Ling Yun stood up and headed towards the mountain pa.s.s without helping Xiao Meimei up . At the same time, he was silently counting, "1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6…"
"Wait!" Xiao Meimei called out .
Ling Yun nodded his head slightly before stopping and saying without turning back, "What? You can't walk?"
Xiao Meimei blurted out, "I…I have a better idea . " He had been waiting for her to say these exact words . If she hadn't by the time he counted to nine, he would have gone back to kill her instantly .
He turned around with a grin on his face, "What idea? Tell me!" After contemplating silently, she looked at Ling Yun and replied, "Actually, I am in charge of this operation . I can trick them into coming up the mountain before killing them off together . "
Nodding in agreement, he asked, "What do I need to do?"
By suggesting this crazy idea, she had already decided that she would go against the a.s.sa.s.sins Organization and fully commit to Ling Yun . From this day on, she would follow only Ling Yun unless the organization fell . If he dies, she dies . If he lives, she lives .
"You . . . you only have to hide . Once they appear, you can come and deal with them . " Now that she had absorbed her situation, Xiao Meimei began to talk to Ling Yun respectfully .
Ling Yun then reminded her, "What if they do not come up together?"
Xiao Meimei had already planned this far and answered, "I will get them to gather below the mountains before asking them to come up . "
"Alright!" Ling Yun said cheerfully before turning to hide behind a pile of rocks . Xiao Meimei proceeded to fire off instructions, first getting Jiao Fei, Li Yi and the four snipers to gather . Twenty minutes later, she sent another command asking them to come up the mountain for a discussion without stating the reason .
Within the organization, the ranks of the snipers were equal to or below that of the yellow ranks . Hence, they had no choice but to obey the command even though it was strange .
The six well-trained killers quietly went up the mountain and in ten minutes, they reached the peak . "Xuan Qi, is the mission done? Where is Xuan Jiu?" Jiao Fei asked in a hurry after seeing Xuan Qi who was cradling her chest, sitting alone .
"It is done . " Ling Yun flew out from behind the rocks like a shadow using the Dragon Fish Phantom Technique while taking advantage of their shock . In less than ten seconds, the six figures crumpled to the ground .
"Xuan Qi, you . . . you betrayed us!" Jiao Fei cried out in anger as he struggled to keep his eyes open while being unable to move . Xiao Meimei sat silently and only stared at the six people on the ground coldly with a slight trace of sympathy .
They were fellow killers, not friends, who had been a.s.signed to the same case . If they succeeded, they could earn money . If they failed, they would get killed by the target or by their comrades and the ending would be the same . Killers always die in someone else's hands and the only difference is when they die .
Ling Yun gleefully took the gun from Li Yi's hands and after fiddling with it for awhile, he asked, "How does this work?" Li Yi immediately answered Ling Yun and it was, in fact, very simple . Ling Yun then took the gun to aim it at the rocks and tucked it away without firing . He then picked up a sniper gun and asked, "You should know how this works too, right?" As he used to be a soldier, Li Yi definitely knew how it worked . He answered Ling Yun but did not say anything else .
Aiming the gun at the rocks again, Ling Yun acknowledged that if he was to get shot with this gun, he would definitely be unable to dodge it . After playing around, he lowered his head to speak to the six people . "Let me tell you, I have already killed Xuan Jiu and Xuan Qi is under my command . To me, you guys are already dead but I know that you were under orders so I will not kill you . "
Sensing that there was hope, color flooded back onto their faces and the six people stared at Ling Yun while waiting for his next words . These people were killers with many lives on their hands . Their victims always pleaded when facing death, so now that the situation is reversed, they knew that Ling Yun definitely had conditions .
Ling Yun turned his head to look at Xiao Meimei and asked, "I forgot to ask you but how much am I worth?"
Xiao Meimei replied without missing a beat, "When we came it was 50 million dollars but if they knew about your skills, the organization would not accept anything below 200 million dollars . " Ling Yun smiled in glee after hearing his worth .
He looked back at the six people, saying, "I'm not going to make it difficult for you all . Just give me all your money and I will let you go to fend for yourselves . If you do not trouble me, I will also not trouble you . " For him to allow them to buy their own lives, it was a gift from heaven, so they instantly agreed . Ling Yun shook his head at the fact that people just couldn't look past life and death .
He then looked at Xiao Meimei again . "Where do you all keep your money?"
She replied, "We have our own accounts in a Swiss bank and money can be transferred with one phone call . " Ling Yun squatted down and did the same thing that he had done to Xiao Meimei on the six people before speaking .
"Now, transfer all your money to Xuan Qi's account . Then, I will ask Xuan Qi to check if the money is enough to buy your life!" Ling Yun knew that it was night here but it was morning in Europe, making it the perfect time to transfer money . Hence, he decided to do everything now while the timing was right . Little did he know that for these transactions, the Swiss bank did not care if it was morning or night as it was a 24-hour bank .
"Come here slowly and take turns to make the call!"
In less than half an hour, the six people had finished their transactions and Xiao Meimei had automatically informed Ling Yun every time she received a notification . Ling Yun had calculated that the total sum of money was equivalent to 33 million dollars once it was changed to the local currency . In addition to Xiao Meimei's money, he had collected 50 million dollars . In Qingshui City, 50 million dollars was more than enough to buy two to three luxurious villas and this excited Ling Yun .
Hmm, one for my mother, one for myself and the rest of the money to buy expensive medical supplies!
However, he started to regret killing Xuan Jiu as he estimated that Xuan Jiu would have had at least 18 million dollars . Ling Yun looked at Xiao Meimei and asked, "Are you sure everything is settled?"
She nodded timidly in response because, at this point, Ling Yun was scarier than any other monster to her . Ling Yun smiled and began to remove the hex from each person . He was keeping his side of the deal as he had received the money, so he was going to let them go .
Standing up, he muttered, "10 minutes . In 10 minutes, you will regain your mobility . Let me warn you that you should not try attacking my loved ones as I will not show any mercy if you do . I have only removed half of the spell that I put on you all . That will allow you to live properly for three months . After that, you have to come and find me, otherwise, you will die . "
Of course, Ling Yun had to have a backup plan in case they were to harm his family and leave once he let them go . In three months, Ling Yun would have reached a point in his training where he would be able to deal with anybody, even if they were seven times stronger than Xuan Qi . Finis.h.i.+ng up, he turned to look at Xuan Qi and said, "Let's go down the mountain!"
With that, he went to Xuan Qi's side and used the Dragon Fish Phantom Technique to disappear into the night within a few seconds . Now, Xuan Qi had half a billion dollars in her bank, so before the money was transferred to him, Ling Yun had to protect her properly .
The six people were only able to lie there with fear and dread on their faces as they thought about their bleak future of being on the run . If they did not kill or hunt others down, they would get killed . This was their destiny .
It is 2 am in the morning and Ling Yun was unable to practice . He had come to a decision that before he gets the money, he would not leave Xuan Qi's side . After descending the mountain, he grabbed Xuan Qi tightly and took off towards his rented apartment .
Ling Yun stood up and headed towards the mountain pa.s.s without helping Xiao Meimei up . At the same time, he was silently counting, "1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6…" .
"Wait!" Xiao Meimei called out
