Wang Qiang and the others, who had walked seven or eight meters away, glanced at each other upon realizing that Xiao Feng hadn't followed, and turned back.

"What's wrong, Brother Feng?" Wang Qiang asked inquiringly.

Xiao Feng snapped back to reality, shook his head without answering, and just glanced at the time: "Let's go, it's time to start the operation."

...

Half an hour after Xiao Feng and the others left the abandoned building, in Shen Tianze's villa, the butler knocked on the door and entered the hall: "Young master, the people have arrived."

"Quickly invite them in." Shen Tianze said somewhat excitedly.

"Yes!" The butler replied, but as he was halfway through closing the door, he couldn't help but say, "Young master, not to be nosey, but is it worth spending so much just to deal with that Xiao Feng?"

Shen Tianze's eyebrows shot up, and he glared and shouted, "As long as I can kill him, even if I bet all the family assets I've saved up over the years, it's worth it. A mere billion, if it's gone, I can just make it back!"

It must be said, Shen Tianze was also in a hurry this time. After a sudden raid by Xiao Feng, the clubs under the Shen Group lost nearly half of their clientele, with Wolf Howl and Imperial Capital, their main profit earners, forced to close and reorganize.

These losses, even if they aren't fatal to the Shen Group, cannot be ignored.

Hence, Shen Tianze spared no expense, offering a staggering billion RMB bounty to hire the internationally renowned assassin organization "Blood Nightmare."

There is a legendary story about this organization.

It is said that whenever Blood Nightmare encounters child traffickers, you only need to pay a penny to get them to act, and those who fall into their hands often meet a miserable end.

However, this doesn't seem to improve Blood Nightmare's reputation, because after all, it is still an assassin organization, doomed to be tainted with crime, and many people secretly scorn it for being hypocritical.

But no matter what, one undeniable fact is that Blood Nightmare's capabilities are still among the top in the industry.

Soon, two people, one in front and one in back, walked in under the butler's guidance.

Leading the way was a little girl about 1.2 meters tall, with rosy lips and white teeth, under curved eyebrows were a pair of bright big eyes with long lashes, and one could instantly tell she was a beauty in the making.

Behind her was a stunning woman with wavy hair. Although not particularly tall, her proportions were well-balanced, and a tear mole on her melon seed face was particularly striking, giving her an unusual beauty, with a bronze ring on her left middle finger.

If Xiao Feng were present, he would immediately recognize these two as the old woman and little girl he had encountered in the restaurant earlier.

Although their appearances were more than ninety percent different from before, some things cannot be changed, such as their eyes, and the bronze ring on the woman's hand…

"Please have a seat, I believe you've met the target. How do you evaluate him?" Shen Tianze asked with a warm smile as he had the butler make tea: "How confident are you?"

The two women, one large and one small, had no intention of sitting down. The little girl replied expressionlessly: "To me, the target is just a somewhat capable brute, only his actions are rather unexpected. As for confidence..."

Here, the little girl flashed a confident smile: "One hundred percent."

"That's good!" Shen Tianze nodded in satisfaction: "Fifty percent of the deposit has been transferred to your designated account. The remaining five billion will be paid once you complete the commission."

The little girl and the woman exchanged a smile, and the former looked at Shen Tianze: "Pleasure working with you!"

With that, the two of them walked towards the door, not bothering to say goodbye, and the butler hadn't even served the tea before the guests left.

Returning to their base in Jiangcheng, the little girl stood barefoot on the hotel balcony, gazing into the distant night sky, lost in thought.

"Blood Nightmare, I feel there's something off about this mission." The woman approached, holding a jacket to drape over her.

Blood Nightmare did not turn around: "Dream Shade, we only need to complete the mission; the rest is not within our scope of concern, isn't that what you taught me?"

Dream Shade furrowed her brow slightly: "What I mean by 'off' is the target. For some reason, I always feel like he seems not as simple as he appears."

From their names, it's not hard to tell that these two are sisters, Blood Nightmare and Dream Shade, combine to form Blood Nightmare.

"Are you saying he can kick a shovel in half?" Blood Nightmare chuckled dismissively: "You know, half of our people can do that."

"But what if the target is deliberately holding back?" Dream Shade worriedly said: "If that's the case, we might misestimate the target's capabilities and be easily misled."

Blood Nightmare turned around, revealing a slightly playful smile: "I remember you're not such an indecisive person. Why so hesitant this time?"

Dream Shade shook her head: "I don't know, maybe this mission is not like the previous ones. Be careful, since the employer is willing to spend a billion as a reward, it means the target is not that easy to kill."

"Alright, I got it." Blood Nightmare replied somewhat impatiently.

"After this mission is completed, we'll have almost enough money, and once we get the antidote, you can be like a normal person." Dream Shade said excitedly: "I asked the experts over in Europe, and non-hereditary dwarfism can be cured with medication."

But Blood Nightmare seemed not pleased, her expression remained calm, and after a long time, she spoke: "If this time still fails, let's give up."

"Nonsense!" Dream Shade angrily replied: "As long as I'm alive, I'll never give up on you because you're my sister! Never mention the word 'give up' in front of me again."

Blood Nightmare gave a somewhat tired smile: "I was just saying..."

"That's still not okay!" Dream Shade said resolutely: "I will have someone prepare the plan, you just execute it well, don't worry about anything else."

In fact, Blood Nightmare, who looked no more than ten years old, was already seventeen this year, with her next birthday being her coming of age ceremony.

She had suffered from non-hereditary dwarfism since young, with her height permanently stuck at about 1.2 meters. For this, the sisters had sacrificed countless efforts, and the financial cost was immeasurable, yet they had seen no improvement.

Blood Nightmare looked up at the sky. The night was as deep as ink, seemingly never to be dispelled.

She murmured, "Without me, wouldn't sister live less burdened?"

As the leader of an assassin organization, Blood Nightmare shouldn't have such a fragile side, but only Blood Nightmare herself knew she was never as strong as she seemed.

If Dream Shade were present and heard Blood Nightmare utter the word "sister," she would probably burst into tears immediately.

Because ever since entering the assassin industry, Blood Nightmare never called Dream Shade "sister" again, only addressing each other by their code names, as if from that moment their given names were forever erased from the world.
