C2935 Kill the Killer(6)
"Huahua, Huahua..."
The young woman's cries caused Faang Cheng to avert his gaze from the middle-aged assassin's face. He turned his head to look at the young woman, who had already been surrounded by passers-by and was trying to calm her down.
"Principal Fang, I don't ask for anything else. I only ask for... a way out."
The middle-aged assassin retracted his gaze from the young mother and turned to look at Faang Cheng. He was still holding the little girl in his arms, his hand still on the child's neck. There were already red marks on the little girl's white and tender neck, which was very eye-catching.
"If I take you back, you might not die. Why do you do this?"
Faang Cheng looked at the middle-aged assassin indifferently. The emotions in his eyes were something that the middle-aged assassin could not fathom. The siren in his heart had always been ringing. Now that he saw Faang Cheng's expressionless face, the siren sounded even more urgently. In spite of himself, he pressed harder, and the little girl's cries grew louder, until her voice was hoarse.
"Then I can only blame myself for loving freedom and being unable to accept the pain of being imprisoned."
The middle-aged assassin shook his head.
"Dean Fang, I didn't do any harm to you. Can't you just turn a blind eye to it and let me leave this place and find a place to live in seclusion? I promise that I will never appear in front of you again."
The middle-aged assassin thought he was right.
"Physical damage? Humph..."
When Faang Cheng heard the middle-aged assassin's words, he could not help but sneer.
"It's because you spent so much time and Spirit Power to make such a big scene without causing any substantive damage that I care so much. Otherwise, do you really think that I'm chasing after you so relentlessly because you threw two or three harmless bombs at our Spirit Cultivation Academy?"
Faang Cheng narrowed his eyes as he stared at the middle-aged assassin in front of him. His calm expression slowly turned into one of unease.
"You... What do you mean by that?"
The middle-aged assassin asked with a frown.
"Am I wrong? You and that young boy have spent so much effort and guarded the outside of the Spirit Cultivation Academy for so long, but in the end, you didn't do any actual damage to our academy. At first, you looked like you wouldn't give up until you caught up to the Young Master who escaped to our academy, but in the blink of an eye, you abandoned your companions and ran away. I would like to ask you whether you have now completed the task assigned to you by the young master behind you. Are you in a hurry to run away?"
Faang Cheng was not in a hurry at all. Instead, he just stood there without moving. With his arms crossed, he raised his long and narrow eyes and stared at the middle-aged assassin in front of him. He seemed to have no feelings for the little girl, Huahua, who had been crying all this time.
"I - I know I haven't finished my task, and I can't do it under the circumstances, but of course I must get out of here before it's too late. After all, nobody is more important than my own life! In this situation, there is no such thing as a young lord or a mission. I have to escape!"
The middle-aged assassin shook his head to show his regret for not completing the mission.
"Oh? I don't see you running away, but I seem to see something of the happiness you feel, as if you've accomplished a mission, come out of it in one piece, and are looking forward to a happy, secluded life in another city with a large settlement."
Faang Cheng continued to stare at the middle-aged assassin's expression and expressed his thoughts.
The muscles on the assassin's face suddenly stiffened. It was obvious that Faang Cheng's words made him feel extremely uncomfortable. Thus, he tightened his muscles and sent the girl in his arms towards Faang Cheng.
"Principal Fang, let's not talk so much nonsense. Let me go, and when I am thirty miles away, I will put the child somewhere you will find him. Then we will go our separate ways. Otherwise... "
The middle-aged assassin showed killing intent on his face.
"Oh? Or else what?"
Faang Cheng asked even though he already knew the answer, causing the middle-aged assassin to be somewhat flustered.
"Otherwise, I will kill her!"
His tone was fierce as he spoke loudly. Then, he tightened his grip on the little girl. The little girl's cries, which had already weakened, became louder.
The little girl's mother was worried too. She wanted to cry and step forward, but she didn't dare to. She was afraid that the assassin would kill her daughter.
"You... Calm down. Don't hurt my flower..."
She begged while crying.
"You are not asking for me. You are asking for him."
The middle-aged assassin said to the little girl's mother. Then, he pointed his chin in Faang Cheng's direction.
"Right now, only he can decide the life and death of your daughter."
The little girl's mother seemed to have suddenly come back to her senses as she turned around and kneeled in front of Faang Cheng, crying her heart out.
"Young Master Fang, I beg you, please save my daughter! I know you have a Bodhisattva-like heart. I beg you, please save my daughter. She's only four years old... "
The young woman cried and the onlookers tried to persuade her, but no one could understand the pain of losing her daughter. She insisted on kneeling in front of Faang Cheng, refusing to get up no matter how much others tried to persuade her.
Faang Cheng looked at the young woman in front of him for a while, but his expression did not change much.
"I don't save people all the time. I'm a stubborn man, and if this is the man I have to catch, then I'm not going to let him go for any other reason, even if... he's got some people as hostages."
Faang Cheng's tone was so cold that the middle-aged assassin and the little girl's mother were shocked when they heard it.
"What?"
The middle-aged assassin was taken aback, but the young girl's mother was not so calm. She immediately crawled over to Faang Cheng and grabbed his pants.
"Young Master Fang, I beg you, please save Huahua, please save my Huahua..."
There was a moment of chaos as the passersby tried to calm the young woman down. However, the young woman refused to let go of Faang Cheng's hand, causing him to stare blankly at the scene in front of him.
