350 Woman in Black (1/2)

Xiao Luo's tremendous kick had sent Ren Maohua's body soaring toward them like a speeding car. Caught unawares and rooted where they stood, several NSA members braced themselves, keeping their hands ready to cushion the impact. But when Ren Maohua's body smashed into the NSA soldiers, they were thrown off in several directions like a bowling ball crashing into tenpins.

After plowing through like a cannonball, Ren Maohua hit the ground and continued to tumble out of control for another three to four meters before coming to a halt. The hard, bare surface of the field was unforgiving, and Ren Maohua's clothes were tattered, suffering lacerations all over his body. He looked a sorry sight as he lay slumped on the ground and panting hard.

Ren Maohua was a highly trained Grade-A agent, and he was tough and hardy. Had it been any other average fighter, Xiao Luo's blow would have sent them to kingdom come.

The onlookers, all trained NSA fighters themselves, could not believe what they had just seen and were stupefied. Only moments ago, Ren Maohua clearly had the upper hand and had Xiao Luo on the defensive. Ren Maohua was about to deliver the coup de grace with a powerful strike to Xiao Luo's chest when suddenly, a single kick to Ren Maohua's neck threw him more than ten meters away.

How did the tide turn so abruptly? Who was this guy? Was he also a Grade-S Soldier?

All eyes were on the motionless figure standing alone in the ground. Everyone was still in a state of shock for Ren Maohua was a notable Grade-A Soldier, and fighters like him did not get beaten easily. Doubtlessly, this man was a Grade-A Soldier, what else could he be?

Watching intently from the fourth floor of the office building, Gu Zhanguo and Dongfang Shuoyu were staggered.

Behind them, another man, well-built and rippling with muscles, stood watching the fight silently. He had short hair, eyes that brimmed with self-confidence, and a healthy glow to his skin, which had the color of yellow jade. His physique was intimidating, and he emanated the unmistakable aura of a man who feared nothing.

”Mr. Gu, Mr. Dongfang, where did this man come from? He's quite impressive—being able to send that fool, Ren Maohua, flying through the air in that way is no mean feat. Although Ren Maohua isn't really a full-fledged Grade-A Soldier, he has already been fully trained as one. So, for this man to deal with Ren Maohua in such a way means he's no common person.”

The well-built man spoke unhurriedly in a deep, hoarse voice. There was innate confidence in the way he spoke—a slurred, monotonous speech that made it seem like he wasn't trying to be heard—but expected to be listened to.

”He is Mie!”

”What… he is 'Mie?'”

The well-built man had a look of surprise in his eyes as he nodded appreciatively. Being one of the NSA's top agents, he was, naturally, privy to highly sensitive information that was not disseminated to the other ranks. In fact, ”Mie” was known only to a select few, and Gu Zhanguo had only mentioned this name to him on his return to headquarters last year. He was briefed on Mie's impressive combat capabilities in dispatching Long Sankui, of Jiangcheng City. Mie had single-handedly slaughtered the notorious crime boss and an army of his bodyguards in a horrific massacre.

A smile broke on the well-built man's face, and he said, ”How interesting... I've been looking forward to meeting him for some time. Now, I finally get to see his true form.”

”King Kong, get down there and do not let the situation spiral out of control,” Dongfang Shuoyu said to the well-built man.

”Got it!”

King Kong acknowledged Dongfang Shuoyu and turned to leave immediately, giving Gu Zhanguo a nod as he did so.

After King Kong stepped out, Gu Zhanguo smiled wryly and said, ”Dongfang, can I assume that we don't need to evaluate Mie anymore?”

”Yes, it isn't necessary anymore… Mie will be rated a Grade-S soldier!”

Dongfang Shuoyi was already convinced, and there was simply no need to knock on an open door. He motioned to his assistant and said, ”Pull out Mie's file and update his profile as Grade-S.”

His assistant saluted him, then about-turned smartly, and left to execute his orders.

Gu Zhanguo sniggered and quipped, ”There you go, Dongfang… I've already told you that is wasn't necessary, and now you finally know that I'm right now, hahaha.”
