Chapter 119 - Assassins (2)
Soon, the voice of metal clashing could be heard.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
The two figures were moving across the quarter as they continued to exchange blows. There were several times when Nan Luo had to evade the assassin's attack because it was far above what he could receive.
'I have to find his weakness and fast…'
There were several assassins who came to take his life from time to time. The shadow guard allowed the assassins to come into his residence in order to allow him to practice. It was also his request to his grandfather.
He wouldn't be able to grow up if he didn't face the real threat.
Nan Family was not as peaceful as it looked like in the surface. Thus, he could only temper himself by having life and death's battle with the assassins who came. Of course, the shadow guards would only allow one assassin come to him each time.
They were not trying to kill their young master.
Bang!
Being pushed to the back once more, Nan Luo crashed heavily to the pillar. He felt his bones were broken as his strength left his body. Looking at the assassin in front of him, he gritted his teeth.
Was this the end for him?
Thud!
The assassin suddenly stopped moving and fell down to the ground with a thud.
Nan Luo was stunned but then he saw a small figure leapt down and walked to his side. Her steps looked as if she was walking yet she arrived by his side within a moment. "Hua'er."
"Don't speak." Nan Hua tugged Nan Luo up as she assessed his condition. Without hesitation, she carried him towards the bathroom and threw him to the bathtub. After that, she used the herbs that were already prepared.
"Shouldn't you treat me gentler, Hua'er?" Nan Luo was speechless.
Nan Hua looked at her twin brother. "Your wounds are internal wounds and you'll be fine soon."
"Fine…."
Nan Luo sighed as he soaked in the medicine bath. He still felt a bit weak and naturally couldn't do anything. His eyes were looking outside as he felt a bit annoyed. "Am I still not suitable to defeat that assassin?"
"You're too weak."
Nan Luo: "…" I don't need you to repeat that.
Swish!
"Young Master, the assassins this time come from three places. We have dealt with them." A man dressed in black clothes reported.
Nan Hua looked at the man and then she walked to the front. She pointed to the bandages. "Luo's hand."
The man was speechless.
He was not a doctor. But seeing Nan Hua walked out of the bathroom, he helped Nan Luo to take off his robe and then applied medicine and bandaged the boy's right hand. When he was fighting against the assassin just now, he didn't parry too well to one of the attack, resulting in his wrist got cut.
The cut itself was also quite big as it nearly reached the bone.
Thanks to the wound, he nearly couldn't fight properly and exert enough strength in his attack and block.
"Hua'er, what are you doing?" Nan Luo was stunned when he saw Nan Hua dragged the assassin who came to take his life into the bathroom. The assassin was now bound in both his hand and legs.
Nan Hua didn't pay any attention to her twin brother but to the assassin.
The assassin's attack just now was swifter and faster than the other assassins by quite a large distance. Judging by how the shadow guards failed to stop him in time as he rushed to Nan Luo had proven that the assassin was quite powerful.
She took out the needle that she pierced to the assassin from a distance just now. Back then, she had purposely made him unconscious because she wanted to ask some question to him.
"Splash water to him."
"With pleasure." The black clothed man smiled and took a bucket of water, splashing it to the assassin, who was unconscious.
*cough* *cough*
The assassin woke up with a start. He was stunned then he looked at group of people in front of him. It was then he realized that he had failed. He gritted his teeth harder, trying to kill himself.
"I have removed the poison near your teeth, you can't kill yourself." Nan Hua looked at the assassin calmly. "Where did you come from?"
The assassin stayed silent.
Nan Hua took her needle then slowly stabbed it to his toes. The excruciating pain immediately assaulted the assassin's body. Fingers were one of the most sensitive part of body aside from several others. The pain when these parts were harmed were bigger than other places.
"Ugh."
"You better answer." Nan Hua didn't even bother asking any other question and only played with the needles in her hand. Her movement was swift as she pierced several parts in his body that would give him the most pain.
Beads of sweat formed on the assassin's forehead.
"Hua'er seems very familiar with it." Nan Luo blinked his eyes. This was the first time he saw Nan Hua interrogating someone.
The black clothed man's lips twitched. He definitely would never tell the young master that the young miss had once interrogated a servant by using even crueler method. This was nothing to Nan Hua.
"Still not answering?" Nan Hua looked at the assassin in front of him. "So stubborn."
She had stabbed all of his toes. Her hand stretched forward as she rummaged his clothes, taking out several items that he carried with him. One of them was a small wood carving with the word 'Yue' written on it.
"Miss, it belongs to Dark Moon Organization," the black clothed man informed when he saw the item.
"Dark Moon Organization?" Nan Hua asked slowly. She was trying to find information about this organization before she came to realization that this was an organization that was actually very scattered.
They had advantageous position but they didn't have proper leader.
As the result, when Long Qian Xing came in the future, they were unable to hold on and ended up getting destroyed.
