Facing Yun Hao and Star's desperate counterattack, seeing that their companions who came together were now only six left, these six had even lost their fighting spirit in an instant!

A cornered beast fighting against the loss of will, this was the real portrayal of Yun Hao and the six of them at this moment!

In the end, when Yun Hao took down the two men in black in front of him, Star also took down three of the four remaining enemies. Just as he was about to finish off the last one, unexpectedly, that guy had no sense of honor and turned to flee!

If it were at any other time when either of the two was in better condition, that person would have had no chance to escape, but now he blatantly ran away!

"I killed thirty-seven!" Yun Hao sat heavily on the ground, with the enemy's blood already dried on his face, and when he grinned, it appeared somewhat fierce!

"If that guy hadn't run, I would have killed thirty-seven too!" Just like Yun Hao, Star sat weakly on the ground, not caring that the ground was already stained red with blood, and feebly pointed in the direction that the person ran away.

"I killed thirty-seven!" Yun Hao extended his right hand, curling all his other fingers, leaving only his index finger out, saying lightly.

Yun Hao's meaning was clear, don't say those useless words, young master killed thirty-seven, one more than you!

Star understood right away, although he wanted to say again if that person hadn't run, he would also have killed thirty-seven. But the result was clear as day; he indeed killed one less than Yun Hao!

Although the two hadn't agreed on competing over how many enemies to kill, from the moment they started, they were secretly comparing, and neither wanted to kill one less than the other!

"Tch, I wasn't competing with you; one more kill is just one more kill. When I recover, I'll settle it with you directly!" Star eventually chose to play rogue, since it was just him and Yun Hao left, even if he played rogue, no third party would know!

"Trash, can't handle losing trash!" Yun Hao retorted righteously!

"You're the trash!" Star retorted without backing down!

However, at this moment, a rustling sound came from afar, as if someone was walking on dead grass, and by the sound of it, there were definitely more than a few people!

In such dangerous times, both were already at the end of their strength; if another group of enemies came, both would be doomed!

So, Yun Hao and Star exchanged a glance, stood up in unison, mustering the last bit of strength, and ran for their lives!

The two were also very in sync, decisively splitting up. They were betting that these people's target wasn't themselves but the other. In that way, they could perhaps escape!

And if they didn't split up, no matter who the target of this group was, both would end up dead, as the opponent would kill to silence them, not to mention they were formidable fighters!

Yun Hao wasn't sure how far he had run; he just kept heading towards the city, not believing these people would be brazen enough to chase into the city to kill him!

After running for a long time, Yun Hao finally saw the bustling lights of Nanjiang City. Only after seeing that there were no pursuers when he looked back, did he stumble into a dark corner!

"Hey, it's me, come pick me up, I was nearly assassinated!" Yun Hao leaned weakly against the wall after hanging up the call, trying hard to recall what had just happened!

Logically, the location where he and Star were fighting wouldn't be known to many, only Tang Rou knew on his side, but he trusted Tang Rou wouldn't betray him!

And as for Star's side, even less would know, because Star always liked to work alone. Although they bantered during the fight, Star was usually as proud as they come, not allowing just anyone to even serve as his follower!

Since both sides were ruled out, the answer seemed obvious!

The employer!

The one who paid Cyan Dragon to assassinate Yun Hao!

Because Star had a habit of sending the coordinates to the employer before taking down the target, letting them confirm the result themselves!

So, that large group of men in black must be the same people who hired Star, and it seems their purpose is twofold: one is to double-cross, taking down Yun Hao and also finishing off Star, thus avoiding paying the rest of the money!

Although respect for strength governs the underworld, few would act this way as it costs them credibility and could even invite attacks from others!

If it's not for double-crossing, then the only thing left is the other reason: when hiring Star to assassinate Yun Hao, they had already set a trap to catch both Yun Hao and Star in one go!

If that's indeed the case, it's proof of their great ambition, and that kind of ambition must be backed by powerful support!

Soon, a black car approached Yun Hao's location. After it stopped, a stylish lady in a black trench coat emerged—it was Annie!

"Yun Hao, get in the car!" After coming to Yun Hao's side and seeing him covered in blood, with his pretty face smeared, Annie worryingly helped Yun Hao up and headed to the car!

Once the car started, Annie floored the gas, speeding towards her place!

Yes, the call was to Annie!

With his injuries this severe, Yun Hao wouldn't let Chu Yan and Zhao Shishi see him; it would only worry them to death, and Ying'Er's place must be a mess now with more than enough to handle, plus she's not in Nanjiang City!

That leaves Tang Rou, and it's not that he doesn't trust her, but this matter must stay unknown to her. If those from Cyan Dragon caught wind and either came or secretly tipped off Yun Hao's enemies, Yun Hao would be captured without a doubt!

So, in the end, the person who's dependable, calming, and would help tend to his injuries and shelter him was only Annie!

After getting to Annie's place, Yun Hao collapsed on the couch, letting Annie undress him, clean his wound, apply medicine, and bandage the wound!
