City Lord's Mansion, in the front hall.

Bai Lin took out a task list made of cowhide from his storage ring.

Lin Hao used to be in Qingyang City and had taken on several assassination missions.

That black shop was an intermediary point jointly established by the Lin and Zhao families. Lin Hao copied all the work processes to the black shop he runs now, and the task forms are almost the same.

Therefore, at this moment, the information on the task form is clear at a glance.

Prey: Cao Hua

Age: 40

Strength: Level 8 Warrior

Identity: Instructor at Jianyun Academy

Recent active locations: Jianyun Academy, Xingyu Empire Palace

Reward: 50,000 Lingyang Stones

…

Looking at the information in his hand, a hint of surprise flashed in Lin Hao's eyes.

I didn’t expect that the first order after opening would be so difficult.

With two ace killer pets, Mantis King and Jing Ke, Lin Hao doesn't take them seriously as level eight warriors.

But what really makes it difficult is the location where the prey is assassinated.

Jianyun Academy is located in the Xingyu Empire, separated from the Great Yan Dynasty by only a river.

It’s not far from the Territory of Chaos.

However, both the Jianyun Academy and the imperial palace of the Xingyu Empire are equipped with extremely strict guard forces.

If you want to sneak in and assassinate someone, it may not be that easy.

Lin Hao felt a little relieved about this. No wonder the employer could offer such a high price.

Fifty thousand Lingyang stones, converted into silver notes at the market price, amounted to a full five hundred million!

Such an amount is indeed worthy of the location of the assassination and the price of an eighth-level warrior.

"My Lord, the employer should still be in the city. If you want to cancel the order, it may not be too late."

Bai Lin suggested with a hint of caution on his face.

After all, this assassination mission is too difficult and ordinary assassins will never accept such a mission.

The only one who has confidence is the elusive gold medal killer!

But it is not so easy to find the top gold medal killer in a short time.

And even if he finds it, if the other party is not interested, there is nothing he can do.

"No need to retreat, I know some top killers who can do it."

Lin Hao put the task list into the storage ring and said lightly.

Hearing this, a hint of surprise emerged on Bai Lin's face.

When he was about to persuade Lin Hao, he suddenly changed his mind and remembered that the assassin who assassinated the leader of the Green Tiger Gang, Sun Hao, was the top assassin hired by the lord? !

Bai Lin has been undercover in the Green Tiger Gang for many years and is very clear about the strength of Gang Leader Sun.

An eighth-level fighter, plus more than a hundred sixth-level thugs outside the house.

However, even under such tight security, he was still assassinated perfectly and silently in the house.

In Bai Lin's opinion, that kind of superb stabbing technique could only be performed by a gold medal killer who had reached the ninth level of martial arts!

Thinking of this, he undoubtedly felt more confident that Lin Hao had accepted the order so decisively.

"My assassin friend is very picky. He doesn't accept orders with low pay. From now on, he will only accept orders like today's."

Lin Hao raised the corner of his mouth and said with a faint smile.

"clear."

Bai Lin's face was slightly stern and he nodded quickly.

He was naturally aware that a low-priced and non-challenging assassination mission was undoubtedly an insult to a gold medal killer.

Just then, a mysterious man in black walked into the hall.

There was a blood blade totem on his shirt on his chest.

This is exactly the logo of the black shop opened by Lin Hao.

As the person taking over the black shop, Lin Hao tried his best to let them hide their identities, at least not to let the outside world know that the man behind the scenes was the City Lord's Mansion.

"Greetings to the Lord, Chief Steward Bai."

As he came closer, the man in black bowed slightly and saluted Lin Hao and Bai Lin.

"What's the matter?"

Bai Lin glanced at the other party and asked.

"Reporting to Manager Bai, the black shop just received another order."

The man in black took out a task list and said, "Since it is a time-limited task, I came here to report on purpose."

Limited time mission?

Hearing this, Lin Hao raised his eyebrows slightly.

He remembered that the fee for this kind of time-limited task was not low.

It seems that the black shop opened in the Territory of Chaos is showing a trend of making a lot of money.

Immediately, Bai Lin took the task list, and when he noticed the information on it, he took a deep breath.

"Is there a problem with the order?"

Noticing Bai Lin's reaction, Lin Hao was quite curious and couldn't help but ask.

"Lord, the target of this assassination is the martial arts genius that has emerged in the Great Yan Dynasty in recent years."

Bai Lin turned his head and looked at Lin Hao, and said in a low voice: "Lin Hao, a student of Tianyan Academy."

Hearing this, Lin Hao's heart sank slightly.

Obviously, he did not expect that he would receive a mission to assassinate himself.

Then, Lin Hao quickly recovered and said coldly: "Show it to me!"

Bai Lin did not dare to delay and hurriedly handed the task list to Lin Hao.

"Lord, according to rumors, Lin Hao was involved in the palace coup in the Great Yan Dynasty a while ago. The strength he showed was extraordinary, and he also kept several powerful pets around him."

Bai Lin stood aside and explained: "As for the reward, although there are also 50,000 Lingyang stones, it feels more difficult than the task list of assassinating the instructor of Jianyun Academy just now."

However, at this moment, Lin Hao had no intention of listening to Bai Lin's story.

His eyes were fixed on the name of the prey to be assassinated on the task list.

But I saw the two words "Lin Hao" in bright red.

And in the upper right corner of the task list, there is a large word "Kill" printed on it.

As for the above information, it is all completely consistent with his identity background.

There is no doubt that the person on the assassination mission list is exactly him!

"Who wants to kill me?"

A hint of coldness emerged in Lin Hao's eyes, and he began to think about the people who had a grudge against him.

In the past, he always kept a low profile in Tianyan Academy, and when he went out, he was always in the mysterious identity of an assassin.

Generally speaking, there should be no grudges.

Although his identity was exposed due to the last palace coup, the third prince Yan Hongyi, who had the greatest hatred, had been killed by him, so he could be directly ruled out.

Then, the only possibility is...

The image of the fourth prince Yan Chen suddenly appeared in Lin Hao's mind.

After changing his mind, Lin Hao shook his head and temporarily denied this guess.

After all, now that Yan Chen has ascended the throne and has control over the assassination force of the Minge Organization, if someone wants to assassinate him, there is no need to hire another killer.

If not him, then who could it be?

Lin Hao's eyes narrowed slightly, and the time limit information on the task list caught his attention.

"Lin Hao must be assassinated before the Hundred Colleges Competition!"

"If it is overdue, it will be considered a violation, all remuneration will be cancelled, and a penalty of five times the amount will be imposed!"

Lin Hao narrowed his eyes slightly and his gaze fell on the words "Before the Hundred Colleges Competition".

Choose to kill yourself before this time?

Could it be a threat to certain people?

While Lin Hao was confused, he could already vaguely see some clues.
