“Shadow Killer?”

Looking at the dead Thomas who was lying on the ground with grievance in his eyes, Fang Qiu heaved a sigh of relief. He recalled what Thomas had said in the battle.

It was said that Shadow Killer was a kind of metahuman who could combine witchcraft with killing skills.

This kind of metahuman was very rare.

Even on the World Killer List, there were only two such metahumans, one of whom had disappeared for a hundred years and possibly had died, and the other one was Thomas, who was ranked second on the list.

Fang Qiu murmured, “They were really going all out since they even hired the killer ranked second on the list to kill me.”

At the same time, many people who had conflicts with him immediately emerged in his mind. First of all, it couldn’t be people from Wulin of Huaxia who hired Thomas. The people in Wulin now would never hire killers to settle a grudge, and even if they wanted to, they couldn’t afford it.

An ordinary person could not afford to hire a killer ranked second on the World Killer List.

Judging by this, Fang Qiu quickly excluded a lot of people.

He thought about it carefully.

There seemed to be only one person who could afford to hire a killer and would not give up until he killed him.

This person was Ruan Shiben, the general of Southern Yue.

As he thought of this, Fang Qiu couldn’t help shaking his head.

It was reasonable that Ruan Shiben wanted to kill Fang Qiu since the latter had killed his son, Ruan Changhong. No matter how evil Ruan Changhong was, Ruan Shiben would take revenge for him.

In Fang Qiu’s opinion, Ruan Changhong dared to do what he had done, including mobilizing the military fighter jets, just because he had his father’s support.

Therefore, Fang Qiu didn’t feel sorry for Ruan Shiben at all. Instead, he felt that this person really deserved to die since he had sent fighter jets to invade Huaxia and attacked Huaxia people.

As the general of Huaxia’s neighboring country, he turned a blind eye to this and challenged the majesty of Huaxia. If Huaxia’s higher-ups allowed it, this person would have been killed a hundred times.

However, Ruan Shiben was a general and Fang Qiu had no time to go to Southern Yue in the near future, so he could only leave this matter alone now.

He squatted down, reached out his hand, and fumbled around Thomas’ body. After finding the two three-edged military knives, he left quickly.

After all, the three-edged military knife was a typical military knife from Huaxia. If he didn’t take the knives away, it might arouse suspicion after people found them. So Fang Qiu directly took them away and burned them with his internal Qi.

Soon, the sky was turning bright.

The morning sun slowly rose.

“Rumble…”

Less than an hour after Fang Qiu left, the roar of the engine came from a distance.

A few off-road vehicles full of people whistled over. On the doors of those off-road vehicles, there was a very unique symbol.

It was a white circle, within which was the word “Truth”.

Anyone in Zhongdong who saw this symbol could tell that those people were from the Truth Division.

The off-road vehicles stopped about twenty meters away from where Thomas was killed. Those people jumped down from the vehicles, lining up into a human wall as they began to search the place.

In the blink of an eye, they found Thomas’ corpse.

They quickly gather around him.

“Who is this person?”

“Is this the person that Divine Envoy mentioned?”

“He’s the one who stole something from Divine Envoy?”

“Don’t touch him. Let’s take some photos first and send them back to headquarters immediately to confirm with Divine Envoy.”

“This person died so strangely.”

“It seems that someone pierced through his chest with a knife, but the blade is so thin that I can’t see where the wound is.”

While talking, they hurriedly took photos and contacted the headquarters.

“Divine Envoy, is this person the one you mentioned?”

In an incomparably luxurious hall at the headquarters of the Truth Division, a middle-aged man turned on the huge TV, played the photos he had just received on the TV, and asked the fat man who was sitting on a cushion in the center of the hall and resting with his eyes closed.

“It’s not him.”

The fat man opened his eyes and said, “But just like this man, he is a wizard from Murica.”

“Sir, I have something to report!” A voice rang out.

“What’s the matter?” asked the middle-aged man.

“We have found out the dead man’s identity. He is named Thomas, a Shadow Killer who was ranked second on the World Killer List,” the person outside the door replied.

“I see. You may leave.” The middle-aged man nodded.

The fat man’s face changed when he heard the report.

“A killer who was ranked second on the World Killer List?”

Looking at the photo of the dead man on the TV, the fat man narrowed his eyes and his face became extremely grave.

Not long after the Truth Division found out Thomas’ identity, the photo of Thomas’ corpse was uploaded to the forum of the underground forces.

“Breaking News! Thomas, the Shadow Killer Who Was Ranked Second on the World Killer List, Has Been Killed!”

As soon as the post appeared, it immediately attracted the attention of all the people on the forum.

“What the f*ck!”

“No way. Thomas is dead?”

“Is this Thomas the one who was ranked second on the World Killer List?”

“Are you sure it’s Thomas?”

“Oh my god, Thomas’ name has become grey on the World Killer List. Is he really dead?”

“Who killed him? Who had the ability to kill him?”

The entire forum was overwhelmed by the news.

But right at this moment, another post appeared.

“An Analysis of Thomas’ Death!”

This post analyzed Thomas’ death based on the photo of Thomas’ corpse and the situation in Zhongdong.

“First of all, it has been confirmed that Thomas died of a wound that extended through his chest, which means that the person who killed him used a very sharp weapon and almost killed him in one blow.

“There’s only one person on the Killer List who can do this. This person is Lingyin.

“But Lingyin is not in Zhongdong, so it can’t be him.

“Then, among the known Zhongdong experts, how many of them can do this?

“According to statistics, none of them can!

“Now, in Zhongdong, except for the experts from Zhongdong, there are the special envoys of the five countries, and among them, the strongest one is John Doe from Huaxia. The other four envoys are no match for Thomas.

“Last, from the surrounding terrain of the place where the photo was taken, there are many cuts on the ground, and the surrounding trees and rocks all have been cut into two halves. Moreover, the cuts are very smooth.

“Only the sword moves from Huaxia could do that!

“According to the news from Wulin in Huaxia, John Doe is good at using swords.

“So, my final conclusion is that Thomas was possibly killed by John Doe from Huaxia!”

This post was logical and reasonable, making it impossible for people to refute it.

After reading it, some people believed that it was true.

It was true that only John Doe could kill Thomas so swiftly.

All the underground forces in the world were shocked after learning this.

“So it’s John Doe again?”

“It’s so terrifying. The mysterious Huaxia is still so powerful!”

“John Doe is so strong. He even managed to kill the killer who was ranked second on the World Killer List.”

“I heard that Lingyin, who is ranked first on the list, is also from Huaxia. Is this mysterious Huaxia really so powerful?”

“The code name X should be abandoned, and we should remember him as John Doe!”

“It’s horrible. John Doe has shocked the world with each thing he did!”

The underground forces all over the world had the same thought at the moment—they should never mess with John Doe, who was even more terrifying than the Death.

Thomas’ being ranked second on the World Killer List meant that he could destroy a big and even top force easily.

However, John Doe was able to kill him so easily, which meant that a top force seemed to be nothing in John Doe’s eyes.

It was obvious what would happen if they provoked John Doe!

Besides the underground forces, everyone in the killer circle was shocked by the news.

They still remembered that Jin Shihai, who was ranked third on the World Killer List, was killed by John Doe.

Now, even Thomas was killed by him as well.

“John Doe has killed Thomas and Jin Shihai in succession.”

“He hasn’t yet killed the person who is ranked first on the list.”

“Forget about Jin Shihai. Thomas was really strong. After all, he was a rare Shadow Killer. Now, he was killed by John Doe. It seems that Lingyin, who is ranked first on the list, would probably be in danger.”

“Do you think Lingyin is afraid of John Doe? Humph, in Lingyin’s eyes, Thomas is just a piece of trash. Lingyin never bothers to compete with others, yet, he is still ranked first on the list. If he starts to take it seriously, he could surpass Thomas greatly.”

“Lingyin and John Doe are both from Huaxia. Will they fight each other?”

“That’s hard to say.”

“I don’t know if John Doe would challenge Lingyin or Lingyin would challenge John Doe.”

“It’s a pity that John Doe is not a killer. Otherwise, he could compete with Lingyin for the first place on the World Killer List.”

Ruan Shiben had been following the news on the forum of the underground forces since he hired Thomas.

When he saw the news of Thomas’ death on the forum, he was immediately shocked!

“How could this even be possible!

“He’s actually dead?”

Ruan Shiben roared in disbelief, and then quickly took out his mobile phone. He immediately called the leader of an underground force that could be considered large worldwide.

“Help me contact Lingyin, the killer who is ranked first on the Killer List,” Ruan Shiben said after he got through.

“No problem.”

The leader hung up the phone with a smile.

Soon, Ruan Shiben’s phone rang.

“I’ve contacted him. You can talk to him yourself.”

Ruan Shiben picked up the phone. The leader said a few words and left. Then, a somewhat indifferent voice came from the phone, “When, where, and who to kill? How much money I can get?”

“There is no specific time, and you need to kill John Doe, who is in Zhongdong. You can get a billion dollars, and even more, if it’s not enough,” Ruan Shiben answered at once.

“I can’t accept this mission,” the indifferent voice replied without telling the reason why he refused. Then, the person ended the conversation.

“The conversation is over. Remember, you owe me a favor.” The leader hung up the phone laughing.

Ruan Shiben’s hand that was holding the phone began to tremble slightly.

He suddenly felt a little scared.

Before this, he had never thought that John Doe could be so powerful.

Now, he only hoped that John Doe didn’t know that he was the one who hired Thomas!

Unfortunately, his hope was shattered.

Not long after he hung up the phone, a piece of news appeared on the forum of the underground forces.

“Breaking News! Thomas Targeted John Doe and Tried to Kill Him Just Because He Accepted a Mission from Ruan Shiben, the General of Southern Yue with Commission Reaching a Billion Dollars!”
