Chapter 90 First Assignmen (2/2)
”Take down the Rose Militant, a group of mercenaries active in the Somar Desert, in the Southern Land.”
The Southern Land was where Hesla was located, and it was also called the South Continent. It had a vast land area and tropical climate. The other continents were the North Continent, West Continent, and the Andrea Continent, which located in the middle of the other three.
Han Xiao picked this mission due its close proximity. Just as he was about to accept the assignment, the server suddenly jolted and said, ”Mr. Black, you have a new personal assignment.”
Han Xiao was pleasantly surprised. He received an assignment within five minutes of uploading his particulars onto the net.
”This organization's business is really thriving,” Han Xiao remarked sincerely.
The server was puzzled himself. ”Such happenings are actually quite rare.”
”The employer hopes to speak with you personally.” The server looked at the screen and continued. ”Take a seat first. He will arrive in about ten minutes.”
Han Xiao complied.
Ten minutes later, a middle-aged man walked in hastily. He had a head full of white hair, which made him look much older than his real age, and his expression was one of exasperation. He walked into the hall and looked left and right before he came forward to Han Xiao. ”I am Cheng Shan Shui.”
Before an assignment was officially accepted, the employer would not divulge the target's real name. Assassins could only ask for other basic information. ”What will the bounty for this assignment be? And tell me more about the target's protection and location.”
”12 to 20 body guards. The location is right in this city. The remuneration will be $10,000.”
”Only $10,000?” Han Xiao frowned slightly.
That price was insufficient to employ an assassin.
Cheng Shan Shui nodded anxiously. He had immediately been turned down by other assassins when they heard the price. He lacked enough money to pay for the usual price, so he had decided to try his luck on new assassins like Han Xiao.
”I will take it,” Han Xiao agreed.
Cheng Shan Shui cheered inwardly. He took out a stack of documents and passed them to Han Xiao. ”Yue You Zu, located right in Morning Wing City.”
Yue You Zu was a mafioso in Hesla who was always accompanied by 12 to 16 bodyguards that were made up of retired army reconnaissance soldiers. Recently, he had expanded his influence into the territory of Morning Wind City, which belonged to the local mafia head, Cheng Shan Shui. He could not guard against Yue You Zu's invasion, and so his mafia gang had disbanded. He was now left all alone and wanted to hire assassin to avenge him.
Han Xiao signed the contract after he finished reading the information.

Han Xiao already knew the quest requirement. He went on to look at the reward of the quest, and it was not much, only 5,000 EXP.
”I'm leaving.” Han Xiao stood up and prepared to leave.
Cheng Shan Shui quickly stopped Han Xiao from going and asked, ”How long will you need to finish this job?”
Han Xiao paused. He looked out the window and saw that it just reached noon. ”I'm guessing you haven't had lunch, right?”
Cheng Shan Shui was startled, not understanding what Han Xiao was trying to say.
Han Xiao turned his head and gave him an aloof look. ”He will be gone by the time you finish your lunch.”
Cheng Shan Shui's heart skipped a beat.
Based on his impression, assassins would normally do some pre-assignment preparations, such as reconnaissance and escape route planning.
Was this Mr. Black really that powerful, or was he just being arrogant?
