Upon hearing the old man’s words, the assassins present didn’t show any emotions like anger. They were all seasoned in life and death.
"Hmm? What’s your color designation?"
"Silva."
A long-haired burly man standing next to the old man reported his na and fell silent.
"Zeno."
The old man also spoke up.
"What color is Zeno?"
"It’s not a color, those are just our real nas."
"What?"
The assassins were visibly surprised, as revealing one’s real na was extrely dangerous for an assassin.
"Don’t expect to order us around; I’ll do things my own way."
Silva’s tone was calm. He seed sowhat dissatisfied with the Ten Old n’s approach. After having already hired him and his son, the Ten Old n went on to hire other assassins, which was considered quite unprincipled in their field. While others might not understand this, the gangs certainly did.
"Zeno, Silva... Zoldyck Family?!"
An assassin recalled these two nas, showing an expression of awe. The Zoldyck Family was an icon in the assassin world.
"If there’s anyone you want dead, contact us. No need to be polite, I’ll offer you a 30% discount as fellow professionals."
Zeno had a smile on his face, while the other assassins looked shocked.
"This... is a bit."
An assassin chuckled bitterly; compared to the Zoldyck Family, they were small fries.
"Since it’s already settled, then...."
Just as Cheap Ji began to speak, the door opened, and Su Xiao walked into the room.
"Sir, you’re here."
Cheap Ji’s expression beca visibly uneasy; he had personally witnessed Su Xiao slice Sick Dog’s throat.
"Wrong floor."
Su Xiao found a chair and sat down. Cheap Ji was sowhat surprised, and Black Mary’s face blushed because, unfamiliar with the layout and the large size of the new auction venue, they naturally went the wrong way. In the end, it was Bubu Wang’s sense of sll that led them here.
"Back to the point, Cheap Ji, did you explain the goal to them?"
"I explained it, and we’ve already formulated a corresponding plan."
"A plan?"
Su Xiao turned his head to look at Cheap Ji. Formulating a plan for assassins who were unfamiliar with each other was undoubtedly foolish. Letting them act independently was the only way to maximize their combat strength.
"As the Ten Old n previously..."
"Don’t worry about them, let them hide quietly in the suburbs and wait for death."
Cold sweat broke out on Cheap Ji’s forehead as he listened; responding to such words was beyond him.
The assassins exchanged glances, their thoughts basically revolved around, who is this guy? Isn’t he a subordinate of the Ten Old n?
Silva and Zeno looked at Su Xiao with interest. The two exchanged a glance, realizing things were not as simple as they seed.
"Gentlen, your objectives are very unified, it’s all about money. As for the previous plans, disregard them. From now on, any suspicious individuals in this building can be attacked; it doesn’t matter if they are killed. Try to use your keen ’sense of sll’ as assassins."
Upon hearing this, the assassins in the room were secretly pleased. What they feared most was ddling by their employer.
"Any thod is allowed?"
Zeno looked at Su Xiao, unsure of Su Xiao’s position within the Ten Old n’s power.
"Yes, if you find suspicious, you can attack now too."
"Heh." Zeno chuckled lightly. "Now we can be at ease, provided you can represent the Ten Old n."
"In a way, I am in a cooperative relationship with the Ten Old n."
Having confird the target and action thod, the assassins got up, needing to first familiarize themselves with the building’s layout.
As the other assassins left, Zeno and Silva, the father and son duo, did not leave.
"I heard you killed four mbers of the Travel Group. Have you fought with their leader?"
This ti it was Silva who spoke; he had fought with the Travel Group leader before.
"Not yet, but soon. If you guys can beat him half to death, it would be best."
Seeing the two from the Zoldyck Family appear, Su Xiao had already sentenced the Ten Old n to death, not because he wanted to kill them himself.
If Su Xiao wasn’t wrong, once the Travel Group Leader got wind of the Ten Old n hiring the Zoldyck Family, he would also hire the Zoldyck Family to kill the Ten Old n and would even hire three people. These three might go to kill the Ten Old n tonight.
Among the three, Su Xiao could handle two. The last one, however, was completely out of his league. With Su Xiao’s current strength, facing that person ant certain death.
That person was nad Maha Zoldyck, a thin and emaciated old man who looked like an alien.
It must be said, the people of the Zoldyck family tend to have longer lifespans. Their genealogy is: Great-great-grandfather Maha Zoldyck, great-grandfather Zeno Zoldyck, grandfather Silva Zoldyck, and the little silver-haired boy Killua Zoldyck in the younger generation.
Not to ntion Maha Zoldyck’s strength, his age alone is already astounding. As for strength, the Hunter Guild’s President Netero is the only person known to have fought Maha Zoldyck and still be alive.
Chairman Netero’s strength is indisputable. Whether he or Maha Zoldyck is stronger is unknown, but Su Xiao is clear about one thing: facing either of them is currently beyond him.
Thus, the fate of the Ten Old n is up to chance; dying for twenty Soul Crystals isn’t worth it. Moreover, he already has other arrangents. Among the Ten Old n, one is destined to survive unless the Zoldyck Family goes mad and seeks their own destruction.
...
At seven in the evening, only two hours remain before the auction begins.
In reality, very few guests ca to the auction. These people had only arrived in Yukexin City recently and were unaware of prior events. Most of the people present in the auction venue were gang mbers who ca to fill the ranks.
On the surface, the atmosphere of the auction seed lively, with many guests, but it was actually hiding a fatal aura.
Currently, Su Xiao was inside the surveillance room on the eighth floor of the auction venue building. Over a dozen staff mbers were busy, and dozens of monitors were tracking movents around and within the auction venue.
"This cara angle, rewind."
Su Xiao pointed to a monitor, and a young staff mber imdiately queued up that segnt of surveillance, rewinding and slowing it down.
The screen showed several gang mbers, who seed ordinary and without any abnormalities.
"Zoom in."
The image was zood in, still showing no apparent anomalies, at least in the opinion of the staff.
"Have they arrived yet."
Su Xiao recognized a mber of the Travel Group among the gang mbers; the person’s na was Feitan, Travel Group mber number 5, an Enhancer with the Telekinesis Ability.
Picking up the unique communication device of the Hunter World by his side.
"The person has arrived, prepare to welco the ’guest’."
Su Xiao continued to monitor the display, constantly tracking the blond-haired man Feitan within the gang mbers. Feitan mingled with the gang mbers with a natural expression. Oddly, he didn’t have any intention of infiltrating the auction. Several tis, he had the opportunity, yet he continued wandering around the vicinity of the auction venue.
Noticing this scene, Su Xiao narrowed his eyes, detecting a scent of conspiracy. However, his experiences in multiple Derivative Worlds indicated that intelligence battles weren’t his forte, and he didn’t intend to outsmart Chrollo.
