The assertive and pointed voice of the girl sounded awfully like the melodious voice of grim reaper to everyone’s ear.
It was especially to Old Sir Mu as he was already prepared to battle the elite assassins to their doom just so he could fight for time for his kids and grandchildren to leave. Mu Family must not fall! His descendants must not be dragged into this! These were his current thoughts.
To the old man, it was his lifelong wish for his descendants to grow up healthy. He could die but not them—they had a bright future ahead of them!
It was just that Old Sir Mu did not expect a female voice to speak up and be heard by everyone in that instant. More crucially, the owner of such confident voice was Yun Jian—the mysterious yet impressive teenage girl!
“Yingying, stop your friend from saying more! You guys are leaving with me!” The Mu Family members were shocked, especially Mu Hong who quickly talked to Mu Ying in an attempt for his daughter to stop Yun Jian from saying more nonsense.
Mu Hong did not mean ill. He merely felt that if Yun Jian continued to speak, it would attract the attention of the group of elite assassins before them.
Yun Jian was a friend his daughter, Mu Ying, had brought home as a guest, so she was the most innocent one out of all of them! If something did happen to Yun Jian at their place, Mu Hong would feel guilty about it.
It was the same for Old Sir Mu. He was a virtuous military man even though he had retired for years. If something were to happen to Yun Jian during her visit, Old Sir Mu was the kind of man who would save Yun Jian first even if he had to sacrifice his grandchildren.
Seeing Lonewolf and the other elite assassins freeze after they heard Yun Jian, Old Sir Mu quickly urged his second son, Mu Hong, and his wife, Tian Fangfang, to leave with the kids first.
“Hong’er, hurry up and go!” Old Sir Mu said as he pulled out a jackknife from his pocket and put himself in front of Lonewolf and the other killers.
“Kids, leave with us, hurry!” Tian Fangfang ran over to grab Yun Jian and Mu Ying’s hands as she urged and moved toward the mansion’s backdoor.
Mu Ying had an elder brother who was not home right now.
Tian Fangfang ran and caught Yun Jian and Mu Ying’s hands with the plan to retreat in the shortest time possible. It was when she grabbed both their hands that she realized the two of them did not follow her and turn around.
Yun Jian had even pried off Tian Fangfang’s hand on her easily and took two steps toward Lonewolf, going past Old Sir Mu to stand before the Mu Family, as she met eyes with the head assassin with a sharp gaze.
Lonewolf was stunned when he heard what Yun Jian said earlier. Now that he saw her approaching himself, he asked with a squint, “Who are you?!”
Mu Rui felt an angry surge of blood within him when he saw Yun Jian walk up instead of leaving.
“Yun Jian, are you crazy? They’re assassins! What are you trying to do?!” Mu Rui gritted his teeth as he glared at Yun Jian like he was going to rip Yun Jian into pieces from how furious and anxious he looked.
He was already peeved at Yun Jian when she acted all mysterious previously.
Now? Yun Jian refused to listen to them and went up to Lonewolf for a staring contest!
This was Lonewolf—the ninth on the assassin ranking! All of them here could not possibly triumph him! The only solution was to try and escape, as many of them as possible! Yet Yun Jian was here causing more problems!
“Rui’er, pull her away. This is my personal affair!” Old Sir Mu panicked and shouted at Mu Rui when he saw Yun Jian putting herself in front of him to face Lonewolf.
Mu Rui was just about retort with a “no one’s saving her” when he heard Yun Jian say what stunned everyone and shocked Lonewolf once more with a smirk.
Her words were directed at Lonewolf. “It’s easy to get yourself killed when you don’t even know the one at the helm of the organization you’re in.”
