Chapter 735 (1/2)
Xia Lei looked over as soon as he heard the sound His left eye twitched and everything that was blocking his line of sight disappeared soundlessly
The sound was co from the stairway The stairas empty, devoid of people
Suddenly, a black cat came out froreen plant next to the flower vase
False alarm
The black cat quickly disappeared from view but Xia Lei’s nerves were still tense, and he could not relax
There were also broken twigs and dropped flowers on the floor next to the flower vase
That sound earlier was of the black cat breaking things, and had not been made by a person
But no matter what the cause was, he was all tensed up and unable to relax He looked at his watch The woman who had called him had told him to leave in 60 seconds Another ten seconds had passed
Who was that woer that she spoke of? And what level of danger?
How did she know that he was here?
How did she know that sort of danger he would be in?
Should he leave, or follow his original plan and stay here to kill Gu Kewen?
This questions in his head bothered hiht decision
He wasn’t very willing to just give up like this He had planned everything, and this was a rare chance too It would be difficult to find another opportunity to kill Gu Keithout drawing any trouble to himself if he er really caret it?
Xia Lei’s gaze went to the gun in Hattori Masao’s hand
At that uished It wasn’t just the lights in the study, but all of the lights in the villa
Rustle…
A soft sound came to Xia Lei’s ear
Xia Lei looked over at the doorway of the study
Rustle
The sound was getting closer It was faint but clear in this very quiet setting
And, as most odd was that Xia Lei had obviously heard a voice, and that darkness did not affect his X-ray vision, but he could not see as in the corridor outside the door!
The strange sound stopped at the study door
Xia Lei burst into action a second later, heading for theas quick as he could
Bang! The study door behind him was knocked open
Crash!+ Xia Lei sround in a shower of broken wood and glass
The instant his feet touched the ground, he bent his legs, and shi+fted the centre of gravity of his body forward to go into a roll, lessening the force of the fall He rolled close to the ground, and he looked up at the second-flooras he rolled
A thin figure suddenly appeared in the
He could not see his face — an inky blackness, a robe, shrouded his body The robe was very similar to a priest’s robe, with a hood That hood covered the person’s head, and his face What was even stranger was that the robe he wore seeht, and Xia Lei could not see his face, even with his abnorure stood in the , looking like a spirit from a dark world He could be seen, but he was not real
Xia Lei stopped rolling
The person in the black robe swayed for a bit, then disappeared
Xia Lei’s left eye looked through the wall but he’d lost sight of him
Who was he?
A shi+ver went down Xia Lei’s spine and cold sweat popped out on his forehead He had quite a feounds frolass but he did not feel much pain He did not want to admit it, but terror had very definitely had a hold on his body
“Boss! What happened?” Amanda’s voice came over the receiver, full of anxiousness
Xia Lei moved quickly as he said, “Did you see the person in a black robe? If you do, shoot hiuy in a black robe?” Amanda’s voice was full of surprise and nervousness
Xia Lei’s heart sank He was sure that that black-robed man had appeared in theA to kill Gu Kewen, so she should be watching his area all this while How could she not have seen that black-robed man?
He abruptly remembered what he had seen outside the door with his X-ray vision when he was in the study That black-robed man had obviously been behind the door but he had not seen anything, had he?
So did that black-robed man really not exist? It was just a hallucination? Hoas this possible?
Xia Lei couldn’t help looking back as he moved quickly At that moment, the black-robedroom on the first floor
He still couldn’t see his face The hood see not a face, but a part of darkness
“Do you see him now?” Xia Lei shouted, “Shoot him!”
