School Beauty's Invincible Martial Expert-Chapter 617 - 619: Assassin

Xiao Han chuckled and then said, "You’ll definitely have a bright future, and you’re sure to make a lot of money."

"I hope so!" Zhang Feng nodded.

To be honest, Zhang Feng was quite puzzled about his own future. After all, he was still a university student, and nowadays, there are many graduates who cannot find jobs after graduation. With such immense pressure to get a job, the number of unemployed people keeps growing. Many simply can’t handle it.

Time slowly passed.

The four roommates were all busy with the final sprint. It may have been just one final exam, but what was most important was whether they could get enough credits from it. A student’s credits depend not only on their daily performance but also on their exam results. All these factors must be taken into account in the credit calculation formula.

Many students were fighting for credits, and this was only the first academic year. After the final exams were over and the next semester began, they would be sophomores, transforming from freshmen into upperclassmen.

Most importantly, in the new semester, they would be able to hit on freshman girls. That was what they were looking forward to the most.

And on the evening before the exam...

Xiao Han was on his way back to Shuimu University from Hanmen Restaurant. University Town was only a ten-minute walk from Shuimu University, which he could reach quickly on foot.

It was about just two roads away. From the extension road to Ring City Road, and then from Ring City Road into Campus Road. The whole journey could be completed in ten minutes. Recently, Xiao Han had been traveling between Hanmen Restaurant and Shuimu University almost every day. Hanmen Restaurant was about to enter the summer vacation period. Therefore, this branch in University Town needed to adjust its personnel structure. If adjustments weren’t made quickly, once the school starts summer vacation, Hanmen Restaurant’s business would definitely lose half its customers.

The Hanmen Restaurant in University Town largely depended on the business brought in by the surrounding universities, otherwise, the restaurant’s business wouldn’t be so good. Moreover, this branch had a relatively large number of employees. With a restaurant of over a thousand square meters housing fifty to sixty employees, keeping them there during the two-month vacation would not only be a great waste for Hanmen Company but also bring significant losses.

Now, Hanmen Restaurant had five branches in the provincial city, and the one in University Town was the largest. Although the other branches were smaller, their daily turnover was not small. And since there was a shortage of staff, the employees from the University Town branch could be transferred to other branches. In this way, a large amount of personnel expenses could be saved.

Xiao Han had these matters on his mind all the time, constantly pondering over the personnel adjustments.

As Xiao Han was passing through an alley, suddenly, he felt a chilly breeze sweeping over him from behind.

Xiao Han shivered. He quickly glanced back but discovered there was no one behind him.

"How strange!" Xiao Han muttered to himself.

Just as Xiao Han was about to keep walking, he immediately saw a man in a black short-sleeved shirt standing at the entrance of the alley.

Looking at the man with puzzlement, Xiao Han slowed his stride. He seemed curious and a bit surprised, but he remained very wary of him.

Just as Xiao Han was about to pass by the man, the latter suddenly raised his head and looked at Xiao Han, asking, "You’re Xiao Han, aren’t you?"

"Who are you?" Xiao Han was instantly stunned.

It was baffling and surprising for a stranger to suddenly step forward and call out your name, so Xiao Han looked at him perplexed and wary. Judging by the man’s demeanor, he clearly was not benevolent.

With a chuckle, the man said, "You don’t need to worry about who I am. Just know that you’ve offended someone you shouldn’t have. So today, I’m here to take your life!"

"Take my life?" As soon as Xiao Han heard this, he immediately laughed and said, "If I’m not mistaken, it must be Qin Xiaotian, right?"

Xiao Han knew very well whom he had offended. Only Qin Xiaotian had the means to send someone after him. Therefore, Xiao Han was convinced about the identity of his troublemaker.

With another chuckle, the man smiled slightly, "Now that it’s gotten to this point, who sent me is no longer important."

"Why?" Xiao Han frowned.

"Because after today, you’ll be a dead man," the man said with a cold laugh.

Hearing this, Xiao Han was astounded. This guy had such unwavering confidence in his strength against him. It was quite unbelievable to Xiao Han. Frowning, he said, "You’re that confident you can take me on?"

"Of course!" the man nodded.

"Then Qin Xiaotian must have told you that I defeated a Sanshou champion from the American West, huh?" Xiao Han said with a smile.

The man burst into laughter upon hearing this, "I specifically checked that out. That so-called champion is just a fraud with no real skill. And his ’golden belt’ was nothing more than a friendly match between a few clubs. Most importantly, there were actually two real masters who unfortunately had stomach issues that day and didn’t compete, so he just picked up a cheap title. He’s been using that so-called golden belt to bluff his way through China. So it’s best not to believe in such things."

"Uh..." Xiao Han looked utterly confused and said, "Really?"

"Kid, I won’t lie to you!" the man said, looking down as he bit his nails carelessly. "Any last words? Spit them out fast, so I can finish up early and get out of this godforsaken place!"

"Do you really have to kill me?" Xiao Han asked, puzzled.

"Yes!" the man suddenly looked up, his eyes sharply fixed on Xiao Han.

Those eyes gave Xiao Han a tremendous shock, indeed, they were sharp and incredibly startling. Just one glance at those eyes and you could tell they were much stronger than those of the drunks and swindlers. At the very least, those eyes clearly belonged to someone who had truly taken lives. Moreover, they were frighteningly cautious.

Xiao Han stared seriously back at him, his gaze firmly on the man. From the man’s stance and the look in his eyes, Xiao Han could tell that he was no slouch. His build might not be burly, his physique might not be robust, but that did not prevent Xiao Han from making an assessment of a person.

Xiao Han could judge that this man was definitely strong. Furthermore, from the man’s overall shape, it could broadly be inferred that he was likely a former special forces operative or something similar.

Xiao Han had met a few ex-special forces men at Hanmen Restaurant, several of them, but their gazes were nowhere near as intense as this man’s. Xiao Han could conclude that this man must have been battle-tested, a killer of enemies.

A cold smile played at the corners of Xiao Han’s mouth. Hooking up a smile, he said, "Alright, I really want to see how you’re going to kill me."

"Heh, it looks like you still have the courage to face me?" the man dropped his cynical demeanor, stepping forward slowly toward Xiao Han. Xiao Han frowned, a cold smile lifting his lips as he said, "It looks like I have even more reason not to let you go today."

With that, the man’s body suddenly burst with a powerful aura.

The aura exploded on the spot.

Xiao Han could feel that overwhelming force head-on, so imposing, so suffocating. He could clearly sense the man’s intense murderous aura. Facing such a ruthless character, Xiao Han suddenly lost confidence.

"Come on, then." Xiao Han adopted a fighting stance.

Maybe his strength wasn’t a match for the man’s, but he definitely couldn’t afford to lose in terms of momentum.

The man snorted coldly, lunged forward in an arrow-like dash.

Fast!

Very fast!

Extremely fast!

The only thought in Xiao Han’s mind: ’He’s really fast!’

Indeed, the man’s speed was incredibly swift; he approached with the speed of lightning, born of battlefield experience. Only through real fire and iron could such powerful strength be forged.

Xiao Han decisively dodged.

Thump...

Xiao Han’s body slammed against a wall. In that moment, he felt an excruciating pain.

"Ouch…" Xiao Han cried out in pain.

The man didn’t pause for a second, quickly adjusting his direction and pouncing again.

Xiao Han had no time for pain, no time to adjust; as the man was about to leap at him once more, he barely managed to dodge quickly. Although his dodging looked awkward and clumsy, at the very least he had escaped from being hit by the man’s fists and feet.

After several rolls, Xiao Han barely managed to escape another of the man’s attacks.

"Heh heh…" The man chuckled, looking at Xiao Han with pitying eyes and said, "I really don’t understand, how could someone like you ever beat Smith? Although Smith was all show, at least he had some strength. But you, in front of me, are like trash, killing you would be as simple as slaughtering a chicken!"

Xiao Han’s brow furrowed, his eyes narrowed as he said, "Really?"

"Absolutely!" the man nodded, saying, "Just wait."

Without another word, the man charged rapidly once again.

This time, Xiao Han didn’t intend to dodge. A man, a true man standing tall under heaven, should not be belittled so easily. His previous dodges were due to the man’s truly fast speed and his own lack of preparedness, which had caught him off guard. He took a deep breath, then said, "Son of a bitch, I’ll see to it that you don’t leave here alive today."
