Qin Hanchu’s expression remained unchanged. He first took a bite of meat, then placed another piece into the pot.
While swirling the meat, he asked, “Who are you? You don’t look like an enforcer.”
“The Round Table Society, an organization directly under the royal family.” The leader in black placed his emblem on the table.
Qin Hanchu merely glanced at it before looking away. “If you have evidence that it was me, you can arrest me.”
“We will investigate,” the leader in black said with a smile. “I’m very curious, who did you offend to have a bounty of one hundred million yuan placed on your head?”
“A bounty of one hundred million to kill me? Can I kill myself?” Qin Hanchu smiled.
The leader in black stared at Qin Hanchu. “There’s another question, where is Uncle Tai from Jinhan Entertainment? Why would he give you all his assets?”
“He lost, so he has to accept the consequences of losing.”
“As for where he went, I’m not entirely sure.”
“Is there anything else? If not, please don’t disturb my meal.”
“If you have proof that I did it, I will go with you.”
With that, Qin Hanchu continued eating.
The leader in black smiled, then stood up and sat down elsewhere.
“Sir, could you please leave? The restaurant needs to temporarily close.” A server walked over.
The leader in black said, “Let him continue eating here, it’s fine.”
Seeing that someone from the enforcement side had spoken, the server had no choice but to try and persuade the other customers to leave.
Before long, the forensic doctor and the forensics team arrived.
In front of Qin Hanchu, they began their preliminary examination and evidence collection.
“Strange, what caused this wound?”
Seeing the victim’s wound, the forensic doctor frowned in surprise.
“Toothpicks? How is that possible?”
Just then, someone collecting evidence pulled out two bloodstained toothpicks from the chair’s foam padding.
They could hardly believe their own suspicions. Could these two toothpicks be the murder weapons?
How was this possible?
How could toothpicks penetrate the bodies of two victims and also pierce into the backrest of the chair?
Yet, both the victims’ wounds and the evidence at the scene proved that these two toothpicks were the murder weapons.
At the same time, the leader in black was in the surveillance room, viewing the security footage of the buffet restaurant.
Qin Hanchu had been sitting at his seat eating the entire time, and he had indeed made no unusual movements.
As he was repeatedly watching the surveillance footage for clues, a subordinate rushed to his side.
“Boss, the forensic doctor and evidence collection results are out.” A Round Table member said gravely, “The two victims were killed by two toothpicks piercing their hearts. The toothpicks penetrated their bodies and even lodged into the chair’s backrest.”
“What?” The leader in black’s eyes widened in shock. “Two toothpicks?”
“Yes, two toothpicks.”
The leader in black seemed to have thought of something. He said, “Tell everyone to withdraw. This matter is not under our jurisdiction.”
“Could it be?”
“Yes, report it to the Martial Arts Administration.”
Although the leader in black was very strong, he was at most a ninth-grade martial artist.
Being able to kill with toothpicks was definitely the strength of a Grandmaster.
Such a person should be handled by the Martial Arts Administration.
When the leader in black returned to the buffet restaurant with his men, Qin Hanchu was still slowly eating.
The leader in black walked up to Qin Hanchu and sat down again. He said, “I didn’t expect you to have a Grandmaster-level expert by your side. However, even so, you cannot act with impunity. Let me remind you, there are also Grandmaster experts in the Black Tower.”
Qin Hanchu’s eyes flickered. Since this person could mention Grandmasters, it meant that martial arts existed in this world.
He just didn’t know how developed martial arts were in this world.
If they could glean some information from his Divine Seal, it should allow their martial arts to advance by several levels.
“What Grandmaster? Are you guys too engrossed in your games?” Qin Hanchu chuckled.
The leader in black said, “You don’t need to hide it. These people were assassins from the Black Tower. Killing them is considered eliminating a menace for the Kingdom of Nanmo.”
Qin Hanchu put down his chopsticks. “I’m full, I’m going home to rest.”
Seeing Qin Hanchu leave, the leader in black took out his phone and made a call.
Meanwhile, at the Nanmo Kingdom’s Black Tower branch.
“Steward, according to the information we’ve obtained, Ye Changqing definitely has a Grandmaster-level martial artist protecting him.”
“This mission cannot be assigned to ordinary bounty hunters anymore.”
The Black Tower branch steward asked in surprise, “Protected by a Grandmaster martial artist?”
“Latest news, the Black Wind Twin Fiends were killed by two toothpicks piercing their hearts.”
“Anyone capable of such a feat is definitely at the Grandmaster level.”
The branch steward nodded. “Temporarily revoke the mission. Also, contact the mission issuer and increase the bounty to two hundred million yuan. If they agree to raise the bounty, then contact headquarters to issue a Grandmaster bounty mission.”
…
In another city, the chairman of Wansheng and the chairman of Zhongcheng were drinking and chatting in a villa.
The chairman of Zhongcheng sighed. “Why is there still no news? With such a high bounty, many people should be fighting to kill him.”
“Indeed, it should be very easy to kill him with a sniper rifle.”
As wealthy individuals, they could live a life of luxury wherever they went.
However, they still wanted to return to Jianghai City as soon as possible.
Just as the two were chatting, a phone call came in.
Seeing the special number on the phone, the chairman of Wansheng said, “It’s a call from the Black Tower. They should have news.”
“Answer it quickly.”
The chairman of Wansheng immediately answered the phone. “Is the matter handled?”
“After our assessment, the mission difficulty has exceeded the execution scope of ordinary bounty hunters.”
“If you wish to continue the mission, the bounty needs to be increased to over two hundred million yuan.”
“If you wish to cancel the mission, we will provide a full refund.”
“Please state your choice.”
The voice on the phone made the chairman of Wansheng’s expression turn grim. Without hesitation, he said, “Increase the bounty.”
“Understood. Please transfer the remaining bounty to our account as soon as possible.”
“Upon receiving the additional payment, the mission will be issued within three hours, with an estimated mission duration of seven days.”
The chairman of Wansheng directly hung up the phone. He looked at the chairman of Zhongcheng. “The Black Tower has raised the mission difficulty level, asking us to increase the bounty to two hundred million.”
“It seems they’ve lost quite a few people.” Recalling Qin Hanchu’s terrifying power, the chairman of Zhongcheng felt a lingering fear. “I’ll transfer the money to you. This mission must be completed. If he doesn’t die, it might be us who die.”
“Indeed, that’s what I’m thinking too.”
Although the Black Tower strictly protected the identity of its clients, Qin Hanchu could guess that it was these two who had issued the bounty mission.
Under these circumstances, there was no turning back for him and them.
Now, either Qin Hanchu dies, or they die!
