Chapter 439 (1/2)

Tianji Armour (1)

“I’ll offer you one million gold coins. Kill the people who hired you to assassinate the chief, then kill all the people who are related to the job too!” Ye Lang’s words fell like an asteroid into a calm lake, sending huge waves across the bank.

One million gold coins was a huge sum. On the other hand, no one had ever heard of reverse-hiring an assassin like this.

“Uh…” The assassin hesitated. He had never heard of such a request, he wasn’t sure if this was against the rules.

“Don’t worry, this doesn’t go against any of the principles of the First Assassins! You just have to come like how you usually meet your clients, take the money then kill the people I want to kill. This is the only time I will ask! I have offered my conditions, I wonder if you will accept it?” offered Ye Lang calmly.

“I’ll have to think about it. I’ll come back in a few days for your answer!” The assassin couldn’t confirm not because he thought it was against the rules- with that sum of money, rules could be bent.

As an assassin, he was very clear about how emotional people could be when they realise they had been targets for assassination. His job was to only receive the money then kill, he didn’t care if it was right or wrong.

However, this job was still a peculiar case, he had to ask for a second opinion.

“Alright, I’ll be here for a few days but I hope you can make a decision soon. I’ll be leaving this place!” said Ye Lang.

“I understand, we will give you an answer as soon as possible. Can I ask you a question before I leave?” asked Shadow.

“Ask away!”

“How do you know the God of Assassins so well?” he asked.

“This number one assassin is sort of… my subordinate…” Ye Lang didn’t know how to describe the relationship so he picked a random identity.

“...” The assassin fell silent. With such a casual tone, he thought Ye Lang must be lying.

Whatever, perhaps Ye Lang had once met the number one assassin. He was sure he wasn’t going to get more information from Ye Lang. Then again, knowing more might not even benefit him. Assassins never probe into each other’s business.

Why didn’t he ask about Ye Lang’s identity? Well, that was unnecessary because Ye Lang was no hidden character. Searching up information about him would be easy and he needn’t waste time here.

“Goodbye!” With a flash, he disappeared before everyone’s eyes.

“Master, will my father be okay?” Tigress asked worriedly, grabbing Ye Lang’s arm.
