Chapter 105: Threats—Kill Them All?!

“Make sure everyone immediately withdraws from the observation area. Without my direct order, no one is to monitor Lin Han any longer.”
Si Lintian hurriedly issued the command.
This was trouble—now things were getting complicated!
“Senior, are we just going to let Lin Han go?” Sun Hu was dissatisfied. “He actually dared to threaten government personnel directly. Are these people out of their minds?”
“Sun Hu, do you know what level an assassin must reach to learn the skill of hiding in shadows?”
Sun Hu shook his head. “I don’t know. I’ve never looked into that.”
“This technique is called Shadow Concealment, an ultimate-tier spell. Only those at the Diamond rank or higher can master it. And with such an assassin secretly protecting Lin Han, do you really think your department’s magic detectors can handle it?”
“I suspect Lin Han has been aware of your surveillance all along, which is why he behaved so unremarkably.”
“Given the circumstances, this matter is inextricably linked to Lin Han. The other party has shown restraint—they could have killed us but didn’t, which means they bear no malice.”
“By our analysis, the expert backing Lin Han isn’t a mage, so all your magic-based forbidden spells are irrelevant. There’s no need to pursue him further.”
“Let’s consider this a mutual retreat.”
Listening to Si Lintian’s words, Sun Hu understood. This issue really had nothing to do with them; he’d only come to stop the Supreme Mage.
Besides, if things really fell apart, unless a Saint-level expert arrived in person, no one could stop this warrior.
“Captain Teng, pass down the orders. We’ll follow Senior Si Lintian’s approach.”
“Yes, Boss!”
…
The next day, Lin Han reluctantly dragged himself out of bed.
“What’s going on today? The people tailing me have all vanished?”
Lin Han was surprised but unconcerned; he assumed they’d abandoned their investigation of him.
That was just as he wished—being tracked daily would be a hassle.
Now, he finally had some peace.
“Han, are you awake?” Lin Zhongtian heard sounds from the room and knocked on the door.
“What is it, Dad? Just woke up.”
Lin Han sat up and dressed, then stepped outside.
“Han, hurry up and wash up, then eat breakfast.”

“Yes, okay.”
After a quick wash, Lin Han sat at the dining table. Although their family’s living conditions had improved, their meals remained simple—nothing extravagant.
Lin Zhongtian and Shen Mei still hadn’t quit their jobs. As they put it, they felt uneasy if they didn’t do something each day.
But at least they no longer had to constantly worry about making ends meet.
Lin Han didn’t mind. As long as his parents were happy, that was all that mattered.
“Dad, your cooking keeps getting better. You should open your own restaurant—it would be a huge hit!”
Lin Han grabbed a piece of meat and stuffed it into his mouth, his lips gleaming with oil.
“Forget it. Sure, our living conditions are better now, but buying a storefront isn’t easy. Plus, renovations and utilities cost money. It’s fine as it is.”
Lin Zhongtian quickly refused.
“By the way, son, someone came yesterday and said there’s an interview arranged for you tomorrow. It’s supposedly with one of the Five Great Academies—asked if you’d be interested in a second round.”
“He said his name was Gao Gan, claimed to be a judge from your entrance exam. We weren’t sure if he was a fraud, so we didn’t agree. Wanted to check with you first.”
Shen Mei said.
Gao Gan?
Wasn’t he the judge?
“He’s not a fraud; it must be the retest for the Five Great Academies,” Lin Han replied.
Weren’t those academies looking down on him? Why did they suddenly want to recruit him?
Could there be some hidden agenda?
Still, Lin Han planned to meet them. If he could enter one of the Five Great Academies, that would be ideal. The dungeons in Huoyue City were all low-level monsters; he could barely level up with his current third advancement, but once he reached the fourth or fifth advancement, the dungeons here wouldn’t suffice.
It was time to move on…
He’d thought about this before: if he could get into the Five Great Academies, great. If not, he’d seek a school in a city with higher-level dungeons.
Besides, there was little to do in Huoyue City—the intelligence and resources were limited.
To continue growing, he had to venture out. Only then could he truly progress.
“Mom, did they say where?” Lin Han asked.
“They did!” Shen Mei quickly took a slip of paper from her clothes and handed it to him. “I was worried I’d forget, so I wrote it down yesterday.”

Lin Han took the note and read it. “2:00 p.m. tomorrow, Building B, Room 709, Mingda Tower.”
“Alright, I’ll go tomorrow.”
Shen Mei said, “Han, don’t push yourself. If you get in, that’s wonderful. If not, don’t get discouraged.”
“Don’t worry, I’m fine.”
Lin Han replied casually, and after breakfast, walked out the door.
In the residential complex, Lin Han muttered to himself, “Senior Feihua, you used that technique to hide in my shadow yesterday, didn’t you?”
“You noticed?”
Feihua emerged from his shadow, surprised. “Is this a third-advancement priest’s ability? You actually detected me!”
“Not exactly. I didn’t discover it myself—I just happened to see you merge into my shadow with my God’s Eye.”
Lin Han smiled as he explained.
Indeed, Feihua’s method was impressive. Once hidden in a shadow, even God’s Eye could barely detect her. He’d only caught her merging process with it.
“How dull—someone actually observes shadows.”
Feihua looked disappointed, then suddenly remarked, “So, did you notice there are fewer people in the neighborhood today?”
“That’s true. All the troublesome ones are gone.”
Lin Han knew exactly who Feihua meant.
“Of course! Last night was exhausting. Don’t underestimate their efforts—they set up quite a lot to monitor you. I had to spend ages dealing with them all.” Feihua boasted, her pride evident.
Lin Han’s heart skipped a beat.
So that’s why everyone disappeared this morning—it was her doing!
What did she mean by ‘dealing with them all’?
Did she kill them?
“Senior Feihua, you didn’t kill them all, did you?”
