Chapter 146: A talk with Zahra!

*swoosh* Zhao Tian flew in the air as he continued to search for Zahra Ashante's presence. After a few moments of searching, he found her sitting on the rooftop of a building and she seemed like she was waiting for him.

*swish* he landed on top of the building and Zahra Ashante who was sitting on the edge of the building's top, jumped down and leaped towards Zhao Tian hugging his neck tightly enveloping him in a tight embrace. "Tiann~~~" she exclaimed joyfully.

ZhaoTian's lipscurvedintoawrysmile seeing her clinging to him. A little later, after savoring his warmth she took a step back, a wide smile plastered on her face. "You saw the news?"

Zhao Tian walked to the edge of the building's rooftop "Yeah, I did." he uttered sitting on it. Zahra Ashante also sat beside him "It is that Zhu Kim who wanted to kill him."

Zhao Tian gave a slight nod "It is expected since I killed his son."

Zahra Ashante understood why Zhu Kim wanted to kill Zhao Tian and nodded "He was really annoying, so I killed him quickly. Well, I also have to thank him as I got to meet the love of my life, hehe..." She giggledplayfully, hugging his hand with her arms.

Zhao Tian narrowed his eyes looking at the woman, contemplating in his mind "So, what is your motive?"

Huh? "Motive?" Zahra Ashante was puzzled and tilted her head.

Zhao Tian spoke "You just saw me yesterday and you are acting like this..." he said glancing down at her arms hugging his hand.

"So, I am sure there must be a hidden reason for you to approach me like this."

"Haha!" Zahra Ashante laughed and shook her head "No, No, I actually love you... there are no hidden motives. You don't believe in love at first sight?"

Zhao Tian's frown deepened as he couldn't just trust a woman who popped up yesterday. "Zahra, there are times when you need to be serious. So I am asking again, why did you approach me?"

As Zahra Ashante noticed the seriousness in his tone and saw his eyes narrow, her previously cheerful smile diminished and she couldn't help but let out a sigh "I am serious and I really don't have any bad motives towards you."

"I honestly think you are so attractive and my heart fluttered when I first saw your picture. So I became curious about you and when I saw you in real life, I instantly fell in love with you."

Hearing her sincere reply, Zhao Tian squinted his eyes and the truth is that he also never felt any danger from her. Even during their fight, she was just playing around.

Zahra Ashante giggled and spoke "But, you don't fall in love with me back."

Huh? Zhao Tian was quite perplexed hearing this, then she doesn't want him to love her?

Seeing his questioning eyes, Zahra Ashante turned her gaze to the vehicles moving on the roads "I have a purpose I need to complete, so before that, I don't want you to fall in love with me."

Zhao Tian asked in a casual tone "And what is that goal?"

Zahra Ashante clenched her fist and killing intent oozed out from her body as the image of a man's face flashed in her mind "My main purpose is to kill my Boss, the leader of Eclipse Order,"

Feeling the overwhelming aura surrounding her Zhao Tian muttered "Control your emotions."

Hearing his voice, Zahra Ashante snapped out of her thoughts and lowered her head apologizing "I am sorry..."

"What grudge do you have against this Boss of yours? Is he not treating you well in the Organization?" Zhao Tian asked, his curiosity piqued.

Zahra Ashante shook her head "No, before he got appointed as the Boss of Eclipse Order. He was also an emperor-rank assassin like me."

"One day, on his way from a mission, because of his blood lust he killed a village full of people. An 8-year-old child looked at her family getting brutally killed right in front of her."

"The assassin also laughed seeing the child screaming in horror and kicked the child as she got hurled to a burning building."

"That child is me." Zahra Ashante said with a slight smile on her lips.

With a soft sigh, she continued "But fortunately, I was saved by a wandering cultivator that day and he also found that I could control astral energy."

"Seeing that I have the talent to cultivate, my Master trained me in my wind affinity. And I also worked hard since I wanted to get my revenge back on that assassin."

"Even my Master was surprised by my cultivation speed and later he found out that I have a special physique which is helping me to cultivate quickly."

"I also used the physique efficiently and quickly crossed the cultivation stages. Later, I joined an assassin group because if I want to kill him, I need more information about him."

"And then I also found out about Eclipse Order and joined the Organization. I climbed up in the ranks catching the eyes of my boss."

"And I could recognize it was him with just a glance. He took me under him and trained me, but he doesn't know the blade he is sharpening has aimed to kill him."

Hearing the story, Zhao Tian asked "Then why don't you just kill him?"

"No..." Zahra Ashante shook her head vehemently "He is one of the powerful cultivators on Earth who has reached the peak of cultivation. The 9th stage of Monarch Astyral Stage."

"Oh." Zhao Tian was amused, as this was the first time he heard about a cultivator at the 9th level of Monarch Astral Stage.

Zahra Ashante nodded her head "That's why I don't want you to fall in love with me. What would you do if I failed my goal and died in the process?"

She glanced at his eyes "It will surely hurt you if you love me, so that's why I don't want you to reciprocate my feelings... yet."

Her eyes softened as she leaned in whispering "When I complete my mission and after I took my revenge, I will find you and give myself to you."

Zhao Tian couldn't help but chuckle hearing this "It would probably take decades for you to become strong and kill him."

Zahra Ashante was surprised as this was the first time she saw him giggle. She also chuckled "What? You will wait decades for me, right?"

Zhao Tian shook his head and said in a teasing tone "No, I already have some lovely women. Guess, I'll just spend some time with them."

"Zahra Ashante retorted "You are rude and... you have other women? Womanizer?"

"Haha..."

"..."

"..."

Zahra Ashante continued looking at the vehicles moving around the roads like small ants, her hands still around Zhao Tian's arm "Well, I think it's time to leave."

She turned her gaze to Zhao Tian and her eyes saddened "I don't know when will I see you again or will I be alive to see you."

Hearing this, Zhao Tian frowned his eyebrows, he saw this woman just yesterday but after the long talk he had just now, he had to admit that he might have grown some feelings for her.

"If you want, I can help you with your goal."

Zahra Ashante's eyes softened hearing his words, but she shook her head "I know you are pretty strong, but I don't want you to be involved in this. I will try... and if I can't I will run to you for help."

*smooch* She gently pressed her lips against his cheek, leaving a lingering touch as she whispered and a slight blush adorned her face "I am leaving... Please, don't forget me Tian" Her words echoed in his ear as she disappeared with the wind. *woosh*
