Chapter 270

270 Giving Up On Struggling

A black panther that had perfectly blended into the night pounced over, its sharp claws and fangs gleaming with a cold light. Its cold eyes were filled with a thick aura of death as it stared at the back of the “prey” in front of it.

Just as its claws were about to grab the back of its “prey”, the black panther’s eyes suddenly froze, and then it fell silently, heavily hitting the ground.

The man heard a voice behind him and stopped. He turned around and looked at the black panther lying on the ground. No one knew what he was thinking.

He had only used a strong anesthetic, so the black panther was still in a deep coma. However, if he left it there, it would soon be killed by other beasts.

!!

The man didn’t hesitate and immediately injected the antidote into the black panther. However, he didn’t leave. Instead, he stood beside the black panther and waited quietly for it to wake up.

The beast that grew up in the deep mountains had a strong body. After the antidote, it quickly woke up. However, before it could get up, its neck was pressed by something, making it unable to break free even if it desperately flailed its limbs and twisted its body.

The human’s breath filled the black panther’s nostrils, causing it to be filled with confusion as it struggled.

There had been another human who had been so close to it before. His aura was clearly different from the human that was suppressing it now, but he gave it the same sense of familiarity.

Although he noticed that the black panther’s struggle was gradually weakening, the man who was suppressing it did not relax his strength. He would not relax his suppression until it had completely surrendered.

After a while, the black panther had completely given up on struggling. Its tongue kept licking its mouth and nose, showing an extremely nervous look. It even turned over to reveal its soft belly to the man who was on top of it.

This was a gesture of complete submission. The man knew that he could let go now.

Then, the man slowly moved his hand away, and the black panther only put its ears to the top of its head. Its eyes were soft and nervous, but it did not show any attacking posture.

“You should be glad that you met the me from tonight.”

The man suddenly said to the black panther.

Even though he knew it couldn’t understand, he still said it.

If it was any other time, he would never allow a creature that had the intention to kill him and had already started to attack him to be alive. However, the “hallucination” tonight was a rare opportunity for him to feel “her” again. It cracked his cold heart, and he let the black panther go.

After the man took two steps back, the black panther rolled over and stood up. Its belly was still pressed tightly against the ground, and its eyes were fixed on the man who had surrendered.

“You can leave.”

The man waved his hand, turned around, and left. Even if he had to leave his defenseless back to a ferocious beast, he was not afraid at all.

Even after the man had gone far away, the black panther did not make any moves to attack. Instead, it waited until his scent had completely disappeared before it scuttled away and disappeared into the dark night.

When the man in black returned to the small courtyard, he suddenly stopped at the entrance.

“Did he discover something?”

A person hiding on a roof in the distance whispered to his companion.

“Are you crazy? Aren’t you afraid he’ll hear you?”

His companion quickly gestured, not daring to make a single sound.

They were already monitoring the man in black at the limit of their vision, but they still couldn’t guarantee that they wouldn’t be noticed by him. And now, the idiot beside him actually dared to speak softly?

Only now did he realize that his partner was actually an idiot who was not afraid of death!

The man who spoke gave himself a light slap in annoyance, but that was an expression he made because he was afraid of making another sound.

The two of them lowered their posture again and stared nervously at the man in black in the distance. They watched him enter the courtyard and close the door, but they didn’t seem to show any signs of abnormality.

Even so, the man who had already made a mistake once did not dare to speak to his companion again. Instead, he forced himself to stay alert and continued to monitor the movements in the small courtyard in the distance.

The man in black returned to his room. He did not light the lamp, but sat quietly by the bed with his back straight. He did not relax even a little because he had returned to his own territory.

Of course, he knew that someone had been following and monitoring him all this time. It was just that when he rushed over just now, he caught them off guard. His speed was too fast, so the people who were monitoring him could not react in time, let alone keep up with his speed.

However, those people also knew that he would not leave the big black horse in the courtyard behind, so no matter what he did in the back mountain, he would return to this small courtyard. So after losing him, those people had come to this courtyard to look for possible clues.

The man played with the ring on his thumb. The ants outside were nothing to him. He was more focused on the auditory hallucination that suddenly appeared tonight.

He wasn’t sure if he had really heard anything or if he was hallucinating because of the alcohol. However, besides Mei ‘Er, no one else knew about their secret communication method.

“If Mei ‘Er really did appear, she would definitely show herself and make me fall off the cliff. But if it’s not her, then what’s going on?”

Although the man had always been calm and meticulous, he was a little confused when he suddenly encountered clues and circumstances related to ” her”.

After a night, the house in the small courtyard was empty, and the big black horse in the courtyard was gone.

Before dawn, he had already left on his horse, ready to take on another mission.

That night, he understood one thing, and that was that he could not stop his search. Since there was a clue related to ‘her’, he had to keep looking until he bled to the last drop of blood.

But before that, he had to leave as many clues about him as possible in this world. As long as “she” saw it, she would know that he was looking for her!

It was still the same inn and room from yesterday. This time, the luxuriously dressed man was waiting inside. He obviously didn’t have enough patience to wait for someone. He had only sat in the room for a short while, but he couldn’t help but tap his fingers on the table.

“Give me the next mission,”

The man in black appeared in the room like a ghost and said to the young man directly.

“Ying, don’t you need to rest for three to four days between missions? Why couldn’t he hold it in the next day? You’ve already earned so much money that you won’t be able to finish spending it in a few lifetimes. Why? Are you still short of money?”

The young man seemed to be jokingly teasing him to hide the questioning look in his eyes.

“No? Then I’ll withdraw.”

The man in black turned around and left without hesitation. This action shocked the young man and he immediately jumped up and chased after him.

One autumn rain, one cold. After a few consecutive raindrops, the temperature had completely dropped.
