Super Gene Hunting Ground

Mr. Master wore his usual white long robe with a white cloak and veil, sitting in the chief seat of the room, casting a glance at everyone through the veil, and said in his habitually disguised male voice, in a deep tone:

"Everyone, the mission to assassinate Yang Xiao has failed this time, and I must take the main responsibility. I have already canceled the task from the Vulture Chamber of Commerce."

Beside him, Second Master said:

"Mr. Master, I think we should be able to defeat Yang Xiao."

Second Master did not believe that they couldn’t defeat Yang Xiao together with those present.

Mr. Master said coldly:

"Your meaning is that I am not a match for Yang Xiao, but each of you has the ability to defeat Yang Xiao, is that right?"

Second Master felt a chill in his heart and immediately bowed his head:

"I dare not, that’s not what I mean; my point is, if we all attack together—"

Before he finished, he was interrupted by Mr. Master waving his hand,

"This matter is decided as such. In the future, for any assassination commission against Yang Xiao, no matter how much the client offers, our Dark Web will not accept it."

"..."

Everyone looked at Mr. Master in a moment of silence.

They all felt that Mr. Master’s decision today was somewhat strange, but no one dared to contradict.

"This matter is decided, immediately cancel the bounty task for assassinating Yang Xiao internally on the Dark Web, and recall all assassins in the City of Hope."

"Yes."

...

Duan Jinjiang and his group rushed back to the city headquarters of the Vulture Chamber of Commerce overnight.

"Where is the Fifth Elder? How is the matter of capturing the family of the Tenth Elder Ma Kui going?"

"Reporting to the President, the Fifth Elder has already taken people to capture Ma Kui’s family, and he should be back soon."

"Let him see me immediately when he returns."

"Yes."

Duan Jinjiang had a stomach full of anger with nowhere to vent. Back at the Trade Union headquarters, he personally checked the treasury and felt a twinge seeing that it had decreased by five billion crystal disks.

When the Fifth Elder returned to the Trade Union headquarters and heard that Duan Jinjiang had returned, he immediately came over to report the situation.

"President Duan, things are not well."

Duan Jinjiang was startled,

"What do you mean?"

"I took guards to the place where Ma Kui’s family was, and found that Ma Kui’s family had left long ago. I inquired, and it is said that dozens of people came about two hours ago saying they were relatives of Ma Kui, holding a celebratory event, and took away the entire Ma Kui family."

"What?"

Hearing this, Duan Jinjiang was furious, slamming the table with a snap, shattering a solid wood table into pieces.

"Who took away Ma Kui’s family? You haven’t found out?"

The Fifth Elder shook his head.

"Then quickly investigate who took away Ma Kui’s family. Damn it, nothing has gone smoothly these days, really infuriating!"

Duan Jinjiang felt thirsty and wanted to drink tea, but the table in front of him had already been shattered by his smack, with the teapot and teacups turned to pieces. He turned to roar at the guard at the door:

"Serve tea!"

A guard, terrified, came over, hurriedly found another set of tea utensils in the room, poured a cup of tea, and handed it to Duan Jinjiang.

Duan Jinjiang drank it all in one gulp, then smashed the cup to the ground,

with a "pop," the cup shattered.

"Damn it, I must avenge this grudge against Yang Xiao, otherwise, I refuse to be a man."

The Second Elder, Ma Xiaotian, standing to the side, cautiously said:

"President, I think you should calm down for the time being. I hate Yang Xiao as much as you do, but now even Mr. Master of the Dark Web has voluntarily canceled the commission, and I guess the whole Central Continent will soon know this news."

"So what if they know? I am determined to kill Yang Xiao!"

"Now the only allies we can turn to are the three Demon City Lords of the Central Continent, but seeking their help at this time, they will certainly extort us severely."

Hearing this, Duan Jinjiang took a deep breath and remained silent.

He was a businessman and naturally understood various principles.

If Yang Xiao were an easy person to kill, the cost of hiring someone to assassinate him would be small.

But now, the Dark Web would rather compensate one billion crystal disks to cancel the commission, and if we seek the three Demon City Lords, they would likely demand at least five billion crystal disks.

The Vulture Chamber of Commerce is wealthy, but it can’t withstand such a toss; already they had five billion crystal disks snatched by Yang Xiao today,

even though they got back two billion from the Dark Web. Still, taking out another three billion, the Trade Union’s finances would quickly dry up, plunging into a liquidity crisis.

The Vulture Chamber of Commerce purchases vast amounts of various goods from cities outside the Central Continent daily, all requiring large prepayment of funds.

Duan Jinjiang dared not risk ruining the Trade Union to retaliate against Yang Xiao; otherwise, it would truly be a loss.

"Sigh! People shouldn’t be too kind; being too kind leads to being bullied,

and you’re also speaking truthfully. We’ll bear it for now; as long as Yang Xiao remains in the Central Continent, I don’t believe I won’t find a chance to avenge him."

The Second Elder immediately said:

"President Duan, your wisdom and calmness are indeed a blessing to our Trade Union."

Duan Jinjiang gave a bitter smile, suddenly remembered something, and said:

"Instruct them that from today on, no personnel from the Trade Union should interfere in any internal city conflicts or disputes between cities,

If it weren’t for this breach of the ancestor’s rule of not participating in city conflicts, we wouldn’t be in this passive situation now!"

...

News about Yang Xiao spread quickly across the entire Central Continent, sweeping through like a storm.

"Yang Xiao single-handedly seized the City of Hope, then took over Taita City, and finally defeated the Four-Sided Alliance Army of the Eight-clawed Lady, capturing Shuize City, Firebird City, and Cold Wind Valley all in one stroke."

"What is that? The Vulture Chamber of Commerce hired the Dark Web to assassinate Yang Xiao, offering a sky-high one billion crystal disks."

"The Dark Web sent the top hundred assassins from their hit list to assassinate Yang Xiao, but they were all completely wiped out, with none succeeding."

"The Dark Web’s Mr. Eight made a move, and was defeated by Yang Xiao."

"Mr. Master from the Dark Web personally came out to assassinate Yang Xiao, and it’s said they fought in the Dark Forest for three days and three nights, battling furiously until the sun and moon turned dark, wailing cries echoed, what an epic battle!"

"Finally, Mr. Master was defeated by Yang Xiao."

"Mr. Master canceled the Vulture Chamber of Commerce’s assassination commission, preferring to compensate one billion crystal disks, and issued an announcement that no matter who wants to commission the Dark Web to assassinate Yang Xiao, the Dark Web will not accept it."

"Who on earth is this Yang Xiao, defying the heavens like this?"

"What you’ve heard is nothing; did you know that in the five cities under Yang Xiao’s rule, all protection fees for citizens have been waived,

and commercial costs within the cities have been entirely exempted?"

"The City of Hope has its own trade convoy, bringing goods from outside at prices about half that of other cities."

"Rumor has it that the City of Hope has established a Cultivation School, where residents’ children can be taught cultivation techniques for Genetic Evolution for free."

"The City of Hope also has nuclear power and water supply, city planning is tidy, and the environment is livable!"

"I’ve personally been to the City of Hope; now the number of people wanting to settle there has exceeded many tens of thousands, with the registration time for settling reaching up to two years later."
