"Wait, something's not right!"
Wolf Fang blocked Luo Chen's path, his entire being resembling a lion poised to pounce, glaring fiercely at the bald old man.
"What's wrong?"
Luo Chen was somewhat puzzled.
With his cultivation level, why would he care about an old man?
He has already reached the Grandmaster level.
Logically speaking, no martial artist in this world should be his match.
Why is Wolf Fang so nervous?
"I know this old man!"
Wolf Fang gritted his teeth and said urgently, "Have you ever heard of the Assassin's Hall?"
"Assassin's Hall? That foreign assassin organization? I've heard of it, it's very famous."
Although Luo Chen didn't know what Langya was wary of, he believed that the other party wouldn't make a move without reason. He mobilized all his aura, revealing his Grandmaster-level aura without a doubt.
"Yes, the person in front of us is the ace of the Assassin's Hall, Black Cloud Evil God!"
Wolf Fang, standing nearby, also watched the bald old man warily.
"The Assassin's Palace's ace... Black Cloud Evil God?"
Luo Chen frowned, becoming even more vigilant.
He had seen the Assassin's Guild in the original novel.
Very strong!
However, this organization only gradually came to light later on, and it caused considerable trouble for the protagonist.
The one with the best chance of killing the protagonist is the Assassin Hall.
Upon hearing Langya's words, Luo Chen was quite surprised.
The day the Assassin's Guild was to emerge has actually come earlier than expected?
But... why is this happening?
In the original story, it was because the protagonist destroyed the Jiang family and, before the Jiang family's demise, offered a huge amount of assets that he was able to persuade the Assassin's Hall to intervene.
But now, the Jiang family is still alive and well.
Why did the Assassin's Hall emerge ahead of schedule?
"Oh, I didn't expect there to be two experts here in the mainland?"
The bald old man slowly finished eating his corn, then comfortably lay back in his chair. His swollen old eyes were slightly narrowed, and his ambiguous smile made it impossible to guess what he was thinking.
"What do you want by stopping us?"
Wolf Fang did not relax in the slightest and remained on high alert.
He knew all too well how terrifying the Assassin's Guild was, and the person in front of him was their trump card; he truly couldn't afford to reveal even a single flaw.
Otherwise, the result will be the separation of the person from their head!
"It's nothing, just saying hello."
The bald old man chuckled, then slowly stood up, picked up his chair, and walked slowly toward the Jiang family's residence like an ordinary old man.
"Young man, very good."
As the bald old man passed by the two, he glanced at them, said something ambiguous, and then walked away without looking back.
It wasn't until the bald old man left that Luo Chen came to his senses and immediately realized that his back was soaked with cold sweat.
Luo Chen's eyes were filled with disbelief.
This bald old man is so intimidating?
It made him, a Grandmaster, sense the danger of death.
How high must the bald old man's cultivation level be?
Is this the oppressive aura emanating from the Assassin's Hall's ace assassin?
"You felt it?"
Wolf Fang slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air, the lingering shock in his eyes still undiminished. He said calmly, "I didn't expect that the Assassin's Hall would finally emerge after being silent for so long. Luo Chen, you must be careful."
"Me? What should I be careful about?"
Luo Chen was completely baffled. He wasn't some big shot, so he shouldn't be targeted by the Assassin's Hall, right?
"Within the Assassin's Hall, there's a bounty list that records almost all the wealthy, high-ranking officials, and scions of powerful families from around the world. Given the Luo family's current strength, your name is very likely on this bounty list, and your ranking will definitely not be low!"
Wolf Fang gritted his teeth, turned his head and stared intently at the bald old man's departing figure, his voice dry as he said, "If it weren't for that, Black Cloud Evil God wouldn't have paid so much attention to you. Only the top fifty people could interest this ace assassin!"
"Me? Ranked in the top fifty?"
Luo Chen pointed to his own nose, dumbfounded.
Wolf Fang must be joking, right?
Only the world's most important people are qualified to be on the list. I'm already on it, but to be ranked in the top fifty?
That's hilarious!
Luo Chen asked himself if he had that ability.
"Really, and it will definitely be higher than fifty, not lower than fifty."
Wolf Fang let out a deep breath, then looked at Luo Chen seriously and said, "I request that all my former brothers be summoned back. Your safety must be guaranteed. I suspect that the people from the Assassin's Hall have already begun to make a move against you."
"Okay, I'll do as you say."
Luo Chen touched his nose and nodded in agreement.
Nobody would joke about their own life.
Since Wolf Fang made this suggestion, there must be a reason for it.
Luo Chen had no objection.
After they reached an agreement, the two left.
Unexpectedly, the Jiang family has joined forces with the Assassin's Hall. It seems that the Jiang family's ambitions are quite grand.
However, Luo Chen couldn't figure out what the Jiang family was planning to do.
It's not his fault.
It's all this damn system's fault!
Why are you making arbitrary changes to the plot and revising the storyline?
This has resulted in Luo Chen being unable to deduce any useful information from the original work.
Ye Feng, who was supposed to visit today, didn't show up; instead, he was arrested by the Tianjin Guards.
The Assassin's Guild, which was supposed to appear later in the original work, actually appeared in the early part of the story, around the first chapter.
The plot of this book has become so chaotic that even Luo Chen can't understand it.
There's nothing I can do. Since the original work can't help me, I guess I'll just have to take it one step at a time.
Luo Chen made up his mind and shook his head helplessly.
[...]
The Assassin's Hall, a force that has existed for just over a decade, yet is feared by all assassin organizations in the world.
To be honest, an organization without a solid foundation will find it difficult to gain a foothold in the assassin world.
The Assassin's Hall is an exception.
It is said that ten years ago, the world's most famous organization, The Thieves, suddenly made an exception and offered a reward for the head of the leader of a small country called Piqué.
Prior to that, the Thieves' Guild had never offered a reward for a member of the political establishment.
Regardless of the reason, the amount of the reward offered at the time was enough to tempt even some large families with centuries of history.
It is said that the top-ranked assassin on the Thieves' Gate list accepted the mission and joined forces with the last two of the top three to assassinate the thieves. The three, who should have completed the mission without any doubt, were found dead the next day.
Some assassins who thought small countries were weak and wanted to take advantage of the situation were instantly rendered helpless.
Just kidding, what kind of organization is the Thieves' Guild?
Even the top three on the Thieves' Killer List have fallen there, so why should a small-time assassin like myself, who makes a living off bounties, bother with this?
Are you just feeding them kills?
The bodies of the three thieves were hung on the walls of the small country's city and dried into dried human skin.
There are many assassins in the world, but only a few are truly outstanding. Even they wouldn't dare to take on a mission, so anyone else would have to think twice before accepting it, wondering if their own head is really worth that much money.
