Chapter 15 Assassination Officially Begins

The moment Gu Fei pushed him out the window, Piaoliu's heart had already clenched. Hearing him shout that, his heart was as cold as ash. How could Piaoliu not know who Apple Vinegar was, the most dazzling star in Xiawu City? Being mistaken for Apple Vinegar could only mean a bad end.

Thinking this, Piaoliu struggled to turn his head and look down, but immediately felt relieved.

Up at the window, Gu Fei was also feeling regret. Because there were too many people below, and the sounds of battle were deafening, Gu Fei's shout from the third floor didn't cause any reaction at all. The players below continued to focus on their fighting. The roar from just one person was enough to drown out Gu Fei's casual shout.

No one noticed Piaoliu, who fell straight to the ground. The guard squad room was only on the third floor, not enough to kill him, but it did startle the surrounding players. What kind of alien species was this sudden visitor from the sky?

Taking advantage of the moment, Piaoliu got up, dusted himself off, and received a message from Gu Fei: "Looks like you're lucky."

"Damn it!!" Piaoliu covertly gave Gu Fei the middle finger towards the third-floor window, turned around, and limped away. The players in the midst of the great battle wondered who this person was, and no one went up to attack Piaoliu. After hesitating for a few seconds, they finally realized that they were in the middle of a battle, how could they stop fighting so tacitly with the enemy? So, both sides tacitly resumed their fight.

Back on the third floor, after taking care of Piaoliu, Gu Fei sat back on the sofa, waiting for the time to come, while carefully observing Giordano, hoping to find something unnatural in his actions. As a result, Giordano was just standing and talking, how could there be anything unnatural?

The time finally came, and Giordano began his patrol activity on time. Gu Fei quickly stood up and sent messages to Jian Gui and Xi Yao Wu: "Target has begun to move..."

Following closely behind Giordano, he went out, downstairs, to the gate. Giordano pushed open the gate and slowly walked out. Gu Fei was not in a hurry, hiding behind the door and peering outside. For him, the more he exposed himself in the courtyard, the more dangerous it would be. Anyway, he wouldn't walk as slowly as Giordano. Using his speed, he could start later.

Paying attention to Giordano's speed and the time, Gu Fei finally sneaked out of the administrative hall, carefully advancing while watching out for the surrounding movements. Finally, when Giordano stepped out of the range Gu Fei had predicted, Gu Fei sent a message to Jian Gui: "Close it!!"

"Okay!" Jian Gui replied immediately.

"Run quickly, come out like this, like that... and then find a chance to stealth." Gu Fei passed on his treacherous tricks to Jian Gui. Gu Fei wasn't too worried about Jian Gui needing to rush out alone later, because the fog would have mostly formed by then, and it would be relatively easy for Jian Gui to hide.

The air in the courtyard really began to change, gradually becoming thicker at a rate visible to the naked eye. The players who had been focused on the battle now began to notice it.

"What's going on?" Everyone wondered. But Gu Fei couldn't care about that anymore, he was already sprinting at full speed.

"Get ready!!" Gu Fei sent a message to Xi Yao Wu.

The fog would be completely formed in 35 seconds, and Gu Fei had given himself 20 seconds to catch up with Giordano.

"Arrived!!!" The moment Giordano stepped into the assassination location, the fog was completely formed, and the visibility was as low as in the wild. Gu Fei had also arrived right behind Giordano. After a reasonable calculation, everything was so perfect at this moment. But then Gu Fei almost fainted, because something outside his calculations had happened: they were surrounded.

A large group of people rushed out of the fog, all from the Misty Flowers Guild. They had seen Gu Fei approaching Giordano and pointed their knives, shouting, "What the hell are you doing!!!"

Miscalculated!! Gu Fei cursed inwardly. He had overlooked a very important point: at this moment of attack, how could the Misty Flowers Guild players not focus on defending Giordano? They would know Giordano's movements even better than he did. They had probably been on guard since Giordano appeared, but the fog had disrupted their rhythm, so they arrived a little late. They couldn't match Gu Fei's precise calculations, otherwise, he probably would have been eliminated before he could even get close.

Gu Fei's guess was correct. The Misty Flowers Guild had indeed been prepared for Giordano's patrol, but there was a dispute over how to defend him. Some people thought that the enemy might not know that this NPC was an important character for issuing tasks and choose him as a target. So, such a heavy defense would give them away. It would be better to be bold and pretend to ignore him, letting the enemy carefully avoid him like other guards. Others thought this idea was too bold and couldn't be sure that the other side didn't have this information. Perhaps they were already waiting for Giordano to appear and then swarm him!

In the face of disagreement, a win-win solution was finally introduced: protect him secretly.

When Giordano showed up, don't rush to surround him and protect him in a crowd. Instead, a part of the force was dispatched to follow him at a distance after Giordano appeared. If they found anything unusual, they would react. If nothing happened, then naturally, nothing would happen.

The truth that ultimately happened was: no hostile guilds were found to have taken any action. And Gu Fei, the assassin, actually kept his distance from Giordano, even farther than these protectors. So, they didn't guard against Gu Fei either. When Gu Fei began to sprint, it was already the fog stage. Under the cover of the fog, Gu Fei perfectly arrived next to Giordano. These bodyguards were a little late to realize what was going on. When they discovered the fog, they realized that something was wrong and suddenly approached, but they were naturally a step slower than Gu Fei, who was prepared and faster.

"Don't come any closer!!!" Gu Fei's sword was now on Giordano's neck again. Gu Fei felt ashamed to use the same trick twice.

"It's you again!!!" Some people had already recognized Gu Fei. They had fallen for the same trick twice and could only feel more ashamed and collapsed than Gu Fei. However, they still didn't dare to move.

"Four minutes, only four minutes left!!!" Gu Fei cried out in his heart. Every second was precious now. It was heartbreaking to waste time like this with these guys, but if he let go and attacked now, these guys would definitely swarm him and he wouldn't be able to handle it!

What to do? Gu Fei couldn't think of a solution for a while and could only regret that the plan wasn't thorough enough. But at this moment, suddenly another guard rushed out of the fog and ran to Giordano. Giordano also stopped and said in a deep voice, "What's going on!"

"It seems that the moisture absorber has been damaged," the guard replied.

"Go and check it immediately!" Giordano ordered in a deep voice.

"Yes!" The guard took the order and ran away.

Did the plot trigger? Gu Fei stared blankly at the NPC interaction in front of him. A hostage who was being held by him was actually so calm and orderly in directing things. What was going on? However, he wasn't wrong on this point. If Jian Gui was still in the underground cave at this time, he would definitely be captured. It was only regrettable that the estimate of the players was insufficient, and such an out-of-control situation had occurred.

"What should we do?" Xi Yao Wu messaged, asking. Gu Fei could feel that she was right beside him, but what should they do? Gu Fei also wanted to ask this question.

"Boy, you have no chance to kill Giordano in this situation. Just leave, we won't make it difficult for you." Someone began to persuade Gu Fei.

But before Gu Fei could answer, suddenly there was a commotion in the rear of the encirclement, and the crowd quickly became chaotic. This was clearly not just one or two people being attacked, but the entire encirclement being attacked. This was obviously organized.

It's their hostile guild! Gu Fei flashed this thought in his mind. Seeing these guys had already begun to turn around to face the enemy, and Gu Fei's precious four minutes had already been wasted, he couldn't hesitate any longer.

"Move!" Gu Fei shouted to Xi Yao Wu, who was in the air beside him, and then smoothly slashed Giordano with the sword he was holding.

At this moment, Gu Fei was still a little nervous! Because this task was, after all, something he had come up with in his mind. What if this Giordano was actually like some ordinary business NPCs, and couldn't be attacked? Then everything would be in vain.

Fortunately, Gu Fei's greatest worry didn't happen. This sword strike was extremely neat. At the same time as being attacked, Giordano quickly turned around and punched him. Gu Fei dodged, and Giordano had already drawn his sword, with an angry expression on his face. A sword was already coming down on his head.

Gu Fei dodged, and then returned a sword. He didn't use magic, he hoped to use high damage in this place after seeing Giordano's weakness. Xi Yao Wu also made a move at this time. She had already been hidden behind Giordano and stabbed him hard with a backstab. And she reacted extremely quickly, and flashed away as soon as she finished stabbing.

Xi Yao Wu's damage was super high. In game terms, this knife generated a lot of aggro. Giordano turned around and chased after her. Xi Yao Wu used her speed to circle around, and Giordano couldn't do anything to her for a while. But Gu Fei was complaining endlessly. More than ten seconds had been wasted in this blink of an eye. Now he had to find out the weakness through fighting. What could he see from this chasing and running?

"Wait and then attack!" Gu Fei shouted at Xi Yao Wu, and then had to go up and release a Twin Flame Flash ultimate move, high damage output, followed by continuous attacks to harass him. Over there, Xi Yao Wu was just running foolishly, and Giordano's attention finally shifted back to Gu Fei.

Giordano is very strong! Gu Fei could already feel it. Fortunately, he didn't have the perverted speed of the Misty Shadow Assassin, and Gu Fei could calmly dodge his attacks. However, so far he had only used ordinary stabs and chops. As a Boss, he would eventually have some ultimate moves. When the ultimate move appeared, could he dodge it? Or rather, when the ultimate move appeared, would it be the moment when Giordano revealed his weakness?
