CHAPTER 44: WAITING ALONE

“Hmm, there are very few newbies in the a.s.sa.s.sination world,

because they are recruited by the former a.s.sa.s.sins and this profession has no

such thing called “Mother of success and failures”.  The a.s.sa.s.sination career will not provide you

skills during the process. Failure means danger and death, so when an a.s.sa.s.sin

is recruited, he must already be a qualified killer. Just as now I’m telling

you, if you want to be an a.s.sa.s.sin, you need to understand a lot of things!”

The old man was seducing like the big bad wolf in the Red Riding Hood tale,

constantly tempting Zhang Yang to join the a.s.sa.s.sin industry.

“Good or not, I am a student, I don’t want to commit

crimes.” Unfortunately, Zhang Yang wasn’t captivated.

“Then. Why’d you f.u.c.king ask?” The old man was a little

depressed.

“Hey, having more knowledge is always good, and in case I

make a fortune and someone tries to kill me, I am better prepared.”

“….” The old man was silent. He put down the newspaper and

lied on the couch, with serious disappointment on his face.

“Uncle Li, it’s past noon, time for lunch. I’ll get going

now.”

“You can eat here, hey, uncle Li has a lonely life. Finding

someone to talk isn’t easy for me ah … Join me, drink some wine, try some

dishes from next door …remember you had stewed beef and peanuts. And also get a

bottle of wine from the small shop on the side, you needn’t to pay for that now,

I usually pay there at the end of the month …”

The old man took out a hundred Yuan bill and handed it to

Zhang Yang.

“Gee Uncle Li …” As Zhang Yang stood up and took the money

from the old man’s hand, the three men from earlier came out. While the three

men exited the alley, the young man at the front had a proud look on his face

and the other two men in a bodyguard like suit were each carrying a heavy black

plastic bag. They were vigilantly looking around and even reckoned Zhang Yang

looking at them.

“Ah ..it’s okay. Let them go.” The old man didn’t take a

look outside but Zhang Yang could feel the old man’s eyes flash a little bit.

Zhang Yang was confused looking at the old man, and when he

looked outside at those three men, he always had a troubled feeling in his

heart, because the old man’s actions were a little unreasonable but Zhang Yang

couldn’t think of any particular reason. Zhang Yang was sure that those three

had nothing to do with the old man because when they appeared the first day,

the old man didn’t show any reaction. It wasn’t until a few days before, his

heart-throbbing aura appeared.

If it has nothing to do with the old man, is it related to

the casino?

The casino is just a place to gamble, what conflict would

there be? According to Liu Biao, the casino is fair. It is not that type of

casino that lays down traps, but similar to the large international casinos in

Macau. It was reasonable to a.s.sume that there were no contradictions between

the two. So why does the old man have such an intense murderous aura?

Zhang Yang had unprecedented doubts, but it was a tedious

matter to put his mind into. It had nothing to do with him. He didn’t even know

what the casino inside was like. He just knew that the casino is said to have

nearly 20 years of history.
