Ace of the Dragon Division - Chapter 478

Chapter 478: Shock

Xu Cheng glanced at Solo and turned back to his seat.

After he sat down, he said to Solo, “It’s now 8 PM. Before 12 AM, I want to see your sincerity. If that head isn’t delivered on time, I will personally pay a visit to the Assassin Alliance.”

Solo nodded, and he began dragging those three guys’ bodies out of the door.

But, Xu Cheng said, “Don’t play pretend anymore. I know those three aren’t dead yet. Your dagger just scratched their throats, you controlled the depth really well and just sliced the outer tissue layer without hurting the artery and trachea. When they fell, they didn’t even bother to struggle symbolically, who are they trying to fool? Just get up. Before 12, if the head of the rewarder isn’t delivered, I will take these three guys’ lives as well!”

Solo’s body shivered.

Those three that were laying on the floor immediately got up and thanked Xu Cheng, “Thanks for not killing us!”

“Get lost then! Next time, facking do more homework before you do the job, don’t just rush to kill any target that gets registered. Oh right, you guys haven’t answered me yet, how much did you guys accept to come and kill me?”

Those three assassins’ booty holes tightened, and Assassin King Solo also shivered again.

“Mr. Xu… Uh…”

Xu Cheng frowned.

Those three assassins said in unison, “5 hundred thousand.”

Xu Cheng directly burst out in laughter.

“I was gonna say, if that person respects me and puts a few billion on the line I might just let him go. But 5 hundred thousand? Tsk tsk, if I let him go this time, I’m basically allowing him to humiliate me more. No, it’s even too good for him to live another 4 hours. I want you guys to bring his head to me before 10!”

“Yes!” All four of them nodded in a cold sweat as they backed out of the villa.

All that was left at the scene were the dry-mouthed Lin Dong and Stenson, standing there, still dumbfounded.

Especially Stenson, he felt as if he couldn’t see through his boss at all.

What kind of person is this guy? Telling the assassins that came to assassinate him to assassinate the person that told them to assassinate him? And only giving them a 2-hour limit? Why are those four guys so scared of him? He could bargain like that with the assassins too?

Xu Cheng looked at Stenson and said, “If you want to get on the same ride as me, you will get car-sick if you don’t have a certain level of strength and mental preparedness. It’s normal for you to be temporarily not used to it. You can just stay the night and treat it as work, help wait for the experiment results.”

Stenson’s body shivered, how could he reject?

At this moment, he really wanted to cry and plead, Boss, can I get off of the car? It’s too dark, I’m scared!

“Ye-yes, Boss!” He turned around and didn’t even dare to look at Xu Cheng. He just went back to sit on the sofa upright, with his hands on his thighs, not daring to move. Thank god he didn’t betray him, or he would be the one to die tonight.

Just when Xu Cheng was about to pick up the tea cup, he noticed the cup was empty, so he looked at Lin Dong.

Lin Dong immediately poured a cup of hot tea for his teacher and then went back to sit silently. His whole brain was filled with the scene of his teacher catching the bullets and the four assassins treating him like he was the boss. He felt that not just Stenson, but he also got another sneak peek at the unfathomable level of power his teacher had.

No wonder, whether it was Luo Yi or Li Wei, including Ye Xiu, they all had absolute respect for Xu Cheng like they were respecting a legend. It was also no wonder that everyone that saw him said he was not worthy of being Xu Cheng’s apprentice. It turned out that what he saw before was only barely the surface of what Xu Cheng was capable of.

The more Lin Dong thought about it, the more he began feeling excited to have such a god-like teacher.

“Tea.” Xu Cheng’s voice floated over again. He looked at him in disdain, how could he not guess what Lin Dong was thinking about?

“On it!” Lin Dong hurriedly poured his teacher another cup of tea.

On the other side, Stenson just sat there in silence, not daring to move at all. He was extremely nervous. Just moments ago, he felt he was just talking with a businessman, yet now, he felt as if he was sitting beside a murderous mafia boss!

“Why do you look so nervous?” Xu Cheng looked at Stenson and said, “That way you acted before is not bad, pretty casual and relaxed.”

Stenson was between laughter and tears.

If I facking knew that you could catch bullets and also get the people that came to kill you to go back and kill the guy that ordered them to come and kill you in 2 hours… If I can still act casual and relaxed, then it would definitely be a fake Stenson…

No wonder he asked during the interview whether I have faith.

It’s because, to a killer, what is faith? He himself is faith!

It’s also no wonder that he didn’t hesitate at all when giving me so much money to manage during our first meeting. It was because he really couldn’t care less. After all, me being loyal or not is basically me being alive or not. To him, seeing dead people is a common occurrence.

“Boss… can I ask, how many financial planners did you have before me?” Stenson seemed to want to say something but stopped himself, and then decided to still gather all the balls he had to ask so he could make plans for the future.

“First one.” Xu Cheng faintly smiled. “How many did you worry that I had before?”

Stenson let out a sigh of relief and he expressed his utmost royalty. “Boss, don’t worry, I will also be your last one!”

“I hope so too.” Xu Cheng nodded. “Have some tea. Tea can help calm your heart and nerves. In the future, these scenes will only be a common occurrence, you will get used to it. But, I’m not an assassin or serial killer. In my eyes, just like you said, we have no faith that we speak of. You work for capitalism, I also have things I want and my bottom line.”

Stenson: “Boss, can I know what you want?”

Xu Cheng faintly smiled. “You just got onto the ride and you want to know the final destination? That’s no fun. You gotta be patient, and you also have to live long enough to witness it. But I can promise you, those that follow me to see the end will definitely become big shots!”

Just then, a person jumped into the villa – Solo!

He was carrying a black wrapped plastic bag, and he opened it when he arrived before Xu Cheng.

Peel’s head was presented before those three.

Lin Dong’s body shivered.

Stenson felt like he was going to faint.

Xu Cheng clapped. “Indeed the king of assassins! This efficiency is pretty good, you only used 20 minutes. Very good, I’ve felt your sincerity. Then, I will just forget about what happened tonight. I hope we have a chance to cooperate in the future.”

Solo nodded. “I look forward to that day too.”

Xu Cheng. “Go on then. Oh right, when you flipped over my wall, you spilled a few drops of blood. Take care of it on your way out, I don’t want the police dogs to find their way here.”

Solo was very shocked. He subconsciously nodded as he lifted the bag and left.

When he went back to that wall and looked down…

His fear for Xu Cheng became even deeper!

Back in the living room, Stenson saw a head for the first time and couldn’t calm himself down no matter what anymore.

It was also because he recognized whose head that was!

Holy!

That was the boss of the biggest casino in Las Vegas – Peel!

A legendary figure in Las Vegas!

Such a powerful figure, yet his fate was decided with just a simple conversation? And his life was measured by how many hours were needed to reap it!

With a shivering voice, Stenson said, “Boss, I’m afraid that not even your tea can calm me down tonight.”

“Oh yeah?” Xu Cheng faintly smiled. “Then you can go back tonight. Get your girlfriend to help you calm down.”
