"Who on earth wants to create such a commotion that they need so many assassins?" After listening to Zhang nglong's explanation, even Anshou was secretly surprised.
This group of Divine Cultivators above the Fifth Grade had gathered almost over 90% of all the power of Anshou. Any one of the three major forces in the Skyless Realm, once they co out in full force, could cause a world-shaking impact on the entire realm.
"In the coming period, the Skyless Realm is bound to be anything but peaceful."
"So, are we taking this business or not?" Zhang nglong confird once again.
"Of course, we are!" With such a big deal, there's no reason for Anshou not to take it! They've even doubled the deposit for breach of contract. It would be quite disrespectful not to agree to this.
In fact, getting Anshou to kill soone is quite costly; assassinating a first-grade Divine Cultivator starts at 1 billion Divine Crystals, and the price fluctuates based on their strength, background, and social status.
For killing around a Fifth Grade Divine Cultivator, the price must exceed 50 billion Divine Crystals. If the target is even stronger, like a Seventh or Eighth Grade, it could cost hundreds of billions.
But despite the high price per deal, the profit isn't that substantial. Firstly, the cost is extrely high. Secondly, the execution period for each mission can be very long, ranging from three to five months, or even several years.
First, each mission requires comprehensive investigation into the target's information, assessing the necessary assassin level for the kill, and to avoid making a move on soone they can't provoke.
Then there's the preparation of the assassination plan. To ensure absolute success, preparations are incredibly tedious, sotis requiring a considerable upfront cost just to approach the target.
If the mission succeeds, the assassin earns a substantial commission. This is sothing no damned capitalist can control. They risk their lives, so their commission is at least 60% of the mission price.
However, if the kill fails, not only does the organization lose an excellent assassin, but they must also pay a huge compensation to a relative or friend of the assassin under the registration information, which could even surpass the mission reward.
The most feared scenario is assigning an underqualified assassin due to wrong intelligence. There was a mission once where due to misjudgnt and insufficient intelligence about a target, they lost 12 assassins before Anshou, enraged, personally finished off the target.
Since then, he spent enormous costs overhauling the information departnt to prevent similar occurrences.
That's why maintaining an Assassin Organization's expenses is horribly terrifying, and it's no surprise that Anshou is the poorest among the three giants.
But this ti the mission is different; the tifra is very short, and the price quoted by Zhang nglong is very high. Most importantly, the task is simple and the risk is low.
Even if he had to kill, at most it's just three to five people at a ti? Even if faced with a Divine Breath Eighth Grade expert, with 27 assassins mobilized together, there's no chance of survival. This trillion-dollar deal, even after giving out commissions to the assassins, would still leave Anshou making a considerable profit.
As for Zhang nglong offending soone untouchable, Anshou wasn't worried. The assassin's principle is to attack and then retreat a thousand miles away. If the gap is huge, they definitely won't make a move. If they do move, it's with over a 95% chance of a kill.
For an assassin, this principle outranks the mission in priority!
Moreover, he had also just told Zhang nglong that these people wouldn't be used as bodyguards but would operate hidden in the shadows.
In other words, even if Zhang nglong pissed off soone he shouldn't, and if the assassins couldn't handle it, their first action would be to run.
"Refreshing," Zhang nglong, without further ado, directly transferred the money to his account.
With a trillion credited, even Anshou was a little excited. "Give an address, and I'll send soone over in a while. All assassins have equipnt for information sharing, and you can issue orders directly to their leader. He will oversee all missions."
"What level is this leader?" Zhang nglong asked.
"My deputy," Anshou said, "Half-Step Divine Cultivator Ninth Grade."
"He won't off first, will he?" Zhang nglong joked, "I'm just a weakling with only Divine Breath Realm strength."
"Hahaha," Anshou laughed, "We assassins are different from those bodyguards. We have principles. And I have a hunch that if I ordered them to attack you, the ones to suffer wouldn't just be Anshou alone."
"Your intuition is spot on!" Zhang nglong laughed, "Well then, let's hope for a pleasant cooperation!"
...
Zhang nglong exited the online system and returned to a high-end hotel on the sixth level.
At this mont, a ssage from the hotel's system ca through with a visitor's information. It was a staff mber from the Black Rock Auction House. The magical scroll he purchased had arrived.
The Black Rock Auction House did one thing particularly well: regardless of whether the item was cheap or expensive, they used the sa thod and packaging appearance for delivery. Only those responsible for packaging and opening knew the contents, maximizing the safety of these items.
Zhang nglong completed the receipt, then returned to his room.
Using the unlocking code provided by the Black Rock Auction House, Zhang nglong opened the spatial storage device. This device was strong enough to withstand attacks below a Ninth Grade Divine Cultivator, but due to its natural origins, small size, and difficulty to lt, its uses were very limited.
The scroll was extrely light, made of a very special material. According to Gou Dan's analysis, even a Ninth Grade Divine Cultivator would find it hard to destroy. It housed the guardian spirits of 1,288 Ninth Grade Divine Cultivators and one spirit that surpassed the Divine Cultivation Realm. As long as it had enough energy, its power could sweep across the entire Skyless Realm!
"This truly is a weapon of massive destruction!" Zhang nglong muttered to himself, "But for now, I still need to go to the bank to withdraw so money. This thing is a money-burner. Without funds, it's just a piece of junk!"
"Boss, there's a killing intent!" The black mist and shadows around Zhang nglong went into alert mode.
"Are you Mr. Gu?" A ghostly voice rose beside Zhang nglong.
"It's fine; it should be soone sent by Anshou," Zhang nglong said.
"Yes, it's ."
A shadow slowly appeared before Zhang nglong, like a pure shadow without features, only an outline. It must be so kind of special skill.
"The 23,949 assassins you ordered in our organization are now in place. We'll hide around. If you have any orders, direct them to . My code na is 'Night Hand.'
"Understood, you may leave." Zhang nglong nodded satisfiedly. Night Hand's power was strong, even approaching that of that woman Yao Yao.
"Let's go, you two accompany to the bank for so cash." Zhang nglong swaggered out of the hotel, "I wonder if the bank even has that much money available today. Who knows, I might just clear it out today!"
