“You actually dared to come here all alone, you’ve got balls.” The woman’s voice came from the shadows. It was Amanda. Her distinct voice was particularly hoarse and sexy in the dark.

Qi Leren hid behind the car without saying a word.

These two women must’ve seen his flaws, but they didn’t do anything at the bar. After all, they also have to consider the impact if they do it in public. After following him to the parking lot and finding out that he had no one with him, the two made a quick decision.

“Thought your partner would come along with you, where are they? Could it be that you two haven’t met yet?” Amanda inquired.

Why does this woman talk so much? Qi Leren criticized her in his heart, and suddenly shivered——she was deliberately attracting his attention!

As for the reason, you don’t even have to think about it. Of course, it’s because she has her partner, Luna. Right now she must be sneaking around where he can’t see, planning to attack him from a different direction! From where he’s hiding, only shots from the front can be blocked, where will Luna come from? Once she finds a good spot, he’ll be exposed to the gun.

Qi Leren was drenched in cold sweat, he just hated how he couldn’t use the SL skill.

No, he can’t keep relying on this kind of thing. The prophet already told him that his soul’s condition is at risk. Every time he uses that skill, he’ll strike a crack in his soul. His soul’s condition might get better after condensing his half-field, but if he keeps using the skill…. he’ll either get injured or die.

Qi Leren calmed himself down and raised his voice: “What makes you sure that he’s not behind you right now?”

Taking advantage of the short moment when Amanda looked around in a daze, Qi Leren laid on the ground and quietly moved to the back of another car two meters away.

“If he was behind me, he would’ve shot already.” Amanda came back to her senses and realized that she’d been tricked. She was gritting her teeth in anger.

Qi Leren didn’t reply again. He’d changed his hiding place three times in a row without stopping, and finally laid down under a truck, staring at the gap under the vehicle.

“Take a guess, how did we find you?” Amanda spoke again, this time her tone was harsher.

Qi Leren didn’t answer. The fact that he’d changed positions would be revealed as soon as he opened his mouth. But actually, he was also thinking about this, how’d they find out?

After thinking about it, the biggest possibility is that Luna was prepared.

An assassin was stalking her before. Even though she or Amanda killed them, she also found out that it wasn’t a player, but an NPC. However, she realized that “someone intended to kill her”, and it’s most likely the Irish mafia’s doing.

If Qi Leren was in Luna’s position, what would he do?

Of course, by asking my partner who has a special position in the Irish mafia to help investigate. Although Amanda’s only a mistress, but she’s the mistress of the leader, Louis. While Louis is in prison, she still has the right to enter and leave the acting leader’s office, so it’s not hard to figure out David’s plan.

Knowing that she was on a hit list, Luna was bound to be wary of everyone who came close to her.

Thus, no matter how good Qi Leren’s disguise is, it’s useless in front of two wary targets. They’d rather mistakenly kill him than let him get away and worry about his existence for days.

However Amanda probably didn’t recognize him. After all, the two of them had only met once, otherwise she would’ve called out his name and threw him into a panic.

“Your hands. Even though your outfit really resembled it, those hands that weren’t involved in production sold you out. A truck driver who’s busy loading and unloading things wouldn’t have such hands.” Amanda said.

Qi Leren then realized that this was the case.

The body he’s in right now is a professional assassin, so his hands are well maintained——after all, he’s an artsy youth who likes poetry. Judging from the home interior, there’s a feeling that he’s not very close with other people. Except for the calluses on his right hand that holds the gun, the skin on other parts are delicate and definitely doesn’t look like the hands of a laborer.

Qi Leren analyzed himself in his heart, and suddenly saw feet walking ten meters away, two cars away from him.

The chassis (1) of the two cars in front weren’t high. Qi Leren, who was lying under the truck, stared closely at the feet.

It must be Luna. She took off her high heels, and is now bare-footed while hunching over and feeling out his original position, ready to give him a fatal blow!

Qi Leren laid on the ground, slowly crawled out of the truck’s chassis, then laid sideways on the ground. Holding his breath, he aimed at those slender ankles——bang!

With a scream, Luna fell to the ground and rolled around while hugging her injured ankle.

Bang, bang, bang….

It was hard to aim properly after that. All the shots that Qi Leren fired by feeling missed. By then Luna had already recovered and realized where the enemy was. Amanda also came back to her senses, and now she’s approaching them!

Should he deal with the two of them and try to eliminate them in one fell swoop, or should he retreat first and deal with them another time (2)?

In just a few seconds, there were several thoughts in Qi Leren’s mind, and he eventually decided——retreat.

Currently, Amanda and Luna’s player identities are already exposed, but his real identity hasn’t been exposed yet. The enemy’s clear but he’s still concealed, which is advantageous for him. He doesn’t need to be in a hurry to decide the winner.

Luna dragged her injured leg and hid behind the wheel, so did Qi Leren. Amanda quickly found out where he is based on the gunshots just now, so he doesn’t have much time left.

Gotta go, Qi Leren said to himself.

Now he can’t even reload, because even the slightest noise can let Amanda know where he is.

In the eerie silence, all three of them were slowly changing their positions, until….

“Oh dear, it’s so dark in here, can’t they turn on the lights?” An affected female voice sounded in the distance.

“I wish they did too, but it’s not romantic in the dark, right?” (3) The man chuckled and hugged the woman, then the two actually started making out in the parking lot where the shooting took place not too long ago.

The hell, did they not hear the gunshots just now? You guys deaf or what?!

Qi Leren’s heart crumbled.

This unexpected situation caused the three of them to fall into an awkward silence. Qi Leren knew that his two enemies are moving, so he must be faster than them, and he must not fall into their field of vision. Otherwise, he would have to fall into passiveness since he can’t reload at the moment.

The nearest bushes are still seven or eight meters away. Qi Leren is conflicted, he’s not sure whether he’s gonna be too loud when crossing the bushes or not.

“You heartless bastard, you actually didn’t come to see me for so long.” The woman giggled and flirted with the man.

“Darling, I thought you already forgot about me, but did those young and handsome men captivate you?” The man asked.

The woman smiled: “They’re just guests.”

“Don’t talk about them, I hate them.” The man said, displeased.

“I only love you, darling.”

The two kissed again. This cheesy conversation between the prostitute/girl and the patron made Qi Leren frantically stand up with goosebumps.

A car happened to drive into the parking lot and parked beside the bushes. Qi Leren took advantage of the moment when the engine could cover up the sound and quickly reloaded his gun, while moving towards the bushes not far away.

But when Qi Leren left the car’s cover and was about to climb over the low bushes, the feeling of being bitten by a poisonous insect on the back of his next struck again, so he turned around.

In the dim light, Amanda crouched behind a vehicle not far away from him, the cold gun in her hand was pointed at him.

In the darkness, she showed a winning smile.

Bang.

A shot sounded.

A man and a woman screamed and ran.

【The King of Hearts is out. 】

Translator’s Notes:

For those who don’t know, a chassis is the base frame of a motor vehicle or other wheeled conveyance.来日方长, Chinese idiom meaning “there’s still many days ahead of us”, implicating to not rush something. I translated it to fit the context better.I genuinely don’t get this one, the sentence just feels off but it’s the only way to translate it….Just to remind you guys, Leren is the Queen of Spades.

Hello… here’s a new chapter.. it’s pretty short I’m sorry. I feel like I did a pretty bad job on this one, since I still struggle with narrations and action scenes.. so, feedbacks are appreciated! Thank you for being patient always [smiley face + bow].
