Chapter 2: Unwelcome Shadows - The Resolve of the Forsaken Warrior
The inner fear had already surged, and now they had no will to fight against Ning Cheng.
"Block him, I'll go capture the little girl! She's the weak spot of this guy," Higgins suddenly realized and said to another person in a black robe.
The person in the black robe was delighted and said, "Okay! I'll stop him!"
"Bang!"
As soon as the words left his mouth, Ning Cheng appeared in front of him, the butterfly knife slicing across the throat of the black robe's mask, cutting a complete section through the silver mask.
Blood spurted out, and the black robe hadn't stopped Ning Cheng for a few seconds before his windpipe was so easily cut off.
"Whoever dares to touch her will die."
Ning Cheng slowly walked towards Higgins.
...
Three black-robed bodies lay scattered on the ground, already lifeless.
Ning Cheng lifted Higgins's mask, revealing the face of a Westerner, and searched but found no useful evidence on him.
He stumbled and sat down on the ground, with large beads of sweat falling from his face as if they were free.
In order to kill these three fifth-level black-robed people, he had forcibly activated his ability, which could only make his physical condition worse.
What is the concept of a fifth-level combat power? If you start from a first-level combat power, a first-level combat power is already more than two or three times that of an ordinary person, and some people who have been exercising for many years can barely reach the first level!
Fifth level is not as simple as that, it can be said to be a strength that grows exponentially!
A person with fifth-level combat power can easily punch a hole in a wall with one punch!
"Pssh."
A mouthful of blood was spat out, and Ning Cheng wiped the corner of his mouth. This injury was not caused by those black-robed people, but was the result of his own forced activation.
"I don't know when I can earn enough points to exchange for that thing, otherwise I'm afraid my body is beyond saving," Ning Cheng wiped away his bitter smile and said.
A month ago, Ning Cheng joined the Wolf Tooth, which was specially recommended by Fu Guo, the commander of the First Military Region, using the only quota of the First Military Region.
The people inside the Wolf Tooth disdained to associate with Ning Cheng, in their view, Ning Cheng was just a relative.
The only person who could talk to in the past month was Lao Zhong, the old big brother of the Wolf Tooth, who had reached the age of retirement. He always said that after retiring, he would take his precious daughter to the amusement park in Country M to play, and let her be a princess.
Unfortunately, his dream was forever stranded. He was assassinated and killed the day after he brought his daughter to Country M. Before dying, he only sent a message back to the Wolf Tooth: "Protect my daughter, she is innocent, please!"
As a newcomer, Ning Cheng originally had no right to take on this task.
However, he still recommended himself, and in the end, it was Fu Guo, the commander of the First Military Region, who spoke up again to fight for this opportunity for him!
...
He walked to Zhong Ling's side and carefully picked her up, then he took out his mobile phone and made a call.
"Ning Cheng, you little brat, you finally made a call to me!" A rough and magnetic voice came out of the phone.
"Old Fu, I found Zhong Ling, found in a welfare home."
"Good! How about the investigation of Lao Zhong's death?"
"It's not that simple, I want to send Zhong Ling back to the country first, it's not safe outside." Ning Cheng said.
"Okay, come to me first, I have something to tell you." Fu Guo said.
"Okay, I know." Ning Cheng said.
"Let's talk when you come back!"
"Okay."
Ning Cheng hung up the phone.
...
The next day.
Ning Cheng took Zhong Ling and bought the earliest flight back to Huaxia.
Inside the First Military Region of Kyoto, after settling Xiao Zhong Ling, Ning Cheng went straight into a combat room.
"Commander Fu, what's the rush?" Ning Cheng closed the door and asked a middle-aged man in front of him.
"There's no one here, you don't have to pretend." Old Fu stood up from the seat, although he was the commander of the military region, he didn't have many airs with Ning Cheng, after all, he saw Ning Cheng grow up.
To be precise, Fu Guo and Ning Cheng's father were comrades-in-arms and brothers in life and death!
"Hey, hey." Ning Cheng smiled and scratched his head, saying, "Old Fu, don't go around with me, just tell me what's going on." Ning Cheng sat on the chair and propped up his legs.
Old Fu gave Ning Cheng a cigarette and lit one for himself, saying, "You should know that your performance in the Wolf Tooth assessment was not very good, barely passing, it might be a bit dangerous."
"You mean, I might be kicked out of the Wolf Tooth?" Ning Cheng exhaled a ring of smoke and asked concisely.
"Yes." Old Fu nodded and said, "I'll let you know first, so you must always be careful."
"We'll see." Ning Cheng said.
"I promised your father to take good care of you!" Old Fu said.
"Old Fu, you're really nagging." Ning Cheng put out the cigarette and said, "When the soldiers come, the general will block, when the water comes, the earth will cover."
After chatting a few more words, Ning Cheng left the military region with Zhong Ling. He didn't rush back to the Wolf Tooth, but first took Zhong Ling to a Siheyuan in Kyoto, which was the last memory left by Ning Cheng's father.
In the Kyoto where land is very expensive, having such an old and warm Siheyuan can be considered a small local tyrant.
"Little girl, you will live here from now on!" Ning Cheng pushed open the door and said.
"Wow! So beautiful!" Little Zhong Ling ran in and began to look around in the courtyard.
"Boss, you're back!" As soon as the two entered the Siheyuan, a young man, about twenty years old, with black hair, blue eyes, and a striking lightning mark on his neck, ran out of the middle room.
"Hmm, I'm back." Ning Cheng said.
"How is it, did you pass the Wolf Tooth assessment?" The young man asked.
"Hmm!" Ning Cheng nodded, then said, "Xiao Dong, your task from now on is to protect this little girl."
"But my task is to protect you, isn't it?" Xiao Dong scratched his head and said.
"Do I still need your protection?" Ning Cheng glared at Xiao Dong and said, "I'm going back to the Wolf Tooth, during this period, you must protect Xiao Zhong Ling no matter what!"
"What is this little girl to you?" Xiao Dong asked.
"My sister." Ning Cheng replied seriously.
"I understand!" Xiao Dong immediately nodded and said, "Unless I'm dead, otherwise I won't let the boss's sister be hurt!"
