CHAPTER 718: CHAPTER 348: SENIOR BROTHER AND MOTHER-IN-LAW (PART 2)
"What’s wrong?"
Moon Princess asked suspiciously.
Gu Jianlin shook his head, "It’s nothing."
At that moment, he suddenly sensed something and looked up at the pitch-black sky.

This was an unprecedented event in Tokyo; the test subjects had broken free from their cages and flooded the streets.
Like devils inherited from ancient civilizations, they were finally exposed to the world.
If they couldn’t be stopped, the entire world would be violently shaken.
The subjects were mostly juveniles, with most possessing merely Extraordinary Level combat capabilities, and the Ancestor within them wasn’t an ancient presence, thus they were not threatening. The truly troublesome ones were the adults, requiring a Twilight Candidate to eliminate. Fierce battles raged across every corner of the Shibuya District, extremely perilous.
The most terrifying mutants, possessing remarkably high intelligence, actually hid themselves in the night.
Jiang Mingyan half-kneeled by the railing on the rooftop, setting up a black anti-material sniper rifle, with a silver metal box at her side filled with an array of firearms and matching ammunition.
As tonight’s operations overseer, she had already occupied the high ground, overlooking the bustling Shibuya District.
The scope swept over the test subjects on the street, but she didn’t fire.
Yet, when a black Rolls-Royce whizzed by, she felt an urge to pull the trigger.
One shot to blow it up.
And everything would be over.
"Is that why you didn’t oppose the engagement?"
She said expressionlessly, "Did you know who he was all along?"
At some point, Su Youxia had already leaned against the door to the safe passage, lighting a slender lady’s cigarette, speaking softly, "Of course, after all, I haven’t done anything to wrong her, why would she hide from me? If you want to kill someone, then pull the trigger, it’s just a single bullet."
She paused, "That is, if you’re prepared to be hated by her for a lifetime."
"If I really wanted to kill, I would have done it already."
Jiang Mingyan focused on looking through the scope, snorting coldly, "I wouldn’t go so mad as to kill my own daughter along with him. Besides, even if he was alone tonight, I might not be able to kill him."
As a professional assassin, she was all too familiar with the act of taking a life.
Aim, pull the trigger.
Just wait for the roar, and the target would die instantly.
Very few noticed her presence after being locked on by her.
Even upon noticing, they didn’t show any fear in their eyes.
For an assassin, whether you can kill the target actually doesn’t depend on the rank difference.
But on confidence.
If your killing intent and confidence can crush the enemy, then you naturally win.
If not, it’s best to holster the gun and leave immediately.
"If you shoot him today, be prepared to face the wrath of the entire Order World, and the entire Dark World will be in trouble." Su Youxia emotionlessly smoked, thinking of the events in that building.
She didn’t expect Gu Jianlin would be able to practice two Supreme Laws simultaneously. This world is truly absurd.
Jiang Mingyan thought about the Order World’s attention to this young man and said indifferently, "Then it’s best to send him back quickly, instead of lurking in the Dark World. This is Gu Ci’an’s son, I owe their family a favor, but that doesn’t mean I’ll risk losing both my daughters."
"You all are too close to him, once he gets exposed, you will all be doomed."
She reminded, "You should know how terrifying Jiang Chunyang is."
Su Youxia exhaled a puff of smoke gently, remaining silent.
"To protect my daughter, I’ll stop at nothing, betraying kindness means nothing to me."
Jiang Mingyan suddenly asked, "What did you do in that building?"
Su Youxia replied calmly, "Does it have anything to do with you?"
Back then, Gu Jianlin had realized that her Life Rhythm had disappeared briefly.
Then reappeared.
No one knew what happened during that time.
Jiang Mingyan also noticed this, her eyes growing colder, "I’ll remind you again, this is the Dark World, don’t do any unnecessary little moves, it’s very dangerous."
"I don’t want to delay any longer, after tonight’s incident, you two sisters must go home, where I’ll personally protect you. As long as you have no extra thoughts and adhere to the Zong Family rules, there won’t be any problems. With me here, no one can touch you, and Jiang Chunyang only has a few years left."
She emphasized, "The fiancé you chose in the Zong Family back then is already dead, the feelings from back then might not be enough for them to support you unconditionally. Youzhu’s chosen man is from an opposing camp, I cannot agree."
Su Youxia’s eyes became sharp, she held the cigarette, asking calmly, "What if I refuse?"
Jiang Mingyan said indifferently, "Tomorrow, Jiang Chunyang will discover his true identity."
Su Youxia squinted her beautiful eyes, not expecting her mother to be so shameless.
With a click.
Jiang Mingyan held the sniper rifle’s muzzle, the scope aimed at the watchtower five kilometers away.
The immense killing intent swept over the rooftop like a cold wind, her Eagle Eye was as sharp as a blade, incredibly fierce.
The gun roared in anger, like a monster.
Su Youxia was taken aback, as the woman was clearly in a state of extreme alert.
No, it wasn’t killing intent.
But vigilance.
She was also on the Overlord Path, yet Eagle Eye wasn’t enough to penetrate such a distant distance.
