Shanghai's Grandeur: The Savior Begins by Listening to the Witch

Chapter 30 Arrogant and Reckless Behavior

Just then, Zhao Guanghua, Zhao Huibao, and Zhang Wanxin rushed out of the porch one after another.

They were all startled by the continuous gunfire, and were now deeply shocked by the three corpses lying on the ground.

What happened?

Everything was fine until now; the main force was about to depart...

Immediately after hearing Dong Guanfei's warning, they identified the perpetrator.

Moreover, Dong Guanfei's outfit today was very eye-catching—a black wide-brimmed hat, a white shirt, a handsome and crisp black leather jacket, straight-leg black trousers, high-top leather boots, and a long black wool coat.

A leather holster, ammunition pouches, and a precious sword hung from his wide belt, making his slender figure appear even more clean, neat, and dashing.

Dong Guanfei also noticed that the two women were dressed in light-colored long-sleeved tops, dark loose riding breeches, high-top leather boots, and thin veil hats, like a pair of sisters, with an overall style that was extremely heroic and dashing.

Zhao Guanghua and Zhang Wanxin both walked quickly towards Zhang Fubao, while Zhao Huibao ran straight to Dong Guanfei's side, "Wuqing, what's going on?"

Dong Guanfei shrugged. "Someone set their dog on someone, and the dog was killed."

Zhao Huibao blinked her big eyes, clearly a little confused.

dog?

That was clearly Sun Youwei, a general under Zhang Fubao!

The other two, although they had their heads blown off, were clearly silver-level experts who had come to apply for the guard position yesterday afternoon.

Dong Guanfei casually holstered his empty revolver and asked, "Miss Zhao, Zhang Fubao has been very hostile towards me from the beginning. He's one of your suitors, isn't he?"

Huh?!

Zhao Huibao blinked again; she had never seen any Xia clan member of her age speak so directly before.

If a stranger of the same age doesn't stammer or act flustered when they meet her, that's considered a good performance.

Zhang Fubao was indeed one of the four suitors tacitly approved by her family elders.

She didn't know how to answer for a moment.

"You don't seem to like him either. Do you want me to help you solve this problem? The price is negotiable."

Zhao Huibao was taken aback.

What's going on?

How do you know I don't like him?

and many more!

Is this "ruthlessness" such that they're even going to kill Zhang Fubao?!

Killing Sun Youwei, who wasn't born into the family, might have been a way to salvage the situation, but killing Zhang Fubao would have been a major disaster.

Even if Zhang Fubao is killed, the "ruthless" and lonely man will still not escape death.

How could such a handsome guy be so crazy?

Isn't he afraid of dying?

Zhao Huibao had always prided herself on being incredibly bold and daring, but at this moment she felt somewhat ashamed of herself.

For some reason, there was also a faint sense of excitement.

But... how could she possibly hire someone to kill Zhang Fubao?

"well......"

Dong Guanfei sighed deeply.

Despite his provocations, she didn't seem to get any action out of her; all that cleverness and mischief she has is wasted.

Does this mean a witch can only trigger one mission?

wrong!

Not necessarily.

It's been less than 24 hours since she triggered the mission yesterday. Let's try again in four hours.

"Ms. Zhao, shall our employment relationship continue?"

"Of course, it's a deal, you have to protect me for six days."

"Then you go over there and take care of this. It's settled then, even if you terminate this employment, it'll be considered that I've completed this transaction."

"This is my first mission with the Shadow Alliance, and I don't want to give up halfway. You must provide me with a mission completion certificate."

As soon as he finished speaking, Dong Guanfei picked up the cloth bag from the ground and strode towards the two bodies of silver members about ten meters away.

Zhao Huibao stared blankly at his back.

Ever since she became aware of things, no one has spoken to her in such an unquestionable, commanding tone.

Moreover, Dong Guanfei is definitely not acting; he really is that tough.

The three corpses on the floor spoke volumes, though silently.

An unprecedented and intense sense of novelty instantly overwhelmed her.

But... this is actually his first mission?

I met him on my first mission... Hmm... Not bad...

Could this be fate?

whee......

I have such good taste...

As Zhao Huibao was reveling in her own world, she saw Dong Guanfei wave away the other three Silver members, then squat down and swagger over to rummage through the corpse, throwing guns, ammunition, knives, cloth bags, money bags, and so on into the cloth bag.

He even took watches, necklaces, and rings!

He clearly looks like an unparalleled noble young master, but at this moment he looks like a seasoned bandit who has been killing and robbing for years!

It's their first mission, who are you trying to fool?

snort!

Who can do this so skillfully for the first time?

You little liar!

No, that's not right, he's a big liar!

Zhao Huibao complained bitterly, but the scene in front of her was so impactful that it was deeply imprinted in her mind.

She believes she will never forget it.

So this is what he's like... so "heartless"... I've truly witnessed it firsthand...

But... how come even the way this guy loots looks kind of nice?

Just then, out of the corner of her eye, she saw Wang Anyue activate a protective circle of earthen-yellow qi.

They were saying something confidential, so that no one else would overhear.

Zhao Huibao quickly walked over, and when she arrived, the protective aura circle spontaneously opened a gap, allowing her to walk in smoothly before closing again.

"Captain Wang witnessed it firsthand. Sun Youwei was only asked to go over to verify his identity when he was suddenly shot and killed by him."

"Moreover, he even killed two Silver members of the Shadow Alliance, and knocked the pistols out of the hands of three others. He was truly ruthless."

Zhang Fubao looked indignant, but a trace of fear still lingered in his eyes.

"Ruthless's" superb archery skills were secondary; he had seen people far more powerful than "Ruthless."

The main problem is that "ruthless" is audacious, arrogant, and seemingly unable to accept even the slightest grievance.

The key issue is that he is very likely to be targeted by such a powerful gunman in the future, and he will never have a peaceful day.

At this moment, Zhang Fubao's heart was filled with grievances and resentment.

He was a renowned connoisseur, famous in the antique world, and had handled countless national treasures and silver.

The family was also one of the top members of the "Eight Horses" and had the powerful warlord Qian Chuanzong as their backer.

It was just a test of an unknown nobody; how dare he immediately retaliate?

Could it be that this guy didn't notice there was a True Qi Master beside him?

Yes, he was far away and his understanding was not high, so it's normal that he couldn't distinguish Wang Anyue's level.

We absolutely cannot let "Ruthless" escape today. We must ask Wang Anyue to kill him, or at least cripple him!

Zhang Fubao secretly hardened his heart.

However, when Wang Anyue met Zhao Guanghua's probing gaze, his expression turned grave, and he uttered something that greatly surprised them:

"This person is indeed ruthless, but extremely powerful. I may not be able to defeat him."

"He looked me up and down as soon as he came in, and clearly noticed that I was different, otherwise he would not have stopped shooting at Young Master Zhang later."

"You should know that I concealed my aura, which shows how extraordinary this seemingly newly transformed youth is."

"Look at him now, does he seem even a little bit afraid?"
