My Wife, The Ice Queen President

Chapter 467: Chapter 0466: The Second Killing of Zhao Wuji (Part 2)_1

Zhao Wuji felt that today was just the worst, originally thinking that by associating with the Beast Organization, with a powerful backing, this operation would definitely go smoothly, and he would easily earn hundreds of millions in commission. He never imagined that it would turn out like this.

More than three hundred paratroopers from the Cloud Guild were almost entirely wiped out, even the right-hand man Green Tiger was killed. Now within the guild, apart from himself, almost everyone else was dead.

“To hell with the so-called foolproof plan, what about the more than twenty Genetic Monsters, they’re still dead as dodos,” Zhao Wuji cursed continuously.

Remembering the four words that Long Lan had on his lips, it just gave him a headache.

“Luckily I’m smart, I didn’t rush out at that time; otherwise, I would have definitely been killed by the monster that Reaper transformed into.”

As long as the green hills last, there will be no shortage of firewood, as long as he, the guild leader, does not die, there’s a chance to rise again. Now, the most important thing is to leave this accursed place.

He hurriedly fled towards the riverbank, preparing to leave at the fastest speed.

Suddenly, a chilling wind struck from behind, and he instinctively dodged and turned around.

Before him appeared a young girl around twenty-two or twenty-three years old, quite attractive with both figure and facial features. Too bad her chest was flat, like over-fried eggs.

Zhao Wuji glanced back and relaxing upon seeing she was alone, he breathed a sigh of relief.

“Little girl, who gave you such courage, do you know who I am?” Zhao Wuji said arrogantly.

“Cloud Guild’s old dog Zhao Wuji, today is your day to die,” Vermilion Bird said angrily.

“Just you?” Zhao Wuji let out a cold laugh.

“And me,” a male voice rang out.

Chen Xiao caught up, standing side by side with Vermilion Bird.

“United as husband and wife, their strength can cut through metal, Zhao Wuji, by this time next year, the grass on your grave will already be meters high,” Chen Xiao declared.

“All talk and no action.”

Vermilion Bird rolled her eyes at him, who was his spouse?

Zhao Wuji, seeing that the two were ridiculously young, couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

“If it were Reaper, I’d still be wary, but you two milk-fed babies think you can take me on; you truly don’t know the height of the sky or the depth of the earth,” Zhao Wuji laughed heartily.

He pulled out a thirty-centimeter Ghost-Head Saber from his body, its cold gleam flickering, clearly an extremely sharp weapon.

Suddenly, without any warning, he struck out, chopping directly at Vermilion Bird.

“What a cunning creature, actually launching a sneak attack.”

Fortunately, Vermilion Bird was already on guard and drew her dagger to meet the attack.

Clang clang clang, two shadows interwove at high speed, unable to be separated for a moment.

Chen Xiao didn’t make a move, just watched from the side, and after a few exchanges, he already had a general understanding of Zhao Wuji.

His strength was just a little stronger than Vermilion Bird’s; if they teamed up, their chances of winning were significant.

Zhao Wuji grew increasingly alarmed as they fought. He had previously thought that given Vermilion Bird’s young age, even if she had begun learning martial arts in her mother’s womb, she couldn’t be that great. He never expected her to be so formidable.

Her moves were sharp and decisive, without a hint of fancy flair, obviously a result of militarized training.

She was very adept at using her speed advantage to compensate for her lack of strength.

The further Zhao Wuji fought, the more frightened he became. Before, he had heard Long Lan talk about the core members of the Hunter Organization’s abilities, thinking that the strongest was just at Green Tiger’s level, but it turned out they were much stronger than he had imagined.

Where on earth had Reaper found such young, freakishly talented fighters?

The guy beside her who hadn’t made a move seemed to be not weak either. If the two united, he definitely wouldn’t benefit from the encounter.

At that thought, Zhao Wuji prepared to make quick work of one before killing the other.

Unfortunately, Chen Xiao didn’t give him the chance and, holding his dagger in a reverse grip, charged forward.

“Zhao Wuji, let me show you just how formidable we are as husband and wife.”

Chen Xiao shouted loudly and attacked from behind.

Perhaps it was because they had been together frequently of late, Chen Xiao felt that the tacit understanding between him and Vermilion Bird was growing stronger. They could even interpret each other’s intentions from a mere glance, allowing them to coordinate seamlessly.

Under their flawless teamwork, Zhao Wuji was forced to retreated step by step, sustaining injuries in several places.

Only then did he realize that he had misjudged the two in front of him—they were definitely not ordinary folks.

Feeling the pressure mounting, Zhao Wuji let out a loud shout and feigned an attack before quickly fleeing.

Vermilion Bird’s dagger flew through the air with a whoosh, burying itself in Zhao Wuji’s back.

Zhao Wuji, having faced countless life and death situations himself, didn’t let the wound hinder his escape and kept running.

Chen Xiao and Vermilion Bird gave chase without pause. After more than ten minutes, they finally surrounded a blood-loss weakened and fatigued Zhao Wuji.

Zhao Wuji was truly panic-stricken now and pleaded desperately, “As long as you don’t kill me, I can give you money, any amount you want. How much can you make working for the Hunter Bodyguard Company? Living in fear every day, not knowing when you might die. I can give you a large sum of money. With it, you could live without worries for the rest of your life, maybe find a beautiful place to enjoy the world just the two of you. Wouldn’t that be nice?”

“His suggestion isn’t bad. We could make some money and spend a perfect vacation in Hawaii. What do you think?” Chen Xiao asked Vermilion Bird.

Vermilion Bird nodded her head, “Give me an account number, transfer the money, and I might spare your life.”

Following that, Vermilion Bird gave him an account number.

Zhao Wuji rejoiced and hurriedly made a phone call to have ten million transferred.

The message on the phone arrived quickly.

Vermilion Bird took out her phone; a message had come through confirming the deposit of ten million.

“That’s only half. As long as I’m alive and set free, I’ll transfer the other half to you immediately,” said Zhao Wuji.

To deal with Reaper, the Beast Organization gave him three hundred million in operating funds. Even though he only took a thirty percent commission, it still amounted to nearly one hundred million. Giving twenty million to the two before him, he’d still make a substantial profit.

“I said that if you transfer the money, I would spare your life,” said Vermilion Bird, then she gave Chen Xiao a signal with her eyes.

Chen Xiao caught the hint and blocked Zhao Wuji’s path, sneering, “She said she’d spare you a path to live, but I never agreed.”

“You’re not keeping your word, let’s fight it out.”

Enraged, Zhao Wuji’s beard bristled as he mustered his last bit of strength and charged.

Just as he reached Chen Xiao, he suddenly felt a pain in his back where Vermilion Bird had forcefully plunged her dagger.

“Didn’t you say you’d give me an escape route?” Zhao Wuji raged.

“I said I’d give you a way to live, but I never said I wouldn’t hurt you.”

Chen Xiao swiftly moved forward and thrust forcefully, driving the dagger straight through Zhao Wuji’s heart.

“I never said I would let you go.”

Zhao Wuji spat out a mouthful of blood and collapsed to the ground with a thud.

“How could I face Brother Xiong if I didn’t kill you?” Chen Xiao said coldly.

Zhao Wuji tried to say something, but he could no longer speak; a gush of fresh blood spilled from his mouth, and he died.
