Chapter 54

Sean walked inside the restroom and walked towards the urinal where he could pee, however just as he was going towards it, he gave a look at the third cubicle and passed it before coming to the urinal and started to act like he was peeing.

The door of the third cubicle opened slightly and a figure could be seen watching Sean intently, ready to attack him. Sean who had his back turned giants his attacker had a feral grin on his face and said "Hey motherfucker!! how long are you going to stare at me like that? Don't tell me that you are a pervert."

Sean turned around and stood in a relaxed manner, however he was watching his enemy's every movement, ready to attack him at any moment. The attacker was shocked that his presence was found out this easily by a kid who was at level 3 rank but quickly recovered as he was an elite assassin and took out his knife and without giving any reply to Sean, went forward to attack him.

Within a second the assassin was already at the range to strike at Sean and swiped the knife towards his neck however just as the knife was about to reach Sean's neck he caught the forearm of the assassin using his left hand and took hold of his head by his hair and smashed it on the edge of the granite which divided the two urinals. The assassin's face was smashed against the edge of granite, opening a cut on the temple of the assassin. Blood seeped from his face however without any care for it the assassin kicked at Sean to get him away from him and threw at him three needle like objects. Sean who got kicked in his chest felt great pain and blood seeped from the corner of the mouth however before he could retaliate he saw three needles flying towards him.

Sean reacted quickly and ducked before going inside an open cubicle and closed the door. The assassin broke the door to attack Sean only to find the cubicle empty. Sean had taken the opportunity of the assassin breaking the door to jump over to the next cubicle but not before leaving a souvenir for the assassin. The assassin saw a strange object on top of the water tank of the toilet and it flashed with a bang instantly leaving the assassin blind for a few moments. Yes, Sean had left a flash bang on top of the water tank. Sean did not let go of this opportunity and moved quickly to the next cubicle and used the top part of the door hinge of the cubicle to hold his hands and sent a flying kick towards the now blind assassin. The assassin almost flew for a few steps and bashed on the toilet and the water tank breaking both at the same time. Water slowly started to spray from the tank and wetting the restroom tiles.

Sean did not have a leeway to take a breather and continued his attack by throwing a sharp punch on the assassin's face spraying the blood across the wall of the cubicle. The assassin desperately tried to block his face in order to avoid getting knocked out. Sean did not have a lot of time left before the assassin regains his eye sight and did not hesitate to take out his knife and stabbed on the foot of the assassin, exactly on a nerve point which he had learned from his training sessions in the system, effectively paralysing the assassin. The assassin could not hold the pain and was about to scream but Sean choked his neck making him unable to make any noise.

'I was lucky that they had sent a level 6 warrior to assassinate me. Otherwise it would have been me who would be lying down on the floor covered in blood' thought Sean. He could have killed him at the very beginning by using his gun, but this was the central part of the city and he could not use his guns as there was a possibility that there would be bullet fragments found or any stray bullet lodged in the wall. The massacre Sean had committed must have given the city enforcers a clue on the uniqueness of his weapon and could be matched with him if new clues were to be found. Sean could not even begin to think the consequences he would have to face if he got caught as the suspect of a massacre. Hence the assault rifle was a no go and the handgun was pretty much useless against any warrior over level 5 because of its lack in speed. The warriors could dodge the bullets from a handgun with ease.

The gene enhancement to level 4 in strength helped him in fighting the level 6 warrior in a close combat and even then he was badly injured. The internal injury from that kick was heavy and just as Sean had difficulty in breathing, his chest started to itch and the pain started to reduce. The regeneration gene serum had finally shown its prowess as despite it being the Basic Healing it could heal any injury whether internal or external barring life threatening injuries or regeneration of any body part.

'Well the basic healing is indeed incredible. No wonder it cost me so much money' thought Sean as he was relieved that his pain and injury was healing at a fast pace, otherwise he would no longer be able to take part in tomorrow's mission. Thinking this Sean was even more pissed at this assassin as he had almost taken away one of those important opportunities in his life and potentially life altering at this stage of his life, that is to protect and escort the future Queen of Arcadia kingdom as getting the the favour of the Queen could get him a solid background and resources enough to bolster his strength and get an advantage at the earlier stage of his training as a warrior.

Sean planned on torturing this assassin to obtain any information regarding the attack they had planned against Cornelia and her forces, however before he could sound of door opening could be heard and Sean knew that someone had entered the restroom. This sudden change made him release the guy's neck and the assassin took this opportunity to break the capsule hidden inside his teeth and committed suicide. The assassin did not have a way out as his leg was paralysed by Sean and it was better to commit suicide rather than getting tortured.

Sean had already expected this when he released his grip and did not care about the death of the assassin and quickly set the broken door in place but could not do anything about the water which was flowing from the water tank above the toilet. Footsteps could be heard by Sean from the other side of the cubicle. Sean had long moved to the first cubicle and waited patiently to see what happens. The footsteps passed the first cubicle and soon stopped near the second cubicle, where the water had ended. Sean had climbed on top of the toilet seat to avoid showing that he was there in the cubicle.

"J7 how is the situation?" asked a voice from the other side of cubicle.

'J7?' thought Sean and knew that this man was one of the assassins who had disguised themselves as the waiter. 'This man is not the waiter who served us food. In other words this is the other guy whom the waiter who served their table was signalling or an entirely new guy who had infiltrated the restaurant.

Sean knew that if there was no answer from any of the cubicle then the assassin would be alert and also knew that this guy had been watching the restroom and probably not allowing anyone else inside the restroom and had even gone as far as putting 'out of order' sign, still did not reply and waited for the guy to enter the cubicle and finding his colleague.

Without recieving any reply the assassin became alert and used force to break open the door to the second cubicle and saw the cubicle empty and proceeded to open the third cubicle only for the door to come apart and found the body of his colleague. The assassin was extremely alert as he knew that the target should still be within the restroom. The assassin proceeded to force open the first cubicle as this was the only cubicle that he didn't check, however just as he forced the door to open, he faced the full brunt of mettalic balls spraying from a shot gun, instantly tearing his upper body leaving him riddled with wounds. Despite he had just shot a shotgun due to using a silencer there was no sound from it.

Just as Sean thought that he had killed the assassin, the bloodied assassin sprang on Sean with great will power and head butted his face instantly bloodying his face. Sean's hands were held tightly by the assassin making his back hit the water tank and breaking it drenching the floor of the toilet yet again and his hand banged against the wall making the shotgun fall from his hand.

Sean desperately tried to pull his hands away from assassin's grip but the assassin also held his grip tightly with grit despite his bloodied appearance and proceeded to bash his forehead against Sean's face again and again making his head become groggy and consciousness fading slowly.
