Chapter 6 (2/2)
Yun Jian and Yun Ji came to a small shop. The shopkeeper was a middle-aged man who was in his forties. He held a fan, fanning himself seated on a chair, as he watched the siblings enter his shop.
“What can I help you with?” The shopkeeper asked casually.
“Mister, we would like to make a phone call,” Yun Yi replied.
The shopkeeper adjusted the timer on the telephone and passed the receiver to Yun Yi. The latter passed it to Yun Jian, allowing her to dial.
Yun Jian pressed a few digits on the receiver and waited for the call to connect.
Yun Yi watched his baby sister all this while, wondering who she was calling.
Tut, tut, tut…
Three rings later, the call connected.
A smooth male voice came from the other end of the call speaking fluent English, “Hello?”
This person was Yun Jian’s underling with the moniker: Tiger.Leopard. He was one of Gu Sha Mercenaries’ commanders, ranked eighth on the chart of international assassins. He was like his moniker suggests, having the savagery of a tiger and the speed of a leopard.
Yun Jian stole a peek at Yun Yi before she spoke to Tiger.Leopard in eloquent English without hesitation, “I’m Slaying. I won’t be going back for the meantime. The organization matters will be handed over to you.”
Slaying, known short for the Slaying God.
Yun Jian did not even wait for a reply when she hung up.
She had never waited for replies in her phone calls – because the other party would show absolute obedience to her of orders.
When Yun Yi heard Yun Jian’s articulate English, his eyes went wide staring at her.
His English scored well alongside his excellent results, earning him a place in the best high school of the city, but his baby sister’s result had always been lacking, especially in English.
Yet Yun Jian’s coherent English just now could probably triumph their English teacher who was a university graduate!
Since when did his baby sister become so outstanding?
Who was the person on the line, by the way? Why did Xiao Jian hang up after she spoke? It looked as if she was talking to a subordinate.
The shopkeeper was still fanning himself paused when he saw what Yun Jian did.
To be honest, he had been a shopkeeper for years but this was his first time seeing a crisp and young girl speaking a foreign language effortlessly in a phone call and hanging up directly without a reply.
What sort of a phone call was this?
Thus, the shopkeeper was dumbstruck as well.
