King of Assassins

But upon reaching here, there aren’t many choices. At the end of the day, this is the fickle nature of fate.

Gao Xuan set aside his feelings and asked Li Zhennan, "Where is the Purple Rose Headquarters?"

Li Zhennan was taken aback; was Gao Xuan intending to repeat his past tactics, going straight to the enemy’s headquarters to eliminate them?

The issue is that Purple Rose is not the same as the Flying Knife Association.

The Flying Knife Association is merely a small second-tier gang, with a disorderly organizational structure. Neither Iron Bull being killed nor Little Yu being rescued was known to Su Fei.

Although there are many gang members within the Hexagonal Tower, they are nothing but a loose group. As long as Su Fei is dealt with, the others are not a concern.

However, Purple Rose is a tightly structured organization with many experts. The boss, Purple, is exceedingly secretive, and even internal personnel know nothing of her whereabouts.

Inside the Rose Mansion, there are even more high-tech devices, making the internal situation complex. Outsiders attempting to force their way in would lose their sense of direction.

In short, the Flying Knife Association is a bunch of thugs. Purple Rose, however, consists of elite experts. The difference between the two is immense.

Li Zhennan originally did not want to interfere, but he couldn’t help advising, "Purple Rose has many experts in a complex environment, with various high-tech weapons. Backed by Celestial Net Company, Mr. Gao, you should be cautious."

"Thank you. I know what to do."

Gao Xuan said, "Just give me the address; I’ll handle everything else."

Li Zhennan, powerless, could only provide Gao Xuan with the location of the Rose Mansion.

Gao Xuan waved goodbye to Li Zhennan and Li Feihong, saying, "I’ll leave now. Goodbye."

When Gao Xuan reached the door, he paused and glanced at Manager Wang standing against the wall, "You haven’t left yet?"

Manager Wang’s chubby face was dripping with sweat. He wanted to explain something, but his lips trembled uncontrollably, and he couldn’t get the words out.

He could only look at Gao Xuan pitifully, eyes pleading, hoping Gao Xuan would spare him.

Gao Xuan said to Manager Wang, "I’m a guest at the hotel, you’re the manager; you should protect me. Yet you rely on others to flaunt your power; such behavior is disgusting."

Manager Wang was about to desperately defend himself when Gao Xuan casually pulled out his gun and shot him in the head.

After dealing with Manager Wang, Gao Xuan unhurriedly reached the elevator.

In fact, there were two people from Purple Rose in the corridor, and as soon as they saw Gao Xuan coming out, they hurried into the safety passage.

The two were agile and swiftly ran down the stairs, descending much faster than an old-style elevator.

They almost sprinted out of the hotel entrance, rushed to their car, and started it at the fastest speed.

Only after driving out of this long street did they both breathe a sigh of relief.

They had been standing in the corridor on lookout, catching glimpses of the combat happening in the luxury suite.

Even just those glimpses nearly scared them to death.

Old Demon and One-Eyed, both experts, were dealt with by Gao Xuan. This incident had escalated dramatically.

After calming their nerves, they quickly used their communicators to relay the news to their leader.

They naturally didn’t have the privilege to contact Purple directly, but they could reach Dark Gold who manages Purple Rose.

Dark Gold, who is the second of Purple’s seven brothers, is called Second Master in the gang. Outsiders sometimes refer to him as Master Yao.

Dark Gold is meticulous, methodical, and sharp-minded. Under his leadership, Purple Rose has flourished.

In the Purple Rose gang, Purple is the boss of everyone. However, the actual affairs are managed by Second Master, Dark Gold.

The two gang members quickly contacted Second Master through their superiors and reported in detail all that they knew.

Upon hearing that both the third and seventh members were killed, Dark Gold was shocked and furious. Yet, due to his deep thinking, he managed to maintain composure, at least keeping his voice steady.

"Good job dealing with this. Return quickly and give me a detailed report..."

Dark Gold hung up the communicator, his face turning ashen.

Some unknown guy dared to kill their brothers! Based on the description from his subordinates, that guy could even release strong electrical currents!

This is no minor issue!

Dark Gold calmed himself and re-assessed the situation in his mind before heading to the elevator.

Dark Gold took the elevator to the tenth underground floor’s secure chamber, where he pressed the communicator button by the chamber door and briefly outlined the situation.

After a few seconds’ wait, the heavy iron door’s lock automatically opened. He hurriedly opened the door and entered the chamber.

Though called a secure chamber, it actually occupies the entire underground floor. The inside is spacious, well-furnished with variously appointed fixtures. Judging by its setup, it is lavishly decorated and doesn’t resemble a concealed underground chamber in the slightest.

The boss, Purple, was sitting on a sofa, elegantly crossing her long legs and lightly smoking a thin lady’s cigarette.

In the dimly lit room, the burning cigarette emitted an occasional flickering dark red glow; Purple’s delicate features also seemed to alter constantly with the fluctuating glow.

A pair of beautiful Dark Gold Eyes appeared ever deeper and more mysterious amidst the shifting glow and meandering smoke.

Dark Gold took only a glance before he dared not look further, bowing deeply with his head lowered, "Boss..."
