King of Assassins

Compared to drinking tea, Huo Tiejun actually enjoys the process of brewing tea more. It allows both his body and spirit to relax.

Yuan Ling’Er took another sip of tea, and she exhaled softly in satisfaction, "This kind of life is really good."

Huo Tiejun glanced outside the window. Although this was the city center, because the Celestial Net Mansion was so tall, you could still see the vast slums outside, and further off, the Cyan Blue Guard Sea.

He paused for a moment and said, "The world shouldn’t be like this."

Yuan Ling’Er slightly furrowed her brows; her eyebrows were thick and black, which paired with her shiny big eyes, made her look full of spirit and particularly cute.

When she slightly frowned, she appeared a bit melancholic and mature, but overall, this state made her look even cuter.

She paused for a moment and said, "To change the world, this is the opportunity right now."

"What opportunity?"

Huo Tiejun’s eyes lit up, "We came to Wei’an City just for this opportunity?"

"I guess so."

Yuan Ling’Er, rarely hesitant, tilted her head and thought for a while before saying, "This person will change all of our destinies."

"Who is it?"

Huo Tiejun’s eyes grew even brighter, "I’m already impatient to change my fate."

"A young man who recently emerged in Wei’an City..."

With her eyes closed, Yuan Ling’Er thought for a while before saying, "He has a pair of beautiful deep blue eyes."

Huo Tiejun curiously asked, "What is his background, what qualification does he have to change our fate?"

Yuan Ling’Er clutched her temples, feeling sharp pain, and said irritably, "How should I know, fate doesn’t speak to me so clearly."

"Alright then."

Huo Tiejun didn’t insist. He’s known Yuan Ling’Er for over two years and understood her nature. If Yuan Ling’Er didn’t want to talk, forcing was useless.

Huo Tiejun excitedly said, "Let me see what skills this person has that can change our destiny?"

Yuan Ling’Er was startled: "Hey, don’t mess around."

"What’s there to be afraid of? A strong person who can change our fate won’t fear this kind of test."

Huo Tiejun was indifferent to the threat.

"What if you end up killing him?" Yuan Ling’Er was a bit worried; the Celestial Net Company’s power was immense, and it’s difficult for an individual to oppose such a huge organization.

"If he’s truly killed, it only shows your prediction is flawed. How could a person capable of changing our fate be so incompetent?"

Huo Tiejun resolutely said, "Only through blood and fire can all facades be removed to reveal one’s true nature."

Yuan Ling’Er shook her head repeatedly: "If you anger him, he might end up killing us all."

"Is this how our fate changes?"

Huo Tiejun couldn’t help but laugh, "What’s that supposed to mean. But if it’s death, then so be it. What’s there to fear? In such a filthy world, life is cheap and stupid!"

Yuan Ling’Er was a bit speechless; Huo Tiejun is quite smart but has a bit of an obsession.

However, only those with an obsession would pursue such outrageous ideals.

Yuan Ling’Er was going to try convincing him, but on second thought, what Huo Tiejun said wasn’t entirely without reason.

The revelations of fate she received weren’t necessarily accurate either. The person supposed to change their destiny, what skills do they have to change their destiny? How would they know without trying?

As Yuan Ling’Er thought about this, she felt dizzy, and vaguely saw a pair of dark gold eyes revealing themselves in the void. These eyes were pure yet indifferent, without any emotion.

Yuan Ling’Er felt a bit confused in her mind, who actually is the person destined to change their fate? She was having trouble distinguishing again.

The revelations of fate are always so vague. How they should be interpreted depends entirely on her alone.

Yuan Ling’Er hesitated for a moment but eventually didn’t tell Huo Tiejun about this. She was genuinely afraid that Huo Tiejun would mess things up.

Huo Tiejun had already pulled out a communicator and started issuing orders, and Yuan Ling’Er could hear clearly beside him. Three top gangs: Purple Rose, Quick Blade Gang, and Black Dragon Society, were all mobilized to investigate this man with the deep blue eyes.

Finding a man with such features in a city of millions of people was actually not easy.

However, there was another condition, which was that he recently emerged.

In the slum area, who knows how many people are hiding? Investigating one by one would be difficult. There weren’t many who had recently emerged.

The Purple Rose is powerful and is adjacent to the Iron Bear Gang, so they quickly found Gao Xuan.

To ordinary people, Gao Xuan might not be important. But those involved in gang affairs would always pay attention to such experts.

Old Demon from Purple Rose personally moved to contact Li Zhennan.

Li Zhennan dared not be negligent. Although Purple Rose’s name sounded somewhat feminine, it actually represented lethal and ferocious tactics; after killing, they’d use the solidified blood to paint a rose.

The seven sworn brothers running Purple Rose, Old Demon, was the youngest, ranked seventh. Naturally, when "youngest" came to the lips of others, it turned into "Old Demon."

Old Demon wore a bright red outfit, his hair was plastered with hair gel, and his face had exaggerated black eyeshadow and black lipstick.

His face was naturally pale, paired with this makeup, making him look even more like a ghost.

Li Zhennan had interacted with Old Demon twice before, and was always uncomfortable with his clothing style.

But Purple Rose’s strength was too great, he truly couldn’t afford to provoke them. Regardless of what he thought inside, he had to show enough respect outwardly.

"Old Li, it’s been a while since we last saw each other; I heard your household has stirred things up lately."

Old Demon greeted casually, relaxed, even a bit arrogant, despite being on Iron Bear Gang’s territory.

Li Zhennan smiled apologetically: "No, no, just resolved some grievances with Su Fei."

"Flying Knife Association isn’t much, but Su Fei’s flying blade is quite something. How did you handle Su Fei?"
