Chapter 1540 The Mysterious Assassin
- In the early hours of the morning, at three o'clock, inside the top suite of the Kyoto Grand Hotel, Chen Ce and Song Yanran were fast asleep. Chen Ce, in a deep slumber, was suddenly awakened by a faint noise resembling a cat landing. As he opened his eyes in the darkness, he noticed that the room was dimly lit, with only the moonlight seeping through the window. The cold breeze of the early morning caused the curtains to sway gently, and Chen Ce squinted to see that the window, which was closed before bedtime, was now open.
- Realizing that someone had sneaked in, Chen Ce swiftly grabbed a pillow to block a dagger that was aimed at his carotid artery. The assassin, identified as S1, was surprised that her sneak attack had been thwarted by Chen Ce's quick reflexes. In a swift motion, she slashed at the pillow, only to have the swan feathers inside turn into arrows and shoot towards her.
- As the confrontation escalated, Chen Ce got out of bed, dressed himself, and faced the assassin with a calm demeanor. S1, impressed by Chen Ce's strength and agility, launched another attack, which was met with equal force from Chen Ce. The intense battle between the two resulted in a destructive collision, shattering everything in the room.
