Chapter 777: Blind Man
Translator: Nyoi-Bo StudioEditor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Brother Blind's namesake was not derived from any blight of blindness. In fact, his vision far exceeded the capabilities of most.
He was called Brother Blind, however, because of how much he sought money. As long as there was money on offer, he'd take whatever job or task he could. He would commit any sordid deed, even murder, due to his blindness in the presence of money.
But Brother Blind was powerful, make no mistake. And he could easily kill sacred-blood creatures. Even in the royal shelter, no one would dare offend him.
Liu Kuang wouldn't underestimate someone who could present a sacred-blood beast soul, so he extended an invitation for Brother Blind to come here.
As this was occurring, Liu Kuang went to observe Han Sen and Lin Beifeng. He couldn't discern much about Han Sen and hadn't the clue what his reputation was. If Han Sen did hail from a big family, he figured he'd have been able to easily recognize the man. Lacking smarts and cultural attention, he did not even realize that he was looking at the son-in-law of the president.
Han Sen's appearance was just as Liu Jie described. He looked to be twenty years old at the most, and could best be described as another typical ”pretty boy.” It didn't look as if he'd endured a single hardship. Seeing the kid now, he thought Liu Jie had indeed made a fair and correct judgement of him.
Liu Kuang was a patient person, however. He was in no rush to strike, and he was happy to wait for Brother Blind's arrival.
”Brother Kuang, they have now left the shelter. When is our time to strike?” After keeping tabs on them for half a day, Liu Jie hastened to report their exit from the shelter to Liu Kuang.
”Patience. There is no need to rush. Brother Blind is en route. They must be heading to a royal shelter, so we'll take a detour, meet up with Brother Blind, and set a roadblock for them.” After saying this, Liu Kuang assembled a group and left the shelter to enact their plan.
They walked through a woodland for ten whole miles, before meeting up with Brother Blind. They hid along the veiling thickets that skirted the sides of the road that led to the royal shelter.
Not long after, two people came into sight. They rode on two beasts, and just as expected, they were indeed Han Sen and Lin Beifeng.
”Brother Blind, that's them!” Liu Jie put away his binoculars and spoke, while pointing towards their sought-after prey.
Brother Blind did not need to use binoculars, and as he watched the two people from afar, a queer look came upon him.
”These are the people you have tasked me to deal with?” Brother Blind asked Brother Kuang and Liu Jie, to confirm.
”Yes, that is them,” Liu Jie said.
Slash!
A soft sword, very much like a ribbon, was drawn by Brother Blind's hands. Blood coated the sword as Liu Jie's head was suddenly flung from his shoulders and into the sky. The eyes of the severed head were open wide, in a sudden fright and confusion.
”Brother Blind, what was that for?” Liu Kuang and the rest were all aghast at the sudden turn of events. In response, they all drew their weapons and faced Brother Blind warily.
Brother Blind coldly laughed and said, ”I may pursue coin blindly, but even I won't throw my life away for it. If you have sought to task me with a suicide run, then I have no choice but to kill you.”
Liu Kuang's face changed. With shock, he asked, ”Are you saying that guy is quite something?”
Han Sen's presence had unknowingly unblinded Brother Blind. For this to suddenly happen, a bad feeling crept over Liu Kuang's mind.
”He is not just 'something.' That guy is everything! Even your boss could end up working as a grunt below him. And you want to finger him for assassination? I admire your boldness and courage.” Brother Blind cackled creepily.
