Chapter 1149: The New King of Assassins
But for the Black Butterfly Assassin Group, he couldn’t take it lightly. At first, he also checked the information of the Black Butterfly Assassin Group for fun. After listening to his son Charles, Old Charles thought that the Black Butterfly Assassin Group should be established by the daughter of the Butterfly Family, so he naturally paid more attention to it.
Unexpectedly, he was amazed that the Black Butterfly Assassin Group actually completed such an impossible mission. After all, he might not be able to complete such a mission with his family’s strength!
Therefore, when Yang Ming knocked on the door, Old Charles said, “please enter” absent-mindedly. He didn’t even lift his head. He obviously was absorbed in this matter.
Because with the current growth rate and ranking of the Black Butterfly Assassin Group, it would not take long for them to get to the front! After all, the reputation of the assassin group was not determined by the number of missions performed, but by the difficulty of the missions performed!
For example, the Black Butterfly Assassin Group’s mission this time was defined as A+++, which was one of the most challenging missions. After this kind of mission was completed, the overall score evaluation obtained by the corresponding assassin group would be increased by a lot unlike the general B-level and C-level missions, where the completion of one would only add a few points or even a few tenths of a point. An A level mission would add more than a few dozen points upon completion, and the A+ level would add more, not to mention an A level mission with three “+” behind.
Completing this kind of mission would add thousands or even tens of thousands of points randomly. Therefore, the Black Butterfly Assassin Group jumped from the initial unknown to fame to the top fifty of the world assassin group.
This was impossible in the past. Because many large assassin groups couldn’t accept these kinds of missions, let alone those small assassin groups! However, this time, the Black Butterfly Assassin Group broke this myth, from the initial unknown to fame; it suddenly climbed to the top fifty.
If it continued to grow at this rate, where the Black Butterfly Assassin Group only took on some extremely difficult tasks, then the Black Butterfly Assassin Group could rise soon to the top ten or even the top five at an unimaginable speed!
Because usually, no assassin group would accept this high a level for an assassination in the past. Although the reward was high, and the credibility of their own assassin group would also greatly improve, but this task was too dangerous. If it turned bad, not only did the mission fail, but the assassin would be dead as well. That was really sending the helve after the hatchet.
Therefore, the release of the results of this kind of mission was very likely to be nothing at the end. When the King of Assassins was still active, he often took these missions. Other assassin groups would sigh at their incompetencies. No one would compete with the King of Assassins for these missions.
But with the retirement of the King of Assassins, no one picked up these difficult missions anymore. No one wanted to pick up the big stone and smash their own feet. However, no one would expect that this pattern would change with the emergence of the Black Butterfly Assassin Group.
In fact, Old Charles wasn’t willing to see this happen to be honest. The Black Butterfly Assassin Group would be at a higher rank in front of the Charles Family in the final results! But he had to face this reality!
Old Charles sighed secretly. I am really old, and the Charles Family has no successor. After a serious conversation with Little Charles that day, Old Charles also gave up the idea of letting him inherit the family business. After all, nothing forcibly done was going to be agreeable. Little Charles’ interest wasn’t in the assassin group. Wasn’t it troubling him to let him manage the assassin group?
Old Charles shook his head helplessly. The urgent task now was to find a partner as soon as possible that could carry forward the Charles Family. Otherwise, the Charles Family would be over. The assassins under his group couldn’t sustain their livelihoods anymore.
Old Charles knew his own thing. He knew the capabilities of these people clearly. You can let them assassinate people, but not shoulder the leading role. They lacked leadership and pioneering spirit. This was the trouble for Old Charles.
“Old Charles, hi!” Yang Ming walked in and closed the study’s door. Then, he quickly locked it up and sat in the chair opposite Old Charles.
Although Yang Ming’s voice was dull, it was like thunder in the ears of Old Charles! Because Old Charles had never heard Yang Ming’s voice, and he was even speaking in Chinese! In this house, except for Butler Zhou Tianxiang, his son and wife, the other people would only talk in Italian and English, so Old Charles was very surprised!
He looked up in a hurry, but he saw an unfamiliar Asian standing in front of him. Old Charles was even more shocked. “You… who are you? How did you come in?”
” Hehe , let me introduce myself. My name is Yang Ming.” Yang Ming said calmly, “As for how I came in, you don’t need to know.”
“You – what do you want?” After all, Old Charles was an old and tactful man. After a moment of shock, his face returned to a calm expression. “Do you know what my work is? Do you dare to intrude in my house? Are you not afraid of death?”
” Hehe , this is the best joke I have ever heard. If you just want to threaten me, then I will give you this opportunity. You can continue to threaten. When you are done threatening me, let’s talk about business!” Yang Ming shrugged indifferently and smiled.
” Hmph. ” Old Charles also understood that since Yang Ming could come in, then he wasn’t an ordinary person, saying that these threats wouldn’t have any effect at all, but it would become a joke.
So Old Charles snorted and turned the thread of discussion. “Talk to me about your purpose.”
“My purpose is very simple. Zhou Jiajia is my girlfriend. Zhou Tianxiang is the father of my girlfriend, my father-in-law. I don’t want anything to happen to them.” Yang Ming’s tone of speech was incredibly dull, but there was an unquestionable certainty in his words.
After listening to Yang Ming’s words, Old Charles was first astounded, and then he suddenly laughed. ” Ha ha ha , interesting. Are you threatening me?”
“You can laugh now, but if anything happens to either of them, then I will make you regret being born into this world,” said Yang Ming faintly.
“This is also the best joke I have ever heard. Young man, don’t be overconfident. Did Zhou Tianxiang let you in?” Old Charles sneered. “This Zhou Tianxiang was being more and more unruly.”
“Think whatever you like, but you can call the sentries outside and see if anyone is taking your call.” Yang Ming smiled indifferently.
Old Charles listened to Yang Ming’s words, and his face suddenly changed.Could it be that Yang Ming came in by force?
Yang Ming threw a waistband in front of Old Charles. It was found in the pocket of the black-shirted man. It was supposed to be some kind of token of the Charles family. Yang Ming simply put it into his pocket. He didn’t think this would come in handy now.
“This…” Old Charles’s face looked awful. This was the Charles Family’s token from the first sentry. Old Charles naturally recognized it.
“I forgot to tell you. My current status is the head of the Black Butterfly Assassin Group.” Yang Ming looked at Old Charles’ pale face and said leisurely.
” Heh ! I was wondering who you were! So, you are the head of the Black Butterfly Assassin Group! No wonder you dare to talk to me in this tone!” Old Charles was secretly surprised. Why is Zhou Tianxiang’s son-in-law such a strong character? He wondered if he should go against Yang Ming.
He wasn’t clear about Yang Ming’s background, but he could guess Wang Xiaoyan’s background. If he didn’t give face to Yang Ming, would Wang Xiaoyan have any reaction there? But Old Charles thought about it again. So what if Wang Xiaoyan is the successor of the Butterfly Family? I am not bad either. I am the master of the Charles family, and my own assassin group is inferior to the Butterfly Family, but it is not so easily bullied. Therefore, he decided in his mind and didn’t care about it.
“You know the Black Butterfly Assassin Group, right?” Yang Ming squinted and thought that Old Charles didn’t know the organization. He didn’t expect the Black Butterfly Assassin Group to be so famous now.
“Didn’t it just complete an A+++ mission!?” Old Charles snorted. “However, you are just a newly formed assassin group. Do you think you are so great? Trying to be arrogant in front of me? Our Charles Family is ranked third on the assassin ranking list! You are really trying to display your inferior skills in front of an expert. Overconfident.”
“Stop the nonsense. In short, you mean you are not going to let Zhou Tianxiang go?” Yang Ming waved his hand and interrupted Old Charles’ words, and his tone became cold.
“If yes, so what of it?” Old Charles snorted. He was not afraid of this kid in front of him. It was no wonder that when Yang Ming first said his name, Old Charles still felt that the name was familiar, but couldn’t remember it for a while. Now he remembered that the name was originally on the business card that Charles showed him.
However, at that time, he only paid attention to Wang Xiaoyan and ignored this name. Now, after listening to Yang Ming, he remembered the previous things.
Yang Ming smiled slightly, “Since I can come in once, I can come in for a second time and a third time. I don’t know what your future life will look like, but you will definitely live in the shadow of fear.”
Old Charles took a deep breath, and his eyebrows tilted slightly. He didn’t expect Yang Ming to use this as a threat. Indeed, being able to come in and sit in front of him was enough to prove that the young man in front of him wasn’t simple. It was shown from the fact that he could accomplish a difficult mission. However, Old Charles was a senior. He was displeased being threatened by a rising star in the assassin world. He was furious deep in his heart, and he was going to make a fuss.
“Young people, don’t be too arrogant!” Old Charles’ face twitched twice. “You can come in the first time. It doesn’t mean you can come in a second time! Even if you can come in, do you think you can still leave after you said this to me today?”
Old Charles was completely outraged. He couldn’t be bothered about losing face and couldn’t help but threaten with his glare.
” Haha , what you said made me very doubtful. Why does it seem like a bluff?” Yang Ming smiled. “The first point, you may not be able to keep me. It’s not that I look down on you, but I don’t care about the people in your castle. And the second point, even if you can keep me, someone will avenge me. At that time, it will not be only you who will live in fear. The whole Charles Family may be subject to unprecedented mad revenge!”
“Avenge you? Your partner? You are overestimating her strength!” Old Charles listened to Yang Ming’s words, and he was astounded. Is there any other relationship between this kid and Wang Xiaoyan? Will the Butterfly Family be involved in this at that time?
But after thinking about it, the Butterfly Family wouldn’t participate in it. Wang Xiaoyan had a marriage contract which was known to many top-level people in the assassin world. They all knew the agreement and grievance between the Butterfly Family and the King of Assassins. Therefore, Wang Xiaoyan was mostly having a personal relationship with the man in front of him. The Butterfly Family could not stand up and openly support Wang Xiaoyan.
Thinking of this, Old Charles was relieved. He knew the reason why Wang Xiaoyan left home, just like his son, Charles. Which family didn’t have its own problems?
“Of course, not her; she is not as good as me,” Yang Ming said honestly.
“Who can avenge you?” Old Charles was a bit curious. Does this Yang Ming still have another backer?
“My Master.” Yang Ming said, “He looked for a long time before he found me as his perfect apprentice. If you did something to me, he would definitely go crazy. If he went crazy, then the consequences are quite serious.”
This was also the trump card that Yang Ming had. After all, although Yang Ming had good skills, he couldn’t fight against many people and modern firearms. If Old Charles really wanted to keep him here by force, it wasn’t impossible, so Yang Ming had to leave a safeguard. He couldn’t make himself too passive.
With Yang Ming’s growth, he also knew that when he did things, he couldn’t rely solely on the impulse of the moment. He needed to think about the people around him and those girls who loved him.
In the adventure in Africa, Wang Xiaoyan’s move made Yang Ming realize this deeply. He would never risk his life in the future without any preparation.
“Your master? Who is your master?” Old Charles was baffled. He didn’t expect Yang Ming to answer this.
“Fang Tian.” Yang Ming calmly said these two words.
The face of Old Charles instantly changed as if he had heard a very horrible word. He was so shocked that he widened his mouth. He just sat there, and couldn’t speak.
Fortunately, Yang Ming secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that Old Charles still knew the name of Old Man Fang. Otherwise, he would have to make a lot of effort to explain it himself. This had saved a lot of effort for him.
“You… you are the apprentice of the King of Assassins…” Old Charles looked at Yang Ming with surprise. “He… he has an apprentice…”
Some previous doubts were instantly confirmed in Old Charles’ mind. No wonder this kid is with Wang Xiaoyan. He is the apprentice of the King of Assassins who has a marriage contract with the little princess of the Butterfly Family. Then, the identity of Wang Xiaoyan is also confirmed at the moment which is the successor of the Butterfly Family!
Old Charles also understood why the task that was supposed to be assigned to the King of Assassins was transferred to a small assassin group. Indeed, the name of the small assassin group was very unfamiliar, but the person in charge of the small assassin group was the apprentice of the King of Assassins, Fang Tian. He was the new King of Assassins!
How could Old Charles not be shocked?! The King of Assassins who had disappeared for nearly a decade had finally confirmed the legend. After retiring, he would find a descendant after some time, and the new King of Assassins would emerge again.
Old Charles and Fang Tian were people of the same period, so he hadn’t met the previous King of Assassins. He didn’t know whether the legend was true or not. After Fang Tian retired, Old Charles gradually forgot this, but he did not expect Fang Tian’s apprentice to sit in front of him a few years later!
Yang Ming was telling the truth. If he made a move on Yang Ming, then that madman, Fang Tian, would do anything. If he hurt his apprentice who he had spent the effort to train, Fang Tian probably wouldn’t care about their previous friendship. It wasn’t impossible for him to directly kill all the people in the Charles Family, and for Fang Tian, this wasn’t difficult as well!
“I have been with Old Man Fang for more than half a year. I am still at the stage of gaining experience.” Yang Ming saw that the effect of deterrence had been achieved, so he could discuss with Old Charles calmly this time.
Previously, Yang Ming’s identity alone would certainly not be valued by Old Charles, and Old Charles was still hostile to him, so Yang Ming couldn’t talk calmly with Old Charles.
But now, his identity was also apparent. Old Charles wouldn’t be rash, and they now had the qualifications to hold a face-to-face negotiation. Therefore, Yang Ming said the previous sentence.
“Half a year… so powerful… The King of Assassins is really a legend in the assassin world!” Old Charles nodded and said with deep feelings.
“Well, Uncle Charles, I think we can talk calmly now.” Yang Ming changed to a smiley expression, but this time, it wasn’t showing sneer and ridicule but was a sincere smile.
Old Charles nodded. “Yeah, you are indeed qualified to talk to me. After Fang Tian retired, our identity is equal. Mister New King of Assassins.”
