How much did you say?

Xu Song immediately threw the topic back at the assassin.

He doesn't know exactly how much he should pay.

If they give too much, they're afraid they'll lose money; if they give too little, they're afraid the assassin won't be satisfied.

The main reason is that his money was hard-earned, and he wanted to save it for the rest of his life.

How could we possibly give it all away right now?

That's unrealistic.

"I'm asking you a question, not expecting you to ask me one in return, do you understand?"

The assassin in black placed the knife directly against Xu Song's neck.

It looked like he was about to cut in and slit his throat any second.

However, the assassin in black only threatened and never took any further action.

He would absolutely not let Xu Yisong die until he got the money.

He had been planning this idea for a long time, because he considered it his last job, and he would quit after that.

He also plans to settle down in Daxia in the future, but he doesn't have enough money right now.

They can't even afford a house.

However, completing this order should earn a substantial reward.

However, this is far from enough to ensure a worry-free later life.

Then he suddenly thought of the target of this operation: Xu Song.

This guy must be rich!

Besides... this is the person I'm about to kill, so getting his money shouldn't be a problem.

He had done this kind of thing many times before.

Therefore, the plan was implemented without anyone in black knowing about it.

"One million... US dollars, is that alright?"

Xu Song asked tentatively.

He didn't know exactly how much he should pay, but $1 million was already a huge amount for him, and he was even reluctant to part with it.

But there was no other way; at this critical juncture, we had to be ruthless and spend more money.

How can that be allowed?

There's a real possibility that my life will be over...

Xu Song is still quite young and is looking forward to enjoying life after leaving the country.

How could I possibly let myself die right now?

"Are you treating me like a beggar?"

The man in black spoke in a very cold voice, his tone somewhat displeased: "Or do you think your life is only worth a million dollars? This kid... damn it, he's a real money-grubber."

Even though they're about to die, they're still reluctant to part with this little bit of money, thinking of saving it?

Do you think you still have a chance to spend it?

Seeing this, Xu Song knew he would definitely have to pay less money, even though he was reluctant to do so.

But we still need to continue giving.

"Why don't you just tell me how much you want?"

Xu Song sighed: "I don't have much money either. Let me tell you first, if your amount exceeds my net worth, then there's nothing I can do. In that case, I'll just have to kill you, and you won't get a single penny."

"Hahaha!" The assassin in black laughed.

"In that case, I'll get straight to the point: ten million US dollars."

The man in black roughly guessed how much money he had, since he had received nine million US dollars from a previous lawsuit.

The man in black had also investigated this.

In addition, he must have some savings, so raising ten million US dollars shouldn't be too difficult, right?

"What! You're insane!"

Upon hearing this, Xu Song immediately exclaimed, "Where am I supposed to get so much money for you? How could I possibly have that much?"

At the same time, he was also somewhat shocked.

His entire net worth is currently around ten million US dollars, and this guy wants all of his money.

How is that possible?

Even if he survived, he hasn't been killed yet.

But without this money, wouldn't he starve to death?

It would be better to just die now; that would be quicker and painless, at least you wouldn't have to go through so much suffering.

etc?

What suddenly occurred to Xu Song?

Who sent this assassin? I don't think I have any enemies yet.

Why would anyone want to kill me?

Just as Xu Song was pondering, the man in black spoke again.

"Stop pretending with me. I already know everything about your situation and have investigated it all. During the lawsuit, you were awarded $9 million. You probably haven't touched that money yet, and combined with your own savings, it should be enough for you."

"You need to understand that I am an assassin, and don't even think about making any underhanded moves or running away. That's impossible. Our organization's intelligence network is extremely powerful. No matter where you run, we can find you."

"So now you just need to obediently pay the money, and then I can tell the previous report that you are dead. As for whether you go into hiding or run away overseas, it doesn't matter."

A hint of death appeared in Xu Song's eyes.

If he had left Great Xia before, would there have been so many problems?

I should not have lingered here any longer.

“I can give you the money, but you absolutely cannot take it all. I need to keep some of it, enough for the rest of my life.”

Xu Song sighed helplessly.

"Is my request unreasonable? If you can't even fulfill this request, then you might as well kill me."

"I'd rather be killed by you now than starve to death later."

After a moment's thought, the assassin in black nodded:

“Okay, then I’ll give you a million dollars. If you’re frugal, it’ll be enough to live on. There are so many families who never earn a million dollars in their entire lives.”

"Two million," Xu Song said with unwavering determination.

He's gambling now, betting his own life, betting that the assassin will definitely want the money for him.
