Chapter 15: The Path of the Assassin's Deception

"Another 3 million?"

"Does the White Clothes Pavilion take me for a fool?"

"We agreed on two million to kill Lu Xiao, shouldn't it be your responsibility if he's not dead?" Qin Kai originally thought a few hundred thousand more would suffice, but the other party asked for three million right off the bat.

The two million previously, plus another three million, that makes five million.

Is Lu Xiao, a soldier fresh out of service, really worth that much?

If I had known this, I wouldn't have gone to the White Clothes Pavilion in the first place.

With five million, I could have hired some street thugs and small-time hooligans, and they could have spit Lu Xiao half to death.

"If you're unwilling, then we don't have to do business."

"You lose two million, and we at the White Clothes Pavilion lose a valuable member we've trained for years."

"That just makes it easier for Lu Xiao." To swindle money out of Qin Kai, Chen Fei even resorted to reverse psychology.

There's no choice, who would've known Lu Xiao's demands were so strange.

Better I just go kill Qin Kai myself.

"Damn it!" Qin Kai cursed angrily.

Making things easy for Lu Xiao? Bullshit!

After being publicly slapped by Lu Xiao and deceived out of five million, I wouldn't be able to sleep until he's dead.

"I can fork out the three million!"

"But, can you assure me that your B-grade killer will definitely kill Lu Xiao?"

"If your killer dies again, will you come asking me for more money?"

Hearing Qin Kai loosen up, a smile appeared on Chen Fei's face over the phone.

"Rest assured, B-grade killers are extremely formidable."

"It's not just that Lu Xiao is a rookie soldier, even if he were the Soldier King, he'd still be on a one-way street to death."

"Of course, if you're not at ease, you can offer a higher price to hire our A-grade top assassin."

"Once you hire a top assassin, you become our supreme VIP at the White Clothes Pavilion, and we will complete your mission at all costs."

After saying all this, Chen Fei herself was a bit stunned.

She hadn't expected to be so smooth at deceiving people.

All that C-grade B-grade, gold medal assassin, and White Clothes Pavilion supreme VIP talk was just made up on the spot, none of these things actually existed.

"So... how much for an A-grade top assassin?" Qin Kai asked, thinking if the price was close enough, he might as well settle it in one go.

"Sixty-six million."

"Forget I asked. Just arrange the B-grade one, I'll transfer the money to the same account as before. Arrange it as soon as possible."

"We need to dispatch the B-grade assassin, we'll give you an answer within two days."

"Fine," Qin Kai replied and then transferred another three million from his father's bank card.

Five million, and another five million, it had only been a few hours and I've already spent over ten million on Lu Xiao.

All this money, couldn't I have spent it on a supercar? Or flirting with girls?

"Damn!" Qin Kai cursed under his breath. It was all Lu Xiao's fault.

"Motherfucker, I'll kill you sooner or later!"

"You'll kill who sooner or later? Me?" Just as Qin Kai's words fell, Lu Xiao's voice came from under the tree.

Qin Kai shuddered, stumbled fiercely, and tumbled down from the old locust tree.

If it weren't for the multitude of branches on the old locust tree that absorbed most of the impact, the fall might have left Qin Kai crippled.

"So, the assassin just now was your doing?"

"What if it was me!" Qin Kai got up off the ground, openly admitting it, not bothering to hide.

"Not much, just a broken arm to teach you a lesson," Lu Xiao said coldly, giving Qin Kai a glance before his fingers shot out rapidly, grabbing Qin Kai's left arm.

Crack!

The next second, Qin Kai's left arm was twisted and broken.

The sound of the bone being dislocated and fracturing was chilling.

"Ah..." Qin Kai's scream, like a slaughtering pig, echoed throughout the whole courtyard.

"Lu Xiao, you motherfucker, let go of me!"

"I swear you won't have a burial place when you die!"

Mocking Qin Kai after a scornful laugh, Lu Xiao, who lacked real skills but was full of tough talk, kicked Qin Kai away.

"Next time you hire a killer, find someone who's actually capable. Trash like this is just wasting my time."

"Also, each time you send someone to kill me, I'm going to break one of your arms or legs, got it?" After saying that, Lu Xiao whistled and turned to leave.

And at that moment, people had quietly gathered around.

After all, Qin Kai's scream just now was quite harrowing.

Seeing Qin Kai's limp arm, the people of the Qin Family couldn't help but swallow hard.

This Lu Xiao was incredibly bold, actually breaking Qin Kai's arm.

It was clearly a fight to the death.

But Qin Kai was truly miserable, humiliated by Lu Xiao so many times today...

"What are you looking at, get out of here!" Qin Kai glared at the onlookers, yelling loudly.

A bunch of cowards, just here to watch the drama, and only good at mouthing off.

If only you could fight Lu Xiao outright like I do, I wouldn't be so utterly unsupported.

"Motherfucker, if only I had the money, if I had a hundred million, I would've hired an A-grade killer to settle this," Qin Kai again bitterly gazed at Lu Xiao's retreating figure, his eyes dark and crazed.
