King of Assassins

Iron Horn District, Iron Bear Gang Headquarter Tower.

"Twenty million, Celestial Net Company is really spending big."

Li Feihong sighed. She had been managing the gang alongside her father for several years, but it was the first time she had seen the company offer such a huge bounty.

All the gangs knew that the company was the real boss. Of course, there were always reckless fools who dared to provoke the company, and they all died very quickly.

If the company wanted someone dead, all they had to do was say the word. Naturally, many gang members were eager to curry favor with the company.

This time they actually offered a twenty million bounty, showing how much the company valued Gao Xuan.

Twenty million might not be a big deal for big gangs, but surely all the gangs would seize this opportunity to prove themselves. If they could win this bounty, not only could they win the favor of the company’s big shots, but they could also make a name for themselves!

This was indeed a good opportunity!

Li Feihong clearly understood this, so she truly thought Gao Xuan was finished.

She didn’t quite admire Gao Xuan’s wildness, yet she had a bit of admiration for his skills and envied his carefree disregard for everything.

In her heart, Li Feihong still considered Gao Xuan a friend, and she didn’t want him to get into trouble.

Unfortunately, Gao Xuan had no chance of winning in this storm. His only chance was to run as far as he could.

However, all roads out of Wei’an City would be controlled by the gangs. With the Celestial Net Company’s bounty, Gao Xuan had no chance of leaving.

The city was surrounded by mutated plants and animals. Without a guide familiar with the roads and enough supplies, it was very difficult for one person to traverse the exceedingly dangerous wilderness.

Li Feihong felt that Gao Xuan’s fate was already sealed, and she inevitably sighed over it.

But Li Zhennan shook his head: "Don’t worry about Gao Xuan just yet. He single-handedly attacked the Purple Rose Headquarters and reportedly made Purple Rose bleed rivers. It took the leader, Purple, personally to make him retreat..."

Given the strength Gao Xuan displayed, as long as he didn’t fall into a dead end, most gangs probably couldn’t handle him.

Gao Xuan is cold and ruthless, killing faster than cutting vegetables.

Li Zhennan thought that many people didn’t understand Gao Xuan’s strength. If they rushed to kill Gao Xuan, who knew how many would die. The existing gang structure might have to be reshuffled.

He thought for a moment and added, "Stay indoors for the next few days, watch over Little Yu, and have all the brothers ready for trouble."

"Who would come looking for trouble?" Li Feihong asked, puzzled.

Li Zhennan said with some concern, "After all, we’ve had dealings with Gao Xuan. If this group can’t find Gao Xuan, they might come to us."

"Why would they come to us? Surely we wouldn’t be hiding Gao Xuan," Li Feihong found it a bit laughable. They weren’t crazy enough to get involved with Gao Xuan at this time.

"People’s minds are unpredictable, it’s hard to say."

Li Zhennan said, "Better to be on the safe side. It’s always good to be prepared."

As he finished speaking, a subordinate outside said loudly, "Boss, the leader of Purple Rose and Poison are here to visit."

Li Zhennan was alarmed. The Purple Rose leader was very famous, yet this person was extraordinarily mysterious, almost no one knew them.

This time, the person came openly to see him, what could it mean?

Could it be that because their base had been slaughtered by Gao Xuan, and they couldn’t find him, they came to vent their anger on them?

Mystery itself is a kind of powerful force.

People are less in awe of those they are familiar with. Of the unfamiliar, they tend to have a bit more respect.

Purple, as the most mysterious leader in Wei’an City, is rumored to have extremely strong martial abilities. Supposedly the top fighter in Wei’an City.

Of course, Purple Rose never claimed this, nor would the other major gangs admit such a claim.

But since Purple never appeared publicly, this mystery added a lot to her reputation.

Upon hearing that Purple was visiting, Li Zhennan was indeed shocked. He quickly made arrangements and led Li Feihong to the seventh-floor reception room.

This reception room was luxuriously furnished and, of course, had many special safety features, sufficient to guarantee the host’s safety.

Li Zhennan and Li Feihong hadn’t been in the reception room for long when Purple and Poison arrived.

Upon seeing Purple in person, Li Zhennan was momentarily stunned. He knew Purple was a woman, but he didn’t know she was so young and beautiful.

Though Purple wore large sunglasses, they couldn’t hide her looks. Moreover, Purple was tall and well-proportioned, dressed neatly and with a carefree aura. Overall, she was full of charm.

Such a beauty, her looks alone were enough to make a place in Wei’an City. Moreover, Purple appeared truly young. Likely only in her twenties.

This era was full of pollution everywhere, and although women had cosmetics, the air and water were heavily polluted, causing significant harm to the body.

Even well-maintained women began to show signs of aging by their thirties.

Modified People could maintain their appearance through modifications, but they often exhibited a stiff demeanor, exposing the signs of their transformation.

Purple’s skin was fair and radiant, and she exuded a kind of reserved power. This certainly wasn’t a Modified Person, and she wasn’t very old.

Considering Purple Rose had been powerful already a decade ago, it means that Purple founded Purple Rose and became its leader in her teens.

Realizing this, Li Zhennan held Purple in even higher esteem. Managing numerous unruly experts as a teenager, she must have had exceptional means.
