the blade thick while the edge thin, the force concentrated at the front of the blade during swinging, possessing axe-like destructive power, perfect for melee chopping and path-clearing in woodland.

Clink clank, the bamboo flute and the Nepalese Kukri struck rapidly, so fast their trajectories couldn’t be seen, only countless sparks splashed in the air.

After a bout of fighting, both sides suffered casualties, and eventually even the Bloody Lya member guarding Daphne joined the fray.

“Great opportunity!”

Wang Dadong, who had been waiting outside, finally found an opening and slipped in through the window.
