Chapter 282 – Subterranean Assassination Technique

After this competition, Su Hao gained both fame and fortune.

In terms of the competition alone, Su Hao’s earnings were close to two hundred million yuan after the final settlement. If we add the money Yashan bet on Su Hao winning every match, as long as he doesn’t court disaster, Su Hao will not be short of money for a long time to come.

Regarding fame, Su Hao personally didn’t care. However, the reputation of ‘Dawn Small Courtyard’ has been completely established. Many organizations have contacted Sister Bai, seeking cooperation with Sister Bai to jointly build a large orphanage, and Sister Bai has preliminary intentions for cooperation.

Overall, Su Hao is no longer too worried about Sister Bai and the others’ future, as they have a clear path ahead.

However, risks also followed.

Su Hao, the ten-year-old champion, is seen by many as someone without a powerful background, an object that can be manipulated at will.

Furthermore, during the competition, Su Hao directly eliminated two Summoners in the finals, Tang Haiyi and Han Renjie. It is not difficult to imagine that after the Summoner competition ends, the families behind them will most likely seek revenge on Su Hao.

Although things seem calm now, they might be investigating Su Hao and planning how to kill him.

This is why Su Hao stayed alone in Saint Master City and had Sister Bai and the others leave first.

Although they wouldn’t directly attack Sister Bai and the others, there’s no telling if they’d get caught in the crossfire if a conflict broke out.

Su Hao walked leisurely, exposed to the sight of anyone who cared to look, heading towards the small villa in the southern part of the city.

Su Hao smiled, “I won’t hide. I’ll just hang around where you can see me. If you want to make a move, do it quickly. I don’t have time to play games with you.”

…

As Su Hao approached the city outskirts, the assassination attempt finally came.

People were coming and going on the street. A passerby with a smile casually walked past Su Hao, drawing a taser from his sleeve and, as they passed, poking at Su Hao’s back with Silent Movement.

Su Hao’s body flickered. He snatched the taser and, turning it around, pressed it against the man’s side.

Tear!

The man froze and slowly fell to the ground. Su Hao then stepped forward and took a small pistol with a silencer from the man’s other sleeve.

Su Hao inspected it. Twelve bullets, safety off, round chambered. He aimed at the man who had been electrocuted and pulled the trigger.

Puff!

He put the gun away and continued walking forward at an unhurried pace.

Turning down another street, another woman carrying a basket of vegetables approached Su Hao, yelling at people as she walked. The basket had somehow acquired the muzzle of a Black Hole gun, aimed at Su Hao.

Puff!

Su Hao dodged the shots in advance and continued walking forward. The woman fired two more shots, both of which Su Hao evaded. When he was within five steps, Su Hao raised his hand and fired.

Bang!

A bloody bullet hole appeared on the woman’s head, and she fell to the ground, vegetables scattering everywhere.

Su Hao mused, “First time in a gunfight, this is pretty exciting!”

Walking further, he left the busy downtown area, and the number of people decreased significantly. Su Hao, having used Little Light’s scan, had marked thirty-five people who had been following him, stopping and starting.

Four of them were always finding vantage points on high buildings with clear views to observe him from afar.

Su Hao guessed these were the snipers who posed the greatest threat to him.

After confirming the suspected enemy positions, Su Hao began to walk in directions that would obstruct the snipers’ line of sight, avoiding sniper attacks.

Suddenly, Su Hao stomped his foot.

‘Earth Spikes’!

The ground trembled slightly and quickly returned to calm. The two burrowing Summoned Beasts underground were already impaled by dense Earth Spikes, unable to move, and soon died completely.

Inevitably reaching an open area, Su Hao sped up and ran towards the outskirts of the city.

The sniper couldn’t help but open fire.

The bullet was faster than sound. Almost at the moment the shot was fired, the bullet hit the ground next to Su Hao. It missed!

It wasn’t that the bullet missed its aim, but that Su Hao was shaking too much.

As Su Hao started running, the more than thirty people following him also increased their speed, keeping pace with Su Hao.

For them, assassinating a Summoner world champion was extremely risky. If they failed to succeed after leaving the city, they would have to retreat!

Because as soon as the Summoner summoned their Summoned Beasts, they would no longer have a chance to kill them!

Su Hao’s expression was blank. He suddenly turned a corner, out of everyone’s sight, and then immediately burrowed underground and disappeared.

His purpose in running was to make a final confirmation, to confirm if these people were all following him.

Then Su Hao discovered that there were actually more than thirty people. This run allowed Su Hao to mark seven more individuals.

‘Now it’s my turn. The assassination begins!’ Su Hao used Transforming Steel Fast Movement underground to get behind one of the individuals.

Without revealing himself, he simply extended a hand from underground, aiming the muzzle at the person’s head.

“Peow!”

The person’s head exploded. Their whole body trembled, and they fell to the ground, dead.

Another companion heard the sound and instinctively turned to look back. Seeing his companion lying on the ground, with blood flowing from their head spreading rapidly, his sphincter tightened.

He quickly hid to the side, scanning left and right. However, he couldn’t find the enemy’s location, and a sense of dread washed over him.

Soon, he no longer needed to feel fear. A hand emerged from the ground in front of him, holding a Pistol, its Black Hole barrel pointed at him.

‘What the hell…’ A question mark popped into his mind. In the moment his brain froze, the gun’s muzzle flashed, and his consciousness plunged into eternal darkness.

Su Hao retracted his gun and went stealthy again, thinking to himself, ‘Isn’t my Subterranean Assassination Technique more powerful than the Silent Killing Technique?’

Next, Su Hao used Fast Movement underground, continuously reaping the lives of the assassins.

When only a dozen or so assassins remained out of more than forty, they realized something was wrong.

‘Abandon the mission, urgent retreat!’ a hoarse voice came through the earpieces of the remaining dozen assassins.

But once locked onto by Su Hao, escape was practically impossible.

‘Pfft!’ ‘Pfft!’ ‘Bang!’

When the Pistol runs out of bullets, I’ll take them from the killer.

The last female killer, panicked and without direction, ran wildly within the building, her eyes full of fear. She was human too, just that her profession was assassination, but she was also afraid of dying.

Her usual coldness was merely the composure shown by her confidence in her own strength! Moreover, many powerful figures liked her aloof demeanor.

Now, facing an enemy whose location she didn’t know, she was completely panicked, as if a gun were pressed to her head, facing death at any moment.

As she ran, a little boy suddenly walked out from around the corner ahead, looking at her with a smile.

“Objectives!” she instinctively raised her gun and fired.

However, the boy reacted quickly and immediately ducked back around the corner.

She immediately pursued him; the mission was equally important to her.

However, after chasing to the corner and finding no trace of the boy, she finally realized!

This boy was the enemy who had driven them to the brink of collapse!!!

An bone-chilling aura washed over her mind, and she was enveloped by immense fear: “It’s over!”

As if responding to her silent scream, Su Hao appeared behind her, raised his gun, and aimed it at the back of her head.

“Peow!”

The distinctive sound of a silencer rang out. The female killer fell forward, silent.

Su Hao casually tossed the Pistol aside, stomped on it forcefully, crushing it, and muttered, “Such a beautiful girl like you, it’s a waste to be a killer! If you have a next life, it’d be better to have a few more kids.”

But whether she was a killer or not, she didn’t seem to have a choice.

…

“Crash—”

The porcelain teacup was violently smashed to the ground, shattering into pieces.

The elderly man who had thrown the bowl took several deep breaths before calming down. He pointed at the fat middle-aged man kneeling on the ground and angrily rebuked, “You scoundrel! What idiotic thing have you done? Are you trying to drag us, the Tang Family, down with you? Huh? Cough cough… cough!”

Seeing the fat middle-aged man remain silent, the elderly man walked forward unsteadily and kicked him!

However, he himself lost his balance and was about to fall when a maid next to him steadied him. He suddenly realized that he was old and could no longer discipline this brat. He waved his hand, sat back in his chair, and said sternly, “Hmph! The things passed down from our ancestors are worthless in the eyes of you scoundrels! Go summon everyone. Family meeting at two in the afternoon! Anyone in Saint Master City who is absent will have their positions stripped and be sent into retirement!”

Only then did the middle-aged man look up, his eyes full of fear.
