Dragon's Origin

#1064 - Add some fire (Part 1)

“What kind of reputation?” The old assassin didn't react for a moment and hurriedly asked.

“The reputation of not revealing the client's name after accepting a job.” Wang Sheng said with a sneer, smiling as he asked.

The old assassin had just told Wang Sheng that the client who wanted to assassinate him was Zhu Xingsheng from Baoqing Yu Tang, and now Wang Sheng was asking about their reputation of not revealing the client's name. It was simply a face-to-face mockery.

But the old assassin didn't think so. Instead, he seriously replied, “Our reputation has always been very good. We have never revealed the names of legitimate clients. Favors don't count. There are some people we don't kill, but we have to act to repay favors, but it's not our intention and doesn't count as our business.”

The old assassin's words were an explanation of the helplessness of revealing Baoqing Yu Tang's favor earlier. At the same time, it was a guarantee to Wang Sheng that they would definitely value legitimate business.

“That's good!” Wang Sheng smiled: “Fifty tickets. You don't need to give me the gold coins. Kill someone for me!”

Fifty tickets at market price were five million gold coins, which was a big business anywhere. The old assassin nodded without saying a word: “Who do you want to kill? Please tell me, Duke.”

“Consider this a deposit.” Wang Sheng didn't answer directly, but continued, “You can get the tickets today. Later, I have a one hundred million gold coin business to take care of you. I wonder if you, old man, can make the decision?”

Five million gold coins was just a deposit, and there was a one hundred million gold coin business later. Even the old assassin, who had been killing people since he was young and had seen many big scenes, was shocked by Wang Sheng's casual words.

What kind of person needed to be killed for one hundred million gold coins? Hiring a legendary assassin would normally cost a few million gold coins. How many legendary assassins would they have to hire to earn this one hundred million gold coins?

“Could the Duke reveal the approximate target?” The old assassin's forehead was already sweating. Who knew that discussing a small matter like tickets could suddenly turn into a business worth hundreds of millions of gold coins?

“A high-level official of a principality.” Wang Sheng didn't mind the news leaking. If the elders of Divine Might Prison couldn't keep this secret, then he wouldn't be worthy of being an elder.

A high-level official of a principality, no wonder. This price could even kill a king. The old assassin pondered for a while before carefully replying: “Duke, I'm sorry, but I can't give you an answer now. Allow us to discuss it and then give you a reply.”

“Alright!” Wang Sheng nodded, a normal request that Wang Sheng would definitely fulfill. However, Wang Sheng added, smiling, “If you accept, then you can take this one hundred million gold coins first, and send the results over after a while.”

The old assassin gasped again. Taking the reward first was not an ordinary assassination, but a guaranteed kill.

There were two rules for assassins. One was like Worry-Free City, where a reward was posted for killing someone. If the assassin thought it was possible, they could completely ignore everything and kill the person first, and then bring the evidence to collect the reward.

The other was to take the money first, and then kill the target at any cost.

Usually, businesses worth hundreds of thousands or millions were usually rewarded according to the first method. No one would put the gold coins in the other party's hands first and then wait for an unknown time to complete the result. Even businesses worth hundreds of thousands were like this, let alone hundreds of millions.

But Wang Sheng directly put on a posture of giving money first, which was to force Divine Might Prison to act at all costs. From another point of view, it was forcing the assassins of Divine Might Prison to their deaths. There were only two results: either Divine Might Prison sent assassins one after another to kill the target and get the reward, or all the assassins of Divine Might Prison were killed by the target. There was no other possibility.

Generally, before accepting such a business, Divine Might Prison would first make an assessment. If they could do it, they would accept it. If they felt the loss was too great and not worth it, they would simply not accept it. In this regard, Divine Might Prison and Worry-Free City were still different.

As the old Li who investigated Wang Sheng's killing methods said a long time ago, Divine Might Prison only killed those who could be killed, so the reputation of Divine Might Prison became more and more prosperous.

“Duke, to be honest, a high-level official of a principality probably doesn't need one hundred million gold coins.” The old assassin thought for a while and still told the truth.

There was a market price for killing people outside. Even if Divine Might Prison guaranteed to kill, it would not exceed twice the price. One hundred million gold coins was enough to kill many people.

“It's not just killing one person, all the high-level officials are included, even the king.” Wang Sheng nodded and explained, “Including their families, there are always hundreds of people, big and small. The price is calculated per person. I'm not afraid to tell you, if you can kill a few masters of the Xia Kingdom's king and high-level officials along the way, that's fine too. You can weigh it yourself.”

“Including the Xia Kingdom's king...” Hearing that it was the Xia Kingdom, the old assassin breathed a sigh of relief, pondered for a moment, and raised his head to say to Wang Sheng: “Duke, I'm afraid one hundred million is not enough.” The assassins of Divine Might Prison were not that cheap.

The Xia Kingdom was currently in a state of chaos due to the Shan Yue Kingdom's attack. Taking action at this time was equivalent to being attacked from both sides, and the difficulty of attacking was much lower. This business could be considered.

“You name a number, I won't bargain, and I'll give you an extra 20% as a pension.” Wang Sheng's words blocked everything the old assassin wanted to say in his throat, and he couldn't say a word.

Counting the whole world, for hundreds of years, no customer who had done business with Divine Might Prison had been as generous as Wang Sheng. Saying a number sounded simple, but it showed Wang Sheng's domineering attitude at all times. Bargaining was simply out of the question in front of Wang Sheng.

The old assassin understood that even if he said the price was ten times the market price, Wang Sheng would definitely nod. And Wang Sheng would definitely be able to take it out, the old assassin had no doubt about this.

But if they took Wang Sheng's gold coins, the entire Divine Might Prison would probably not have to do anything else for a short time. This single business could top their income for several years. What was even more terrifying was that this was purely forcing Divine Might Prison to fight to the death.

“Duke, I will go back and discuss this immediately, and I will definitely give you a reply whether it works or not.” The old assassin couldn't sit still anymore and just wanted to leave quickly.

“If you agree, I can reserve fifty tickets for Divine Might Prison for each concert.” Wang Sheng offered tea to see him off, not forgetting to add a bargaining chip.

The old assassin, who had already stood up, trembled again. This time, he didn't say anything, cupped his hands to Wang Sheng to say goodbye, and then left in a hurry.

Now the situation was already very chaotic, and Wang Sheng didn't mind adding fuel to the fire.
