The feeling of being ignored instantly enraged the masked man.
Although he was not as good as his opponent, he was still a grandmaster, yet he was being looked down upon like this?
He simply couldn't swallow this insult.
But after considering the consequences of his impulsive actions, he immediately backed down.
Compared to life, what do face and dignity matter?
He thought it was unimportant.
As long as you're alive, you still have a chance for revenge; once you're dead, you have nothing left.
He took a deep breath, forced himself to look at Chu Mo, and said helplessly:
"I'll answer any questions you have, I just hope you can spare my life."
"That depends on whether the information you provide is valuable. Go ahead and speak," Chu Mo said calmly, looking at him.
"You need to promise me first," the masked man said reluctantly.
"You need to understand, I'm not making a deal with you, don't test my patience."
Chu Mo gave him a cold look, her eyes gradually becoming impatient.
The masked man looked at him unwillingly, then glanced at the burly man beside him, and finally gave up struggling, saying dejectedly:
"I am a member of the Poison Spider, nicknamed Black Flame. I've come to you this time on behalf of my employer, hoping to teach you a lesson."
"Lesson? What lesson?"
"It's just beating you up and then verbally threatening you."
"What? Beat him up? Threaten him?" Chu Mo was extremely surprised, looking at the other party and sneering:
"Do you think I spent my nine years of compulsory education swatting mosquitoes?"
"I'm not lying to you, these are the employer's requirements."
The masked man hurriedly tried to explain.
"I asked him at the time whether I should tie you up and take you back, because for an expert like me, this task would be beneath my dignity."
"But the employer said it wasn't necessary for the time being, saying that they wanted to be polite first and then resort to force."
"Who is the employer? You're not saying you don't know, are you?"
Chu Mo looked at him with a mocking expression.
The masked man swallowed hard, looking at him with unease, and said with a wry smile:
"This... I really don't know."
"You don't know this, you don't know that, so why should I spare you?"
"You assassins, how can you have no principles at all? You don't even know who ordered you to kill? You're utterly shameful."
Chu Mo became increasingly agitated as he spoke.
He was assassinated by Hu Hai and Qin Shaoru inexplicably.
Then came the Black Cloud organization, and now they've created the Poison Spider.
But he had no idea who the mastermind was.
This is really infuriating.
Just taking a beating without fighting back is not Chu Mo's style.
"Our principle as assassins is to do things for whoever pays us; we never interfere with anything else, otherwise the customers wouldn't feel at ease."
The masked man answered hesitantly.
The burly man, who had been quietly watching the show, couldn't stand it any longer and interjected:
"It's normal for the assassin not to know the employer's information; it would be strange if he did."
Chu Mo knew all this, of course, but he was still very unhappy. He suppressed his anger and politely said to the burly man:
"Could you please wait for me at my doorstep? I need to talk to him alone for a bit."
The burly man hesitated for a moment, but ultimately said nothing. He gave the masked man a warning glance, then turned and went down the mountain.
He had only walked a few dozen meters when he heard a middle-aged man's mournful scream coming from the mountaintop. The big man's eyes twitched slightly.
Is this an act of violence to vent anger?
But this strength is terrifying. A grandmaster is completely powerless to fight back?
A few minutes later.
With a calm expression, Chu Mo slowly returned, leading a man with a bruised and swollen face.
The masked man had already removed his black veil. He looked to be about forty or fifty years old, with cold eyes and an icy expression.
But that indifference was immediately replaced by respect and fervor when he saw Chu Mo.
The burly man was shocked. Could they really subdue him with just a beating?
That's way too exaggerated.
Judging from the man's respectful manner, he was practically a slave or servant.
This young man is probably quite extraordinary!
Chu Mo ignored his confusion, led the two into the villa's living room and sat them down, then looked at the burly man and politely said:
"Thank you for your help earlier. May I ask what brings you here?"
"What do you think of my skills?" the big man asked instead of answering.
"Very good, a master. Among the people I've met, you should be ranked second."
Chu Mo answered honestly that the other party's skills were probably only slightly inferior to Lu Fangzhou's.
"If someone like me were to work for you, how much do you think would be a suitable salary?"
The burly man looked at him with slight trepidation.
Chu Mo was taken aback; he never expected the other party to ask such a question.
The key question is, why would such a highly skilled person willingly work for you?
I'm not some lucky one who can command everyone's attention with a mere tremor of his body.
But he still tried to say:
"Well... it'll still cost at least twenty or thirty million, right?"
"Twenty or thirty million a year? Hmm, that's a very high price. I didn't expect I'd be so valuable in your eyes. Thank you!"
The burly man gratefully clasped his hands in a fist salute, then said with an unnatural expression:
"I heard that your Kunlun Immortal Wine is very expensive. Someone offered you a billion for two bottles, but you didn't agree."
"Of course, it's normal for such a miraculous medicinal wine to be more expensive."
"However, could you give me one bottle on credit? I need it to save someone."
At this point, the burly man seemed a little embarrassed, and added with shame:
"Don't worry, I'll be right back after I've rescued them. As long as it's not something immoral, I can do it for you. Just provide food and lodging; I don't need to pay you."
