"...You are finally here, Miss."

Hei looked at Ceylon in front of him, and after glancing at the gun in Jessica's hand, he turned his gaze to Ceylon.

"I knew you would come here. After being rejected by Kroenig, you must have come back to the radio tower to spread the news. You wanted everyone in the city to hear your voice."

"But this will cause greater panic."

"Miss, I know there are some misunderstandings between you and your father, and you may not like the city of Xiosta, but I think that misunderstandings between family members can be resolved, right?"

"If your report is announced, it will not only ruin this Obsidian Festival, but also your father's years of hard work, and even the entire Xiosta."

"…Hei, do you still think I'm kidding?"

Xilan looked at the guard she trusted the most, the guard who had always been by her side like a sister. After a long while, she slowly said:

"I want to save the entire Xiosta City, but you think I'm still fooling around, that I'm going against my father because of my personal feelings?"

"Hei, you're wrong. Although I don't really like my father, I always have the clearest grasp of the major issues."

"Sometimes, I've always wanted to say this to you and my father."

"—Stop treating me like a child."

"The years I spent studying in Victoria were not wasted. I have been studying Originium disease and everything related to it."

"Hei, you may not know this, but I once went deep into dangerous areas and Originium mines alone to study the origin of Originium disease and a series of other things."

"Why do you think I learned all this?"

"..." Hei didn't say anything when she heard this, but there seemed to be something more in her calm eyes.

"Hei, whether you believe it or not, I can only say that I was not deceived. It was you who was deceived. You are the one who was deceived by Kroning!"

"Kronin is the one who wants to destroy the entire Xiosta! I am now standing with the people of Rhodes Island to save this city and bring the real culprit to justice!"

"Hei, say it again, don't stand in front of me!"

"..."

However, in front of Ceylon, Hei still did not answer. She seemed to be hesitating, and seemed to be thinking about something.

"…Although it's a bit unqualified for a sniper to say this, I'm losing my patience."

However, at this moment, beside Ceylon, Jessica's voice came out calmly, her eyes were fixed on Hei in front of her from beginning to end, and she said coldly:

"Miss Ceylon, I may have to make her suffer a little bit before I can make this woman who doesn't listen to others obey. If you are afraid, you can close your eyes."

"——When I do this, it might hurt a little."

Chapter 35: Jessica VS Black

"who are you?"

Jessica suddenly spoke, breaking the atmosphere of the confrontation between Ceylon and Hei. At this moment, Hei looked at Jessica, and his eyes turned cold in an instant.

Hei is only gentle towards Ceylon. To others, she is a cold-blooded killer.

Moreover, Hei could feel that this woman...had a similar feeling to her.

"...I remember that you are from Rhodes Island." Hei said this, and his eyes turned colder as he looked at Jessica, even revealing murderous intent.

"No matter what your purpose is, stay away from the young lady."

"——I can't do that." Jessica smiled coldly and quickly rejected Hei's words.

"First of all, strictly speaking, I am not a member of Rhodes Island. I am just following Rhodes Island's orders. There is no employment relationship between me and Rhodes Island."

"Besides, Miss Ceylon is now a candidate member of Rhodes Island. As a partner of Rhodes Island, I have an obligation to protect her personal safety."

"--What did you say?!"

However, Jessica's words made Hei's pupils condense slightly, and he subconsciously glared at Ceylon on the side, and almost shouted in a voiceless voice: "Miss, you——"

"That's right! I am now a contracted reserve member of Rhodes Island!"

It was the first time that Hei glared at her so harshly, and Ceylon was a little scared subconsciously. But when he thought of his tough words when he was confronting Hei just now, Ceylon suppressed the trembling in his heart, tried to straighten his chest, and said to Hei:

"I have signed an agreement with a member of Rhodes Island who is probably a cadre. After I safely transfer everyone in Xiosta, as a thank you, I will join Rhodes Island and work for Rhodes Island's research on Originium Disease for twenty years!"

"Twenty years?!"

Hei finally couldn't hold back her expression anymore and shouted out these words that made her tremble in a roar-like manner. Her pupils couldn't stop trembling.

Twenty years, what does twenty years mean? Hei has been trained as a mercenary since he was a child. In order to survive, he has been constantly in and out of the battlefield until now!

Her combat experience is only twenty years!

But what about Ceylon? Ceylon is like a flower growing in a greenhouse. She could have had a better, enviable, carefree life. Relying on her father's industry, she could have a great life to enjoy.

She can enjoy her favorite research on Originium, or do other things.

She can marry the man she likes at will, and even let him take her surname.

She can do whatever she wants, and there are countless people who pamper her, treat her like a treasure, cherish her, and love her.

These are treatments that Hei has never enjoyed before. Of course, Hei would envy her eldest daughter, and even be a little jealous sometimes, but if Ceylon could enjoy such a life, she would definitely cry for joy.

but now……

Miss Ceylon was actually deceived by this shady company, which was not sure if it was the real Rhodes Island or some other shady company! She actually signed a 20-year contract that was like a body-selling contract! She had to work for this company on a voluntary basis for a full 20 years!

Twenty years! This is a beautiful youth for a girl! Miss Ceylon is nineteen years old this year, so she has to be close to forty before she can come out? !

Miss Ceylon’s race is not a particularly long-lived species. At 40 years old... for a girl of her age, her youth may be wasted!

——Unforgivable!

"You guys - have violated something you shouldn't have violated!"

It was the first time that Ceylon saw Hei so angry, and his anger was so evident. Even though Hei's expression of suppressing his anger looked no different from usual, it was the first time that Ceylon felt the anger from Hei so directly.

Hei's race is Filin, but at this moment, the angry Hei looks nothing like a member of the Filin clan. This strong murderous aura is beyond Ceylon's imagination!

However, precisely because of Hei's murderous intent, Ceylon quietly had an answer in his heart.

Hei... maybe he really is what Chen Qi said, a killer.

However, just as Ceylon was thinking this in his heart, the battle had already begun!

Hei quickly turned over, pulled out the crossbow he had been carrying on his back, aimed it at Jessica in front of him, and was about to load ammunition.

"boom."

"Crack!"

However, there was no time to load the arrow, and he felt his palm go numb. His black eyes narrowed, and he looked at the crossbow arrow in his hand in disbelief, which actually slipped out of his palm.

Hei's pupils dilated slightly, and he looked at his empty palms in disbelief.

Just now, at that moment, Jessica's bullet hit the body of the crossbow in Black's hand. She loaded the arrow without grabbing the body of the crossbow with both hands, and the crossbow in her hand was knocked away.

It's a very simple principle, but when it happens in Hei's hands, it's a very incredible thing.

Although Hei is good at assassination and long-range sniping, her close-range sniping has never been a weakness! On the contrary, in close-range situations, Hei's skills are at their most complete. Her speed and reaction speed are unmatched by others.

But this woman - not only did she keep up with Hei's speed, she was even faster than Hei?!

Hei can guarantee that this woman did not aim with a sniper scope. Such a short time was not enough for aiming. She was shooting blindly!

This woman's sniping skills are actually better than hers?!

This was the first time Hei had encountered such a situation. As a sniper, the crossbow arrow actually slipped out of his hand, which was simply a shame. However, Hei could no longer care about so many things at this time.

In an instant, the black figure turned into a shadow and rushed towards Jessica!

She pulled out a dagger from her waist and attacked Jessica's throat!

So what if the sniper is strong? Hei is not just a sniper, she is a killer! A mercenary! She must have no weaknesses! Once she is approached, close combat is absolutely necessary.

There were people who rushed to Hei and wanted to kill her at close range, but those idiots, without exception, died under Hei's blade.

At least two dozen foolish people who didn't know how to live or die had died under Hei's dagger. But at this moment, Hei, who was swinging the sword, didn't seem as confident as before.

Even though the woman in front of him didn't seem to react.

"boom!"

"Ouch!" Suddenly, Hei felt a sharp pain in his abdomen and cried out in pain almost subconsciously. He felt a cramping pain in his internal organs and almost vomited blood.

However, the next moment, in front of Hei, a shadow followed closely and came towards her!

"boom!"

There was a sudden sharp pain in his head, and Hei was almost unconscious at this moment. Fortunately, the opponent obviously controlled the strength, otherwise that blow would be enough to send Hei to the gates of hell.

However, even if Hei is not dead now, he has lost the strength to stand up.

But Hei did not give up.

"Ah——!" Hei felt her head spinning. She wanted to struggle to get up, but found that she couldn't do it.

The blur in front of her eyes made her unable to move, however, a black gun barrel was already pointed at Hei's head.

"Miss Ceylon, I have subdued this rookie subordinate of yours."

Jessica's cold voice came again, but Ceylon on the other side hadn't even reacted. For the two of them, this fight was very long, but for Ceylon, it was just a matter of a moment.

She only saw Hei's gun being knocked down, and then he rushed towards Jessica, and then the next second, he was defeated somehow.

Of course, what Ceylon saw most clearly was Jessica's ruthless attack on Hei's head with the butt of the gun in her hand!

"--black?!"

Ceylon finally recovered from the shock, let out a mournful cry towards the fallen Hei, and was about to run forward.

"Hei, what's wrong with you?!"

"——Don't come close, Miss!"

However, even though everything in front of him was blurry and his mind seemed to be buzzing with ten thousand flies, Hei still recognized Ceylon's voice at the first moment and exclaimed subconsciously.

After receiving Hei's answer, Ceylon was obviously relieved. She thought Hei had been hit hard and had fainted.

However, it must be very painful. Ceylon looked at the butt of the gun in Jessica's hand and couldn't help swallowing his saliva, feeling a little scared.

She didn't want to be hit on the head by the butt of the gun.

However, at this moment, Hei's eyes seemed to have regained their vision. Looking at the muzzle of the gun that was already in front of him, Hei's pupils twitched slightly, and then returned to their usual calm.

"...Who are you?" Hei looked at Jessica, whose face he could not see. At this moment, she actually seemed a little relaxed, probably because she had given up resisting.

"Are you one of the people I killed who got caught? I did let a few people go on purpose, but they were so frightened that they went crazy and had no power to resist."

"Besides, I don't remember letting a woman like you go."

"..." However, facing Hei's question, Jessica did not answer. She still just pointed the gun barrel at Hei, with no intention of relaxing.

"Not going to answer?" Hei chuckled when she saw this. She saw Ceylon on the other side out of the corner of her eye. A few subtle lights flashed in her eyes, and then she spoke again.

"...Are you from Rhodes Island?"

"Yes." Jessica finally responded, concisely and to the point.

"If so... I'm relieved." Hearing this, Hei seemed to be relieved, then slowly closed his eyes and said:

"If you want revenge, come on. I have been prepared to die on the battlefield since I was captured and forced to become a mercenary more than 20 years ago."

"I only ask one thing of you. Please take good care of the young lady on my behalf."

"Your ability... is stronger than mine. If you are here, Miss Ceylon will definitely be safer than if she is with me."

It’s just... I feel a little unwilling.

I have been hovering on the brink of life and death for twenty years, but I didn't expect that I would be defeated in Xiosta now.

Is it because you are unwilling to accept being defeated?

……No.

I just feel that... the person who stays by the young lady's side is no longer myself, and I feel a little...

"...Can't you leave behind some original last words?"

However, Jessica's cold and slightly helpless voice sounded slowly, and the next moment, Hei only felt that the foot that was stepping on his chest had been released, and the muzzle of the gun pointed at him in front of him had also been slowly retracted.

"I don't want to be your babysitter. I just want to get back a debt."
