Cai Yan just came back from investigating a gang's fight that had a result of multiple victims at the location. She managed to identify one of them as the leader of the Black Dragon which quite a shocking since he had been long around, even before her time. She heard the leader had quite practice in martial arts thus his fighting capability supposed to be impressive, but after she looked at the corpse, the man had been beaten up badly.

It was either just rumor about his power, or the person who beat him was powerful enough.

She opened the door toward her office and walked to the chair behind her desk. Her feet was slow and she had a bit sweat glistening her beauty. She carefully sat on her chair then exhaled a mouthful of air while holding her rib. She took out a pill's bottle from her desk's drawer, putting a translucent peanut size item into her mouth and she drank a mouthful of water from another bottle beside her computer.

After resting her head on the back rest for quite sometime, Cai Yan booted up her PC and checked on the Black Dragon's record. She found several small crime that involve their gang's activity such as extortion of money from many small stall's seller or vandalism of people's property. After browsing for some more, she hadn't find anything that worth to be noted.

Why there would be anyone want to eradicate such a small achievement gang? she crossed her arms and inwardly thought.

She tried to see it in different angle by looking up the gang's influence and territory, whether it crossed path with opposition gangs in the vicinity. To her surprise, the Black Dragon's area of control indeed quite big, almost triple in size than a normal gang should have.

That means they should have a large number of men... and monopolized lot of dirty business's in hand.

Cai Yan began to check on the people on lived in that area, and all kind of work that had been going there.

At this moment, her door had a sound of knock, she casually called in the person.

"Chief, sorry for disturbing you, there is a letter addressed to you from an unknown sender," a person in a blue uniform marched in and offered a white piece of item to the shoulder length haired woman.

Cai Yan wrinkled her eyebrows, she grabbed the letter and quickly unpacked it to fish out the paper inside.

"There is a suspicious activity in construction site at Chéng shāng district, come quick or you miss it."

"Had you catch a glimpse of any suspicious person nearby, or anything out of ordinary?" she asked without moving her green iris from the writing.

"No, chief, I don't see any person... but now that you mention it, there is somehow a smoke after I opened the front door and saw the letter on the ground..." the man tilted his eyes upward.

"A smoke?" Cai Yan glanced at him with confused eyes.

"Yes," the officer nodded.

"Hmm..." she rubbed her cheek while observing the words on the letter.

"Chief is it possible that is the same letter from a couple weeks ago?"

"No... the writing style is different, while the first one seemed elegant, this one more... I don't know... sophisticated... maybe..." Cai Yan said while knitting her eyebrows.

"Do you want us to do some identification?"

"Yes, by the way, what do you know about the construction site in Chéng shāng?" Cai Yan handed over the paper to the office.

"Not much, Chief. But I think it is a construction under Yu Lei's name..."

Yu Lei? Isn't that Ruoxi's enterprise? Cai Yan frowned while seemed deep in thought.

"Do you want to inspect there, Chief?"

"I just took my medication, and I think I shouldn't move much for quite sometime. Please sent two officer to the said construction..." she huffed while ma.s.saged her ribs.

"Right away!" the man straightened his back and saluted before striding away from her room.

As soon as he closed the door, Cai Yan once again leaned her head on the back rest and closed her eyes.

"Delicious... delicious... tender meat... is delicious...."

*Bang!* *Bang!* *Bang!*

"Chief!"

Cai Yan snapped open her eyes and looked around her room with a heaving chest. Sweats covered her fair skin and her hand trembled, soon she gritted her teeth while grasping her own forehead.

"d.a.m.n it."

(***)

Thirty minutes later, in the first floor of construction site, Chéng shāng district.

"Sasuke Uchiha?" the people aside from the slacked back haired man startled.

"You are from island country?" one of the them doubtfully asked.

"Yup," the man called Sasuke nodded.

They looked to each other eyes, is not that they had any sort of problem with them, it just strange that a foreigner like this wanted to be errand boy of someone's from their own. They were confident that the person who are becoming their buyer was a person of their own, because they had done a background check a long time ago, but they never make a fuss if the person didn't want to show his own face here. They understood the important of the face of those big families.

"Whatever, like usual, you wire the money to our account then you can take the item away," the man with a brief case strolled, he raised it in the front of his chest and unlatched the hook as the brief case flipped open.

There was a strange item inside, not heroin or other drugs, it was a sort piece of rock or something.

The man soon wrinkled his eyebrows.

"Why didn't you take your phone out?"

"Why should I?" Sasuke said with a bit smirk.

"It's for visual identification to send to that person of course, it's the procedure to guarantee that the item is not false," the man said with an irritated voice.

"Ah, yes... but here is the problem... I don't bring a phone..."

"The f.u.c.k?! How the h.e.l.l you come without preparation?!" he shut the brief case tight while bellowed. The other people also had their face turn ugly.

"Because I don't need to..." Sasuke crackled his own hands.

"What do you me" before the man able to finish, his body already sent flying to the ceiling, he crashed toward it with an ear deafening sound and left a visible crack on its surface. The brief case fell from his hand and caught by other which precisely is Sasuke who shockingly appeared on the man previous spot.

It all happened so fast that the people in the room didn't have the chance to recognize the threat.

Only after a few seconds had pa.s.sed that the mobs finally aware the change of the situation, and at the same time, that person also left the vicinity of the ceiling and had his body landed harshly to the ground while no longer move.

Sasuke stood in front of them with a carefree expression, he put one hand inside his pocket while the other hand grabbed the brief case.

"So? What are guys waiting for?"

"b.a.s.t.a.r.d!!!" they took out their hand guns and started shooting the slacked back haired man. Sasuke had his feet glowed in a pale green then he leapt to the right side, he kicked one of the tight s.h.i.+rt man's face and his body propelled backward, pa.s.sed through cemented pillars before he stopped after the sixth one. The mobs stared in horror at the power this man exhibited, clearly he's not an ordinary person.

"Cover me! I must escape!" one of the person in tuxedo and rounded hat slowly retreated before turned his body around and headed toward the building's another exit. The rest of them didn't dare to hesitate, they rained down Sasuke's position with many beads made of steel.

*Ratatatata!* *P-taff!* *p-taff!* *p-taff!*

Despite of that, it didn't hinder Sasuke's movement, he ran in zig-zag and pa.s.sed beside many pillars, his destination is not the people who in fact trying to kill him with the guns, but the tuxedo person who tried to escape. The person felt his back s.h.i.+vered in cold, he glanced over his shoulder but before he managed to do so, two feet landed on the back of his head and body. He fell flat on the rough ground and his body slid several meters away.

"Ooh... it seemed you have miss the train to a second chance to life..." Sasuke chuckled, his foot increased the pressure on his head.

"Please, please! Don't kill me! I beg you!" his saliva created a puddle on the ground.

"Nope, like I said, you have miss the train..."

*Crack!*

Sasuke didn't need to make the man's head explode like water melon, all he needed just to rupture the man's skeleton and the after shock of the strength automatically traveled to the man's brain and damaging it. He smirked then jumped to the air, dodging many incoming bullet. His body turned around and upside down, sticking his feet to the ceiling above.

"f.u.c.k, he killed him!!!"

"What should we do now?!"

"Run! Run! We have no chance against this monster!"

No one stupid enough to face off against someone who can killed three people easily. They scattered to every direction except his, each hoping that the monster would chase other direction.

Sasuke smirked, such tactics perhaps effective for other people, but not him, he took out his hand from his pocked and summoned two clones. Three of them including the original had all their body blasted in pale green color, and like a bullet punched through its way through the s.p.a.ce, they all sprang in three direction.

The left clone had arrived in a group of four people, it stopped before a brick and kicked it hard. The brick launched toward the man on the foremost and slammed the back of his head. It crumbled to piece but the man's back head also burst open a wound and the people on his back could see a glimpse of a white structure before the man fell to the ground. They all screamed in terror, twisting their feet and raised their guns in hope to kill it before it killed them, but a punch struck the man on the left, an elbow to his stomach, then a snapping bone on his right arm. It stole the man's gun and nested two bullets in other two forehead. It let go the man with a broken arm, before unload the rest of the bullet into his body. Then it disappeared in a puff of smoke.

The right clone faced against two people only, dodging one bullet by crouching its body, it punched the man's stomach on its left then leaning back to avoid an incoming bullet from its right, it traded blows with two people on both sides before sweeping their legs from the ground, the two people fell onto their sides and the clone reached out to their hands, pressing the trigger on each guns and the two supposed comrades now shot each other. The clone dismissed its appearance in a puff of smoke.

The original chased three left people who headed to the exit where he came before, he leapt far ahead of them and rested his feet right before the group. They abruptly stopped as their widened eyes filled with grief stricken terror.

"So soon to leave without concluding the business? Don't you guys want money?" 'Sasuke' smirked, once again slipping his hand into his pocket and he put the brief case over his shoulder.

The man in the middle gritted his teeth in annoyance of why this monster must picked this direction, unknown to him that the people in other direction also faced trouble.

He raised both hands including the one that held a gun and he pleaded.

"Please let us alive, why do you have to kill us? Did our group and yours had a conflict before?"

"Nope!" Sasuke replied in a such simple tone.

"Then why?! What grievance did you have with us?!" the man spoke in a frustrating manner.

"There is no profound reason, you guys just happen to be a.s.sociate with the wrong people," he shrugged.

"Wrong people? You mean this business? You have a grudge with Young Master Xu?" the man said after contemplating for a while.

"Oh, so you know about him? Good, that save me some time to explain things!"

"Wait, wait, we can help you kill him, in return, please let us be alive!" he dropped down to the floor and knelt, the two people in the back also joined his motion.

"You guys made a hard bargain, while having some a.s.sistance may be nice but there is a chance of you'll attempt to kill me in the future, this I cannot allowed..." Sasuke strolled forward, producing a dread to those people's heart for every steps he took.

The man in the middle clenched his jaws, with a ruthless and resolute looked in his eyes, he turned his body around with the gun still on his hand and shot down two other people. His action was fast and swift, neither of them realize they just had been killed by their own.

'Sasuke' stopped his feet and his eyes widened in a quite shocked for a while, he quickly returned it back to carefree tone as the man restored his original position.

"That's my promise that no one will know our deal, and I will also kill the other who had been here before..." he placed down his gun and pasted his forehead on the ground.

"How are you going to report back to your boss?"

"I'll say that Xu Zhihong ordered an a.s.sa.s.sin to kill all of us."

"If he ask for what reason, what will you say?"

"I'll say I don't know..."

"If he ask for what reason you still alive, what will you say?"

"I'll say I don't know..."

'Sasuke' went silent, after a while, he walked forward to the man.

"Give me your hand."

"Eh?" the man lifted his head upward, his face smeared with confusion.

"Sorry, I mean stretched open your hand," Sasuke quickly changed the phrase since he don't want the man to misunderstand. Sure enough, the subject did as he told. Sasuke raised one finger and it lit with small fire, he pressed it to the man's palm. As he winced in pain, Sasuke in a swift made a circle and several strange words in it. After a while, the mark was completed and it entered the man's palm.

It's like being stabbed by many hot needle, his palm was feeling hot all over, he crashed back to the ground and trashed around. He screamed to the top of his lung at the pain he suffered.

Soon the feeling had subsided but the man already sweat all over and only speck of power left in his body.

"That is a curse I implanted to you, for once in everyday you will suffer the same pain you just received and it will turn more painful as the time progress. Give up the thought of lifting it since only me can do it for you.

Based on that, you must have known what you should do to be free from the curse, right?"

The man nodded his head weakly.

"Good, a week from now, in this place, I'll antic.i.p.ate a good news," 'Sasuke' said while walked away from the man, going out of the building while leaving a lingering words that made the man had his mind went blank.

"Oh, about other people? Yeah, they all died..."

He walked in leisure then pa.s.sed through the steeled fence, he stopped for a moment to look at the car not far from his location, a smirk pulled the corner of his lips then his body went blurry before he completely disappeared.

Many meters from his last location, a car with red glaring light atop its roof parked. Two police officers hid in the front seat of the car, after don't know how long they had erased their existence, the police officers finally raised their body with paled face and cold sweat.

"What the heck we just see?"

"A nightmare..."

(***)

"Ah, Mr. Naruto, have you arrived at the construction site?"

In his house, Xu Zhihong just strolled from his bed room with refreshed face, a fragrant amorous atmosphere puffed out from his compartment. He held his phone in his right ear while he went toward his wine shelves.

He wanted to drink his Romanee Conti but he didn't know why it was suddenly gone...

"Yeah, about that? When I arrived there, everyone's already dead and now the area filled with cops..."

"What?!" he just poured the wine onto the magnificent looking gla.s.s and now it spilled to the floor.

"h.e.l.lo, is this connection OK? You heard what I am saying, right?"

"YES, YES, I HEAR YOU, WTF HAPPEN THERE?!!!"

"Heesh, you don't need to speak with all caps lock on the words, my ear are buzzing..."

"Quit dawdling around, what's going on in there?!"

"I dunno, people was dead and there are cops, take a wild guess..."

"Mr. Naruto, you better not playing with me..." Xu Zhihong face turned darker.

"I am not so bored that I have to play with you..." a snorted tone could be heard from the other end.

"Be honest with me, did you kill them all?" he grasped the wine gla.s.s with quite strength until his hand s.h.i.+vered.

"I just arrived here, I don't have a car and I am a poor man, so I had to walk..." Naruto voice filled with distaste.

"The item, the item! How about the item?!"

"How should I know."

"f.u.c.k! Who dare did this to me?!" Xu Zhihong threw his gla.s.s to the wall, a gasp voice could be hear from his bed room.

"My guess? Someone like you will bound to have a lot of enemies around, so it might be one of them, my advice is that you should tighten your seat belt because I don't believe this will be the last, and oh, maybe hired some mercenary or security to protect, you know, in case they are needed."

"You don't need to tell me..." he strode to his working room with wrath on his face.

"Good, then I sincerely offer my condolence, and farewell, bye!"
