Top-Tier Superpower Student-Chapter 672 - 644: One Hand
At five o'clock in the afternoon, Lin Tian received a message on WeChat from Wang Yuan.
He sent the address of the hotel to Lin Tian and mentioned that the cameras were set up, and at seven o'clock in the evening, the Assassin, Invisible, would arrive at the hotel on time to discuss matters in detail.
It was only the afternoon, and Lin Tian had nothing else to do, so he went straight to the hotel.

Following the room address, Lin Tian entered the hotel. Considering Invisible was a top figure in the assassin hierarchy, he presumably had significant skills. If he discovered the spy cameras, it might arouse his suspicions; hence, Lin Tian decided to search for them himself. If even he couldn't find the cameras, then certainly Invisible couldn't either.
After searching for more than ten minutes, Lin Tian turned the entire living room inside out without finding anything — if even he couldn't find it, Invisible stood no chance.
It seemed Wang Yuan was somewhat useful, at least he was very good at concealing things.
With time to spare, Lin Tian ordered a meal. After eating, he blissfully went to sleep.
In a half-drowsy state, Lin Tian suddenly sensed a shadow flit past the window, which made him instantly alert. He hurried to check but discovered nothing.
Being a practitioner of reflective strength, his perception was extremely sensitive. Since he felt someone by the window, there definitely was someone.
Being on the twelfth floor, apart from window cleaners, who would roam around the windows for no reason?
There was only one possibility: Invisible had already arrived and was currently scouting the area to ensure it was safe.
As an assassin, his job was to kill, and assassins also often faced the threat of being killed.
Especially someone like Invisible, at the pinnacle of the pyramid, anyone capable of hiring him was most certainly a big shot. The people he killed were also big shots, which was why he had countless enemies. Whenever he went to a place, he had to ensure absolute safety and caution, which was why he had survived until now.
Since it was him, Lin Tian didn't feel the need to investigate further. He lay back on the bed to continue sleeping. If Invisible wanted to scout, then let him scout thoroughly!
His heart was truly big. Despite a top assassin hopping around his room, he actually managed to fall asleep and slept rather soundly.
When he opened his eyes later, he leapt out of bed in fright.
Oh my, sitting upright beside his bed was a masked and stern figure.
It was Invisible, the Assassin, Invisible!
Lin Tian jumped under the bed, his face as pale as death. He swallowed repeatedly, feeling his heart rate nearly soar to two hundred beats per minute.
When had Invisible arrived, and how had he suddenly appeared beside his bed? The door and windows were well secured, so how had he entered?
Moreover, with his own skills, the fact that he hadn't noticed Invisible's entry proved that Invisible was a master. The name 'Invisible' was truly fitting; he was indeed invisible!
Lin Tian took a moment to calm himself and then awkwardly said, "You must be Invisible, right? Meeting this way for the first time is quite special indeed!"
Invisible's face was hidden behind a black cloth, but Lin Tian could feel the chilling murderous aura emanating from his face.
These assassins, who perpetually walked on the edge of life and death, emitted a killing aura over time that could frighten children and make ordinary adults shiver.
Expressionless, Invisible cut straight to the point, "You summoned me. Who do you want to kill?"
Seeing his cold, direct demeanor, Lin Tian didn't beat around the bush and adopted a serious face.
"The Family Head of the Guo Family, Guo Nuting."
"Guo Nuting has always been secretive. In terms of residences alone, he has over eighty, not to mention the protection of powerful individuals around him. This…"
Since Invisible didn't refuse outright, it indicated his interest in the mission. His statement was merely a tactic to negotiate a higher price.
Lin Tian was slightly shocked; he even knew that Guo Nuting had eighty-something residences. It seemed he had thoroughly scouted information on Guo Nuting before!
"Ten billion." Lin Tian opened the bidding.
"Fifty billion," Invisible countered audaciously, asking for five times Lin Tian's price.
Lin Tian thought for a moment and said, "Thirty billion. The schedule and movements of Guo Nuting will be provided by us. I'm offering thirty billion, not for Guo Nuting's life, but for one of his hands!"
An unexpected gleam appeared in Invisible's eyes; he had never received such a peculiar mission before — not to take a life, but to take a hand.
After a brief pause, however, he nodded in agreement.
To kill someone, the first requirement is to find them.
If it were based on Invisible's usual methods, that would mean finding ways to sneak into Guo Nuting's residence and then kill him.
But now the situation was different. The schedule of Guo Nuting would be provided by Lin Tian. In that case, he wouldn't need to sneak into Guo Nuting's home, making it both convenient and safe for Invisible. Forging twenty billion less than his original demand was still worth it to him!
Invisible left a cellphone number, saying, "When you need my services, notify me. Tomorrow, I want to receive fifteen billion as a deposit, and the other fifteen billion after the job is done."
"Agreed," Lin Tian readily accepted.
Invisible stood up, ready to leave.
However, he hadn't gone far when he suddenly sensed a killing intent.
Lin Tian struck out with a punch, fiercely aiming for Invisible's back.
Unfazed, Invisible summoned True Yuan around his body, transforming into a shadowy figure and quickly dodged, making Lin Tian's punch miss.
"So fast!"
Lin Tian exclaimed, activating his Neural Response Speed ability and combining it with his Flight Technique. His body shot straight towards Invisible while simultaneously activating his superpower to unleash Heaven's Punishment, sending a Thunder Whip furiously towards him.
Invisible dodged while pulling out a golden dagger. The golden dagger swept away Lin Tian's Thunder Whip and also evaded his strike.
Undiscouraged, Lin Tian chased Invisible through the limited space. But Invisible's speed was too fast, leaving Lin Tian somewhat unable to keep up.
Then, seizing an opportunity, Invisible's body swiftly moved towards him, a golden dagger aiming straight for Lin Tian's throat.
Lin Tian quickly dodged and counter-punched, targeting Invisible's chest, but Invisible's speed was so fast that Lin Tian's punch again missed.
Afterward, Lin Tian stopped attacking, and Invisible also stood opposite Lin Tian, fists clenched, his whole body emanating a deadly aura.
"What are you doing?" Invisible asked angrily.
"Just testing you a bit. Guo Nuting isn't easy to kill. If I don't clearly see your strength, what if you blunder?" Lin Tian answered.
"Now you've seen my strength. Are you satisfied?" Invisible asked.
"In a head-to-head fight, you're not as strong as me, but your movement technique is elusive, incomprehensible. I can't catch you, and you're a born assassin. I'm very satisfied."
"I take my leave, but next time, please don't play such games. I'm an assassin, not a child!"
With these words, Invisible left angrily, clearly displeased.
