Under One Person: I, Jiaqian Jushi, work from nine to five.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Zhou Fengliu, escorted by three Nasen guards, left the venue with Zhao Fangxu and headed to the hotel suite arranged by Nadutong...

Chapter 357 Assassination? I can 100% dodge a sneak attack, how will you deal with it? (Second Update)

Since it was a room arranged for VIPs, the facilities in the room arranged by Na Du Tong were quite luxurious, basically comparable to the house that Yanzi rented to Zhou Fengliu in South China.

"Alright, that's enough for now."

Zhou Fengliu swiped his room card to open the door, then glanced at the trio behind him and began to speak:

"You guys go get some rest."

Hearing Zhou Fengliu's words, the three shook their heads.

"?"

"Don't tell me you're going to come in?" Zhou Fengliu raised an eyebrow, then said that would be too presumptuous.

“We will stand guard at the gate…” Elijah said.

"Standing the whole time?"

"Ah."

After receiving confirmation from Elijah, Zhou Fengliu immediately felt Nathan Wei's dedication.

Look at their employees...

Even though it's time to rest, they're still working so diligently.

Let's take a look at those employees in South China.

Zhou Fengliu briefly recalled the generals under his command.

Tao Tao slacks off at work and even more so after get off work.

Fu Rong, she dozes off at work but is wide awake after get off work... She's paid so much, and she still asks him for money to cook for her...

As for Chen Duo... needless to say, she's the top disciple of Layman Jiaqian, stealing jobs, secretly playing games, and not cultivating properly...

It's true that you get the kind of employees you expect from your leaders...

Thinking about it, Zhou Fengliu realized that the only person around him who could be described as a dedicated worker was Master Ayu.

In contrast, Zhang Lingyu exudes the aura of a pillar of stability in South China.

...

"Alright, I'll go in and rest then."

After regaining his senses, Zhou Fengliu could only sigh a little.

He said something to Elijah and the others, then turned and closed the door.

Time goes by little by little...

Nathan, standing at the door, vigilantly surveyed his surroundings.

Seeing his companion's reaction, Elijah spoke up to comfort him:

"Relax... that king inside is no ordinary person..."

Elijah said that even if someone really wanted to make a move tonight, given the strength Zhou Fengliu displayed in the Twenty-Four Solar Terms Valley, no one could possibly hurt him.

"Whether we're ordinary people or not, as Nathan Guards... we have to give it our all."

One of the Nathan guards answered.

“It’s still a long way off… This is a protracted war. If we exhaust all our strength too quickly, it will give the enemy hiding in the shadows an even greater opportunity to strike…” Elijah said meaningfully.

at the same time.

Inside the monitoring room, Zhao Fangxu sat with Zhang Chulan, Xu Si, and others, staring at the large screen.

The image on the screen showed the corridor on the floor where Zhou Fengliu and Nasenwei were located.

“The entire floor has been cleared out, except for Xiao Zhou and Nathan Wei... From now on, anyone appearing on this floor’s surveillance cameras can be considered a suspicious person.”

Zhao Fangxu began to speak in a very serious manner.

"Hmm." Xu Si nodded, then said, "Boss, why don't you go and rest first? Chu Lan and I can keep an eye on things here..."

Hearing Xu Si's words, Zhao Fangxu shook his head:

“I’m personally overseeing this... There can’t be the slightest mistake.”

Faced with Zhao Fangxu's firm stance, Xu Si also adopted a sincere tone:

"As expected of a leader, you always lead by example. No wonder you're a leader..."

Watching Xu Si showering Zhao Fangxu with compliments, Zhang Chulan secretly thought to himself:

"No wonder Fourth Brother is a leader; he can just shower you with compliments like that..."

...

As night deepened, NaDuTong deployed a vast network of personnel throughout the hotel.

Anyone who dares to approach King Nathan is sure to be in for a world of hurt.

Even with such a tight defense, there's always a loophole.

Who says an assassin has to openly barge into King Nathan's room?

At this moment.

In a room at the hotel where the meeting was being held, Larry, the assistant to the president of the Children of the Earth, was nervously preparing for the assassination that was about to take place.

Perhaps sensing that the time was right, Larry performed some kind of witchcraft.

Moonlight streamed through the window and fell onto the floor. Larry, who was sitting cross-legged on the bed, convulsed.

Under the moonlight, his shadow seemed to have a mind of its own, and began to wander on the ground.

The shadow, like a two-dimensional creature, ignored the constraints of the terrain and penetrated directly into the room where Zhou Fengliu was.

goo—

The shadow lurked behind the mirror, secretly spying. In the darkness, it spotted Zhou Fengliu lying on the bed.

King Nathan... Don't blame me, I had no other choice but to do this.

Larry pulled out a piece of paper, and with his skillful hands, a paper knife appeared in his hand.

The instant the paper knife appeared in his hand, the shadow of a paper knife also appeared out of thin air in the hand of the other shadow.

With weapons, there would be an opportunity to assassinate King Nathan without anyone noticing.

Speaking of this method of manipulating shadows, it is a forbidden technique of the Larry family, which allows the user to attach a part of their soul to the shadow for manipulation.

They will not make any sound, smell, or even show any emotion during their actions, leaving no trace whatsoever.

Achieving a perfect assassination is a piece of cake.

Seeing that Zhou Fengliu was sleeping soundly on the big bed, Larry knew that the time had truly come.

I'm sorry, King Nathan, I had no choice... I had to kill you.

Larry hardened his heart and manipulated his shadow to come to Zhou Fengliu's bed.

Bathed in the soft moonlight, the shadow raised its knife and plunged it fiercely into Zhou Fengliu's head.

However...

At that critical moment, Zhou Fengliu, who was fast asleep, seemed to have foreseen something, turned over and turned his head to avoid the attack.

"?"

Has it been discovered?

Larry was startled when he saw this, but quickly dismissed the idea.

It was probably just a coincidence... a coincidence that things turned around.

Again...

Larry continued to manipulate the shadow, adjusting its position to stab at Zhou Fengliu's neck, but this time... he still missed. Zhou Fengliu dodged just before the stab hit.

"?"

Larry was even more confused when he saw this.

This was something he had never seen before... He even wondered if King Nathan had actually fallen asleep...

Even a sane person who doesn't understand the principles of his shadow technique would probably not be able to dodge his shadow attacks again and again.

Larry's shadow magic might indeed be very powerful, and he certainly has the ability to kill without leaving a trace... but when he encounters Zhou Fengliu's "I was careless and didn't dodge," he's truly left speechless and unable to express his bitterness.

According to the skill description of "I was careless and didn't dodge," any sneak attack outside of your field of vision will be dodged without your awareness...

Zhou Fengliu, who was asleep, had his eyes tightly closed and could not see anything...

This put Zhou Fengliu in an "invincible" state, making it impossible for him to be hit by a sneak attack from any direction.

Assassination?

He loses the moment he opens his eyes...
