Fantasy Assassin in a modern world

160 I know who you are

After the incident with the Gigantes was done, Loki met up with Matsuri and his siblings. Upon arriving at their meeting spot the first thing he saw was a crying Alisa and a distressed Liam. The moment the trio noticed Loki’s presence they lunged toward him.

The trio practically jumped at the same time knocking Loki down, Loki almost evaded but stopped himself and allowed the three to jump on him. Normally, this kind of thing wouldn’t be able to push Loki but because of his injuries he almost coughed out blood, but he held it in.

“Big brother!!! I’m so glad that you’re safe!”

Alisa was crying so badly that a little bit of snot was coming out of her nose. If any classmate saw Alisa’s current look they would be shocked to see their perfect Goddess become a sniveling child. Even Liam who was usually hard on his big brother was red-eyed when he looked at Loki.

“Stupid! Why did you go out alone?! If you wanted to be a hero you should’ve brought me! A loser like you can’t do it.”

Even though he was truly worried for his big brother, Liam continued to speak in a rather haughty tone while holding back his tears.

“It’s alright you guys. I’ve just got a few bruises here and there but overall I’m alive and kicking aren’t I?”

When they heard what Loki said Alisa once again burst into tears even the hard-headed Liam was leaking a tear or two.

“We need to go to a hospital!” Matsuri grabbed Loki’s hand and wanted to pull him.

.....

“Yes, that’s right! We need to get big brother into a hospital! Where are the wounds? Show me!” Alisa didn’t even bother to hear Loki’s reply and pulled up his clothes. What she saw made her feel like something was gripping her heart wanting to crush it.

Underneath Loki’s shirt was a body full of wounds, there were many bruises and open wounds of varying sizes she even noticed some stitches here and there.

Even though Loki as Fade has a success rate of a hundred percent, and the techniques and experiences of his former self were clear in his mind, the body he was in was not his former body. The body of Loki was stronger than most but it was nothing compared to Fade’s old body, and even back then as powerful as he was Loki was still vulnerable. So every now and then during his jobs he would get hurt, but he couldn’t go to a hospital so using some herbs the mana in his body, and stitching, he was able to somehow heal himself.

Normally Loki would try his best to stop Alisa and the others from seeing what was under his shirt, but with his current state, it was almost impossible. So now his siblings and Matsuri have seen one of his secrets.

“Big Brother!!! What the h*ll are these things?! How did you get them?!”

Alisa nearly fainted when she saw how many wounds her big brother had. Even Liam frowned when he saw those wounds on his big brother and then he remembered a vague memory of his big brother saving him from some thugs. Now coupled with the memories of the accident before and the way he challenged Kira, something in Liam’s mind started to click together.

‘Don’t tell me he has been secretly protecting us from the shadows?’

As someone who likes reading some webnovels, Liam was already imagining a whole lot of weird scenarios. He was starting to think that maybe his older brother had become a martial artist long before they did and he was hiding it. Liam then remembered a rumor he heard before.

It was about a man going around from place to place beating up famous delinquent groups near their area. This person has been doing this way before Fade came.

‘Maybe big bro was the one...’ As Liam’s imagination was going wild, Loki shook his head and responded.

“There’s no need to go to the hospital. Right now there are many more people in a worse situation than I, and I’m sure every hospital will be filled to the brim.”

When the trio heard what Loki said they knew what he said was right, so they had no choice but to rely on themselves for now. The three then helped Loki walk to somewhere they can rest.

...

While Loki was being pampered, Tang Ao was frowning as looked at the message he received. The message was about a group of people suspected to be the culprits behind this Gigantes attack, there were even pictures of each individual. Yet for Tang Ao at the moment, the content of the message was not the most shocking but receiving the message itself was.

The phone that received the message was his own private phone number which only three people in the entire world know about, and the person who sent him the message was none of those three people.

Tang Ao was also amazed by the fact that the person who sent the message with pictures was actually able to spot the perpetrators and take pictures without being noticed.

The level of the group of people that infiltrated the city was not low. Even with the power of the Elite Dragon Brigade, it was difficult to find these people. Before receiving the message the only thing Tang Ao knew was that the release of the Gigantes was no accident, but he had no clue who did it. At first, he thought that the Alchemist was behind the incident but quickly dismissed the idea. The Alchemist was not one to indulge himself in such open destruction.

...

The cameras in the city have been disabled, and everyone was too busy running away or trying to save lives to even bother noticing this strange group of people. Now when he looked at the pictures of the people involved dTang Ao noticed two figures that seem vaguely familiar.

The people in the picture were obviously moving in a way that avoids detection, even though they already disabled the CCTVs they looked to be actively avoiding the CCTVs. Still, the picture Tang Ao received was able to capture their faces and after thinking for a while Tang Ao came to a realization.

“I know these two!” Tang Ao in a panic called someone.
