Chapter 467: Chapter 501, Should I Try Firing a Shot?

What is an assassin?

To ordinary people, assassins are a group one cannot normally see; even if one is determined to search for them, they are hard to find. They hide among the ordinary populace, appearing without a shadow and disappearing without a trace. Others simply cannot discern their identity.

It is precisely because they are adept at concealing themselves that their mindsets remain calm and composed at all times. Unlike those who shout and brawl, those are not assassins, those are thugs.

An assassin is someone who, regardless of the time or environment, always maintains their composure. It’s not about killing invisibly, but to ensure that after the kill, they keep their skills and fame deeply hidden. That is an assassin.

Inferior assassins cannot achieve this step, for the gap between inferior and superior assassins lies in a single word: ruthlessness.

Take, for example, this man, who by the riverbank, just killed an entire family.

This family included two elderly individuals, a middle-aged couple, and a seven-year-old child. When this man acted, he disregarded their screams; in their terrified eyes, he showed not the slightest hesitation. With one sweep of his blade, they all died.

Perhaps they had done wrong, perhaps their conduct had been poor, but it was not deserving of death.

Yet, they had died.

Witnessing this scene, Li Xuan finally couldn’t bear it and ran to the side, knelt on the ground, and vomited violently. He simply couldn’t stand such a bloody and horrifying scene. It was truly dreadful.

"Heh, young man, not even able to stomach a bit of gore, how will you ever handle big matters in the future?" Lin Zheng shook his head as he stood with his hands clasped behind his back.

Then Lin Zheng turned, looking at the tall man, and said, "Luo Hui, take all these bodies to Fang Yi’s place. Remember, don’t leave behind any trace of your presence, you understand how it should be done, right?"

Luo Hui bowed his head, saying with difficulty, "Understood."

Lin Zheng said, "Good, you are already a ghost soldier of the Lin Family. I hope you remain loyal; it is your bounden duty to handle this matter correctly. I wish for no mistakes."
