James Grind remembered the content that was supposed to be his mission. He reread the content on his smartwatch again. "Hnn… mission of the day, try to assassinate Master Long in his training ground, Master Long likes to train with a sword, and he is proficient in sword fighting."

Suddenly, James Grind felt the hair on his nape stood when a warm breath tickled his nape. "Whaaaa!" James Grind jolted when a strong arm engulfed his body. He looked up and saw a tall and handsome man hugging him from behind.

"What are you doing right now?" Long Zhen asked with a gentle smile on his face. He glanced at James Grind's smartwatch and nodded virtuously. "Hm… indeed, I do like sword and sword fighting. Do you want to assassinate me in the training ground? That's a good idea. I am usually very unguarded there because I'm usually topless."

James Grind shivered when he felt Long Zhen's hard chest basically covered this whole back. "R—Release me!" James Grind struggled.

Long Zhen laughed lightly and released James Grind from his embrace.

James Grind hurriedly set up his smartwatch to snipe Long Zhen with a taser gun. But he accidentally set up the wrong one, and there was an error on his smartwatch. James Grind became busy with his smartwatch and scratched his head when he didn't know how to set it up again.

[Pupa, can you help me here? I don't know what did I do wrong.]

[Pupa: You are pressing the reset button for too long. You have to wait until the smartwatch finishes restarting.]

Thus, James Grind waited until the smartwatch restarting. Long Zhen walked behind James Grind and peeked. "What are you doing right now?"

"Ah, I'm just waiting for the smartwatch to restart. I accidentally pressed a wrong button or something…" James Grind said. "Please wait patiently, Master Long."

"How could that be? If I am your enemy, I would be attacking you first, like this!" Long Zhen tickled James Grind's waist suddenly.

"Wahaha! Wahaha! No fair, don't tickle me!" James Grind struggled, trying to release himself from Long Zhen's tickle attack. Actually, Long Zhen could do this for ages, but James Grind's face was already so red, so he spared him.

James Grind was breathing heavily on the ground, feeling humiliated after Long Zhen's tickle attack. He also felt humiliated since Long Zhen never took him seriously. He glared at Long Zhen after that. "Master Long! I'm here trying to assassinate you! Please take it seriously!"

Long Zhen sighed helplessly. He rubbed James Grind's hair and said, "Well, you will also need a lot of training to assassinate me successfully, okay? Now, you should accompany me to a meeting with my rival."

"Rival? You mean…" James Grind gulped when he remembered about Huang Shu. It had been a week since that charity party. Huang Shu mysteriously got his number, probably by bribing the Director again, just like Long Zhen.

And Huang Shu kept on calling him. It was almost like a terror.

"Yes, Huang Shu. I have a deal with him, so my trade can go smoothly in his area for once," Long Zhen said. He seemed to have sensed James Grind's thought. "Why are you nervous, Mister Grind. I thought you are a bonafide spy. To face an enemy like this, you should be well prepared, right?"

"I—I am!" James Grind yelled. He buffed his chest proudly and continued, "I will make sure that you are safe! Nobody will assassinate you in the meeting!"

"Huh? I thought my death is your goal?" Long Zhen grinned. "I guess you've been slowly falling in love with me, huh?"

"N—Not true! N—No one is allowed to kill you except me!" James Grind puffed his cheek, which made Long Zhen's heart beating faster.

[Pupa: Ding! Fatemeter increases to 40%. Sometimes, I feel like you have a cheat code to fill this Fatemeter. Please don't use cheat code, or I will report this to the headquarter.]

[If I can use cheat code, I will use it for my Breakmeter! I don't know why is Long Zhen so affectionate. Maybe I'm just that gorgeous, sexy, mesmerizing and refreshing. So he just falls in love with me like rain in the summer~ ehe.]

[Pupa:… huh? What did you talk about just now? I accidentally used my deafen button.]

[… nevermind.]

Long Zhen nodded and ruffled James Grind's hair again. "Okay, okay, you are the only one who can kill me. But be careful, okay? We don't know what kind of trap is laying for us when we face Huang Shu today."

"I will be careful!" James Grind said.

The entourage of Long Zhen came to the Huang Shu's base. Like the tail of a black dragon, the black cars lined up and slowly filled Huang Mansion's courtyard. Long Zhen led the way with James Grind on his side, followed by his men.

Huang Shu was already sitting on his seat with his leg crossed. He glared at Long Zhen and James Grind beside him. His gaze darkened and made a crooked smile. "Master Long Zhen seems to enjoy playing with my lover so much."

Long Zhen engulfed his hand on James Grind's waist. "He is not Master Huang Shu's lover anymore. He is now my personal cute assassin."

Huang Shu clenched the armrest, but his gaze stilled. "I see. I believe you did this by bribing my lover's Director, right?"

"What if I say yes?" Long Zhen scoffed. "Master Huang is just too slow. Maybe that is why you are the second, and I'm the first."

"How bold. Master Long forgot that you are on my turf. I can kill you here if I want," Huang Shu threatened. But Long Zhen didn't budge at all.

"Master Huang forgot that I've survived countless assassination attempts. Something like this doesn't scare me at all," Long Zhen replied nonchalantly.

James Grind looked at these two, who had a fierce dragon and tiger aura behind them. He gulped and broke the scary silence.

"M—Master Huang, Master Long, you guys said that you have a deal about letting Master Long's trade or something. P—Please proceed…"

The pressuring air disappeared when they both looked at James Grind at the same time. Huang Shu smiled first and nodded. "Yes, I need to teach this big douchebag how not to touch my territory and my belonging."

"And I come here to tell this little shit that I've gotten what I want, and there is no stopping me," Long Zhen answered.

They glared at each other again. If looks could kill, at this moment, both Long Zhen and Huang Shu must be bloody and dying on the ground.

[Oh no! They will kill each other because of me! What to do? Both of them are so strong and handsome~ Should I run away and let them search for me first?]

[Pupa: Even better, kill yourself in front of them and tell them that you can't live to see them fighting against each other like this.]

[Tch, you are no fun, Pupa. Don't you want to see them fighting against each other for the sake of this delicious booty?]

[Pupa: No, that will be an insult against their intelligence.]
