“This is an exchange between masters and yet you chose to care about the lives of these two
insignificant ants just like a hero.”
“Haha, it’s your funeral!”

Skylar.
He felt as though his chances of winning the battle had increased after witnessing Skylar putting
himself in harm’s way for the sake of the old men.

You claim yourself to be a master?
What a joke!
“Time’s ticking. Answer or I won’t leave a corpse behind for anyone to mourn you!”
Skylar sneered.
“Arrogance will be your downfall!”
Gray Monkey let out a loud cry, then withdrew two throwing knives from its pocket, and said with a
sinister smile, “Your beautiful wife and perfect child is at the intersection. Let’s see what’s faster. You or
my throwing knives!”
He swung his right hand.
Swish! Whoosh!
The throwing knives pierced through the air and shot toward the Land Rover a distance away at
lightning speed.
Yulia and Lola were still in the car!
“How dare you?!”
Skylar let out a battle cry.
He hadn’t felt much battling against Gray Monkey because the man was only doing it for the money.
Yet, he wanted his wife and child’s lives!
Gray Monkey had to die!
He can forget about having an intact corpse!
The moment the throwing knives were brandished, two leaves appeared in his hand.
With a muffled grunt, the leaves chased after the blades.
The flimsy leaves transformed into two golden rocks and were sent flying like loaded rounds of a gun.
Clang! Clang!
The sound of metal clashing against metal reverberated through the air.
In the blink of an eye, the two throwing knives that Gray Monkey tossed at the Land Rover were shot
down by two leaves.

Bang!
There was a resounding noise of a shot going off.
The fired bullets were sent right toward him.
This was the highlight of Gray Monkey’s plan.
He had pretended to attack the two old men, as well as Yulia and Lola to throw Skylar off.
It didn’t matter how good one’s skills were. Erratic thoughts would reveal deadly flaws.
Gray Monkey was not just a first-rate assassin for his skills. His wisdom also served him well.
“Skylar!”
Yulia, who was still in the car, heard the gunshot go off and was scared out of her wits.
It sounded as if it came from the direction that Skylar had left in.
The two elders who were present were even more heartbroken.
The young man in front of them was about to die a horrible death from his opponent’s gun to save
them!
