Lily, standing beside him, hadn't expected Ye Kunlun to kill the King of Gray Wolves so directly. After all, he had just spared her life.
"Master, if you kill him, it might provoke endless pursuit from the werewolves of the West! You'll be in big trouble!" Lily said with some worry. Since she had chosen to become Ye Kunlun's servant, she had to care about his safety.
"Pursuit?" Ye Kunlun acted as if he had heard a joke. "Aren't there enough assassins tonight?"
Lily was stunned! Yes, even she and the King of Gray Wolves had attacked, and both had been defeated by Ye Kunlun! What difference would it make if the werewolf tribe sent more assassins? Unless the Werewolf King himself made a move. Lily knew her worries were unnecessary.
But she couldn't quite understand why Ye Kunlun had spared her life while killing the King of Gray Wolves, who had also begged for mercy.
Ye Kunlun, sensing Lily's confusion, replied indifferently, "I have no interest in male servants!" With that, Ye Kunlun looked outside the Wujian Prison. "How many more assassins are there? Why don't you all come out together?" he called out. "Otherwise, you won't have any more time."
Ye Kunlun glanced at his watch; it was almost midnight, the deadline for the mission. However, after both Lily and the King of Gray Wolves were defeated by Ye Kunlun, no one dared to make another move against him.
Meanwhile.
The Qiao family residence was brightly lit. As news of the assassins being killed reached the Qiao family, Qiao Wangnian's expression grew more solemn with each report. Only when Lily appeared did his face relax slightly.
"Lily is the second-ranked assassin on the Dark List, Father. She can definitely kill Ye Kunlun!" Qiao Song said from the side.
"I hope so!" Qiao Wangnian dared not relax his vigilance. He looked at the old butler and asked, "Is the private jet ready?"
"It can take off anytime!" the old butler replied. Qiao Wangnian had made preparations for both scenarios. If the mission to kill Ye Kunlun failed, he would take his family and flee China, escaping overseas. With the Qiao family's assets, they could live comfortably and worry-free for generations abroad.
Qiao Wangnian nodded. This was his last resort. Unless absolutely necessary, he would never abandon everything in China. He checked the time; there were less than fifteen minutes left, but no news from Lily had come back yet.
Just then, a subordinate rushed in, "Boss, Lily, Lily failed..."
Qiao Wangnian's face turned ashen. Even a top assassin ranked second on the Dark List had failed, meaning the mission was a complete failure. He quickly ordered Qiao Song and his family, "Board the plane immediately!"
Qiao Wangnian made his decision instantly. Thinking of the ruthless Ye Kunlun, he didn't want to linger for a moment and just wanted to escape quickly. With over ten minutes to spare before midnight, he had to leave as soon as possible.
The Qiao family quickly boarded the plane; everything was ready. Suddenly, the pilot exclaimed, "Boss, there's a problem! The plane can't find a radar signal and cannot take off for now!"
"What?" Qiao Wangnian shivered at the pilot's words. "How could the radar signal suddenly disappear? It was fine just now."
The pilot looked out the window. "It's been foggy all night, and the weather forecast also predicted thunderstorms. It might be the reason."
"Damn it!" Qiao Wangnian was somewhat frantic. "I don't care about thunderstorms; find a way to take off immediately!"
The pilot looked troubled and replied nervously, "Boss, without radar, flying at night is like flying blind. Forcing a takeoff is extremely risky."
Qiao Wangnian gritted his teeth and immediately ordered, "You retired from the military, can't you fly the plane without a radar signal?" He gave the pilot a confident look. "I believe in you!"
"Okay!" The pilot agreed. When he was in the military, he could indeed fly without a radar signal. However, many years had passed, but the skill remained. Since Qiao Wangnian had given the order, he no longer worried.
With a roar, the plane took off!
—
Wujian Prison.
Not a single assassin stepped forward. When the mission time was up, they all retreated. The temptation of two hundred billion was great, but they knew they wouldn't live to spend it.
Ye Kunlun retracted his gaze and looked at Lily. "Your eyes can still recover, it just needs some time. Will you find a place to stay yourself, or stay here for now?"
"Master, may your subordinate recuperate here?" Lily asked with a firm tone, fearing Ye Kunlun might refuse.
Ye Kunlun said to Feng Tutu, "Tutu, find a clean room for her."
Feng Tutu glanced at Lily. "Follow me!"
Tang Zhuozhuo couldn't help but ask, "Ye Kunlun, are there still assassins outside?"
Ye Kunlun shook his head. "No more, a bunch of cowards. I thought there would be stronger assassins."
Upon hearing this, Tang Zhuozhuo breathed a sigh of relief and quickly poured Ye Kunlun a cup of tea. "Drink some water and rest."
Ye Kunlun took the tea, paused, and then brought it to his lips, about to drink.
"Ye Kunlun!" Nangong Yunshao suddenly spoke.
"What? Everyone is dead. You have no business here, you can leave now, right?" Ye Kunlun looked at Nangong Yunshao indifferently.
Nangong Yunshao seemed to want to speak but stopped, her gaze complex.
"Mysterious!" Ye Kunlun drained the tea in the cup.
"I owe you, and I will repay you!" With that, Nangong Yunshao left Wujian Prison.
Tang Zhuozhuo complained with some annoyance, "What did Nangong Yunshao mean by that just now? What do you owe her?" Tang Zhuozhuo was a little confused.
A cold glint appeared in Ye Kunlun's eyes, and the cup in his hand turned to dust. Tang Zhuozhuo was startled. "What's wrong?"
"This tea is poisoned!" Ye Kunlun shook his head, killing intent bursting from his eyes. "Gu Changsheng, hehe... it seems you can't wait any longer."
"Wh-what?" Tang Zhuozhuo was dumbfounded. The tea was personally poured by her for Ye Kunlun, and Ye Kunlun actually said it was poisoned.
"Impossible, I poured this tea myself..." Tang Zhuozhuo quickly poured herself a cup of tea and was about to drink it.
*Crack!*
Ye Kunlun slapped her hand, and the teacup fell to the ground. The grass near his feet touched the tea and instantly turned black and withered!
Tang Zhuozhuo's face turned pale. "It wasn't me who poisoned it, Ye Kunlun, are you alright?!" Blood Hand and Jun Xinglan were also stunned by this scene. They were all there and hadn't seen anyone poison it. How could the water in the teapot be poisoned?
"I know it wasn't you!" Ye Kunlun's eyes remained cold. "The poison was put in by Nangong Yunshao!"
"It was her?!" Tang Zhuozhuo was enraged when she heard this. "Damn it, that bitch Nangong Yunshao actually poisoned it! I'll kill her!" Saying that, the furious Tang Zhuozhuo rushed outside.
Ye Kunlun pulled her back. "No rush, let's play along!" Ye Kunlun narrowed his eyes and said coldly.
