Chapter 84 (1/2)
In actuality, Ye Qian was only guessing. He couldn't be sure that the young woman in front of him was really an a.s.sa.s.sin from the Dark Lily. But from the way the young woman trembled when he mentioned the name made Ye Qian knew that he was correct.
The Dark Lily was another mysterious a.s.sa.s.sination company like the Seven Kills. The difference was that the Dark Lily did not have the same strict moral principles that the Seven Kills did. Also, the rumors were that all the members of the Dark Lily were women. They only needed to know who their target was, no matter what kind of person their target was, they would still carry out the a.s.sa.s.sination.
Ye Qian had encountered members of the Dark Lily before, around a year ago. Back then, Ye Qian had received a mission from an oil magnate in the Middle East to go to j.a.pan and kill the head of the Yamaguchi-gumi. The oil magnate's daughter was studying in j.a.pan but had been raped then killed by the Yamaguchi-gumi chief, because of this the oil magnate's hate ran deep and he spared no expense, spending 1 billion to have the head of the Yamaguchi-gumi Chief Koji Yos.h.i.+da.
Ye Qian did not harbor any particular good feelings towards j.a.pan, so he did not hesitate at all when he received the mission. After carefully planning out the a.s.sa.s.sination they were able to successfully kill Koji Yos.h.i.+da and bring back his head to the oil magnate. The Wolf Fang was a group that took responsibility for their own actions, once they killed their enemy they would leave the mark of the Wolf Fang, an angry wolf head.
One can imagine the anger the Yamaguchi-gumi felt when they found out that their boss was killed by the Wolf Fang. Fortunately the Wolf Fang were based in the Middle East, even if they wanted to deal with them there they could not. They couldn't mobilize a large scale operation to go after the Wolf Fang, yet they also couldn't send only a few people because it was certain that they would only be going to their deaths. In the end they spared no cost and hired the Dark Lily to a.s.sa.s.sinate the Wolf Fang's leader, Ye Qian.
The Dark Lily didn't care what type of person their target was or what kind of power they held. As long as they received the mission they would not stop until the target was dead. This didn't mean they were foolishly rash and didn't know how to size up a situation first; they understood very well the strength of Wolf Fang, how could a group that was hailed as the king of mercenaries in the world be anything less? Moreover, this a.s.sa.s.sination mission was going to happen in the Middle East, the territory of Wolf Fang, one can imagine how many complications there were.
This time, only one a.s.sa.s.sin was dispatched to carry out the mission against Ye Qian, but when she arrived in the Middle East she could not find any opportunity to carry out her mission. In the end, after much trouble, she finally found a chance to make her move, the a.s.sa.s.sin from Dark Lily couldn't let an opportunity when Ye Qian was alone go. But in the end she was greatly disappointed. The a.s.sa.s.sin's attack failed because she had greatly underestimated Ye Qian's strength. For an a.s.sa.s.sin, for no matter what reason they fail their mission, that a.s.sa.s.sin would not be able to continue working as an a.s.sa.s.sin again, either you die or you retire.
When Ye Qian encountered the Seven Kills a.s.sa.s.sin that time at the hotel, he knew what his situation was. Even though the mission was a mistake from his superiors, a failure was a failure, he would never be able to continue as an a.s.sa.s.sin again. To be an a.s.sa.s.sin, failure was not an option.
When the Dark Lily had been captured by Ye Qian back then, she was prepared to die. But to her surprise Ye Qian did not kill her. She didn't know whether or not to think Ye Qian was wimp, one should never go easy on their enemies.
Ye Qian also did not know why he had gone easy on her, he was not a compa.s.sionate person and had always been ruthless with his enemies. But for some unknown reason Ye Qian was suddenly not heartless with this a.s.sa.s.sin, could it be what they called fate? But what Ye Qian was very sure about was that considering that he wouldn't kill her, she would not be able to continue working as an a.s.sa.s.sin in the future, if the Dark Lily didn't eliminate her then she could be counted lucky.
Who would have thought that a year later he would meet a Dark Lily a.s.sa.s.sin again. Ye Qian knew very well that even if they dealt with her severely they would not be able to get any information from her. “I know I won't be able to get anything out of you, but I want you to go back to your leader and tell her that China is Wolf Fang territory now, no a.s.sa.s.sin organizations can set foot in this place. I still remember last year's incident clearly, I hope that the Dark Lily won't set themselves up for destruction.” Ye Qian said.
