The Return Of The God Level Assassin

LUO JIN followed Luo Yanʼs line of sight and saw that he was looking at a table located at a corner. No, to be precise his brother was looking at the person sitting there. It was a young man probably only two-three years older than them. His black hair was slightly tousled. His eyes were looking lazily at the cup in front of him.

He was sitting languidly, as if he couldnʼt be bothered with anything. Well, at least, that was the kind of impression he was giving.

”Do you know him?” Luo Jin asked his brother.

Luo Yan turned to him, still with that smile on his face. ”Thatʼs Mo Jianʼs older brother.”

Luo Jin wasnʼt sure if he heard the other correctly. But seeing the expression on Luo Yanʼs face, he knew that the other indeed said what he said and that there was nothing wrong with his hearing.

”Why are we meeting that girlʼs brother?” he asked.

Because he was now certain that the reason why Luo Yan pulled him out of the house was to meet this guy. Otherwise, he wouldnʼt have that scheming smile while looking at that person.

”Weʼre not actually,” Luo Yan answered. ”He doesnʼt know weʼre coming to meet him.”

Luo Jin turned to his brother. ”What do you mean?”

”I asked Brother last night to give me the information he had on the Mo family. I was hoping that I could find something useful that might help in our crusade of justice.” Luo Yan looked once again at Mo Jianʼs older brother. ”And luckily enough, I did find something.”

”So, what is it?”

”That this guy – heʼs name is Mo Jiu, by the way – seemed to not have a good relationship with his sister. Heʼs even quite distant with his father.”

Itʼs not really that surprising when Luo Yan read that. He could already imagine how things were for this Mo Jiu. His mother died after giving birth to his younger sister. Then after that, his father poured all his love on the said sister. He was obviously still quite young back then.

Normally, children who were subjected to that kind of experience usually grew up rebellious and in need of validation from their parent. But Mo Jiu was not like that. He was not rebellious, he had good grades, and simply wasnʼt a troublemaker. He had a distant relationship with his father and sister though.

In high school, he lived at the dorms of Guizu Academy despite their house being just a one car ride away. And then, when he was admitted to university, he completely moved out of the house. Not only that, the course he took was so far off from business management. Itʼs not even related to food or hospitality industry. He took up anthropology instead.

Itʼs like heʼs announcing to everyone that he was not planning to take over the family business. All these facts made him a very interesting character in Luo Yanʼs opinion.

Aside from that, he also learned from Yu Jiao that Mo Jiu had never really harassed her like Mo Jian did. He just simply ignored her existence. He had the same attitude in regards to her mother. In Luo Yanʼs opinion, thatʼs definitely a lot better than Mo Jianʼs blatant harassment. At least, he didnʼt seek out people just to abuse them.

Luo Jin, after hearing his brotherʼs respond, already had an idea on what the other was planning. ”Even if that guy is not close to his father and sister, do you really think he would team up with us, knowing full well that weʼre targeting his family?”

”He might or he might not. We wonʼt really know unless we try,” Luo Yan said with a carefree attitude. ”Besides, itʼs not like weʼll lose something if we donʼt.”

By now, Mo Guang Lin must have already figured out that they were the ones responsible for that article. So, it wouldnʼt matter even if Mo Jiu refused them and subsequently told his father about this meeting.

But what if he didnʼt refuse? It would be such a shame if Luo Yan didnʼt even try. Right?

Luo Jin scratched the back of his head before letting out a forceful sigh. ”And what exactly is my role here? You know Iʼm not good with this kind of stuff.”

”What else? Of course, youʼre my bodyguard! What if that guy gets irritated and suddenly punch me?” Luo Yan said pretending to be angry before suddenly acting all aggrieved and sad. ”Or is Ah Jin not willing to protect his weak older brother?”

Luo Jin, of course, knew that Luo Yan was just messing with him and trying to tease him once again. But he still couldnʼt help but eat that set. So, he simply pinched the otherʼs cheek as revenge. Of course, he did it as gently as he could.

”I know. So, stop guilt-tripping me already.”

Luo Yan only smiled brightly.

The two then walked towards where Mo Jiu was sitting. They both unceremoniously sat down on the seats opposite the other.

”If youʼre trying to solicit money for some unknown cause, Iʼm not interested. So, leave,” Mo Jiu said, still not raising his head and looking at the two ʼintrudersʼ. ”If youʼre trying to pick me up, then sorry, Iʼm not into the people of the same sex.”

Luo Yan raised one of his brows. He didnʼt expect for those words to be the first ones the other would utter. His tone of voice was like that of someone whoʼs too lazy to be bothered. As expected, this guy was really interesting.

”We donʼt have to solicit because we have more than enough money to last for a lifetime. And, thereʼs no way weʼd try to pick you up. After all, we have pretty high standards. Sadly, youʼre not even close to the passing line.”

Luo Jin secretly glanced at his brother. He thought he was planning to recruit this guy. Why was he being antagonistic all of a sudden?

But despite that, Mo Jiuʼs attention seemed to have been caught by what Luo Yan said. Because he finally raised his head and looked at them.
