Genshin Impact: A Red Teyvat Life Starting from Zero

The other party then single-handedly charged through the enemy lines with a dagger and a crossbow.

"This is outrageous. I bet this person has divine eyes."

"It's hard to say, there are no traces of elemental attack at the scene. Let's go in and take a look." The squad leader was also shocked at this moment.

When they reached the main tent, they discovered that some of the people there had been shot dead.

"It's a 9mm pistol bullet. It's possible... that the same person we saw on the road earlier who killed the messenger was the same one?"

"And look, the people here were probably shot and killed while trying to escape."

Filled with questions, I opened the tent flap, and a strong smell of blood wafted out.

Without exception, all the high-ranking officers of the rebel army were shot in the head and fell to their positions.

In addition, the debt collectors of the Fools were lying on the ground.

The team members looked around but couldn't find their target, Ito, but they did see an elderly man with white hair.

A samurai sword pierced through his abdomen and pinned him to the cabinet behind him.

"He's still breathing! He's alive!" The squad leader stepped forward to check, his face lighting up with delight. "Medic!"

Soon, with emergency medical assistance, the elderly man's condition stabilized and he gradually regained consciousness.

"Old man, what happened here? Where have all the people gone?"

The squad leader now felt that, most likely, it was this old man who had killed the messenger and then fought his way through the camp.

Although the other party was most likely one of their own, he dared not let his guard down for a moment because his identity had not been confirmed. Although he went up to talk to the old man, his teammates were all pointing guns at him from behind.

However, the squad leader noticed that the old man visibly relaxed his guard the moment he saw them.

“My name is Kentkey, and I’m the so-called defector from Coral Palace…”

The story begins with Kentie's self-introduction, and a series of events that unfold within the camp gradually reveal themselves to the team members...

"Leave? I don't think any of you are leaving today."

The discordant sounds outside the tent caused Nikolai and Itō, who had just lifted their feet to leave, to stop abruptly.

[This voice... why does it sound so familiar?] Nikolai was quite puzzled.

I feel like I've heard that name somewhere before, but I can't remember who it is.

Just as he was pondering this, a smoking object flew into the tent.

"Danger!"

Without a second thought, the debt collector next to Nikolai leaped forward and knocked him out of the tent.

The hand grenade, a weapon of immense destructive power, was already included in the encyclopedia of the Fools after the first battle, and all the Fools in Inazuma were forced to learn about it and how to deal with it.

I've learned my lesson the hard way before, but I won't let myself suffer like that now.

"boom--"

The grenade exploded in mid-air, and the shockwave made those inside the tent feel unsteady on their feet.

"Bang bang bang..."

Before they could react, a barrage of gunfire erupted.

The senior officers in the tent were all hit, without exception, all of them shot between the eyebrows.

"who is it?!"

Nikolai shouted angrily towards the outside of the tent.

Those guns weren't just aimed at the high-ranking rebel officers; he was also among their targets.

Although he also possesses the power of the Evil Eye, ordinary 9mm pistol bullets cannot cause him any harm, but the pain is real.

Moreover, that old guy Ito almost got shot too. If he hadn't pushed Ito, Ito would probably be like those officers now, shot in the middle of his eyebrow and out. That really scared him.

This is crucial to Lord Sanbing's next move; if something happens to him again, he'll truly be doomed.

Nikolai was furious at this act of sending him to his death, and waved for his debt collectors to go and deal with it.

However, not long after the debt collectors went up, a corpse was thrown back.

Inside the tent at this moment, only Nikolai and Ito were present. Nikolai had already activated the power of the Evil Eye to protect himself, while Ito stood guard to the side, holding a samurai sword.

The other side didn't fire again, perhaps because they were out of bullets? Or perhaps they realized it wasn't effective against them?

Damn it, where are the soldiers in the camp? Are they all dead? Why hasn't anyone come to help?

Heavy footsteps echoed outside the camp, one after another.

"Don't you remember me, Nikolai?"

"It's you! Kentucky!"

Nikolai stared wide-eyed at the figure that appeared at the tent entrance.

"I could smell your stench right outside the tent. What a coincidence, as Liyue would say, we're like enemies on a narrow road."

"What, are you surprised?"

"Unexpected, of course it's unexpected. I really didn't expect you to be so persistent. Isn't it better to be alive?"

Nikolai's tone at this moment could be described as clenching his teeth.

This Shadow Hunter had been relentlessly pursuing him since Fontaine Island, and it was still him on Sea Island. He had tried to kill him twice but failed, and now he was standing in front of him again.

"It's good to be alive, of course, but the feeling of bearing a bad reputation is terrible. Nikolai, you used the same trick in Fontaine once, and now you're doing it again on Haiqi Island. No wonder it seems so familiar. Do you really think I'm easy to bully?"

“Bullying? We’re just each serving our own masters. Who told you to keep pestering me?” Nikola stared intently at Kent’s movements, subtly manipulating the elemental energy around him.

"So, everyone serves their own master. Are you ready to be loyal to your master?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Kentigieg took a step forward and rushed forward with a dagger in hand.

Nikolai, equally unwilling to back down, drew his Inspector General's Sacrifice to meet the challenge.

The two were fighting, and neither of them paid any attention to Sato, who was standing guard with a knife.

During the struggle, Kentie was caught off guard by Sato.

"Let me try out the knife!"

Chapter 90 Giving and Taking Charge

"So, you were ambushed and seriously injured, that's why you're like this?"

The squad leader's face showed great admiration.

This is a real boss!

The guns they carried were for self-defense and killing, but in the hands of the big boss, guns became for protecting the enemy.

Not only did one person silently carve through the camp with a cold weapon, but he also fought to a standstill with a dagger against a veteran debt collector who possessed the Evil Eye.

Although Ito is no match for his two older brothers, he is still from a samurai family and his strength is not too bad.

If Ito hadn't resorted to a sneak attack at the last minute, the outcome of this battle would have been very different.

"That's right, yes."

Kentucky nodded.

He glanced at the squad's fully armed state and then asked, "Are you here to see Ito?"

"Yes, that's right. We came here to carry out the decapitation operation against Itō on the joint orders of Lord Xin Hai, Lord Jiang Ming, and Lord Goro. But it seems we're too late now."

"Yes, you're late."

Kentucky took a deep breath and exhaled, letting out a sigh.

"At the last moment, they left directly through the Fatui's teleportation, and you probably won't be able to catch up even if you want to."

"Teleportation again!" The squad leader frowned deeply.

The Fools used this thing to send a large number of troops to Coral Palace in a short period of time before, and now they are using the portal to take their target away.

“I think their original plan was to travel by boat. The Fatui’s teleportation technology is not very advanced, and it consumes a lot of resources each time it is used. Even with the Fatui’s wealth, they cannot use it frequently. Perhaps if they choose to travel by boat, you can still catch up.”

Kentucky sounded a little embarrassed.

“Mr. Kentkey, you don’t need to blame yourself. This has nothing to do with you. After all, even if you hadn’t taken any action, Ito would have evacuated anyway. After being attacked by us, Nikolai could still have used teleportation technology to escape.”

"From the results, there is no difference. In fact, since we do not have the same level of professional expertise as you, we might not have done as well as you."

Kentucky nodded slightly, without saying anything more.

Perhaps in his heart, he still believes that he himself caused the impact.

However, they ultimately chose to leave hastily via teleportation... Was it because the team's whereabouts had been exposed, or... was Nikolai afraid?

If it's the latter, then what is he afraid of?

Was someone coming to kill him? Or was someone coming to kill Ito? Or something else entirely?

Or perhaps he received some orders?

Nikolai already held a high position within the Fools, wielding considerable power. To command someone of Nikolai's caliber, he must be at the level of an executive officer of the Fools.

I've heard that those executives are all very powerful, and the chief ones even have authority bestowed upon them by the Winter Queen, possessing power comparable to that of a demon god.

If the Fatui's executors have their eyes on them... that would be a real problem.

This needs to be taken seriously.

Kentie shared his conjecture with the squad leader.

"Hmm... We will report your ideas to our superiors as soon as we return to Coral Palace."

Kent's idea is not without merit, but it is not something they can figure out with the limited information they have now.

Since their mission has already failed, let the higher-ups deal with these issues.
