Chapter 117 An Assassination Mission

When Xu Jingming entered, the Blood Rain World was at dusk, the setting sun had not yet completely descended, and the red glow reflected half the sky.

Standing by the window, looking at the sky, Xu Jingming returned to the bed and sat cross-legged, visualizing and refining his heart.

…

Day passed, and night fell.

Inside the study, candlelight flickered, and Young Master Chang Yi read alone.

Suddenly, he heard footsteps outside, followed by a "bang, bang, bang" knock on the door.

"Young Master," Qing Yu said from outside.

"Come in," Chang Yi put down his book.

Qing Yu then pushed the door open and immediately closed it behind her. Her face looked a little unpleasant as she said, "Young Master, I just took the broker to Master Wang's mansion and presented the drafted transfer contract, but that Master Wang is too greedy."

"Greedy?" Chang Yi looked at her.

"Master Wang said that he heard that the Flowery Moon Gang sent hundreds of people to intercept us on the street, and he was afraid of offending the Flowery Moon Gang, so he was unwilling to buy it." Qing Yu said with some annoyance, "If he really had to buy it, he would only be willing to pay 1,000 taels of silver. That greedy old fellow agreed to 2,000 taels of silver at noon and said it was a deal, but in the evening he changed his mind and said 1,000 taels."

Chang Yi laughed and looked at Qing Yu with a smile, "Don't be angry, there's no need to. That's how merchants do things, how could they not cut prices when they have the chance?"

"We can't sell it at such a low price," Qing Yu said, "and we were ambushed by the Flowery Moon Gang's Feng Hu (Phoenix Lake) Hall just to meet with Master Wang at noon."

"It has nothing to do with Master Wang."

Chang Yi put down his book and said, "We have been targeted by the Flowery Moon Gang's Feng Hu Hall. As long as we go out, no matter who we meet, we may be ambushed. This fight… was also within my expectations. This battle is also to let all forces know that I, Chang Yi, am not to be trifled with!"

"Adopting the Blood Rain Guard Commander as my adoptive father is intimidating. As long as they dare to deal with me, the commander will definitely take the opportunity to extort." Chang Yi said, "The identity of the Blood Rain Guard Commander's adopted son is enough to save me a lot of trouble."

"But just having an identity is not enough, I also need to be strong enough, so there was the street fight today." Chang Yi said, "In this way, few people in Lan Yue City will dare to plot against me. I will also have enough time to slowly sell my property!"

Qing Yu nodded, "If it were up to me, I would have killed that Master Wang long ago."

"Qing Yu, my dear." Chang Yi comforted, "I have been in the Blood Rain World for many years and I know some of the rules of this world very well. You should restrain your temper, after all, this time I'm betting everything I have!"

"Alright, you're paying the money, so I'll listen to you." Qing Yu smiled.

Qing Yu and Chang Yi were from the same cosmic civilization, although they were from different life planets. They had a deep friendship in the virtual world network in the past, so Chang Yi invited 'Qing Yu' to help this time.

"Three brokers are helping me find a buyer." Young Master Chang Yi smiled, "The price I'm giving is also relatively cheap. There are still many families and forces with backgrounds in Lan Yue City. I will definitely be able to sell it within three months. But I can't rush it! If I rush it, there will be problems."

"So we just wait now?" Qing Yu asked.

"Can't wait."

Chang Yi shook his head, "With the gang's temper, if they fail once, their next attack will be even more ruthless. We can't always be on the defensive. Here, take this token and go to Lai Fu Inn on Bei Feng Street."

Qing Yu saw a token in front of her, with three strange blood-colored patterns on it.

"Lai Fu Inn on Bei Feng Street?" Qing Yu asked in confusion.

"Conceal your identity, go to Lai Fu Inn, meet the shopkeeper, and show him the token. He will naturally take you inside the inn." Young Master Chang Yi said, "This inn is actually the Lan Yue City stronghold of the assassin organization 'Seven Killings Tower'. I remember half a month ago, there was a mission to put a bounty on Dong Xiao, the deputy leader of the Flowery Moon Gang's Feng Hu Hall. Use my token to accept this mission. Seven Killings Tower only recognizes the token, not the person."

"Dong Xiao, the deputy leader of the Flowery Moon Gang's Feng Hu Hall?" Qing Yu nodded slightly, "What if the mission is gone?"

"Then change the mission. Any other second-rate expert from Feng Hu Hall is fine, as long as it's not the hall leader." Young Master Chang Yi said, "Killing the hall leader will cause a lot of trouble."

"Okay," Qing Yu nodded.

…

About half an hour later, in the dark of night, there were hardly any people on Bei Feng Street.

Lai Fu Inn was a relatively small inn, with only a few wooden tables on the first floor, and a waiter dozing off at one of them. The shopkeeper was standing behind the counter, calculating accounts.

Suddenly, a gray-clothed person wearing a bamboo hat walked in. The hat was pulled down, covering most of their face. They walked to the counter and showed the token.

The shopkeeper glanced at the token and his expression remained unchanged.

"Please follow me." The shopkeeper walked directly into the inn. The gray-clothed person followed, and through a hidden passage, they arrived at an underground hall, where three old men were busy.

An old man greeted the gray-clothed person, "Esteemed Three Killings Lord, are you here to issue a mission or to accept one?"

"Accept a mission," the gray-clothed person said.

"These are all the missions in Lan Yue City, and these are the missions in the surrounding area." The old man immediately brought over two thick books.

…

Chang Yi was very cautious. He had been in the Blood Rain World for many years and his strength was naturally extraordinary, but this time he had invested too much and dared not take risks. Whenever he went out, he was always surrounded by a large group of guards.

Bang, bang, bang, finally came the sound of knocking on the door.

Soon Qing Yu came in.

"How is it?" Chang Yi looked at her.

"I accepted the mission." Qing Yu nodded, "Dong Xiao, the deputy leader of the Flowery Moon Gang's Feng Hu Hall!"

Chang Yi nodded in satisfaction.

"The people from Seven Killings Tower said that it must be resolved within three days, otherwise the mission will be considered a failure." Qing Yu looked at Chang Yi with a smile, "I just didn't expect that you would actually become a 'Three Killings' level assassin in Seven Killings Tower."

"I've been in the Blood Rain World for so many years, of course I have some accumulation." Chang Yi said, "Go and invite Mr. Lu and the other two over."

Qing Yu nodded.

A moment later—

Xu Jingming, Mr. Lu, and Zi Teng girl came to the study. They were all a little confused. It was almost the end of their work hours today, and this Young Master Chang was still calling for them.

"Everyone." Chang Yi sat there, smiling at the three of them, "There is an assassination mission now. Even if the assassination fails, each of you will receive an extra bonus of 150,000 universe coins. If the assassination is successful, each of you will be rewarded with 300,000 universe coins."

Xu Jingming, Mr. Lu, and Zi Teng girl exchanged glances and smiled.

150,000 even if it fails?

Even if they died once, they could spend 100,000 to come back in, and still earn extra.

"If the assassination fails, you may die. But you still have to continue to carry out the task of protecting me," Chang Yi said.

"Okay."

"No problem."

Xu Jingming and the other two nodded.

This mission could only make money, not lose!

"The target of the mission is Dong Xiao, the deputy leader of the Flowery Moon Gang's Feng Hu Hall." Chang Yi said, "This Dong Xiao is a second-rate expert, and his residence is heavily guarded. You must be careful."

Xu Jingming and the other two nodded. If it were a native second-rate expert, they might worry about the danger of death! But Xu Jingming and the other two had only been in the 'Blood Rain World' for a short time. Even if they died, they would just spend 100,000 universe coins to come back in.

"This is detailed information about Dong Xiao." Chang Yi took out a book from the side and handed it over, "I hope you can resolve Dong Xiao in the second half of tonight."

"Alright."

Zi Teng girl reached out and took it, "If there's nothing else, we'll leave first. We have to prepare the assassination plan."

"You can go and prepare," Chang Yi said with a smile.

Then Zi Teng girl, Xu Jingming, and Mr. Lu left together.

"The three of them working together have a great chance of success," Chang Yi said.

"I admire you."

Qing Yu praised, "The reward for the mission to kill Dong Xiao is 200 taels of silver. Converted into universe coins, that's almost 2 million universe coins! To hire the three of them, even if they succeed, it's only an extra cost of 900,000 universe coins, so you still make a profit."

"I'm a businessman, after all." Chang Yi smiled brightly.
