Greatest Assassin
Chapter 17

"Wait a minute, man. Why do you look so rushed."

"Surge! Don't block my path!"

"Heh. You're so cruel. Are you still angry about yesterday? I'm just kicking you, and it won't hurt, will it?"

"What do you want?" aiken asked while looking at the young man vigilantly.

"I want that ear cuff" the mysterious young man replied.

"What's? Don't hope!"

"Heh. I thought you'd give it to her right away."

"What's your real purpose? Why are you after that ear cuff?"

The young man swung his hand and was about to land his clenched hand on Aiken's face. But Aiken instantly evaded the tons from the young man.

"You shouldn't know, right? I don't just want that cuff. But also you... "

"I don't know what your plan is. But for sure I won't give you that ear cuff."

"Well, I'm still not going to kill you. But. You're very hard to negotiate with."

The young man walked over to Aiken. Aiken walked backwards away from the young man. Quickly without Aiken noticing, suddenly the young man was already behind Aiken. The young man's hand held Aiken's chin and the young man's lips approached Aiken's ear and whispered something to Aiken.

"Don't try to run away from me. I could have killed you if I wanted to" whispered the young man as his other hand approached Aiken's jacket pocket and he quickly picked up the small box.

"Hey, give it back!" Aiken tried to reclaim the box. But the young man was greater than Aiken had expected.

Aiken pulled out his gun and started shooting the young man. But his shot did not injure the young man, a shield had protected the young man.

"Hey.don't spend your bullets attacking me. Because it won't work for me."

"Sad."

"You know. I want this ear cuff to wake the SR-class devil."

"SR class?"

"really. With a SR level demon, the earth would definitely tremble in fear seeing his arrival. And I can see the drama."

"Don't you try to do that! I'm not gonna let that happen!"

Aiken ran up to the young man while continuing to shoot him. Although the shot did not work for the young man, but Aiken still tried to keep shooting him. Aiken attacked the young man by punching him and also kicking him. But it was not the young man who lost, it was Aiken who had fallen was attacked by the young man.

"You don't try to fight me. You won't be able to fight me."

The young man opened the small box, and he took the ear cuff and he threw the box towards Aiken falling down at this moment.

"alright. Bye bye! I'll see you later!"

The young man walked away leaving Aiken. While Aiken was still sitting on the ground, his body was still in pain from the attack of the young man earlier.

"I'm not gonna let that guy ruin what Alice's been up to."

The mysterious young man walked leisurely in the middle of the highway while throwing catch the ear cuff. The people who had brought their vehicles on the road were quite upset at the young man. The young man walked in the middle of the highway without thinking if the highway would be a lot of riders passing, and he still casually walked in the middle of the road, not allowing motorists or bicycles to pass.

"Hey! I'm not done with you yet!" Aiken came from another direction.

"Heh... do you still want to fight me? You better just give up and let this ear cuff be mine."

"It's not that easy I'll give up. Anyhow I have to get back that ear cuff for Alice!"

"Alice? You mean the Goddess spirit girl? Hah..he is nothing, he is just a spirit of the Goddess who talks about wanting to protect the Hollow world and so on. I'm sick of that girl, I'd love to finish her off."

"He's not talking! I'm sure he's the right person to be a Hollow and earth protector! And I believe him!"

"Well, you don't know anything about him. Don't believe what he says."

"You should have seen yourself. Are you really better than Alice?"

"Heh... Did you just insinuate me?"

"It's good if you feel."

The young man unleashed a purple-colored supernatural power from his hand. The young man threw the power towards Aiken. Aiken immediately jumped onto a pole to avoid the attack from the young man.

"I am just an ordinary human being who has no special powers like you. But.. I will definitely take that ear cuff from you!"

"Well, try it if you can."

Aiken shot the young man with his gun. Many bullets shot towards the young man, but even the young man was not injured at all.

"Have not tried to defeat me. I really feel sorry for you."

"It's not over!"

Aiken then fired one of his bullets at the young man. As the bullet shot towards the young man, suddenly a thick white smoke appeared and made the young man unable to look around.

As the young man cleared the thick smoke with his strength, he did not realize that Aiken was already behind him.

"This is what I mean!"

Aiken directly attacked the young man from behind and made the young man fall down. The ear cuff he was holding crashed, Aiken instantly caught the ear cuff.

"It will still take a few more years for you to fool me" Aiken said with an angry look at the mysterious young man still lying on the highway.

"Sad. You're great, too, yes" the young man stood up. "But I'm not easily defeated."

The young man quickly attacked Aiken, but Aiken was still able to retaliate and dodge his attacks. Aiken quietly took out his gun, then quickly and nimbly he held the gun close to the belly of the mysterious young man. Then Aiken shot the mysterious young man in the stomach until finally the shield that protected the mysterious young man's body was destroyed. Another shot injured the mysterious young man.

"Now you're done."

Aiken approached the mysterious young man, he was about to unmask the young man. But before Aiken removed the mask from the young man, suddenly a thick fog came and made his vision blurred.

The moment the fog disappeared, the mysterious young man was no longer there.

"Sad. Where is he! I almost took off the mask," I told Aiken. But for him the most important thing was that the ear cuff was back then in his hands.
