My Special Ability Is Perfect Replication Chapter 47 - Hired Killer, Killed Instead

Chapter 47 - Hired Killer, Killed Instead

"Why don't you ask Hades then!"

A surging gravitational force suddenly came cras.h.i.+ng down, covering a radius of several meters in an instant. However, the lazy-looking young man seemed to be prepared and had somehow disappeared.

"You are not my match!"

The voice of the lazy-looking young man echoed all around him. "You cannot surpa.s.s the gap between our levels. You will die by my blade today and become a dead soul!"

"Go ahead and try!" Ling Jiu sneered.

Woooos.h.!.+

The next moment, a cold light appeared out of nowhere and slashed at his throat again. The sharp blade seemed to pierce the void and suddenly stretched out from it.

"You couldn't kill me during the first strike, and you're doing the same trick again? Hilarious!"

Ling Jiu increased his gravity output.

Baaaam!!

A gravitational force of 8G's suddenly enveloped an area with a radius of several dozen meters, and everything within its range was under a pressure that was eight times its own weight.

The flowers and the trees...

The ground and the buildings...

Everything... was under 8G gravity!

"What powerful gravity!"

A terrifying sound rang out in a corner as there was a violent gasp followed by the crunching sound of bones being crushed.

"Found you!"

Crack!!

A b.l.o.o.d.y arrow rushed out, and the lazy-looking young man immediately reappeared. His c.h.e.s.t was sunken, and his face turned pale.

"In my gravity field, there's nowhere for you to hide!" Ling Jiu looked at the other person. "If I'm not wrong, your Arcana is Invisibility, right?"

"This terrifying gravity... You're a Level 4 Arcanist?" The lazy-looking young man stared at Ling Jiu, his eyes bloodshot. He knew he was done for!

A Level 4 Arcanist!

That was not someone he could fight against!

"You're not stupid after all!"

Ling Jiu walked over, step by step. "Talk, who sent you to kill me?"

"You think I'll betray my employer?"

The lazy-looking young man coughed out blood.

"Oh, I think you will!"

Ling Jiu cracked his neck. "Even if you don't want to say it, I still have ways to make you speak. The methods will be cruel, though, and be beyond your ability to withstand!

"Oh, by the way, just to remind you, I'm an employee of Pangu Arcana Combine. We have many capable folks in Pangu, like those who can search souls!"

The lazy-looking young man's expression changed, and he suddenly attempted to cut his own throat.

Ling Jiu sneered and grabbed the young man's wrist like a bolt of lightning. A light tug and a crack later, the young man's wrist was broken, and the sharp blade fell onto the ground.

"Right, there's also your chin!"

Ling Jiu remembered something again as he clasped the young man's chin and gave it a tug. The young man screamed as his lower jaw was dislocated.

"Now, even if you have venom fangs or sacs in your mouth, you won't be able to kill yourself any longer!" Ling Jiu clapped his hands, satisfied with his own alertness.

...

The lazy-looking young man was on the verge of despair. Are you the killer or am I the killer? Why are you much more experienced than me?!

"Let's talk. Who hired you? Be truthful, and I'll make your death an easy one. Otherwise, I won't mind letting you go through the Qing Dynasty's Ten Great Tortures!" Ling Jiu said faintly.

The lazy-looking young man remained silent for a long while before he said, "The GM of Yang Group, Yang Yuting hired me to kill you. He's placed a 100 million yuan bounty on your head!"

"Sure enough, it's him!"

Ling Jiu narrowed his eyes slightly. "Only a 100 million yuan bounty on my head? Is my life that cheap? This p.i.s.ses me off!"

"Your profile only states that you're a Level 2 Arcanist!" the lazy-looking young man said.

"That's the price for all Level 2 Arcanists, or else I wouldn't have taken the risk to a.s.sa.s.sinate you!"

"By the way, why are you suddenly so chirpy?" Ling Jiu asked with interest. "Weren't you willing to die without talking earlier?"

"I don't want to be Soulsearched!" the lazy-looking young man said solemnly. "Make it quick!"

"I'll do that. Help Yang Yuting say 'hi' to Hades for me. I'll send him down there to meet Hades soon enough!"

...

"Yang Yuting, you're a dead man!"

Ling Jiu looked to the east with murderous intent in his eyes. "I'll make sure that you know what kind of horrible consequences await you for crossing me!"

"Brother, you're back!"

"Xiaotong, you're off school!"

Ling Jiu reached out and hugged his sister with a smile on his face.

"Yes, just finished school today!"

Ling Xiaotong bobbed her tiny head with a grievance in her heart. "Brother, you've been away for so long, do you know how much I've missed you?"

"Hahaha, I've missed you too! Let's go back and chill! See, I've brought so many delicious foods today. I'll make it up to you later!"

"That's right! You need to cook by yourself today, though!"

"As long as you can eat it..."

When the siblings entered the villa, Ling Jiu found that his father was not at home and could not help but wonder. "Xiaotong, where's Dad?"

"Dad recently got another batch of investments and opened a transportation company. He should be in the office right now!" Xiaotong explained.

"A new company again?" Ling Jiu sighed. "Dad sure isn't resting on his laurels!"

"I know right!"

"Xiao Jiu, you're back?"

At that moment, his dad also returned home. The moment he saw Ling Jiu in the living room, a smile appeared on his face. "It's good that you're back!"

"Yeah, I'm home!"

"You must be hungry. Your dad will cook for you right now!"

"Dad, I'll help!"

"Me too!"

With the three putting in the hard work, dinner was soon on the table. As Ling Jiu ate the delicious food, he felt particularly warm on the inside. It was a feeling of home.

"Dad, how is the company doing?" Ling Jiu asked casually.

Hearing his son mention this, Ling Tianci could not help but reveal a smile on his face. "After busying myself for the past few days, everything is now well prepared. The first s.h.i.+pment will officially start tomorrow!"

"Is it going well?"

"Well enough! The employees are previous old-timers, so everyone knows each other, and it's much easier to direct them than newcomers. Plus, the current funds I have are still sufficient, so everything has gone smoother than expected!"

"That's good to hear!"

Seeing that his father had swept away the doom and gloom from before, Ling Jiu felt extremely happy. "I wish you success in advance and all the best!"

"Hahaha, thank you, Son. I'm honored by your blessing!"

"Dad, there's something that I need to tell you and Xiaotong!"

"What's the matter? It sounds serious."

Ling Tianci and Xiaotong looked surprised.

"I'm already a Level 4 Arcanist!" Ling Jiu said as he looked at both of them.

"A Level... Level 4 Arcanist?"

Both Ling Tianci, as well as Xiaotong, shuddered, and the expressions on their faces were particularly colorful. There was shock at first, then disbelief, elation, and relief.

"Brother, have you really become a Level 4 Arcanist?"

Xiaotong's beautiful eyes were s.h.i.+ning with a brilliant gleam.

"Yeah, I reached it two days ago!" Ling Jiu nodded slightly.

"A Level 4 Arcanist! There aren't many Level 4 Arcanists in Lantian Base City, right?" Ling Tianci gasped.

"More or less!"

Ling Jiu continued, "In view of my strength and extremely fast progress, the company has given me two options!"

"Which two?"

"The first one is to stay in Lantian Base City and become the a.s.sistant General Manager of the branch company!"

"a.s.sistant General Manager?"

Ling Tianci opened his mouth wide in surprise, so much so that one could fit an egg in it.

An a.s.sistant General Manager of Pangu?

His son was already that incredible?
