Inside a private room of a high-end hotel in the southern part of the city.
Xu Bing's eyes were empty, devoid of any emotion.
He vigorously stabbed the steak with his fork, as if venting his frustration.
As for the person sitting opposite him, he was dressed in black, with sallow skin, and had the same expression as Xu Bing.
However, the man in black now had a cold look on his face.
Or... a murderous aura that makes people afraid to approach.
This kind of temperament is not something ordinary people can possess; one wonders how many lives it would take to achieve such a temperament.
"Mr. Xu, I didn't expect this."
The man in black crossed his arms and sneered, "When I last came to Daxia, Baogeli was still the largest company in the South City."
"I never imagined that such a large change could occur in just a few years..."
"Not only is the Xu family patriarch gone, but even his eldest son, you, have fallen to such a state. The Bulgari business..."
"It's a pity, but selling your assets now is indeed the best option for you."
Upon hearing the man in black's words, Xu Bing's expression became noticeably unnatural.
However, he didn't show it; he just secretly gritted his teeth.
That's right, Xu Bing of today no longer has the right to be angry or lose his temper.
Ultimately, strength should be the primary factor, regardless of the circumstances.
"You don't need to worry about these things; I'll handle them myself."
Xu Bingqiang forced a smile and looked at the man in black opposite him with a "kind" expression.
"I invited you here not so you could gossip about my family affairs."
After a pause, Xu Bing laughed heartily.
He continued, "You are assassins. I invited you here... to kill, not to talk."
Xu Bing wasn't exactly known for his good temper, but he certainly had the capacity to handle this much.
As the saying goes, family scandals should not be aired in public, but with the Xu family's decline, the Bulgari company is doomed.
This is basically common knowledge among the upper class in Nancheng.
All of this was, of course, done by Lu Fan.
No one would be happy to have their family's embarrassing secrets discussed to their face, right?
Especially for someone like Xu Bing, a rich young master, who has had a smooth life from childhood to adulthood and has been fawned over by everyone.
Given the sudden change, it's quite remarkable that they were able to remain so patient.
The man in black rolled his eyes, clearly not taking the matter to heart.
"Tch, it's just a few words of discussion, it's not a big deal."
“I’ve already seen that person’s identity and basic information. It seems that the person also has the surname Xu, the same as you.”
Hearing the man in black's casual remark, Xu Bing gritted his teeth.
After a moment of silence, he finally managed to utter a sentence:
That's my younger brother.
"Forehead……"
The man in black fell silent.
Good heavens, what kind of grudge could this be?
He put a bounty on his own younger brother, ordering an assassin to kill him, and the price seemed quite high.
It's clear that Xu Bing went to great lengths to kill his own brother.
However, the man in black was still somewhat puzzled. Over the years, he had taken on quite a few jobs and had many appointments in his hands.
But I don't think I've encountered such a situation before.
The man in black couldn't understand what kind of grudge or hatred could lead someone to kill their own brother.
In the end, the man in black couldn't control his curiosity.
He asked in bewilderment, "What happened between you that led to this situation?"
Is there really no way to turn things around?
Upon hearing the man in black's words, Xu Bing abruptly stopped what he was doing.
He even glanced at the man in black sitting opposite him with a hint of confusion in his eyes.
What happened between us? Is that something a killer should ask?
Although your organization is very powerful, it seems like assassins don't pry into other people's private affairs, do they?
Furthermore, what does it mean to say, "Is there really no room for reversal?"
Brother, you're an assassin!
Assassin!
You've come here to mediate?
Xu Bing even thought he had misheard.
Is this person a fake assassin?
Just as Xu Bing was wondering, the man in black spoke again, explaining:
"Well, don't overthink it. I'm just curious. I want to know what you brothers went through to end up in this state."
Even though he was furious inside, Xu Bing remained calm and smiled as he spoke:
"You really want to know that much? But don't you think you're talking a bit too much, as an assassin?"
Xu Bing's words were already quite suggestive.
It means you're talking too much. You should know your place and not ask questions you shouldn't.
However, contrary to Xu Bing's expectations, the man in black did not seem to understand his meaning.
The man in black nodded calmly.
He then said, "Oh, you do seem to be talking a lot. So what exactly happened between you two?"
Xu Bing: "..."
Are you sure you understood what I said?
Xu Bing was truly helpless; now, doubt filled his eyes…
This assassin seems to have something wrong with his head.
Seeing that Xu Bing remained silent, the assassin swallowed the food in his mouth.
He asked again, "What's wrong? Tell me."
"There's nothing to be embarrassed about, and I won't tell anyone. As assassins, we're the most tight-lipped. Haven't you heard the saying, 'No one can pry open an assassin's mouth'?"
"Besides, we assassins never talk, we just do things."
Upon hearing this, Xu Bing's lips twitched violently.
I don't know if he only does things, but are you sure he doesn't talk?
Since you came in, you, an assassin, seem to have said more than I have. Is that normal?
No matter how you put it, it doesn't seem quite right, does it?
"It's very simple."
Xu Bing naturally thought of Fang Ran's response as well, and calmly said, "He killed my father."
In fact, when the bounty was placed on Xu Song, Xu Bing was unaware that he had killed the old man.
This was something Xu Song himself revealed a few days ago.
But he couldn't very well say it was because of a property dispute; that wouldn't sound very good.
Moreover, even though he had almost nothing left, Xu Bing didn't want his reputation to be bad.
After all, he still has plans to make a comeback.
Upon hearing this, the man in black suddenly realized:
“Oh, then he should indeed be killed, after all, the hatred for killing one’s father is irreconcilable.”
For this reason, they still get quite a few jobs, and many assassins are willing to take on jobs involving such deep-seated grudges.
Perhaps this way, one feels less guilty when killing, euphemistically calling it helping someone get revenge.
"etc……"
The man in black seemed to suddenly realize something, and narrowed his eyes.
"He's your own brother, and then he killed your father. Wasn't your father his father? He killed his own father?"
"That makes sense."
Xu Bing seemed to have gotten used to the assassin's rambling.
He nodded...
