Chapter 841 Uninvited
The assassin obviously did not expect that he would miss, and he had been planning for so long. Fortunately, he was not one of those newbies, and knew that now was not the time to show off. Although Marcus, who was traveling with Zhang Heng, was I don’t know where I was squeezed.
But Zhang Heng's status as the champion of the Flavi Amphitheater alone made the assassin know that he had no chance of winning in a head-on battle, so he did not hesitate and immediately turned around and ran away after missing a hit.
He was quite confident in his stealth ability. Almost every assassin worked hard on stealth, not only to approach the target quietly, but also to deal with the current situation.
Moreover, the assassin was still creating more chaos in the crowd while running, pushing this one or kicking that one from time to time. He picked the kind of guys who seemed to have a bad temper. The anger rose immediately as soon as it was stimulated, but the assassins' tricks were very secretive. They could not find the initiator and had to spread their anger on the people around them. Soon there were many people fighting with each other in the crowd, and the scene became even more complicated. Confused.
The assassin turned his head and glanced, and found that Zhang Heng did not catch up, but just stood there and looked at him quietly, which made him slightly relieved.
However, he did not relax his vigilance and stop. After getting away from the crowd, he plunged into the nearby alleys and passed through four alleys in one go. Then he slowed down slightly, and then he quickly changed his suit. Clothes, walked out of the alley, pretending to be a customer choosing in front of a stall, while paying attention to the movement around him, and only stood up after confirming that there were no suspicious people around.
However, what he didn't notice was that on the roof on the other side, there was a pair of eyes looking at him.
Zhang Heng was not in a hurry to take action, because the guy below was obviously just a hired professional assassin, and his knowledge was limited. But to be fair, his level was pretty good, and he was probably considered top-notch among the assassins.
In terms of the assassin's skills alone, he is even more powerful than the current Zhang Heng. Of course, the potential of the two is not comparable. Zhang Heng's master is an old Persian trainer and one of the top assassins in the world. Zhang Heng just doesn't have it yet. He has completely digested and mastered what Dadatis gave him, but his advantage is not only the assassin's skills, but also he has the [Heart of Cleis], which is quite good when tracking. It makes almost no noise.
Zhang Heng just hung behind the assassin all the way, wanting to see who he would come into contact with next.
The other party had been preparing for such a long time but failed in the end. Obviously, he needed to give his employer an explanation.
As a result, Zhang Heng saw the assassin walking into a laundry. Zhang Heng knew that the place belonged to a small force. The other party also joined the anti-patrol alliance, and was a relatively radical group, always advocating the use of violence. Means to curb the development of patrols.
However, Zhang Heng did not do anything when he saw this. After that, he waited for about a quarter of an hour before the assassin came out. Moreover, it was the boss of the small force who personally sent him out. Zhang Heng waited until the target had gone for a considerable distance. Followed again from a distance.
If it were anyone else, they might have been deceived by what they did and thought that the mastermind behind the assassination was the boss of the laundry. But Zhang Heng could be considered half of his colleagues, having learned about the Roman city from the old Persian trainer. The working mode of an assassin.
Except for those who are not popular, most assassins will have a liaison, who will help them attract business, negotiate with the employer, and agree on the price. The liaison will then tell the assassins under his command about the target. After completing the task, The liaison person can take a portion of the assassin's reward as his own reward, with a ratio of about 10% to 20%.
This is done to protect the employer. Even if the assassin fails to perform the task and is caught, he will not be able to reveal who is behind the scenes. Secondly, it can also protect the assassin and prevent the employer from killing the assassin after using up the assassin.
And this guy who dared to attack him was quite capable. He was obviously not just a small fish and shrimp found at random. There was no reason why he would contact his employer in person, and this was after he failed.
Therefore, Zhang Heng also showed great patience and followed the target around for almost half an hour before the assassin walked into a butcher shop.
The owner of the butcher shop obviously knew him. When he saw him coming, he didn't even ask him what he wanted to buy. After confirming that there was no suspicious person behind him, he opened a side door and let him in. He didn't unload his clothes until the assassin walked into the backyard. All guarded and vigilant, he complained, "What kind of job did you give me?"
There, a Samaritan who was blind in one eye was shaking a bag of gold coins. Hearing the beautiful voice coming from inside, he raised his head and said, "Champion of the Flaviy Amphitheater, didn't you say there's nothing wrong with it?" Yes, I want three hundred gold coins from the other side for this order. After the deal is completed, you can probably retire, and I can also make a lot of money. How about it, tell me that you have completed the task!" Sama There was a trace of eagerness in the one eye of the Leah man.
"It's a pity that I brought you bad news this time. I made a mistake." The assassin shook his head.
"How is it possible? You are the best assassin under my command. And didn't you say that gladiatorial champions are only good at frontal combat? They are no different from ordinary people in front of you?!" Samaritan Portrait It's a little hard to accept this bad news.
"I don't know, and I don't know how he escaped my fatal blow, and he also took the dagger away from me, which made me feel very bad." The assassin hesitated, " I seem to be able to smell a hint of the same kind of scent from him."
"What, are you also from the distant and mysterious East?" asked the one-eyed Samaritan.
"I'm not talking about the origin, but for a moment I thought he was also an assassin."
"Do you think he is also an assassin? And then he ignored a good assassin and became a gladiator?" The Samaritan's one eye widened.
"I know this sounds a bit unbelievable, forget it... maybe it's my illusion." The assassin said, "And I also got rid of him when I came back, and I even put on a show for him before that. look."
As a result, before he finished speaking, he saw the one eye of the Samaritan opposite him widening, as if he had seen a ghost.
So the assassin turned around, followed his gaze, and saw Zhang Heng standing by the wall.
"I heard you seem to be talking about my affairs, and I happen to have a few questions to ask, so please forgive me for coming uninvited."
Sorry, it's late today. Everyone goes to bed early.
