Chapter 2, Blue Rose

Ji Qianming let out a bitter smile and could only honestly walk back along the path he had come.

The fat man chuckled softly, took a deep drag of his cigarette, exhaled a smoke ring, and wore an expression as if he could see through everything

The young man was taken aback and turned his head to see a boy slowly walking on the sidewalk, and then suddenly slammed on the brakes.

Golden Boy: "???"

The man in black pondered for a few seconds before finally opening the door

Ji Qianming heard the roar of the sports car's engine. Just as he turned his head, he saw the blinding high beams rapidly enlarging in his field of vision; its speed was truly astonishing

The man in black stood still, coldly gazing at the fat man, with no attempt to conceal the murderous intent in his eyes

His mood gradually calmed with his breathing, and Jiang Yongying was merely a passerby in his high school life; there would be better choices in the future. One should not force what is not meant to be, so why should one make things difficult for oneself

It was a misallocation! In the end, it was still a misallocation

At this moment, the fat man had already lifted the cover off the dining cart, and the man in black suddenly tensed, retreating sharply.

"Dreamer, Ye Wen, Danger Level A, Sequence Ranking 37, truly a remarkable ability"

The man in black: "......"

Creak!

Interesting, you people from Guo Chen even gave Ye Wen a name on hetushu.com? Are you a mentor

You... you are the Lord of the Underworld

"Damn it, where did this person come from?" The young man cursed as he got out of the car. Upon seeing Ji Qianming lying on the ground, his expression changed drastically. He cautiously brought his hand close to Ji Qianming's nose, and then collapsed onto the ground, his face turning pale.

That is a black handgun

You are finished, little brother

As soon as Ji Qianming turned the corner, he began to run wildly, the bitterness swirling in the corners of his eyes, dissipating in the wind

Expert!

Having a beginning and an end, I suppose this can be considered having a beginning and an end as well, although it is not a good ending

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Everyone turned to look at Ji Qianming, who was holding a blue rose, with strange expressions on their faces

Ji Qianming supported himself on his knees with both hands, breathing heavily.

Upon hearing the overweight man casually expose his own abilities, the man in black showed no signs of surprise; instead, he regarded the other with considerable interest

The sound of the sports car's engine echoed once more as it sped away, leaving only the lifeless Ji Qianming lying alone on the ground, merging into the night.

The man in black turned pale, as if he had seen a ghost

Outside the door stands a man dressed as a waiter, with a stout build and a friendly expression reminiscent of illustrations, appearing endearingly clumsy, as he waits outside while pushing a dining cart.

After resting for a while, he finally began to survey his surroundings. There was not a single open shop along the unfamiliar street, and it was a long time before he even spotted a streetlight. It seemed he was nearing the suburbs; there were no taxis in sight, not even a ghostly shadow.

The stout man reached out to lift the lid while saying: "We have steamed lamb, steamed bear paws, steamed deer tails, and roasted flower duck..."

Sir, room service

The overweight man trembled as he held the cigarette, his face turning ashen as if he had eaten dirt, and he shot him a frustrated glare.

The woman was also quite frightened, unsure whether it was due to having killed someone or because of Hua Shao's threat, her bright red lips trembled as she nodded vigorously

Suddenly, a sports car sped over from the other side of the street. A young man dressed in extravagant attire was driving while embracing a seductive woman, his eyes occasionally glancing at her prominently elevated bosom

Ding dong

Between the three gunshots, there was almost no pause; three high-speed rotating bullets shot towards the man in black in a triangular formation, sealing off all his escape routes

They did not notice that a silvery light was quietly enveloping his chest, and one of the intricate patterns was slowly taking shape, ancient and mysterious

Oh?" The man in black raised an eyebrow, "What dishes do you have?"

A heavy safe fell to the ground, producing a dull sound

Having said that, he directly inserted the blue rose into the center of the ninety-nine roses. He then strode away, the entire action clean and swift, without any hesitation, exuding a hint of an extraordinary demeanor

You must have noted down the faces of all the waitstaff at this hotel in the scheduling area at the front desk, such trivial matters can be accomplished by anyone

Who is it

The man in black paused for a moment and slowly spoke: "What do you think?"

A male voice drifted in from outside the door, and the man in black furrowed his brow slightly. He slowly rose and crossed the luxurious living room, peering through the peephole to look outside

The sinister pistol glinted under the light, sending chills down one's spine. The overweight man toyed with the gun, gazing at the black-clad man whose murderous intent surged, smiling like a blooming chrysanthemum

The stout man took a deep breath, and his entire being became profound. Darkness spread from beneath his feet, engulfing all light and shadow. Instantly, the entire room felt as if it had plunged into an ice cave, an excruciating cold.

The crisp sound of the doorbell rang out, startling the man in black who was resting with his eyes closed on the sofa. A hint of alertness flickered in his cold gaze.

"Sir, this is a complimentary late-night snack from our Hyatt Hotel for the guests of the presidential suite," said the portly man as he pushed the cart into the room with a smile.

The harsh sound of tires grinding against the ground echoed in the night, followed by a dull thud. A frail boy soared through the air, rolling several times upon landing, and then lay motionless on the ground

Are you performing a comedic dialogue here? How can such a large plate hold so many dishes

The reaction of the man in black is quick, while the speed of the fat man is even faster

This expert... eh, do you know this lunatic?

"It's over, he's dead!" He muttered this a few times in a daze, then scrambled back to the car, giving the woman a slap.

"Hua Shao, there is someone ahead!" the woman suddenly shouted

Jiang Yongying gazed deeply at the departing figure of Ji Qianming, shook her head, and seemed lost in thought.

"No... how could such a high-end hotel possibly have such a fat waiter? Isn't that obvious?" The man in black chuckled in disbelief and spoke.

Jiang Yongying: "???"

"Hua Shao, Hua Shao! How are you?" came the voice of a woman from the car

"What do you think?" The fat man pulled a cigarette from his pocket, "Right, how did you guess that I am not a waiter?"

... ...

Dear friends and family

"It’s all your fault, you troublesome wretch!" He stared fiercely at the woman, "Forget everything that just happened, or you know what methods I am capable of!"

Among the ninety-nine bright red roses in her hand, a solitary blue rose stood out. As a gentle breeze passed by, a petal floated away, drifting into the distance

Ji Qianming pondered for two seconds: "I see that your flower-like face does not look very good, your temper is too strong. This blue rose can help reduce heat and inflammation, and it is just right to bring it to a harmonious conclusion, achieving a perfect outcome."

He swiftly reached for the pistol, raised his arm, aimed, and pulled the trigger in one fluid motion

The streets receded wildly before his eyes; he did not know how long he had been running or where he had run to, until he finally came to a slow stop, drenched in sweat and utterly exhausted

Damn it, what nonsense about having a beginning and an end? One shouldn't be reading those so-called motivational quotes. Don't you know your own worth? Must you embarrass yourself by dwelling on the past?

These two characters flashed through the mind of the man in black. He had no time to think further; a spiral pattern on the back of his hand shimmered, and a massive safe appeared out of thin air before him. The bullets struck the sturdy alloy door of the safe, sparking several flashes, and were immediately deflected elsewhere
