Chapter 1011: Chapter 31 It’s quite sudden

Yan Ben leaned against the shadow of the corner, his eyes fiercely fixed on the Polar Bear Cafe.

It was that woman from this place who not only made his successful mission fail but also made him pay the price.

Thinking about his recent escape from the police car made Yan Ben shudder uncontrollably.

If it hadn’t been for the great cost, borrowing ‘that’ Strength,

he would definitely be in a detention cell by now.

No!

It should be the ICU for serious conditions.

First, I’ll kill this woman!

Then, the other girl too!

These two people, I can’t let go no matter what!

However, that girl…

Whenever he thought about Sagaraso’s punch, the assassin felt a chill.

Such a punch was beyond common sense.

What kind of person could deliver a punch like that?

The answer was clear.

Inside World!

As someone lingering on the outskirts of the Inside World, it was natural he couldn’t make his move directly.

So, he chose Hui Lijing.

To him, Hui Lijing seemed like the softest target.

Ding-dong!

The distant sound of a doorbell.

A kindly-faced bald old man stepped out.

This old man, Yan Ben had just seen him earlier.

Seemed like he might be one of the kids’ grandfather.

In any case, an unimportant person.

Thus, Yan Ben simply glanced at him and paid no more attention.

What concerned him more was the timing to kill Hui Lijing.

Just as Yan Ben was waiting, the bald grandfather unexpectedly walked over.

Watching this scene, Yan Ben frowned.

In any plan, the most worrying aspect is the unexpected.

Should I kill this old man?

It would cause some trouble.

But as long as I handle it well, there should be no problem.

After all, the old man seemed a bit senile.

With this thought, Yan Ben immediately made sure no one was around, then lunged towards the bald elder in one swift step.

“If you’re going to blame anyone, blame your luck!”

“Die!”

Yan Ben muttered under his breath as he lifted his right hand high and then chopped down hard.

He was a professionally trained assassin.

A single chop could easily break five bricks.

Such a hand chop wouldn’t just affect an old man.

Even a strong adult, if hit, couldn’t withstand it.

The bald elder seemed completely unaware.

Still smiling cheerfully.

Only when the hand chop was about to land on his head did he tilt it slightly.

Crack!

The hand chop struck the shoulder of the bald elder.

After the crisp sound came… intense pain!

Crack, crack!

The sound of bones breaking emanated from the shoulder where Yan Ben made contact; he froze, then sudden pain spread, and tears and snot uncontrollably streamed down his face.

“How, how could this be?”

Yan Ben murmured subconsciously.

His eyes seemed unfocused.

As if unable to accept the reality.

The bald elder, still smiling cheerfully.

Appeared incredibly ‘benevolent’.

Under Yan Ben’s gaze, the bald elder also raised his right arm.

Then, he struck down.

Boom!

In an extremely dull sound,

Yan Ben disappeared on the spot.

Or more accurately said… shattered!

Turned to dust.

As the evening wind blew, everything scattered with the wind.

Nothing changed.

The only change was Yan Ben.

The bald elder then turned around as if he had done something very ordinary, slowly heading back towards the Polar Bear Cafe.

“Cherry, where’s Grandpa’s pudding?”

“Ah? It’s all gone?”

“Could you buy another one for Grandpa?”

The bald elder, smiling cheerfully, took Cherry by the hand, spoke while walking away, and bid farewell to Hui Lijing.

“Here, please take this.”

Hui Lijing hurried out from behind the bar and handed a packed pudding to the elder.

“Thank you for bringing Cherry here often.”

“Perhaps to you, it’s just a casual gesture, but your presence reminded me of my original dream.”

“I can’t do much more for you, but please accept this pudding.”

Hui Lijing said sincerely.

Because, what Hui Lijing said was the truth.

After becoming a detective, Hui Lijing had nearly forgotten her dream of becoming a barista.

It was not until she took a part-time job at her sister’s shop and one afternoon, encountered Cherry and her grandfather that she gradually remembered her initial dream.

‘Human true strength is self-change!’

‘And to change is to persist!’

‘Remember your initial dream!’

‘That’s the source of your motivation!’

‘If you forgot, then stop and reminisce about the time you did 100 push-ups, 100 sit-ups, and 100 squats every day, and the hardship of running 10 kilometers just to achieve your dream!’

‘That time, you had the Iron Will to go through summer and winter without turning on the air conditioner!’

‘Maybe it started painfully tough, almost wishing to rest for a day, but for my dream, no matter how painful and uncomfortable, I must persist, even if I have to train till I vomit blood, even if my legs are so heavy I can’t move, I must persist in doing squats, even if my arms rattle I must continue doing push-ups, a year and a half later I noticed my body had changed, I had gone bald, but I also grew stronger, that is to say: you have to train with the determination to lose your hair, this is the only secret to becoming strong!’

That was what Cherry’s grandfather had said.

Hui Lijing overheard unintentionally.

Then, these words reminded her of her initial dream.

Although it might seem ridiculous to Cherry and the other children around.
