Chapter 245: Chapter 139: Suddenly Understand_3
Zeppelin’s battered body struggled violently, emitting indistinct “whooshing” sounds from his mouth, but it couldn’t change the fact that his throat had been slit open. Blood spurted from his throat in all directions, some of which even splashed onto Yang Wanlin. As the blood sprayed out, Zeppelin’s struggles grew weaker and weaker, until at last, he stopped moving and died completely. Half of his body lay soaked in his own blood, a sight that was truly horrifying.
With Zeppelin’s blood on him, Yang Wanlin became even more panic-stricken, while the envoys and higher-ups of the Assassin Sect beside him wore smiles, showing no discomfort at the scene.
The bearded man mercilessly killed a financial titan who could command storms in the international capital market without the slightest change in expression. He even picked up a lamb chop from nearby and took a bite, saying, “Yang Wanlin, we are not like you. You are businessmen, attentive to calculations; we are assassins, we value directness. Killing for us is as easy as eating or sleeping. So never harbor illusions that you can outsmart us. If we get angry, not only you but also your entire Yang Family will be wiped clean. So, stop testing my patience. Zeppelin’s fate is a warning for you.”
Secretly troubled, Yang Wanlin felt some regret for being involved with the assassin organization. But by then, it was too late for regrets, as the Yang Family found themselves stuck on a path they couldn’t leave. All he could do was say, “Our Yang Family is led by my older brother. I can convey your points to him and see what he thinks.”
The bearded man said, “You know that Yan Fei has started to openly resist us and has even placed a task to eradicate our Assassin Sect on the Dark Web, which the Destroyer has accepted. Hence, we have called back all of our experts from around the world to wait for the Destroyer’s arrival here. You’re aware that such a contraction of our forces costs us greatly every day. Since this trouble was stirred up by you, remember that our three billion US Dollars is only the current price, the longer it drags on, the greater our losses, and the higher the price will become.”
Yang Wanlin wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said, “I understand. I will contact my older brother Yang Liu immediately, striving to persuade him to meet your Sect’s demands.”
Only then did the bearded man say with satisfaction, “That’s more like it. I guarantee on the credit of our Assassin Sect that if you pay us three billion US Dollars in cash right away, we will let off your Yang Family and cease pursuing this matter from now on.”
Yang Wanlin said cautiously, “I hope so, I hope so…”
The bearded man looked around at the gathered Sect experts and higher-ups and said, “Everyone, the Sect leader’s absence has left me in charge. Since then, we’ve faced open provocation against our Sect, prompting your recall from around the world. I expected this defensive counterattack to last quite some time, but I didn’t think it would be resolved so quickly—it’s as if the heavens themselves look after our Assassin Sect.”
The other envoys and higher-ups of the Assassin Sect were perplexed, unsure of what the bearded man was getting at. Suddenly, the bearded man pointed at Yan Fei in the crowd and said, “Destroyer, since you’ve come to our Assassin Sect on your own accord, why skulk in hiding? Why not reveal your true identity?”
