Watching this colossal creature crawl out from underground, Gu Ningzhi, though unwilling to admit it, felt his legs go weak for a moment. How many years had it been since he last experienced this feeling? He remembered that the first time he displayed such a state was during his first mission to kill; the Gu Family's tasks were never simple, and even a young boy barely over ten had to face life and death.
The target of that mission was an egregious habitual offender, a serial criminal with a list of crimes longer than Gu Ningzhi's age at the time. This individual was an extremely vicious and ruthless person, indulging in torture and particularly enjoying the murder of young children!
Back then, Gu Ningzhi wasn't as seasoned as he is now, and although he carried powerful weapons and had people protecting him in secret, his performance was disappointing; seeing that aura-filled individual, his legs turned to jelly and he couldn't walk.
