Zhang Heng didn’t look at the muscular man who had fallen to the ground and was crying out in pain. After putting away the sword, he walked over the man’s body and continued.

  Mr. G’s garden wasn’t that big, but he did plant a large number of plants. Other than the myriad species of flowers, there were a lot of weird trees as well. Among them, there was even a giant tree taller than a ten-story building. The flora around here was randomly planted, and since there were tons of poisonous and thorny plants, it turned the garden into a complicated maze.

  To walk past the garden in the shortest time possible, the easiest way was to undoubtedly follow the paths in the garden. However, the most dangerous thing in this garden was not the flowers and trees. Mr. G then used his bracelet to project the first camera’s image, but the first thing he saw was mud and blood. It appeared the wearer of the camera had been killed.

  “It seems our courier is really good at what he does.” Mr. G then asked the bodyguard next to him with raised eyebrows, “Do you think he can pass the test?”


  The latter thought for a while and said, “I watched the video too. It was impressive that he could singlehandedly deal with so many enemies at the same time. However, his enemies were just a group of violent bikers. Since the middleman was close to him, the enemies didn’t dare to go all out. It’s different this time. The people in the garden are some of the most violent people we have ever encountered. We hired them according to your requirements. Some of them are our enemies, and they have caused us lots of headaches in the past. And you promised them, as long as they kill the target and go through the garden, you’d grant them the freedom they have been longing for and nullify all their debts. In other words, they will be desperate enough to get the deal done. It will not be easy to get past them.”


  Miss F frowned when she heard what he said. She then looked into Mr. G’s eyes and said gravely, “Aren’t you taking things a little too far? This is not a test. You are making things difficult for him.”


  “Sorry. But this has nothing to do with personal grievances. I have to know what his limits are,” Mr. G said. “I just received something from an informant. Shengtang Morgan will send an emergency response team to stop this deal.”


  “Emergency response team? Their serial numbers?”


  “They start with zero. You know what this means,” Mr. G said. “All members of this team are clones. Before the age of 16, they received a lot of high-intensity training. Ten of these will be selected from 10,000 clones. The professional personnel would then program all kinds of combat skills, including reconnaissance, sniping, close-quarters assassination, and intelligence analysis into their brain…… Each one is an excellent all-rounder.

  “They are the perfect killing machine, completing their given tasks no matter what. I know you value him very much, but he is just a bodyguard clone of a security company. And he is alone. For your sake, I’m willing to give him an opportunity. If he can’t even get out of this garden, how can I believe that he can complete the task while he was under the emergency response team’s attack?”


  Miss F went silent.

  “As I said, he came to me at the wrong time. Otherwise, I really don’t mind helping him and making a new friend. To be honest, I kinda like him.”


  Mr. G then opened the red wine in front of him.

  “It’s a pity,” he muttered.

  While talking, he switched the projection to the second and third cameras. The wearers of these two cameras were snipers, and they had found their perfect spots to set up shop. One hid behind a sycamore tree while the other sniper concealed himself within the flower bed.

  There was a saying on the battlefield: if a sniper saw you first, you were dead. Therefore, this was an unfair battle from the beginning. The two snipers chose their sniping spots in advance and pointed their snipers at the only path. They were confident enough that they would kill Zhang Heng the moment that he showed up. And the whole ordeal would end there.

  At this moment, their index finger on the trigger seemed to be announcing that they had won the battle. Mr. G did not think it was possible for Zhang Heng to avoid the deadly duo, especially since the two snipers were sharpshooters. They never missed their shots, not to mention that there were two of them.

  The sniper hiding behind the flower bed could not help, but he got distracted by other things. To him, Zhang Heng was no different than a lump of dead meat. But according to Mr. G’s promise to them, only the person who killed Zhang Heng could go free. In other words, he needed to kill Zhang Heng before the sniper hiding behind the tree killed him. And doing that wouldn’t be that easy.

  When the sniper behind the flower bed was still thinking about how to win the competition, he heard an unfamiliar voice say, “Why are you being distracted?”


  The sniper was startled by the voice, but before he could react, the tungsten steel sword had slit his throat.

  At the same time, the sniper hiding behind the tree also heard the movement. His body quickly reacted, and he turned the muzzle for the first time, aiming at the flower bed. He was looking for his target. However, other than his companion’s corpse, he could see no one else.

  The sniper then thought about something. Since their target could approach them silently, why should he make a sound when he killed his enemy? Immediately, a chill ran up the sniper’s back. He turned his stiff neck around, and he saw his target standing behind him.

  It was a pity that he did not get the chance to pick up his sniper.

  Zhang Heng wiped the blood from the tungsten steel sword on the back of the corpse. He then turned around, walked to the intersection, and lifted the bucket of honey.

  Indeed, the complex environment in the garden was very conducive for the sniper to hide and shoot.

  At the same time, this was the perfect place for an assassin to move. In the Roman dungeon, Zhang Heng had increased his assassin skills to Lv3. And it made him an assassin that was on the same level as a Balance Blade assassin. That was why he could take advantage of the surrounding plants to approach the two snipers quietly. In fact, Mr. G had hired the two snipers to increase the difficulty of the assessment.

  But everyone knew that this place held more disadvantages than advantages for Zhang Heng. From the moment Zhang Heng walked on the small path, the prey and the hunter swapped roles. When Mr. G saw that the two snipers were dead through the projection, he finally showed a touch of surprise on his face. The thing that surprised him was not the fact that he defeated the two snipers. After all, Zhang Heng did singlehandedly defeat a group of bikers. It was not a surprise that he could kill the two snipers on his own. Mr. G was surprised by how fast and clean Zhang Heng killed the two snipers.

  “Interesting. I can’t believe I misjudged him. He is more than just an ordinary bodyguard clone.”
