Chapter 929: A Must Not Be Broken Rule
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
Spectre was indeed very bored now, to the point that he thought that it would be so funny if he teased these two idiots. He nearly burst into laughter upon seeing how panicked and horrified they were.
It’s been 13 years.
It was the time he had been confined in mental training that nearly choked him to death. And thus, the moment he came to Shanghai from Jingmen Island, he could be said to have turned into a talker. He gossipped with the girl who sold tickets, chatted with the tourists on the bus, talked with the driver, and even had chit-chat with the security guards at the gate. Shortly put, he literally spewed out anything he had in mind and was unwilling to miss any chance to chat with anyone.
It was because of the phrase, “a day in heaven is equal to a year on Earth”.
Only now did he thoroughly understand what this line meant. Back when he came to the Everlasting Feast Hall’s HQ in Jingmen Island, a celestial maiden-like woman threw him into a bizarre array. What was more unbelievable was that he had experienced years inside. It wasn’t until he came out of the array that he found out that it was a time-accelerating array, and the woman who did that to him was called Gu Yan’er—his Boss’s disciple!
“That’s right. I was just reminded of something, though.”
Spectre blinked to watch the horrified faces and spoke to them all of a sudden.
Wang Wei gulped down and frightfully replied stutteringly, “W-what… w-what did you just recall?”
Spectre ruminated for a while and grinningly said, “Well, ever since I set my feet into the assassination world, I think I always rip off the heads of those who happen to see me. I think I stabbed their hearts and cut off their limbs, each and every one of them. You just said that you once saw me kill my target, didn’t you? Hmm… what should I do? Should I cut off your head, stab your heart, or chop your limbs off? Man… this multiple-choice question really gives me a headache.”
“NO, NO, NO! Please don’t!!!” Wang Wei screamed out in horror. “Please spare me! It’s all my fault. I shouldn’t have poked my nose out and provoked your Boss before. Please, I apologize. I’ll see him at once to apologize. I’ll do it even if I have to kneel and kowtow to him.”
He was truly frightened. And while this fear did come from Spectre, it was also Tang Xiu who gave him much of this horror. Who was Spetre in the first place? He was the ruthless ghost, the best assassin in the world that even those heads of the state were very afraid of. And yet, such a ruthless man was actually Tang Xiu’s henchman. That was simply unthinkable.
At this moment, he was so scared to hear how terrifying the power possessed by Tang Xiu was, which definitely had reached an unthinkable terrifying level! He was still so young and death was far from being his wish, so he could only cast his pride away. He bent down and knelt, begging for mercy and hoping to keep his life.
Spectre just grinned in response, “Well, my Boss actually likes money so much, though. I may regard money like dirt, but not him! It’s just that I don’t know how much your life is worth, so tell me how much it is—and I’ll only give one chance!”
Only then did Wang Wei’s face looked extremely relieved and joyful as he blurted out without hesitation, “240 million, which is all the fortune I have. I’ll transfer it to you right away as long as you don’t kill me… no to your Boss’s account.”
Yang Yang was now left dumbstruck. He was a rich man as well, but practicing martial arts had been his focus all his life so he didn’t go all out to seek fortune. Let alone 240 million, he didn’t even have a tenth of that amount.
“C-can you… please give me some time? I have no money now, but I have a wealthy family. I’ll call my house to ask for the money immediately… P-please, give me some time. I’ll prepare the amount as needed,” said Yang Yang with a bitter face.
Spectre rolled his eyes as his answer and said, “Then you must also take out 240 million. A penny less means your life is much cheaper than this guy. I couldn’t care less about the likes of a cheap life.”
Yang Yang shuddered violently. He immediately grabbed his phone, dialed a cell number, and anxiously spoke in a hurry, “Mother, I need money—240 million. Please don’t ask me what for and why now. I can only tell you that it’s concerning my life and death. Just transfer it to the man, or you’ll only see my dead body.
“What happened to you, Son?” a hushed and anxious voice came replying.
Yang Yang’s voice hiked up and he hastily cried out, “Please don’t ask about it now, Mom! Just hurry up and transfer the money! Only that money can save me now.”
“Alright, alright! Don’t worry. I’ll transfer it to you immediately,” a panicked voice came replying again.
Yang Yang hung up and cautiously looked at Spectre and said, “The money will be transferred soon. Please… just wait.”
“Hehe…” Spectre let out strange laughter and then said, “Well, well. You both seem to value your life. Alright, seeing that you’re so sincere to pay, I’ll spare you guys, but… my rule is still on and must never be broken. I don’t give a fuck how powerful the forces behind you two are. You dare to reveal even a word about me, then I guarantee you will see your maker, including your family members!”
“Yes, yes. We’ll definitely keep our mouth shut!”
“We won’t dare do anything.”
Yang Yang and Wang Wei frightfully promised and pleaded.
“Just prepare the money and give it to my Boss when you personally apologize to him,” said Spectre with a happy smile.
With that said, his figure vanished in an instant.
