In the scorching heat that Africa experiences all year round.

Right in the heart of the desert.

The ruthless blazing sun scorches endless desolation.

In the extremely hot desert, where even birds can't be bothered to poop, a secret base was built.

Inside the base, on the training field.

Dozens of people run non-stop around the training field, sweat pouring down at this moment.

"Five more laps! Keep going! I believe in you, let's do this!"

Under the parasol, Ninghao, stylish in his sunglasses, lies leisurely on a chair, slowly chewing a watermelon slice in his hand, his movements more delicate than a woman's.

Under these circumstances, having a slice of watermelon is like encountering an oasis in a desert.

Despite the soldiers running so vigorously, they can't help but stare enviously at Ninghao's watermelon slice, their longing gaze resembling that of hungry wolves.

Upon hearing Ninghao's words, they shudder timelessly.

"Ning, the instructor, is nothing less than a devil, half an hour chewing a slice of watermelon, it's killing me seeing him like this!"

"Have to bear with it! In Dark Dragon organization, among the 10 instructors, it is Instructor Ninghao who is the best at torturing fresh recruits!"

Looking at this crowd of rookie recruits, Ninghao enjoys his watermelon with a contented face. His other hand is also not idle, from time to time he picks at his nose, then flings the booger away with a flick of his fingertips with great skill and nonchalance. One could tell he's done this often.

"Dammit, it's such a hot weather that even the boogers can't gather!"

After fiddling around for a while, a disappointed Ning Hao decided to just give up and start fiddling with his ear.

Ning Hao is affiliated with the Dark Dragon organization, an organization that ranks within the top ten of the world's underworld organizations.

As the Chief Instructor of the Dark Dragon and one of its ten great instructors, Ning Hao is certainly a name that resounds brightly. Otherwise, how could he possibly become the instructor of a global assassination organization?

Moreover, the chief among the great instructors?

In the underworld, Ning Hao is known as the 'Dark Reaper'.

And it took only five years for

Ning Hao's information to appear in the offices of the world's leaders.

The volume of information about Ning Hao in these offices has piled up almost like a mountain.

Of course, apart from Ning Hao's codename in the underworld, the 'Dark Reaper', and his exceptional assassination record, there is no other real, useful information.

As for Ning Hao's secrets, real name, native place, national affiliation, and so forth, the intelligence agencies of various countries have yet to gain real control of this information.

"Ning Hao, you certainly seem to be taking it easy,"

At this moment, a pleasant voice sounded from beside Ning Hao.

A tall, fair-skinned woman was seen coldly looking at Ning Hao, who was lying on the couch with an enjoyable expression on his face.

The woman had her hair in a ponytail, wearing a white short-sleeved top and tight jeans that revealed her sexy legs, causing one to think of the popular internet phrase 'leg years'.

What's even more unforgettable is the woman's extremely beautiful face, aloof yet not lacking elegance, inevitably sparking admiration in others.

"Yuna."

Upon seeing the woman, Ning Hao immediately removed his sunglasses and blurted out the woman’s name.

Yuna, one of the top ten instructors of the Dark Dragon organization, is the only woman among them. In the global underworld, her codename is 'Blood Rose'.

Despite her astonishing beauty resembling a rose, those familiar with her know that this rose has thorns. Careless handling could lead to bleeding, or even death. Those who disrespect her become ghosts beneath her gun.

However, there was one exception—Ning Hao.

Seeing Yuna arriving, Ning Hao quickly made some room for her, grinning wickedly as he stared at her, chattering cheerfully, "Nana, come over here, sit next to me. Wow...You seem to have grown a lot in just two hours! Let me check!"

"Drop dead!"

Faced with a lecherous Ning Hao who was making suggestive expressions at her, a blush appeared on Yuna’s frosty face.

If anybody else had said this, without hesitation, Yuna would have blown their brains out with a pull of her gun. But Ning Hao was different, this man who had made the underworld quake with fear in just five years possessed an allure that was difficult to fathom.

"The Chief has issued an order, he wants you to return home immediately!"

Struggling to regain her composure, Yuna once again resumed her aloof demeanor. Her right hand, which was previously behind her back, stretched out, holding a document, which she handed to Ning Hao who was lounging on the beach chair.

Ning Hao took the document from Yuna's hand and opened it immediately. After a cursory scan, he swore, "Damn it! They actually want me to protect a little girl! What the hell? This is totally beneath me!"

Ning Hao, dissatisfied, thrust the document back to Yuna and said, "I won’t!"

"This is an order from the Chief!"

Yuna retorted coldly.

"Even if it's an order from the emperor himself, I won't go!"

Ning Hao breathlessly propped up his head with both hands, turning his gaze towards the trainees straining on the training field, shouting, "One more round, push harder, or dinner will be cancelled tonight!"

"Do you really not intend to go?"

Yu Na inquired tentatively.

"No, I won't!"

Ning Hao waved his hand impatiently. He found the heat of Africa a smidge intolerable, but to munch on watermelons every day, and put the new recruits through their paces, this worry-free life was what Ning Hao yearned for.

Head back to the homeland to protect a little girl?

For Ning Hao, it was hilariously absurd.

"Well, then!"

Upon hearing this, Yu Na shrugged, indicating indifference with her open hands and stated, "Dragon Head had planned to pair the two of us together, but seeing that you are so lazy, I'm a bit disappointed. After all, a man who loves his work is my first criterion for choosing a mate!"

"What?"

Ning Hao immediately jumped up, his face could not hide the surprise. He keenly looked at Yu Na and excitedly asked, "Are you serious?"

"There's no point in lying to you!" Yu Na's expression was serious.

"Great! I am going back to pack my bags right now!" Saying this, without giving Yu Na any chance to explain, Ning Hao oiled his soles and whizzed back inside the base.

After a while, Ning Hao came out with his luggage, and said to Yu Na, "You'd better remember what you've promised. After this mission, we'll become a couple!"

Upon hearing this, Yu Na nodded seriously, but a touch of mischief flashed through her vibrant eyes.

"Coach, are you leaving now?"

After finishing their training, the recruits came running over, their faces filled with reluctance.

"Ah! In the days to come without me, you guys have to train hard and don't slack off!"

Whilst saying this, Ning Hao patted each of the recruits on their shoulders, shaking his head in sigh.

After such a reluctant farewell, Ning Hao headed directly towards the off-road vehicle that had been parked at the base gate for some time.

"Woo... Coach Ning finally left!"

"Don't be so sad, hey--"

"What the hell is wrong with you, I'm crying out of joy, finally no one's here to torture us!"

"Woo... Yeah, the devil is finally gone!"

At the side, Yu Na's mouth twitched unconsciously a few times, and she couldn't help wondering, how would Ning Hao feel if he heard what these recruits were saying?

Thinking of this, the corner of Yu Na's mouth curled up slightly, revealing a faint smile. With this smile, all the flowers seemed to lose their color!

Airport in Africa.

The Dark Dragon organization had already bought his plane ticket. After going through security, Ning Hao boarded the flight back home without looking back.
