Chapter 438 (2/2)

“You know who I am? You lie!” scoffed the assassin.

No one cared about the assassin know for Tigress was already by Ye Lang’s side. She only cared about her father now.

That was why the assassin was now speaking recklessly without a hint of caution.

“You’re Shadow, ranked seventh in the list of top assassins in the mainland. You’re also one of the members of the First Assassins group. Your group has one rule: the kill has to be performed once only. If the assassination fails, you give up and will not send another member!”

“...” The assassin was silent. It was obvious Ye Lang was right.

“Also, the First Assassins consists of nine people, all of them ranked among the top ten assassins of the mainland. However, the number one assassin is not in your team!” continued Ye Lang.

“How are you so sure? How did you know I’m Shadow?” frowned the assassin. These were all closely guarded secrets. Very few know of his code name, much less recognised him.

“You’re the one who said you would only come once! Only a member of the First Assassins would do this. Your fighting capabilities show you’re a master fighter too, not many assassins are as capable as you are, they usually only specialise in hidden assassinations! Like the number one assassin… definitely not as good of a fighter as you- maybe not even fifty percent of your skills but has assassination techniques way, way better than yours.”

Ye Lang kept his crystal seed. “If the number one assassin were here, the chief would have died without a question and we wouldn’t have seen a shadow!”

“...” The assassin was silent once again, the look in his eyes slowly changing. He couldn’t hide the shock in his eyes.

“How did you know? We don’t even know much about the number one assassin, how would you know this person so well?”

Even the people of the world of assassins didn’t know much about the number one assassin. They only knew this was the king of assassins and there wasn’t a victim this assassin couldn’t kill.

Ye Lang grinned. “You want to know? Let’s exchange information then. Who sent you after our chief?”

“That’s impossible, we would never betray our client! It’s fine if you don’t want to tell me. It doesn’t matter if this was a success or a failure, I believe we will not meet again. I shall leave!” the assassin excused himself once again, about to leave.

“Wait!” shouted Ye Lang.

“What now?” asked the assassin.

“I want to know how much the reward for killing the chief was! You can tell me this, right?” asked Ye Lang with a smile.

The assassin thought for a moment, then said, “Five hundred thousand gold coins!”

Five hundred thousand?!

The crowd gasped at the astronomical figure. They knew a reward like this was rare even in the assassin’s world.

It was no wonder this guy pulled out his precious Call of Hades for the job. The reward was worth the risk!
