CHAPTER 12
BAKNik, PRIEST OF AMMON Memphis was growing more rapidly than ever. Almost half a million inhabitants at the last census, and already the optimists predicting a million by the next. Menni noticed the changes as he passed along rapidly on foot. As usual, when making an excursion through the city, unofficial and more or less secret, he had put on a heavy wig of curled hair and a frankly false beard which swung pendulous under his chin. He carried no insignia of rank, was unaccompanied, might merely…-

“Want me to teach you a few moves? Next time someone bullies you, you’ll be able to protect yourself.” Her eyes were as clear as the sea, the corners crinkling with a smile. Rain pelted my face, chilling me to the bone. “That hitman was so cool. He never betrayed his dignity, even at the end. That’s a real man.” There were faint bite marks on her soda straw as she looked at me with admiration. Blood kept pouring from my chest. Jiang Shan was a terrifying monster—his final stab…-

The Wenlian Financial Group’s central tower was heavily guarded. If it hadn’t been for Wen yuan’s intelligence and inside help, there’s no way I could have slipped in so easily. The fiftieth floor was the chairman’s office. At the door stood professional bodyguards hired from overseas. It took me two minutes to silently take them out. Taking a deep breath, I pushed open the jet-black, bulletproof steel door. The office was huge. A young man sat at the desk, head down, reading documents.…

“Let’s have dinner after work tomorrow. I heard there’s a great Thai place,” Ye Qing said, standing at the door with a little white umbrella. Tomorrow would be the hundredth bouquet—the day we agreed to start dating, the day I’d end my life as a hitman and begin a new chapter. “Don’t order anything too expensive—I’m broke,” I teased. “Cheapskate.” Ye Qing smiled, her dimples showing. “Don’t be late. I hate men who are late.” Her graceful figure disappeared into…

It was like an addiction— Wen Yuan’s bloodlust grew by the day. At first, it was one job every two weeks, then once a week, and now almost daily. Watching his targets die in despair became his favorite pastime. “Mr. Ray, you have to take care of this one immediately. Every second this scum lives is an insult to justice,” Wen Yuan thundered, slamming a newspaper in front of me. A high school math teacher, accused of sexually assaulting a student and blackmailing her into silence, driving…

“What were you just thinking about? You’ve been out of it all evening.” Ye Qing handed me a Coke. “Oh, maybe the movie was just too boring. Made me sleepy,” I said, scratching my head and forcing a smile. We’d been training in the park when it started pouring, so we ran to a nearby mall for shelter. The rain showed no sign of stopping, so Ye Qing suggested we watch a movie. Maybe it was just my imagination, but I felt like she was interested in me. She’d been waiting at the shop for me…

This time, the target was Fang Lei, a professional “fake-buster.” He made a living preying on small businesses, picking out flaws in their products and threatening to report them unless they paid him off. This time, the news had blown up, and netizens were even doxing his address. To lay low, Fang Lei was hiding out at his mistress’s apartment. “Baby, change your stockings. I’ll be out in three minutes…” he called out from the bathroom, humming a tune. The provocatively dressed woman in…

At midnight, I had everything ready. I woke the target with a splash of cold water. We were in an underground warehouse on the outskirts of town, forty kilometers from the nearest city. The caretaker only came twice a year. In a two-square-meter iron cage, the target was handcuffed to a metal post. Next to him was a huge pet dog. “Who are you? What do you want?” The target struggled, the cuffs clanking against the bars. I pulled out a newspaper and read the article aloud, then showed him a…

“Did those guys ever come back to bother you?” Officer Ye Qing’s voice pulled me back to reality. She wasn’t on duty today, dressed in a sleek black tracksuit that made her skin look even fairer. Ye Qing, twenty-three this year, graduated from the police academy just last year and, according to neighborhood gossip, still didn’t have a boyfriend. With skills like hers, most guys would probably steer clear. No wonder she’s still single. “What are you smiling at?” Ye Qing knocked on…

“Zhou Ming, you’re slacking off again!” A playful voice snapped me out of my thoughts. Wang Yiyi, in a crisp white shirt and a neat ponytail, looked at me with a hint of annoyance in her eyes. “I’m not! I’m just checking if these books are in order,” I replied with a cheeky grin. “Yeah, right. You’re a guy—how can you always leave the cleaning to me?” “Because you’re cute.” “Just wait till the boss gets back—I’ll have him dock your pay.” Yiyi huffed and ran…
