Comprehension against the sky, creating the Five Thunders in the real world

Norasuke began to panic.

The situation seemed to be a foregone conclusion.

He was now completely trapped.

There was absolutely no chance of escape. It's over. I'm really going to be doomed this time.

Considering how many targets he has assassinated.

He has succeeded so many times and never made a mistake.

I never expected to capsize here; I'm really not happy about it.

The battle continued, and Lin Beichen had no intention of intervening.

He believed that Yu Feng's strength was more than enough to win easily.

"Huh, his face is all bruised and swollen. Is he afraid to kill, or has he been completely overwhelmed by Yu Feng?"

Lin Beichen was somewhat curious.

Why did Norasuke hesitate to strike when he had several opportunities?

Was he afraid of a sudden attack? Perhaps so. Or perhaps the intimidation emanating from Yu Feng was too great, preventing him from acting rashly—if he fought desperately, Yu Feng could exchange blows. In this battle, Norasuke was fighting with his hands tied, and defeat was only a matter of time.

"Stop! Stop hitting!"

"There's no point in continuing like this, I surrender... I surrender."

"You want money? I can give it to you, as long as you spare my life I will..." Before he could finish speaking, Yu Feng delivered a heavy punch to his chin.

That punch completely stunned him.

Norasuke's offensive crumbled instantly.

What followed was a one-sided output from Yu Feng.

The outcome of the battle is no longer in doubt.

"Weren't you pretty good at fighting just now? Is that all? I thought you were much better."

"The number one assassin in the Sakura Kingdom is nothing special. He can't even beat me. What makes him think he can assassinate Brother Lin Beichen?" Yu Feng's lips curled into a cruel smile before he unleashed a series of attacks on Nora.

He deliberately avoided vital areas.

He still remembered Lin Beichen's instructions.

The top assassin from the Sakura Kingdom in front of us has an astonishing net worth.

Simply killing it would be too wasteful; we must extract every last drop of value from it.

"I said I could pay, please stop hitting me!"

Norōsuke still tried to struggle.

No sooner had he spoken than another heavy punch landed on his face.

With a bang, a front tooth flew out.

Blood trickled from the corner of his mouth, and he immediately became listless.

"A scholar can be killed but not humiliated!"

"I've already agreed to pay you, why are you still humiliating me like this?"

Norasuke couldn't take it anymore.

One shouldn't go too far in life.

This is simply outrageous; let's stop now.

"Leave room for maneuver in everything, so that you may meet again in the future."

"Heh, do I need to say goodbye to you? Money? I can still get it by killing you." Yu Feng completely ignored Nora's pleas and continued to beat him with punch after punch.

Nora-suke has absolutely no chance of obediently cooperating...

He will definitely hide some of the money.

To make this guy completely devoted, you have to plunge him into utter despair.

……

The whole process lasted for nearly half an hour.

It must be said that Norasuke, as the top assassin of the Sakura Kingdom, is indeed remarkably resilient. If it were an ordinary person, they would probably have been beaten unconscious by Yu Feng long ago.

……

Zhang San, who was standing guard outside the toilet, couldn't help but grin.

They've been playing for so long, it's time to stop.

The scene was indeed rather brutal, but upon further reflection, he realized the other party was, after all, the number one assassin in Japan, and his pity vanished. The other party had come seeking death; who could he blame but himself?
One may be able to escape the calamities sent down by Heaven, but one cannot survive the misfortunes that one brings upon oneself.

Since he intends to take someone's life, that person naturally has the right to retaliate.

Those who kill will eventually be killed; those who insult others will eventually be insulted.

At first, Norasuke didn't take Yu Feng seriously at all, but now it's Yu Feng's turn to humiliate him. Perhaps this is what they call reincarnation; life is unpredictable, and in the blink of an eye, the situation reverses.

They actually targeted Lin Beichen and Yu Feng for assassination.

This is tantamount to courting death! Not to mention a top assassin from Japan.

Even if a few more such characters appeared, it wouldn't make a difference, considering Zhang San himself hadn't even offered any assistance. He was confident in his abilities; with preparation, dealing with such assassins was a piece of cake; however, if he was caught off guard, it would be a different story, since the other party was adept at operating in the shadows.

Assassins lurking in the shadows usually don't strike easily.

But once it strikes, it will be a fatal blow.

If an assassin's whereabouts are exposed, their threat level will be greatly reduced.

Their assassination skills are not very effective in direct confrontations.

"That's enough, I really... I dare not hide anything anymore."

“If you kill me, you won’t get a single penny.”

Norasuke was bruised and swollen, barely breathing, and had been beaten to the point of near death.

Even the strongest resilience isn't made of iron. After being brutally beaten for so long, he simply couldn't take it anymore. If he didn't give in now, he might really die in that toilet stall.

Even if he were to die, Norasuke would rather not die in such an inconspicuous corner.

This is really inconsistent with his status; he is, after all, a respectable person.

For assassins, mission success rate is their badge of honor, and the manner of their death is also one of the criteria for evaluation. Norasuke didn't want to die such a humiliating and pathetic death.

"Good, very good, it seems you've figured it out."

Lin Beichen removed the feng shui formation.

Then, feigning reproach, she said to Yu Feng, "Why did you have to hit so hard? We're not mortal enemies. Norasuke is our beloved friend, our brother."

These words made Noryosuke's lips twitch involuntarily.

Could these people be any more obviously lying?

Who is the villain and who is the hero?
Norasuke felt a strange sensation welling up inside him.

These Chinese people seemed even more terrifying than he, the assassin.

He, the so-called assassin, suddenly didn't seem like a villain at all.

Please, you're supposed to be respectable people, you'd better avoid robbery! For the sake of your image, shouldn't you tone it down a bit?

"Alright, I'll give you two options now."

“I’m not an unreasonable person. I don’t have to take all the money.”

"The first option is to save your life."

"The second option is to hand over all your possessions."

To be or not to be, that is the choice.

However, most people would choose to save their lives. Money lost can be earned back. Even if it can't be earned back, it's okay.

If you lose your life, then it's truly the end of everything.

Money is important, but the value of life is even greater.

“I choose option two. As long as I live, I can give you all my money…”

Norasuke chose the second path without hesitation.

He never imagined he would have the opportunity to save his life with money.

In any case, one's own life is the most precious thing; money is just an external thing.

I'll never do anything so dangerous again. What's so great about being an assassin?

With my skills, what can't I do?
Why bother becoming a killer or assassin? Can you really spend that kind of money with a clear conscience?

Now look what's happened! Karma has come on so fast. All the savings I've accumulated from so many dangerous missions have been taken away by these two. All my hard work over the past life has benefited others; it's a truly unpleasant feeling.

"You know the truth."

"Don't try to trick me. I'm an expert in divination and prediction..."

After this lesson, Norasuke never dared to have any more wicked thoughts.

Because he discovered that Lin Beichen in front of him seemed to be able to see through his inner thoughts.

Such mysterious and unpredictable methods are truly terrifying.

Having already become a prisoner, trying to play any more tricks? That would be tantamount to courting death.

……

Lin Beichen and Yu Feng chose to split the profits 50/50.

In this regard, Lin Beichen had no intention of taking advantage of Yu Feng.

Although Yu Feng felt unworthy of the assignment, since it was Lin Beichen's decision, he didn't say anything more. Their relationship had reached a point where such trivial matters were unnecessary.

"Brother Lin Beichen, now that this is the case, I'm thinking of retiring early to enjoy my retirement."

"With this money, I can basically live a worry-free life for the rest of my days."

A lazy smile appeared on Yu Feng's face.

Hearing Yu Feng's words, Lin Beichen couldn't help but shake his head slightly, thinking that this kid was really too good at joking.

He knew that Yu Feng wasn't the kind of person who would choose to lie low once he had money.

Yu Feng's family was already well-off, and he had never lacked money since he was a child.

This money will certainly make his life more comfortable in the future, but he will never really give up his struggle.

Noryusuke, who was listening to their conversation, almost burst into tears.

This was all his hard-earned money, meant for his retirement, and it was supposed to be his security after retirement. Who would have thought that it would all benefit someone else? This pained him so much that he could hardly breathe.

Is there any justice left in this world?
They've already got the money, and they still have to say such sarcastic things to his face.

This was clearly a case of killing him by breaking his spirit, but even with all his resentment, he was powerless to do anything about it. He was now a prisoner of Lin Beichen and Yu Feng, his life entirely in their hands. Thinking this, he quickly forced a smile and politely said to the two of them:

"Now that I've given you all the money, can I leave?"

"You wouldn't go back on your word, would you?" His tone was clearly unease.

I suddenly realized that I seemed to have overlooked a crucial point.

The two people in front of him never mentioned letting him go.

The constant focus on money made Norasuke increasingly anxious.

"When did we say we were going to let you go? We just want you to hand over the money."

Yu Feng suddenly changed his tune faster than the weather.

He had no intention of letting Norasuke go.

Upon hearing this, Norasuke's eyes widened like saucers, and he pointed at Yu Feng and Lin Beichen, angrily shouting, "You are shameless! You treacherous and wicked people!"

"You promised to keep your word, is this the way you Chinese people behave? This is truly an eye-opener! I'm ashamed to associate with people like you who go back on their word!"

After saying that, Norasuke turned around and tried to rush out of the toilet.

Lin Beichen and Yu Feng exchanged a smile and did not intervene.

Besides the two of them, there was another person guarding outside the toilet.

It's important to know that Zhang San is no ordinary fighter; with his strength, he could easily hold off Norasuke. Sure enough, as expected, a series of shrill screams soon came from outside.

"Huh? These two didn't stop me."

"Are they just trying to scare me, but actually still keeping their promise?"

"So it turns out I misunderstood them."

"It seems the Chinese still value integrity. After all, these two are people of status; they shouldn't do anything that would compromise their principles." Norasuke's thought had barely crossed his mind when it was interrupted by Zhang San's murderous face. A faint, menacing aura emanated from the man.

Based on his intuition honed over years as an assassin, Nora immediately sensed that the person in front of him was no ordinary individual. He became alert and instinctively tried to run away.

He just wanted to leave this troublesome place as soon as possible.

Staying there even a moment longer would be dangerous for him.

Perhaps this person in front of me is an accomplice of the target. I was too naive to actually think they would let me go. Those two guys don't care about principles.
This is indeed the case.

Why should Lin Beichen and Yu Feng care about such empty fame? As long as Norasuke is completely dealt with, no one will know about this anymore. If no one knows, it's as if it never happened.

To outsiders, they remain gentlemen who keep their promises.

As long as he doesn't get exposed, that's fine. As for Zhang San, who is just an observer, there's even less to worry about. As a former special forces elite, Zhang San is not one to gossip.

Moreover, Zhang San didn't see anything wrong with Lin Beichen and Yu Feng's actions. That's how you treat an enemy; why should you preach morality and promises to someone who wants to take your life? That would be absurd and laughable.
……

at the same time.

The numerous Sakura Country personnel who received Norasuke's signal were solemnly guarding the conference room.

Everyone waited quietly for Norasuke's next move.

However, as time passed, the relaxed expressions on everyone's faces gradually turned gloomy.

More than half an hour has passed.

More than half an hour has passed.

So much time has passed since the assassination attempt began.

Logically, the battle should have ended long ago, but no news has come back yet, which has made everyone present feel a sense of foreboding.

Is there a possibility that...?

Has Noryosuke, the top assassin who has never failed, really failed this time?
In fact, everyone had similar guesses in their minds, but no one dared to voice this idea.

If Norasuke, on whom high hopes were placed, really fails...

It will probably be difficult for the Sakura Kingdom to deal with Lin Beichen and Yu Feng again.

Having expended so many resources and still unable to eliminate the two, what other options are there?
Hiring an even more skilled assassin to carry out the assassination is not out of the question.

However, the failed assassination attempt will inevitably increase the two men's vigilance, and their value will rise accordingly.

If we really want to take action again, we would have to hire an assassin stronger than Norasuke, but a master of that level might not be willing to take the risk for money.

To put it bluntly,
How many people in this world are stronger than Noraku?

Nora is also a top assassin with a renowned reputation internationally.

Even he failed, so others would naturally understand that Lin Beichen and Yu Feng were not to be trifled with. This was definitely a tough nut to crack; without absolute certainty, it was best not to provoke them. Overestimating one's abilities could destroy years of accumulated reputation.

"Damn it, Norasuke, you piece of trash!"

"After spending so much time and resources, they still dared to ask for a higher price." (End of Chapter)
