Pick Up a Killer as Girlfriend Chapter 1076 1076: Asserting Authority

"Hello, Sect Leader..."

"Ling Wu. Have you killed Ren Ying?"

"I'm sorry, Sect Leader, I haven't had the chance to make a move yet."

"No chance? What nonsense are you talking about? You're a woman, in bed, how many chances do you need?"

"......"

"Have you fallen for him?"

"No, Sect Leader."

"Then what's the reason?"

"I... he hasn't been with yet..."

"You're a woman, and you can't handle even this little thing?"

"Sorry, Sect Leader."

"Sorry? You... you're not falling in love with Ren Ying, are you?"

"No, absolutely nothing like that. It's just that he's a bit peculiar, and I usually can't figure out what he's thinking."

"As long as you haven't, that's best. Think of your parents, think of your brother..."

"I understand..."

"So, what's Ren Ying up to lately?"

"Reporting to the Sect Leader. Ren Ying broke up with probably because he's already aware of the assassination order. Before that, Li San was ambushed by assassins, and then he broke up with —it's definitely related."

"Oh? He reacted that quickly?"

"Yes, now they've all gathered at the Ren Family's place and are busy installing a lot of things. I tried to approach today, but they noticed —I still don't know what's going on inside."

"I never thought Li Kuo would be so formidable... Send back their exact location. For now, stay in the Capital City and await orders. Okay, that's it."

"Yes."

After hanging up, Lingze fell into brief contemplation.

"Lingze, what news from there?" Uncle Zhong asked softly as he saw Lingze hang up the phone.

"The assassination order just ca out, and they imdiately gathered together. Are they trying to band together to resist the assassination order? Ha, laughable, utterly foolish."

"What's going on? Our assassination order domain shouldn't have leaked that quickly. The other side couldn't have detected it so soon, even if Li San was ambushed—they shouldn't have thought of the assassination order that quickly," Uncle Zhong imdiately wondered.

"It seems like our attempt to cover up backfired, and we startled them prematurely," Lingze said with a faint smile. Judging by his deanor, he didn't seem to take the matter to heart.

"What do you an?" Uncle Zhong looked at Lingze with confusion.

"To let assassins worldwide know the assassination order had resud, I specifically instructed the M Country to post the consul's task on the old assassination order webpage. With Li Kuo's tech skills, it's not a problem to find out. Just received word that the first wave of the assassination order mission failed, inevitably because the Yanhuang Soul people have arrived."

"But even so, they couldn't possibly deduce from such limited data that we've left their nas in the assassination order, right?" Uncle Zhong continued to ask.

"That's likely due to an issue with M Country."

"Hmm?"

"In M Country, the Los Angeles Mutant Research Center recently had a breach incident. Up to now, they still haven't discovered who it was. If it wasn't us, then it must be people from Huaxia. And it's M Country's own fault—the idiots exposed such an important central control computer to outsiders. Now, not only has the mutant location been exposed, but our cooperative domain might also be discovered by the opposite side. This explains why Ren Ying suddenly broke up with that woman and why Li Kuo, Han Shengjun, and the others suddenly gathered together."

The analysis was flawless.

Lingze sat there, not leaving the room, yet he was fully aware of the situation. His powerful cognitive abilities had not diminished over the years; if anything, they had increased.

"Then, Sect Leader, what are our plans for the next step?" Uncle Zhong kept asking. In fact, with Lingze around, his only role was to follow orders.

Unlike when working under Zhu Fan, Uncle Zhong often questioned Zhu Fan's decisions. Though Zhu Fan had successes, he ultimately ended as a failure. Now, beside Lingze, Uncle Zhong suddenly found that this young man's judgnt was unprecedentedly accurate, leaving him little room to worry.

"Continue the assassination order, but since they've already detected it, there's no point in targeting those around them. However, since they've chosen not to hide within Yanhuang Soul and instead converge in the city, it's a sign of their disdain for the assassination order. If they dare defy the assassination order as soon as it cos out, then they'll need a taste of its power, or they might think it's a joke."

"You an establish authority, Sect Leader?"

"Exactly. Let's start with the Ren Family... Inform the M Country side to add another three million US dollars to each of their bounties. Also, tell Ling Si to take people to storm the Ren Family tonight. I want to see how strong Ren Zhongtian's residence really is..."

"Yes."

After Red Butterfly's demise, the reputation of the assassination order plumted. Later, with Muto's death and the base's fall, the assassination order hadn't been ntioned since.

Now, with Lingze taking the sect leader position, in less than a year, he had expanded the base to its current state.

Not to ntion many experts returned, and as the scale grew, it once again garnered attention from Japan's high-level managent...

Everything awaited the opportune mont, and for the assassination order to reach new heights, it must first establish prestige at the outset.

In those days, the assassination order struck fear into many top experts; many were driven by money to fight fiercely.

An assassination order fueled the entire base's economy, attracting a huge influx of assassins, elevating Lingze's position higher than ever.

Uncle Zhong obeyed the order and imdiately went to make preparations.

anwhile, Lingze fell into thought once more... Now, the only thing he couldn't figure out was who could have infiltrated such a tightly-guarded mutant research base without any warning?

If it were Li San's group, it's difficult but not impossible. But they're all in Huaxia now, so who could it be?

This person must have so connection with Li San and the others, which is why Li Kuo received the information so swiftly.

If it were that person, then everything makes sense. Could it really be him?

A chilling wind rose, and the night grew darker.

At this mont, assassins hidden in Huaxia's shadows were stirring restlessly.

"Hey, it's Ling Si. Just received word from the base. Notify everyone that at exactly midnight tonight, we will raid the Ren Family. Rember, no hot weapons allowed. Huaxia's control over them is extrely tight. We can't leave any traces for the other side."

"Understood, I'll inform the others imdiately."
