Chapter 260 -259 Zhang Erya

The room was a mess and eerily silent.

The sharp blade left faint bloodstains on the woman’s face, and the pressure on her neck made her breathing incredibly difficult.

As Shao Zifeng ceased his attack, the woman’s unfocused pupils slowly regained some clarity.

Looking at Shao Zifeng, the woman felt a wave of relief. This man had almost killed her moments ago.

Shao Zifeng did not turn around. The fiery phantom in his eyes flickered in and out of existence, and the blade of the dagger in his hand emitted a high temperature. The bloodstains the woman had just received quickly scabbed over and darkened, and a faint burnt smell permeated the air.

“Zifeng, let go,”

Seeing the scene before her, Chen Yixin panicked. She tumbled out of the bed onto the floor and crawled over to grab Shao Zifeng’s arm, “She’s one of us.”

“Huh~”

Feeling the warmth of Chen Yixin’s palm, the anger in Shao Zifeng’s heart slowly dissipated.

As he released his grip, the dagger plunged straight into the floor, the solid wood around it already charred and cracked.

The woman was severely frightened; only with Chen Yixin’s comfort did she gradually stabilize her emotions, but her body would shake violently whenever Shao Zifeng’s gaze turned her way.

“Who is she?”

Shao Zifeng asked, his gaze tightly fixated on the woman.

He hadn’t noticed during the sudden attack that the girl was actually Caucasian.

At the moment, she looked pathetically cuddly in Chen Yixin’s arms, her messy golden hair clearly missing a strand. Her deep eye sockets held light green pupils, and her facial features were softer compared to Westerners, indicating she might be Slavic from the Rash Country.

Looking further, she wore a tight leather outfit that outlined her stunning figure perfectly. The charred scar on her face did not detract from her beauty; rather, it added a wild charm.

So, she was wearing leather. No wonder I couldn’t smell the sea…

Cough.

“This is Erya, involved in some confidential work. Just know she’s from Daxia,”

Upon hearing Chen Yixin’s words, the woman weakly defended, “I’m not Erya, I’m Yelena!”

Finding Shao Zifeng’s eyes on her, she once again buried her head in Chen Yixin’s embrace.

Seeing this, Shao Zifeng no longer paid attention to her but continued, “Daxia citizen? A naturalized green card holder?”

“What naturalized thing? I’m a genuine Daxia northerner!” Hearing Shao Zifeng use a belittling term that implicated national identity, she grew defiant and blurted out in authentic northeastern dialect, “Look carefully, Zhang Erya, Daxia’s Slavic ethnicity, native of the Black Dragon area…”

Shao Zifeng looked at Zhang Erya indifferently. Her body stiffened, and her previously arrogant demeanour withered again.

Timidly, she buried her head in Chen Yixin’s arms and pulled out her ID card from her leather jacket pocket, holding it up.

Taking the ID, he looked at the information, then at Zhang Erya herself, and back at the ID card again.

It was definitely her.

It’s just this name.

Tsk.

Seeing this, Chen Yixin let out a sigh of relief.

“Now that everyone knows each other, let’s get up… Fighting is fine, but look at what you’ve done to my room,” Chen Yixin said, sobering up after the shock. She laboriously helped the tall Zhang Erya to her feet, her tone reproachful.

“It wasn’t me. I had just come to find you when I saw this guy making inappropriate advances toward you, and I couldn’t help but intervene,” Zhang Erya nestled in Chen Yixin’s arms, feebly accusing someone of foul play.

Since she was considerably taller than Chen Yixin, the sight was quite comical.

“Oh?” Chen Yixin looked at Shao Zifeng, her eyes filled with contempt.

“It wasn’t me!” Shao Zifeng quickly shook his head, unwilling to take the blame: “It’s your beloved treasure.”

Chen Yixin was stunned, instinctively looking down at her chest, her face showing a mixture of embarrassment and annoyance as she glared fiercely at Shao Zifeng.

“Hey… not that beloved treasure, I mean the very special one you were going to show me…” As he spoke, Shao Zifeng pointed in the direction of the Ice Plateau Saber-Toothed Tiger, then his expression suddenly froze.

Human.

No, where had the tiger run off to?

Chen Yixin also realized what he meant, her eyes widening in disbelief, she said, “You mean this was caused by little Ice?”

“That shouldn’t be possible, I’ve never seen him use any skills other than Gold Defense.”

Chen Yixin’s expression fluctuated rapidly as she urgently searched for the little furball.

Eventually, behind her back, the three of them found the Ice Plateau Saber-toothed Tiger curled up into a ball of yarn.

Zhang Erya opened her eyes wide, unable to resist poking it with her hand: “This is the ancient mutant creature, so cute.”

Chen Yixin nodded, seeing it was sleeping, she didn’t disturb it and instead signaled Shao Zifeng with her eyes, meaning they would talk about this when they had time.

“Erya, why are you looking for me so late?”

“My name is Yelena!” Zhang Erya protested weakly.

However, now was not the time to fuss about that, she meekly looked towards Shao Zifeng, then quickly turned her head to look at Chen Yixin, the meaning behind her actions clear.

“Ahem, should I leave for a bit?” Shao Zifeng asked, well aware of the atmosphere.

“No need, you can stay here.” After saying this, she looked at Zhang Erya: “Zifeng is one of us.”

“Oh.”

In the following period, Shao Zifeng came to understand the nature of Zhang Erya’s work.

She had been discovered as a special type of talent during university and due to her racial and linguistic advantages, had been sent to Rash Country to engage in some espionage work, although she was not the only one.

Not long ago, after using one identity to complete a mission, she switched to another identity to join the main headquarters of the Holy Origin Society in Rash Country.

Unlike Daxia’s strict defenses against the Holy Origin Society, many countries had some private collaborations with the society, and the members did not need to be unknown to each other as in Daxia.

Using her years of experience and her appearance to her advantage, she easily penetrated a fixed squad.

Originally, this trip to the Liaodong Region was to execute a mission with her teammates, but shortly after arriving, she received orders from her superiors to halt all activities and fully cooperate with the work of Chen Yixin.

When she received this mission, she was very happy, as working among one’s own people was always better than living uncertain days abroad.

Furthermore, she and Chen Yixin were old acquaintances; to celebrate this rare mission, Zhang Erya directly betrayed her Holy Origin Society teammates as a sacrificial rite.

The orders from her superiors were that all intelligence should be directly reported to Chen Yixin, so after writing the mission summary, Zhang Erya immediately rushed to find Chen Yixin, which led to this conflict.

Listening to Zhang Erya’s account, Shao Zifeng remembered the tragic scene in the alley, realizing this woman was truly ruthless.

If it had been him, he might not have been able to betray his teammates as she had.

But considering the nature of her work, Shao Zifeng couldn’t say what she did was wrong.

After all, she was gambling with her own life for the greater good of the country.

If she wasn’t ruthless enough, the grass on her grave might already be a meter high.
