Huo Jiakai had just completed a difficult task and received a large sum of money in his account. He was currently enjoying a comfortable life in Tai Nation's Bai County. Bai County was a place with simple folk customs, remote tranquility, and beautiful scenery. But now, tourism development was gradually improving, and there were many foreign tourists.
Huo Jiakai had bought a small manor in Bai County. It was a Thai-style wooden house with a garden full of flowers. Huo Jiakai hired a local gardener to take care of the manor. The flowers could be sold, and the income belonged to the Tongchai family. This was a considerable income, so the Tongchai family took good care of the manor and cleaned the house so that Huo Jiakai could move in at any time.
Huo Jiakai did not come here often. This was just one of his many safe houses around the world. His safe houses included high-end apartments in the bustling city, manors in small towns like Bai County, and shacks built in slums.
On this day, Huo Jiakai was taking a bath at home. The huge wooden bucket was filled with hot water, and the surface of the water was covered with fresh rose petals. Huo Jiakai sat chillingly in the bathtub. His daughter, Qing Shui, carefully scrubbed his back with a bath ball covered in petals.
The girl's soft and delicate hands moved on Huo Jiakai's firm skin. Qingshui was nineteen years old and had been planting flowers and selling flowers in the manor with his father. When she was seventeen, she followed her father to the manor and fell in love with Huo Jiakai the first time she saw him.
Regardless of whether Huo Jiakai was around or not, Qingshui would change the flowers in the room every day and look forward to his arrival every day. Huo Jiakai had only come three times in the past two years, and each time, he would not stay for long. Qingshui was as happy as a festival.
Huo Jiakai knew what was on Qing Shui's mind at a glance. He was indifferent and even colder. One night, Qing Shui only wore a loose robe that was empty inside. He knocked on his door and stood in front of Huo Jiakai. Qing Shui looked up at his beautiful face and said with tears," Sir, Qing Shui asks you to take me in tonight."”
Qing Shui's robe slid down, revealing his youthful and beautiful body. Long and straight legs, soft and slender waist. Full and upright breasts. They were shy but also bold and passionate.
Huo Jiakai picked up the loose robe and put it on Qingshui." Go out and go home. You can never come again if something like this happens again."”Qing Shui cried and ran away. From then on, he worked quietly.
Huo Jiakai's indifference was not innate. When he was eleven, he was on a mission with his senior brother, who was a few years older. He met a beautiful girl. His senior brother liked the girl and treated her very well. Just as he happily ran a long way to buy her favorite ice cream and fed her personally, the girl mercilessly stabbed him in the heart with a sharp dagger.
Huo Jiakai watched his senior brother slowly fall into a pool of blood. He would never forget his senior brother's shocked, desperate, and heartbroken eyes. Later, Huo Jiakai found out that this training was specially designed for him by the organization to tell him that women were dangerous. The more beautiful they were, the more dangerous they were.
Huo Jiakai became a professional killer at the age of fifteen. He never smoked or drank, and he didn't even have any hobbies. That was because it would make him weak at a certain moment. When his life was on the line, a moment was enough to be fatal.
That year, Huo Jiakai assassinated an excellent first-class killer. He studied the killer codenamed Rattlesnake for a long time but could not find any weakness. His whereabouts were erratic and he was very vigilant. No matter where he lived, he would first make sure that it was safe and would even leave a secret mark when he left.
Finally, Huo Jiakai found out that the rattlesnake would go to a cinema to watch a movie every once in a while. Huo Jiakai was lying in ambush in this cinema. The first time the rattlesnake came here, Huo Jiakai stayed still, making the rattlesnake accustomed to his existence and think that it was safe. It wasn't until the third time Rattlesnake came to the theater that Huo Jiakai caught him off guard and killed him.
Huo Jiakai was enjoying the considerate service of the water with his eyes closed. A strange feeling swept across his heart. Before he could think about it, his body reacted faster than his mind. He jumped up and threw out the bottles of shampoo, shower gel, and essential oil.
The angle at which the bottles were thrown was tricky. Each bottle was thrown from a different direction to block the door. No matter how the person tried to dodge, they would still be hit. However, a figure flashed and rushed over. Huo Jiakai did not attack again. He only let the frightened Qing Shui pack his things and leave.
The person spread out his body and stood tall. He smiled and said," You're still so vigilant with a beauty by your side. I'm impressed, but your skills seem to be a little weak."”
The person who came was tall and straight. He was a handsome mixed-blood man. Huo Jiakai remained silent with a cold expression. He opened his palm and the person who came saw him was shocked. He said," That was close. It seems like I dodged a bullet." How strange, your entire body is smooth, how can you still have your divine artifact at any time? However, your heart is kind, unlike the internationally famous shadow killer.”
Huo Jiakai said coldly,"Mike, that's because I didn't feel any killing intent." You can try to kill me whenever you want to. Tell me, why are you disturbing me?" Mike said," I sent you an email.”Huo Jiakai interrupted him." I've already rejected it. If it's still the same thing, then forget it."”
Mike said," Look at you. It's not too late to decide after I finish speaking. This was a very cost-effective business. You only needed to accompany a beautiful woman to travel around the mountains and rivers to get a huge reward.”
Huo Jiakai said coldly," Why don't you go for such a good thing yourself?”
Mike said," Of course I want to go, but they specifically want you to go. What can I do? Who asked you to be more famous than me. Why don't they think that I'm more handsome than you and more suitable to accompany beautiful women?”
Huo Jiakai looked at Mike, who was deliberately slippery, and said,"I don't want to waste my rest time for the daughter of a rich family." Besides, I'm an assassin who only knows how to kill. I should hire bodyguards for protection.”
Mike said seriously," The best bodyguard may not be a good killer, but the best killer must be a good bodyguard. You've always been studying those high-level bodyguards and security guards. Then, he would deal with them and break through them. That's why you're the most familiar with this line of work."
" Mike, just get to the point," Huo Jiakai said unhappily." I'm not needed for such a simple task, let alone pay such a high reward."”
Mike smiled awkwardly." Actually, I don't understand either. I didn't find anything special about this woman. She's definitely not the daughter of a wealthy family." He lost his father at the age of five and his mother at the age of eleven. He had been living independently all this while. He had graduated from university and worked as a company employee. He usually did not have any complicated relationships. Look, he looks pretty good."
Huo Jiakai caught the photo that Mike had thrown. In the photo, a girl was sitting in the sunset. She had long hair and clean eyes. She was wearing a simple white dress and exuded a quiet aura. Her body was covered in the afterglow of the sunset.
"So she's an orphan. I'll take her, you can go now.”
Mike deliberately said unhappily,"Burning bridges after crossing the river is exactly what people like you say."”
