Chapter 184 The Real Assassin(Chapter Preview)
"This place is messed up." Kai muttered as he walked through the streets of Nyander.
Numerous naked women were standing around the brothels as they tried various poses to attract the nearby passing people. The streets were flooded with people going and coming out of brothels left and right as Kai just moved aside and stood against a wall for a few minutes.
'Honestly, I don't think that I can find the black market in such a place. Maybe I should just go back and tell Risea that everything was already sold when I fort to the black market.' Kai thought but before he could teleport away, he saw a girl with wolf ears coming towards him.
Her hair were brown and her ears were also brown. As she reached Kai, he could see that her eyes were split pupiled pink eyes. Her height was a little less and a brown tail was waving left and right behind her.
(I don't how many times I will have to type this. Check this paragraph comment for her image.)
She was wearing a blue jacket that was zipped till the start of her breasts and Kai could see a black bra below it. She was wearing jeans below it as she moved towards Kai with innocent-looking eyes.
"Um, excuse me. Can you please help me with something?' The girl asked as her tail straightened. The ongoing crowd paid no attention to her as they were more drawn to the other girls.
"Do you have money?" Kai asked as the girl shook her head.
"But I can still pay you." The girl said shyly as she pointed at her chest with a slightly abashed look.
But Kai didn't say anything as a very strange smell suddenly hit his nose. He suddenly realized that the smell was actually of poison as he narrowed his eyes. After practicing alchemy with Risea, he could now tell many things by just smelling them.
"I don't have a death wish to die by such a vigorous poison." Kai said with a small smile as the girl's expression changed. Her eyes turned cold as she looked at him with examining eyes as she raised one of her hands.

"You are bold enough to actually dip your nail in poison. Only professionals do that which means…" Kai trailed off as he suddenly understood what this meant.
The girl's hand swiftly moved forward as she sliced Kai's throat with her hand. But instead of red blood, black blood stained her nails as they slowly started burning.
"WHAT ARE YOU?!" The girl screamed as Kai moved forward and covered her mouth as they teleported away.
The girl struggled in his grip as he teleported them to an alley before he let her go. The wound on his neck immediately healed as he looked at the girl with newfound interest.
"What is your name?" He asked as the girl didn't say anything and her hands went below her jacket as she took out two sleek black daggers the size of Kai's hands.
"You can just answer my question you know." Kai sighed as he smelled a different type of poison on the daggers. And the bad thing was that he couldn't tell what type of poison it was.
He looked down at his pendant which was gleaming black because of blood and he took out a sword from his pendant. The girl in front of him released a third stage spiritual soul realm cultivation and Kai also released his first stage spiritual soul realm cultivation.
The two people dashed at each other at as the girl held the knives from the bottom and slashed them at Kai who was using his sword to deflect them. Both of them then jumped back at the same time
"We can talk this out too. I am not even from this realm!" Kai exclaimed as his hood fell back and his face was revealed to the girl who suddenly stopped moving.
"You are not a half beast." She muttered slowly as her expression suddenly darkened.
"This means that you are one of those slave traders that take half beats away from here!" The girl exclaimed as Kia blinked in confusion.
"How did you even reach such a conclusion?" Kai asked as the girl shrugged.
"Cause I can't think of any other reason for you being here." She replied as Kai sighed.
"I am here to purchase the storm blood fruit." Kai said as the girl blinked in confusion before she burst out laughing.
"Do you know how many people try to do that? All the failed nobles families and other families and sects with high background try to buy it and if someone is successful in buying one, they are later assaulted by many groups who want to take the fruit from them." The girl explained as Kai chuckled.
"I will disappear as soon as I get my hands on that fruit so they can't even catch me even if they want to." Kai replied with a smile as the girl realized how Kai had teleported both of them away in less than a second.
"Well, good luck to you I guess." She said and turned around to move away as Kai suddenly grabbed her arm and stopped her.
"Can you tell me where the black market actually is?" Kai asked as the girl stared at him with a blank face.
"What is in it for me?" The girl asked as she narrowed her eyes at Kai's grip on her arm.
"I will help you with anything you want." Kai replied as the girl thought about it for a second before she nodded.
"My name is Kana. I want you to help me rescue my little sister." The girl, Kana, said as Kai nodded
"What's your sister's name?" Kai asked as Kana hesitated for a second before replying.
"Her name is Lana."
