Liu Hong's expression changed completely. The one he was waiting for wasn't this man.
"Where's Agent 3? Where's Mr Yan?" he asked with a trembling voice.
"You have no right to know.” The voice of the man in a mask was as low as a subwoofer. It sounded soft in volume, but the vibration alone made one's eardrums hurt.
"You...” Liu Hong's voice was shaking and he seemed to be afraid of the person in front of him.
"I'm here to see Agent 3! Not you, not..."
He didn't want to say anymore and turned to escape. But with another swoosh, the man blocked his way.
"What do you want?!” yelled Liu Hong.
But this bamboo forest was so secluded, nobody would have heard him no matter how loudly he shouted.
"I'm going to kill you!"
The masked man didn't bother saying anymore. He suddenly used his palm to slice the air and there was a spurting sound.
Liu Hong's eyes immediately widened as he clutched his own throat tightly. But fresh blood continued to flow out between his fingers.
"Unghhh..."
His entire body was trembling as he stumbled a few steps back. His breathing became more and more harried, and he couldn't get a word out.
"A traitor ought to die!"
The masked man didn't even take a second look at him and disappeared quickly into the bamboo forest.
Liu Hong took a few steps back and eventually lost his balance and fell to the ground. His body was cramping up and there was a thin slit on his throat. He didn't know what was used to cut his throat, but it was a really clean cut.
Fresh blood continued to gush out from the slit and dyed the ground red.
"I-I-I didn't...I...I'm not from the Long family..." Liu Hong's lips trembled as his eyes widened. His face slowly drained of its color and his voice faded into silence.
Meanwhile.
Back at that small house in the mountains.
The man kneeling on one knee outside of the blinds that covered the pavilion was the masked man who had just killed Liu Hong.
