The Return of the God Level Assassin

He couldn’t stop his cousin and the girl. And he definitely couldn’t boss around Su Yuqi. That’s why he ended up on his own. He only had 30 minutes to search the whole ship. And now, that 30 minutes was almost over. But he still couldn’t find a trace of his brother and that guy.

There’s only so much he could do in 30 minutes. But he made sure that he made sure that he searched all the important spots on the ship. Surely, the two wouldn’t be hiding in some dark and small area that’s why he couldn’t find them, right?

So, it could only mean that the two were not here to begin with. But wouldn’t that also mean that also mean that the information that Su Yuqi gave was wrong in the first place? Did she lie?

No. He shook his head and rejected that assumption. Why would she lie? It’s not like her at all. Unless, there was something in it for her. Did that guy, Shen Ji Yun, bribe her?

He scratched the back of his head in annoyance. In any case, he had to ask her about that. So, she could make it clear whether she was bribed or not.

He just looked at the direction where he left Su Yuqi and was a bit surprised to see that she was still there. She was sitting on one of the tables on the deck. Her little chin was on top of her hand while looking at the surrounding jungle. She had this expression on her face that was screaming – ’I’m super bored and uninterested’.

Luo Jin chuckled seeing her like that. He was about to walk towards when he saw two male players suddenly surrounding the table she was in. Because he was not far from them, he could hear what they were saying.

"Isn’t this Morganite? What are you doing here all alone?" one said.

"Wanna hang out with us?"

Su Yuqi ignored both, as if she didn’t hear them at all.

"Hey, don’t give us the cold shoulders. That cold look could ruin that pretty face."

"That’s fine. I think that makes her even cuter."

The two players looked at each other and snickered. Luo Jin absolutely didn’t like that look. It’s as if they were thinking about something that they shouldn’t. The next action of one of the two made him even angrier.

The male player leaned on the seat Su Yuqi was sitting and tried to touch her!

But what happened next made Luo Jin stopped in his track.

Su Yuqi gave that player the look – the one she often used when she was looking down on someone. But this time, it was not like she was looking at an ant but a disgusting trash instead.

"Touch me and I’ll throw you out of this ship."

The player was startled by the coldness and indifference in those pink eyes. He even felt a bit of chill behind his back. But he quickly got over it. Although Morganite was a strong player, she’s just a support player who didn’t really fight. Besides, fighting amongst players was not allowed in public places like this. So, he knew that the other couldn’t beat him up even if she wanted to. Not that she could anyway.

So, he gained his confidence and still stretched out his hand. "Really? I’d like to see you tr—"

He hadn’t finished what he’s saying yet, he hadn’t even touched the other, when he felt his whole body floating. Before he realized what was happening, his body was already submerged on the cold river.

The remaining player was completely shocked by what just happened. He looked at Morganite and flinched when she saw the other giving him the same look that she gave her friend before throwing him out of the boat.

"Y-you--!"

"What? You want to swim on the river too?"

The player couldn’t say any comeback because some of the players on the deck who had seen the whole thing started laughing at him.

"That was so lame!"

"Right? Do they really think that Morganite would just nod her head when they asked her to hang out with them?"

"That’s so delusional."

"Sometimes, people really need to have some reality check."

Hearing all those things made the male player flustered in shame. So, he ended up just running away from the deck. He happened to pass by a black-haired gnome. Because he just wanted to get out of there, he didn’t notice the gnome extending his short legs. That’s why he ended up tripping. Which generated another round of laughing.

Because of that, the player had no time to get annoyed at the gnome who obviously tripped him. And he just continued running out of there.

Luo Jin scoffed seeing that reaction. Really lame. If Su Yuqi didn’t throw that guy out of the ship, he almost blasted him off with his gun.

He continued walking towards Su Yuqi.

"You okay?" he asked.

Su Yuqi turned to him. "You saw that?"

Luo Jin nodded. [Yeah. And you were really cool as usual.] – But he didn’t say that and just said, "I was actually planning to come to your rescue. But it seemed that you didn’t need it."

Su Yuqi chuckled. The indifference in her pink eyes melted and amusement filled it. She stretched her hand and gently flicked the other’s forehead. "What ’rescue’? I could easily handle something like that."

Luo Jin touched his forehead. He didn’t feel annoyed by Su Yuqi’s action. He even felt a tinge of happiness because of that simple action. Because it meant that she was comfortable enough to be around him that she could flick his forehead playfully.

"I know. Because you’re always so cool."

He suddenly stopped when he realized that he actually said that out loud. He quickly raised his head when he heard Su Yuqi laughing.

"Yes, I am indeed always cool."

Seeing her smile so happily, Luo Jin had already completely forgotten the thing that he had to ask her. He just simply stood there and stared, his heart beating wildly.
