Chapter 481 Unlucky Days
The assassin, wearing a hood and with wrist blades strapped to his arms, jumped off the roof and ran through the deserted streets.
After making sure that there was no one around, the assassin jumped into a dry well and disappeared into the early morning streets.
Below the dry well, a path leads to a nearby building. This seemingly abandoned house is the base of the Assassin's Organization in the Concession.
"Chief Emma, something big has happened!"
Emma, who has become the leader of the assassins, is using her wrist blade to pry open a can. The pull ring on the can has broken off and there are several holes in the lid of the can.
"Big deal? Don't tell me, some idiot fell into the pigsty again? Or did you run into some big shot's affair again?"
"Oh, it's not these gossips, it's the venomous snake you asked us to keep an eye on before, he's gone!"
Emma frowned when she heard the report from her subordinates.
With a swish sound, Emma pried open the iron sheet and grabbed a herring in ketchup with her hands.
"When did the poisonous snake disappear? Didn't the four of you keep an eye on it?"
Tailing the venomous snake was a mission personally assigned by Young Master Li. They had not discovered anything special about the venomous snake, so it was not surprising that they had relaxed mentally.
But Emma had deployed four people near the poisonous snake. Even if they were distracted, they should not lose track of the snake.
"…We made a wrong judgment. That venomous snake possessed some strange magic. When we found out something was wrong with him, we only found the clothes he dropped!"
It’s no wonder the assassins didn’t notice it, it’s because the venomous snake was too cunning.
The poisonous snake had clearly been staying in the house, but it escaped by using the method of escaping from its shell like a cicada.
I can only say that venomous snakes are worthy of being venomous snakes. They are very good at shedding their skin to escape.
"Forget it, this is our joint mistake, report it to the young master..."
Before Emma could finish her words, another of her men ran in.
"Lady Emma! Something big has happened!"
Emma's veins were throbbing. She didn't see any crows today. Why did she have such bad luck?
"Tell me, what happened here?"
"Jacob, the merchant Jacob, has disappeared from the territory, and he can't be found anywhere!"
Jacob was the nominal manager of this concession, but in reality he was working for Li and Beidi.
The assassin organization led by Emma has been secretly helping Jacob, eliminating dangers while also shouldering the responsibility of supervision.
It was definitely not a coincidence that both Viper and Jacob's surveillance missions went awry on the same day.
Emma raised her hand and used the hidden blade on her wrist to smash the can.
"Send everyone to find Jacob!"
The assassins all dispersed and tried their best to investigate Jacob's whereabouts according to his previous activities.
There were no results, no discoveries, and Emma became increasingly agitated.
Just when Emma realized that the problem was not something she could solve on her own, Xiaoli and Lucy found Emma.
The moment she saw Xiaoli, Emma's scalp went numb. Emma knew very well how powerful Xiaoli could be when she was angry. Compared with the kind-hearted Master Li, Xiaoli was Emma's nightmare.
But if you make a mistake you must admit it, and if you are beaten you must stand at attention.
"Sister Xiaoli, we failed to keep an eye on Jacob, and now he has disappeared..."
"I didn't come here to ask you about Jacob!"
Xiaoli doesn't care about Jacob. She has disliked him for a long time. If Jacob leaves the organization, it will be a good thing for Xiaoli.
"Emma, I came to you to ask if you know where the young master is?"
"Master?"
"It's the young master. He said he had something to do and has been gone for two days."
Li acted alone quite often, and it was common for him to be missing for several days.
Emma didn't take Xiaoli's question seriously, but Xiaoli had a bad feeling.
"we do not know…"
"If you don't know, go find it for me! The safety of the young master is more important than anything else!"
Emma didn't expect to face Xiaoli's roar because of this matter.
Emma shrank her neck and retorted subconsciously.
"The task of keeping an eye on Jacob was assigned by the young master. Now everyone is searching for Jacob..."
"Emma! Don't you want to listen to me? I told you to go find the young master, do you understand?"
Only when Xiaoli grabbed her collar did Emma see Xiaoli's red and swollen eyes.
Xiaoli's eyes revealed panic and helplessness, as if she had lost the most important thing.
Emma immediately realized that something might have happened to Li.
"Sister Xiaoli, what happened to the young master?"
Xiaoli couldn't say anything because she just had a bad feeling.
Seeing her like this, Emma immediately looked at Lucy who came with her and asked.
Lucy also shook her head. No one knew what was going on, and this situation made the atmosphere in the room very heavy.
“…Pass the order! Everyone, go search for the young master’s whereabouts. Even if you have to dig deep into the ground, even if it disturbs the young master’s mission, you must find him first!”
Seeing that Emma agreed to send people to search, Xiaoli sat down on the ground.
Ever since she sensed that something was going to happen to Li, Xiaoli has been in a state of panic. Running over to look for Emma has exhausted all of her energy.
Emma held Xiaoli's hand, she restrained the aura of the assassin leader, and returned to the appearance of the little girl saved by Li and Xiaoli.
"Sister Xiaoli, is something really wrong with the young master? The young master is so powerful, you must be worrying too much."
Emma wanted to comfort Xiaoli, but she was also comforting herself at the same time.
However, another man rushed in and broke everyone's hope.
"Oh no, Chief, something terrible has happened!"
Scored three times!
Emma wanted to jump up and kill the man who rushed in, but she could only endure it.
"Tell me, what is it this time!"
"We...when we were investigating Jacob, we found signs of a battle outside the city."
The concession is a neutral zone, and anyone fighting here will definitely be targeted by patrolling soldiers.
The soldiers did not raise any alarm, which showed that those involved in the battle were very strong and they had enough ability to hide the noise of the battle.
"Was it our assassin who did this?"
"No, it's a magician!"
Magicians will not participate in small-scale fights. They prefer to sit on tall magic towers and throw fireballs into the distance.
However, now there are magicians participating in the battle outside the neutral zone. There must be some conspiracy hidden in this!
Before Emma could continue asking questions, the assassin who came in later carried in a big bag.
After the bag was opened, a pungent smell of blood filled the room, and everyone who smelled it showed expressions of physical discomfort.
"what is this?"
"We found traces of fighting at the scene."
Emma wanted to check what was in the bag, but Xiaoli suddenly rushed over and snatched the bag first.
Xiaoli poured out the contents of the bag without caring what anyone else in the room thought.
A pile of sticky flesh and blood mixed with dirty sand was spread on the ground.
Xiaoli just took a look and then covered her mouth, tears rolling down her face like pearls from a broken string.
"Master!"
