"you say."

Seeing that the conversation had turned to serious matters, Xia Yuxin quickly smoothed the hair that had been covered her head and looked at Baron intently, her beautiful eyes widening unconsciously.

This is simply because the news is about my brother.

Ever since her unpleasant parting with Xia Che that night, Xia Yuxin couldn't stop worrying about him. After all, their opponent was the Xing family, and Xia Yuxin knew their methods perfectly well. Her brother didn't want to come to New York, but Xia Yuxin couldn't just stay out of it. Now, Xia Yuxin had very few connections at her disposal, and after thinking it over, she couldn't think of any better way, so she turned to the young nobleman in front of her for help.

Although Baron was her suitor, Xia Yuxin knew his character and that he was a true gentleman.

So, after Xia Yuxin expressed her request, Baron readily agreed, and after finding out what Xia Yuxin wanted, they arranged to meet today.

Xia Yuxin was very grateful to this true gentleman, because she had made it clear that she would not agree to the marriage with Baron. The rumors from the outside world were just rumors, but Baron was still willing to be her friend and help her.

This is quite remarkable.

Barron, who was sitting opposite, suddenly fell silent for some reason, looking down at the table, as if he found it difficult to talk about the information he had learned.

"Tell me!"

Xia Yuxin was getting a little anxious. He clearly promised to tell her, so why was he keeping her in suspense?

When it came to Xia Che, Xia Yuxin was truly losing her patience.

“I have many friends internationally, and their sources of information are very well-informed. Your previous guess was wrong... because it’s not just one family that’s watching him.”

“This matter is very complicated, involving a great deal of people and events. If possible... I suggest you give up on this person named Xia Che, even if he is your brother.”

Baron let out a deep breath, then gritted his teeth and said, in an almost hysterical tone, word by word, "You have to be quick. If you're even a little slow... you might be in danger too!"

Upon hearing this, Xia Yuxin was instantly stunned. She had considered that Xia Che's situation might become very bad, but she never expected it to be this bad.

"What's the meaning?"

Unconsciously, Xia Yuxin felt her throat become extremely dry. Her fists clenched slowly, her nails even digging into her flesh, but she seemed oblivious to the stinging pain, her mind filled with only one thought:

Why has the situation become so dire?

"As you instructed, I investigated Xia Che's situation in China and unexpectedly discovered that besides the Xing family, there was another force that was eyeing him, and this force... was terrifying, extremely terrifying."

"They are more of an organization than a force."

"An assassin organization!"

Baron slowly exhaled a breath of stale air, the lingering shock in his eyes still present. He said calmly, "This organization originally used their leader's name as its name. Later, as time passed, the old name was abandoned and it was renamed the Assassin's Hall. However, because the members of this organization are ruthless and indiscriminate in their targets, as long as someone places an order with them, no matter how prominent the person's status is, they will be killed without hesitation!"

"Later, everyone was on edge, after all, no one knew if they would become the next target. This aroused public anger in the rich circle and they were attacked by the masses. That's when they calmed down. For many years, there was no news of the Assassin Hall. But... I didn't expect that after being silent for so long, the Assassin Hall would finally emerge."

"The Assassin's Guild has members of all races and countries. They have a bounty list that records almost all the wealthy, high-ranking officials, and scions of powerful families around the world. And your brother, Xia Che... his name is very likely on that bounty list, and his ranking will definitely not be low!"

Baron gritted his teeth, turned his head and stared intently at a certain spot, his voice dry as he said, "Don't question it... Although I don't understand why the Assassin's Hall would target a young master left behind in China, according to the intelligence I've received, at least five of the Assassin's Hall's top assassins have taken an interest in Xia Che. Only the top fifty can pique the interest of these top assassins!"

"Brother... ranked in the top fifty?"

Xia Yuxin was dumbfounded, and felt her vision blurring.

Barron must be joking!

Only the world's big shots are qualified to be on the list. It's one thing for my own brother to be on it, but he's even ranked in the top fifty?

Is this funny?

And such an evil organization is called the Assassin's Hall...

How come she's never heard of it before?

Xia Yuxin is, after all, the daughter of the Xia family, yet she hasn't heard a single word about it. This is simply too unbelievable.

According to Baron's description, this organization called Assassin's Hall has such a wide-ranging network of connections all over the world... how could she have never heard of it before?

Assassins...

Xia Yuxin had always thought this title only appeared in movies and TV dramas; this was the first time she had heard of it in real life.

"Really, please believe me, Miss Xia, and your brother's ranking will definitely be higher than fiftieth, not lower than fiftieth."

Baron let out a deep breath, then looked at Xia Yuxin seriously and said, "I request that all the armed forces in the family be recalled. Your safety must be guaranteed. The people of the Assassin Hall have no bottom line. I suspect that if they repeatedly fail to harm your brother, they may turn on you."

"...Thank you for your hard work. What should I do now?"

Xia Yuxin panicked. She was alright, since this was the Xia family's headquarters. No matter how powerful the assassins were, they couldn't possibly harm her.
