In the shadows, Jiang Youchen exuded a cold, heavy aura, his gaze a silent, oppressive weight.
Gu Nian stared back, his face devoid of expression.
Jiang Youchen's chilling gaze swept him up and down before he scoffed in disdain. "What can you do besides play the victim?"
The young man raised an eyebrow. "I can also kill."
The words had barely left his lips when a dagger appeared in Gu Nian's hand. Like an arrow loosed from its bow, he shot straight toward Jiang Youchen.
The dagger reflected a cold, blindingly white light.
The man stood his ground, motionless.
Just as the blade was about to reach him, Jiang Youchen suddenly looked up.
In that instant, the very air seemed to stretch. Outside the window, the swaying leaves froze mid-arc, and Gu Nian's movements slowed to a visible crawl.
Jiang Youchen's Superpower was "Time Stop."
As the name implied, it could slow or briefly halt the flow of time.
For an Assassin, speed was the deadliest weapon.
