What Yun Jian said startled the men in front of her. The reason was obvious; Yun Jian was pretty and youthful, fresh at an age of 16-17, yet she said something like that.
Not only had it surprised the men before her, Yu Shaoluo, An Zhengliang, Sis Black and the others were similarly taken aback. It had even attracted the attention of all the other captives sitting around the dungeon.
Ge Junjian was the only one who knew why Yun Jian dared say that.
He knew about Yun Jian’s identity as Slaying God but when he saw the men trying to take advantage of Yun Jian and the girls, he forgot all about it and stood up to protect them out of reflex.
“Oh, wow! Is this girl trying to challenge our dungeon boss?” an evil-sounding voice of a man mocked just as Yun Jian finished talking; it was a man who was watching the commotion from the side.
“Heh, this girl is just on a suicide mission! How dare she calls our boss a scum? She mustn’t have known our boss’ identity before he enters the dungeon huh! He’s Martial King who ranked tenth on the international assassin chart before he came in the dungeon!”
“If it weren’t because he’s locked in here, people like us won’t ever get to see someone on the international assassin chart like Martial King!” another male voice said in a drawl.
Most people here had the attitude of doing whatever they could just to stay alive for another day since their perception was that they would not ever get to leave the dungeon. Without anything else to talk about, they liked bringing up their past when they used to be outside.
Once An Zhengliang, Sis Black, Yu Shaoluo and their counterparts heard that the dungeon boss used to be someone on the international assassin chart, they wore a worried look.
Even Lin Wei who had been accepting challenges from all sorts of people in the cell and could barely stand up from the fights despite being the strongest of them all looked despaired as his eyes twitched.
The title of the dungeon boss did not come out of the blue. Martial King had killed countless people spending these years in the dungeon cell. No one in the dungeon would object his status as the boss in there because he was capable!
“Martial King?” Yun Jian narrowed her eyes when she heard the name.
Ranked the tenth on the international assassin chart, Martial King was active in an era far longer before Yun Jian’s debut even though she had heard of his name before. It was a pity that the man vanished out of thin air many years ago.
There was an unspoken rule on the international assassin chart. Assassins or secret agents who went missing for half a year would automatically be assumed to have died and others would replace their ranking.
Now, it seemed that Martial King had not died but was kept a captive in this dungeon. It was no wonder he went missing back in the years.
While Yun Jian’s eyes flitted, the men who stood nearby and had been calling Martial King their boss assumed that she was afraid and spoke again arrogantly looking at her, “That’s right, Martial King who used to rank the tenth on the assassin chart is our boss. Little girl, are you scared now? Be good and come over if you are, or else…”
That was all the men could say when a flash of a silhouette flickered before them. Yun Jian had kicked them flying and grabbed the collar of the man who had been provoking them to another spot.
Ge Junjian, Yu Shaoluo and others hurried to follow her.
…
In a certain corner, a man got up from an unconscious woman. He pulled up his zipper and was about to leave when a man was tossed to him.
The man was Martial King and the person thrown to him was the man who provoked Yun Jian just now.
When Martial King looked up and saw Yun Jian, he furrowed his brows.
“Who are you?” Martial King was still highly alert and asked instantly upon seeing Yun Jian. The girl looked young but she did not look like just a regular girl!
After Martial King’s question, Yun Jian’s similarly confident and brazen words came in reply, “I’m whatever status you hold. I’m here to tell you right now that your place as the dungeon boss is mine from now on.”
