The Geared Immortal

Chapter 329 - Awaken To A New World? Part 9

SLIA and the Virtual World Part 3

/*unedited*/

The Hui clan is one of the biggest clans in city H, and they have many businesses all over the county of China and other parts of the world. However, the old patriarch of the Hui clan has already retired from the limelight and decided to pursue his hobby of collecting artifacts.

With him is his favorite grandson Jun Hui. Jun Hui is a clever child since he was young and was very close to his grandfather. He grew up along with his grandfather and has learned the ways of collecting artifacts and selling them.

However, nowadays, they have been working with the government. This is because the government is willing to pay more for the restoration and finding of relics and artifacts, especially weapons and armors. Hence both the grandfather and grandson duo has been busy lately.

Last week Jun Hui along with an expedition team, unearth a cave full of artifacts and relics. However, the most precious of those things are the three broken weapons, a sword, a war ax, and a spear.

So today, they have invited many of these famous people in the field to check the weapons out and see if it can be fixed. But they never expected that Jun Hui's big brother would hold a party right at this time so they didn't have a choice for lesser argument sake but to be in a room at the side of the mansion.

And then it happened, they were attacked by an unknown assailant… a woman.

Green Viper is one of the top ten most dangerous assassins in the world. She lived in southern Europe and built her prestige in that place. She is an expert in covert operations and stealthy attacks, hence her code name Green Viper.

She was paid a large sum of money to infiltrate the Hui clan mansion and steal something. Along with her mission is the illumination of the old patriarch of the Hui clan and his grandson.

After determining the location of her target, she immediately went to work.

As she quickly dashed in, she quickly scanned the room and saw the people inside. Without a word, she quickly took out two thin knives from her side and threw it to the direction of Old Man Hui and Jun Hui.

Swoosh!!!

Nobody would expect such a situation and everyone was in a panic all of a sudden.

Suddenly, everything turned quiet as the woman landed calmly and stood in the middle.

"This is not your business, so I suggest everyone lay on the ground. If you shout, I will kill you," she said with confidence in her eyes.

She has already illuminated her two targets, so now she is going to take the artifacts. It was such an easy task.

When she was about to step forward, she suddenly froze.

That is because, in the corner of her eyes, she noticed the figure of the old man and Jun Hui still standing.

"What? What happened? My knives!" she thought as she suddenly jumped back like a scared cat.

She looks at the people around her and a cold sweat immediately covered her back. It seems that she has underestimated her target. There seems to be an expert hidden amid the people around her.

But she was not scared. Right now she was truly angered.

In her line of work, there was never a chance that her target would get unscathed after facing her. However, right at this time, it seems that she missed her two targets. Because her two knives are embedded on the wall behind the two people she wanted to kill.

In her rage, she immediately took out another two knives and began throwing them once again aiming to claim their lives.

However, for some unknown reason, it seems that she could not hit them at all.

"Who are you! Come out!" she shouted as she looks around the room.

Everyone looks at her incredulously.

In their minds, they were thinking that the woman suddenly turned crazy.

"You won't come out! Then see these people inside this room die then!" she shouted as she began throwing knives randomly around her.

"Hahaha! Die! Die! Die!" shouted Green viper as she let out all the knives in her body.

After her frenzied attacks, she began to pant heavily as she has exerted too much effort in that wild rage.

However, before she can show a contented smile on her face. She noticed that all of her knives are on the floor and the walls. But none hit any person in that room.

Everyone was in a panic at that time and they were covering as they cower on the ground and the corner.

Seeing her failure, she suddenly showed a scared expression.

Suddenly the pudgy man in business suit roared angrily.

"You bitch! Are you crazy? I was not part of the target! F*ck you!" Leng Ji shouted in anger.

He was too scared at that time that he almost pisses his pants. How could he not berate the person he hired to do the hit? And in that heat of the moment, he lost his cool and let the cat out of the bag.

Everyone looks at him with murderous eyes.

Seeing that he was too stupid to reveal his plan, he immediately rushed towards Jun Hui with a gun on his hand.

"If you want the job done, do it yourself." The muttered while rushing to Jun Hui who was taken aback.

But before he can reach the young man, he suddenly fell to the ground directly smashing his fat face on a table.

CRASH!!!

The woman, on the other hand, is already unable to move as she just stood there.

Soon, rapid footsteps can be heard as the faces of black-suited men enter the room. They a fat man lying unconscious on the ground and a woman wearing a service crew outfit. From the looks of it, they can immediately determine what had happened.

"Take these two, I want to question them." the old man said in a calm voice.

Jun Hui is already on his side while holding the old man's shoulder.

With a nod, the guards took the two outside. Then suddenly, a middle-aged man who has a similarity with Jun Hui ran inside the room.

"Father! Father! Huhuhu…" he said while crying in grief.

His action made everyone dumbfounded. In their minds, they were thinking that the man thought that his father is already dead.

"I'm not hurt, stupid brat!" reprimanded the old man with an expression of disappointment.

"Everyone, I'm sorry for this accident… Please, leave this room first… I will visit you personally to convey my guilt for involving you in this matter." The old man said with sincerity.

The people in the room cupped their hand and others nodded in agreement as they said their goodbyes.

When everyone left, the old patriarch of Hui, Jun Hui, Shin Jiao, and the current patriarch of the Hui clan was left in the room.

Guang Hui is the oldest son of Bai Hui, the old patriarch of the Hui clan. Guang Hui is a middle-aged man in his 50's and is a vicious person. He hid this from his father and just showed a benevolent character. He secretly plotted against his sibling just to take the patriarchal position of the family.

However, his true self immediately surfaced after he got the position which is one of the regrets of old man Bai Hui. However, as long as the Hui clan can survive then it was fine.

He could not trust the rest of his children because they too showed their vicious side upfront. Hence he just decided for his eldest son to maintain that position.

But now, he is feeling a pang of regret. He truly regretted his choices and now decided to do something about it. At least it was not too late.

"Guang, I am truly disappointed in you," he said in a low tone.

"What do you mean father?" Guang Hui asked showing a confused look.

However, deep in his heart, he was feeling scared. He didn't know if his father knew about his plans, but he can't back out now. The only one who can stop him and his plan for the family is his father. So he decided to eliminate the old man along with his unfilial son who stood by his old father's side.

"I've wanted to ask you for a while now… Why have you aligned yourself with the Black Dragons? You know that they are a terrorist group, right? So… why?" old man Hui asked in deep concern.

Seeing his father's resolute question and from the looks of it he can't hide anything anymore, Guang Hui dropped all the pretense and sneered.

"Terrorist? Do you think the Black Dragons are just terrorists? Hahaha… We are going to conquer this world! We are going to be the kings and rulers of this world!" suddenly shouted Guang Hui.

"You… you've gone crazy!" shouted old Hui while pointing his old finger to his oldest son.

"Everyone! Get this man out of my face!" old Guang Hui shouted.

Then a group of men in black suits enters. However, they stood beside Guang Hui.

"Get him out of here!" the old man shouted in exasperation and anger.

However, the men didn't move a single step but just stood there.

"Haha… father, do you think they are still your people? They follow my command now… Green Viper! Finish the job now!" Guang Hui sneered as he waves his hand.

Green Viper suddenly appears behind him with a sinister smile on her face.

"I guess your luck is at its end… old man." she sneered while playing with the two knives in her hand.

Then she moved in a flash and threw them with quick and precise movements.

But suddenly, everyone froze in their spot as they saw a young man standing in front of Bai Hui and Jun Hui. In his hand are the two knives thrown by Green Viper.

"Mr…!" Jun Hui was shocked as he muttered.

Shin Jiao stood there like a mountain emitting a strong pressure at the group in front of him.. He just wanted his money, how come he stumbled upon this troublesome thing is what Shin Jiao is thinking.
