Chapter 473: Chapter 294: The Game Between Top Assassins

Winter night, Linjiang Mansion.

This is an upscale residential area.

In the garden, moonlight gently sprinkled, and the artificial hill and flowing water were also draped in a layer of soft silver gauze.

Not far in front of the entrance, there was also a waterside pavilion, with clear water slightly rippling under the bright moonlight, reflecting the grass, buildings, and occasionally a few fish would pop up to the surface, releasing a bubble.

If one were to walk along the main avenue of the neighborhood garden, it would require a significant detour.

Lin Chuan habitually took a shortcut.

He walked on a path paved with delicate cobblestones, flanked by tall trees and randomly planted with unknown small flowers.

The Little Landlady and he usually took this path home.

“The lights are a bit dim tonight.”

As Lin Chuan walked, he looked up to see, at a familiar spot, a street lamp above a tall tree dimly on, emitting a faint light as if it could go out at any time.

It must have broken today; the property management hadn’t repaired it yet.

Lin Chuan stopped walking, and to the left ahead, there was another lamp, also dim.

Thus, under the moonlight, Lin Chuan’s visibility to the left was far less bright than to the right.

Lin Chuan frowned.

Being inherently cautious, his caution had only increased after learning about the multi-million bounty the Baisheng Group had placed on him.

Any small disturbance caught his attention, and he would consider whether someone might be lurking.

Similarly, Lin Chuan’s alertness immediately heightened at this moment.

Bright to the right, dark to the left.

As an agent and assassin, Lin Chuan was very aware that this kind of situation was perfect for a stealth attack.

And this location, with the cobblestone path and tall trees providing cover, was relatively concealed; if an assassin could manage a quick strike, it would likely not cause much commotion.

As for the property management’s security patrols, Lin Chuan couldn’t count on them.

At the “multi-million bounty” level, even the arrival of the police might not be effective.

Lin Chuan knew that in the world of assassins, skills like weaponry and fighting were everyone’s forte, with amazing proficiency.

At this moment,

Lin Chuan narrowed his eyes, surreptitiously scanning his surroundings, his walking pace unchanged, his mind fully prepared.

If someone made a move, he would respond with the quickest and strongest counterattack.

He was cautious, yet he also felt anticipation.

It was a contradictory mindset.

He had wanted to lead a normal life, but upon learning about Baisheng Group’s ‘multi-million bounty,’ a sense of anticipation had ignited within him.

He not only wanted to obliterate Baisheng Group but also looked forward to clashing with some of the world’s top assassins.

One could say he was itching for a challenge.

Until now, he had only been the King of Killers in the Virtual World.

In the real world, he hadn’t racked up true combat achievements.

This time, perhaps, he could test his genuine level.

However,

he ended up disappointed and slightly relieved.
