Chapter 6 The Man in the Shadows

"Ah!" As the vagrant staggered towards the shadows, his leg was already slashed before even touching the person's body. He fell to the ground, covering his bleeding calf as he wailed in agony.

Despite being unable to see the person's face, the air was filled with a chilling murderous intent.

The vagrant, disregarding the pain, desperately tried to crawl away.

However, after moving a few times, a foot suddenly pressed down forcefully on his injured calf.

"Ah—" The vagrant cried out in pain once more as he looked up with widened eyes, shocked to see it was the woman from before.

"Get lost! Ah..." No matter how the vagrant struggled, Mo Jun kept stepping on him firmly, grinding his wound.

The vagrant was in so much pain that he almost passed out, fear crossing his face. He hadn't expected the fragile woman who had been under him just moments ago to now have such a ruthless side.

"Kill him." Suddenly, the man in the dark tossed a dagger over.

These words were clearly meant for Mo Jun.

His sudden command startled the vagrant, and the next second, he struggled to grab the dagger.

If he could get the dagger, he could kill these two people!

But as soon as he moved, Mo Jun stepped even harder on his wound with all her strength, causing the vagrant to let out another scream. He curled up, clutching his injured calf as if he were gasping his last breath.

Mo Jun took a few steps forward, picked up the dagger from the ground.

The next second, the sharp blade was already aimed at the vagrant's eyes.

And her gaze was frighteningly cold and dark.

"No, don't kill me, don't kill me," the vagrant pleaded in terror, staring at her, his whole body trembling unconsciously, "I didn't mean to do that to you, someone told me to do it. Don't take revenge on me, I'm innocent, please don't kill me..."

Out of fear, the already troubled mind of the vagrant blurted out everything.

Mo Jun was slightly startled, then a cold smile formed on her lips, "So, someone instructed you. Who was it?"

"I don't know, he gave me some money, told me to come here and find you, I really don't know who he is. Please don't kill me, I'll give you all the money..." the vagrant hastily started to dig out the money he had on him, with a smile that was both obsequious and disgusting.

Mo Jun thought back to how he had been on top of her just now.

If it hadn't been for his presence there, she would have been ruined by him in both her past and present life.

Even though he hadn't succeeded, his actions were unforgivable!

"Ah—" The vagrant was still fishing for the money, not expecting the woman in front of him to slash at his other leg without warning.

Her movement was decisive and smooth, and she precisely severed his tendon. The vagrant let out a scream and fainted from the extreme pain, but the piercing cry was enough to show how ruthless Mo Jun's strike was.

The man in the dark witnessed everything, but his eyebrows only raised slightly.

This woman, she was ruthless enough.

For some reason, he found it pleasantly to his taste...

Although she hadn't actually killed the vagrant, disabling his leg was almost more cruel than killing him. A vagrant with no ability to survive, now with a lame leg, would only have a more miserable life ahead.

"Not bad technique, have you trained?" The man in the shadows, with a voice that carried the composure and power of a superior, casually asked.

Mo Jun didn't answer; she just turned and stared at him unblinkingly.

Her gaze, under the pitch-black light, was even more inscrutable.
