Chapter 202: Uninvited
The assassin obviously didn't expect that he would actually miss, and he had been planning for so long, but fortunately, he was not one of those fledgling newcomers, and he knew that now was not the time to be reckless, although Marcus, who was traveling with Zhang Heng, didn't know where to be squeezed at this time.
However, Zhang Heng's status as the champion of the Flavi Amphitheater alone made the Assassin know that he had no chance of winning in a head-on battle, so he did not hesitate, and immediately turned around and ran after missing the blow.
He was still quite confident in his stealth ability, and almost every assassin had put a lot of effort into stealth, not only to quietly approach his target, but also to deal with the situation at hand.
And the assassin was running and creating more chaos in the crowd, from time to time he pushed this, or kicked that, he picked the kind of guy who looked very bad-tempered, and he was so stimulated by him that the anger immediately came up, but the assassin's small methods were very secretive, they couldn't find the initiator and had to sprinkle the anger on the people around them, so soon there were many people in the crowd who were scuffling together, and the scene became even more chaotic.
The assassin turned his head to look and found that Zhang Heng had not caught up, but just stood in place, looking at him quietly, which also made him breathe a sigh of relief.
However, he did not let his guard down, and after breaking away from the crowd, he plunged into the nearby alleys, passing through four alleys in one go, which slowed down a little, and then he quickly changed his clothes and walked out of the alley, pretending to be picking and picking customers in front of a small stall, and at the same time paying attention to the movements around him, and making sure that there were no more suspicious people around before standing up.
What he didn't notice, however, was that on the other side of the roof, a pair of eyes were watching him.
Zhang Heng didn't rush to make a move, because the guy below was obviously just a hired professional assassin and knew a limited amount of things, but in all fairness, his level was not bad, and he was estimated to be quasi-first-class among the assassins.
In terms of assassin skills, it is more powerful than the current Zhang Heng, of course, the potential of the two is not comparable, Zhang Heng's master is an old Persian trainer, one of the top assassins in the world, Zhang Heng just has not fully digested and mastered what Dadates gave him, but his advantage is not only the skills of the assassin, but he also carries the [Heart of Kleis], this thing is also very useful when tracking, and it will hardly make any noise.
Zhang Heng hung all the way behind the assassin, wanting to see who he would contact next.
The other party prepared for such a long time, but in the end it missed, obviously he needed to give an explanation to the employer.
As a result, Zhang Heng saw the assassin walk into a laundry, Zhang Heng knew that it belonged to the territory of a small force, and the other party had also joined the alliance of the anti-patrol team, and it was a more radical faction, and had always advocated the use of violent means to curb the development of the patrol.
However, Zhang Heng didn't make any action when he saw this, and then he waited for about a quarter of an hour for the assassin to come out of it, and it was the boss of the small force who personally sent him out, and Zhang Heng waited for the target to walk for a considerable distance before he followed again from a distance.
If it was someone else, he might have been deceived by the hand just now, thinking that the mastermind behind the assassination was the boss of the laundry, but Zhang Heng was also half of his peers, and he had learned about the working mode of the assassins in Rome from the old Persian trainer.
Excluding those who are not in the stream, the Assassins generally have a liaison who will help them solicit business, negotiate with their employers, negotiate the price, and then the liaison will tell the target to the Assassins under his command, and after completing the task, the liaison can take a part of the Assassin's remuneration as his own reward, and the proportion is about one to two percent.
This was done to protect the employer, even if the Assassin on the mission was caught by mistake, it would not be possible to reveal who was behind the scenes, and secondly, it could also protect the Assassin and prevent the employer from killing people after using the Assassin.
And this guy who dared to attack him has good strength, obviously he is not a small fish and shrimp found casually, there is no reason to contact the employer in person, and it is after a mistake.
Therefore, Zhang Heng also showed patience, and followed the target around for about half an hour, before the assassin walked into a butcher's shop.
The owner of the butcher's shop, apparently knowing him, didn't ask him what he wanted to buy when he came over, and after making sure that there were no suspicious figures behind him, he opened the side door and let him in, until the assassin walked into the backyard, he took off all his guard and vigilance, and complained, "What kind of job did you give me?" ”
A blind Samaritan there was shaking a bag of gold coins, and when he heard a beautiful voice coming from inside, he raised his head when he heard this, "Champion of the Flavi Amphitheater, didn't you say that there is no problem, but I asked for three hundred gold coins on the other side of this order, and you will probably be able to retire after the deed is completed, and I can make a lot of money, how about it, tell me quickly that you have completed the task!" The Samaritan's eye showed eagerness.
"Unfortunately, this time I brought you bad news, I missed." The assassin shook his head.
"How is it possible, you are the best assassin under me, and didn't you say that the gladiatorial champion or something is just strong in frontal combat, and there is no difference between ordinary people in front of you?!" The Samaritans seemed to have some difficulty accepting the bad news.
"I don't know, I don't know how he dodged my mortal stab, and he then took the dagger from my hand, which makes me feel bad," the Assassin hesitated, "I seem to be able to smell a hint of the same kind from him." ”
"What, are you also from the distant and mysterious East?" The One-Eyed Samaritan asked.
"I'm not talking about the origin, but for a moment I thought he was an assassin too."
"You think he's an assassin too? And then put a good assassin and run to be a gladiator? The Samaritan's eyes widened.
"I know it sounds a little unbelievable, forget it...... Maybe it's my delusion. "And I dumped him when I came back, and I showed him a scene before that." ”
As a result, before he could finish his sentence, he saw the Samaritan on the other side widen his eyes, as if he had seen a ghost.
So the assassin also turned around, followed his gaze, and saw Zhang Heng standing by the wall.
"I hear you guys talking about me, and I happen to have a few questions to ask, so please forgive me for being uninvited."
