Chapter 272 - Chapter 272 Marseille

To be honest, when Zhang Jie saw these two eccentric brothers, he finally understood the look of disdain John always had when he saw Zhang Jie perform his fancy moves.

You might think you're cool, but in others' eyes, you truly look like an idiot, especially in the assassin industry.

These so-called cool fancy gun tricks or reload styles are undoubtedly extremely fatal; at critical moments, they will absolutely cost you your life.

If you encounter a top assassin and still use these so-called cool reload methods, or even various strange gun tricks, then congratulations, the next second you'll be greeted with a bullet to the forehead.

Zhang Jie could only sigh, these two eccentrics are still alive now; they must thank those 'human body outline masters'.

As he experienced more and more battles and spent more and more time in the assassin industry, Zhang Jie increasingly understood that simplicity and practicality were the keys to victory; all flashy moves and methods would become his most fatal weaknesses.

And now, Zhang Jie looked at the expressions of those two eccentric brothers, and it was exactly the same as the expression John had when he watched Zhang Jie's fancy moves.

Disdain, bad luck, disbelief.

"Hey! Who are you?" Kobe asked.

Zhang Jie's gunshots had already caught their attention, but seeing the other party standing out, he clearly didn't seem hostile, although both sides were pointing guns at each other.

Although they looked down on the other's precise marksmanship, they also knew that the other was definitely a master.

"I'm here for a mission."

Looking at these two livewires below, Zhang Jie also found it quite interesting.

"Oh my god! We were still one step too slow!"

Hearing Zhang Jie's words, the two livewires immediately wailed repeatedly, not expecting that despite their rush, they were still late.

"It's all your fault! You just had to take a shit before leaving! Our activity money for this week is gone again!" Brown furiously yelled at Kobe.

"Hehehe, listen, Bro, you can't blame me. I even took time off specifically to complete this mission!" Kobe said with an innocent look.

Zhang Jie was speechless hearing the conversation between these two. After entering the room, he helped up the girl, who had recovered a bit, and led her down the stairs to the first floor.

"Whoa whoa whoa!" Looking at the white girl in front of him, Kobe, of course, knew this was their mission target, but unfortunately, the mission had already been completed.

They could only watch helplessly as Zhang Jie walked past them with the girl.

Then the two turned and started blaming each other again.

Bringing the girl outside, the taxi was still parked there, and the international student who had issued the mission was also there. Seeing the girl next to Zhang Jie, he immediately became excited and rushed over to hug her.

The two embraced, then passionately kissed.

"Uh..."

Zhang Jie was speechless. Ignoring the two, he directly opened the car door and got in. It was too mushy.

Daniel, on the other hand, watched with great interest. After Zhang Jie got in the car, he still craned his neck to watch, and even said, "Wow wow wow, in France, there should be this kind of romance."

"Let's go, let's go to Marseille and take a look." Zhang Jie covered his face.

Daniel immediately entered work mode, started the vehicle, and sped off with a push of the accelerator.

On the other side, Brown and Kobe were still arguing, walking and bickering, cursing under their breath.

"Next time there's a mission like this, you're not allowed to leave to take a shit; you hold it in!"

Brown was frustrated, knowing that if this mission had been completed, they would have been well-fed and clothed for at least half a month, and could even have bought some new equipment.

It was a pity; it was all Kobe's fault for having to squat in the toilet before leaving, causing the mission to be snatched by someone else.

For this kind of open-ended mission, whoever arrived and completed it first got credit, and that guy had killed everyone.

Watching the scenery outside the window rapidly recede once again, Zhang Jie felt a bit more at ease.

To be honest, this mission wasn't difficult; he handled it with ease. The key was that those two guys really made him uncomfortable, and he was even fed a mouthful of 'dog food'.

Honestly, since coming to this world, he hadn't truly had a good understanding of it; he had almost always been training and doing missions.

This could be considered his first vacation, right?

On the way to Marseille, Zhang Jie received a call from Ross.

Ross's mission on that small island had been completed. Fortunately, there were no casualties. After hearing Thor's words upon his return, he called Zhang Jie, which could be considered reporting their safety to each other.

After learning that Zhang Jie was currently in France, Ross simply told Zhang Jie to enjoy his vacation. People who constantly fight and kill also get tired.

"If you have anything in the future, you can tell us directly. We are all family."

These were Ross's last words to Zhang Jie, which warmed Zhang Jie's heart.

Although it had been more than half a month of getting used to each other, Zhang Jie had left an excellent impression on them.

Coupled with two missions and one private mission, Zhang Jie had accumulated a decent reputation within the Sacrifice Squad.

Whether it was Ross, Yin Yang, Christmas, Jensen, Rod, or Caesar, they all spoke highly of Zhang Jie.

They were very much looking forward to Zhang Jie reaching his peak.

Compared to Ling Feng's calmness and silence, Zhang Jie's 'old six' behavior actually earned them more praise.

After some unknown amount of time, after the call ended, Zhang Jie's gaze remained fixed on the window. The scenery constantly flashed by, but he had no mind to watch, as his thoughts were currently replaying all the things he had done recently.

Especially in the past few days, flying directly from New York to Moscow, then from Moscow, there had been continuous turmoil without a break, finally flying to Dubai, and from Dubai to France.

In just a few days, he had crossed four countries, completed two missions, one of which was in cooperation with official forces. It sounded a bit ridiculous, but not entirely so, after all, Anna was also the old woman's granddaughter.

However, these two days had still brought him some growth.

At least in some professional-level skills, he had learned some knowledge.

Soon, Zhang Jie's pupils slowly focused, looking at the scenery outside the window. The best view was from the window seat on the left (sea view + city view), this was Daniel's suggestion.

In the distance, the silver pipeline clusters of the oil refinery and the outlines of dock cranes were visible, the rugged industrial background of Marseille beginning to show.

As the road wound downwards, an boundless cobalt blue suddenly unfolded from the left car window. The Mediterranean Sea spread out to the horizon in an almost flat expanse, with cargo ships floating like still building blocks.

Looking out at the white buildings of Marseille's old town built into the hillside, the golden statue of Notre-Dame de la Garde sparkled at the highest point, and red tiled roofs layered like fish scales down to the bay.

As the taxi continued forward, after an unknown amount of time, the scenery gradually shifted from the Hai Feng Industrial Zone and docks to the city.

Upon entering the city, roadside kebab shops with North African flair appeared, along with walls covered in colorful graffiti, and floral bedsheets drying outside windows; veiled women pushed fruit and vegetable carts, and outdoor cafes were filled with diners of various complexions.

Finally, they arrived at Saint-Charles train station. The magnificent Baroque staircase and marble sculptures greeted them, and at the top of the stairs, a glimpse of the swaying forest of masts in the Old Port could be seen, as the salty sea breeze carried the drumbeats of street bands into the car window.
