"We'd better hear so good news, or else our Annihilation Association will just be a joke."
Sima Lindong said with a sullen face. He really didn't want to hear any more about how the elders in his family praised Ye Hao. It was tireso to listen to. Moreover, he felt very uncomfortable because his grandfather said he was overestimating himself by trying to oppose Ye Hao.
Because of this, he was furious, determined to kill Ye Hao.
Of course! Even if his grandfather hadn't said so, he still wanted to kill Ye Hao. However, killing Ye Hao by himself was a bit of a struggle due to his limited capabilities and authority. In Yanjing, he could eat, drink, and play as he wished, as long as he didn't cross certain lines.
But seeking soone to kill Ye Hao was beyond his capability. After all, Ye Hao was no ordinary person. To find soone to assassinate him would definitely require a high-level assassin.
Hiring a high-level assassin would, of course, involve considerable expense.
"Rest assured, you'll receive good news," Tong Dawei said confidently, feeling more and more pleased. As long as Ye Hao was dead, he would be content.
"Heh, Dawei, you have only one such expert in your family?" Though National Martial Arts at the twelfth level was strong, Li Mingri from the Li Family had seen experts beyond that level, so he wanted to see just how deep the Tong Family's resources were.
"Of course not, it's just that my uncle is in Yanjing on so business, so I asked him to deal with it. I'm not afraid to boast about the Tong Family's experts. They are all skilled fighters, and once they take action, the target is invariably eliminated," Tong Dawei said confidently, his arrogance causing Tang Hao to frown secretly.
"Tong Dawei, your uncle better succeed, or don't bla for not warning you. My Uncle Hong was requested by you to attack that beast. If Ye Hao doesn't die, think about how you're going to repay this debt!" Bai Lin particularly disliked Tong Dawei's boasting; it was simply too exaggerated.
"Mr. Bai, rest assured..." Tong Dawei wanted to continue bragging, but just then, soone barged in.
The intruder was entirely dressed in black, with a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth.
This person was none other than Tong Liu, whom Tong Dawei had hired to kill Ye Hao, a National Martial Arts twelfth-level expert.
"Uncle Tong? What's happened to you?" Tong Dawei promptly stood up to support Tong Liu and asked.
"Dawei, Uncle Liu can't help you anymore." After speaking, Tong Liu sat powerlessly on the sofa, with blood continuously oozing from the corner of his mouth.
"Uncle Tong, tell us, what happened?" Tong Dawei asked anxiously.
Tang Hao, Bai Lin, and the others all looked at Tong Liu. What kind of attack had he encountered? He was in such a miserable state, with his body seemingly bruised in many places.
"Dawei, let him rest. Go get so supplies for the dicine," Tang Hao frowned and said to Tong Dawei. This Tong Dawei was too focused on his objective, caring little for his uncle's life or death and only wanting to know what had happened.
"Okay!" Tong Dawei, anxious, couldn't think of what to do, only following what others told him for the mont.
After Tong Dawei had applied dicine to Tong Liu, Tong Liu felt a bit more comfortable and finally said, "Dawei, it's not that Uncle Liu doesn't want to help you, it's just that the opposition was too strong. Moreover, that kid's skills were beyond expectations, and there were two Innate experts nearby. I had no choice but to retreat temporarily, but unfortunately, I encountered an even more formidable opponent..."
"What? A more formidable opponent?" Everyone looked at Tong Liu, what could be more formidable?
"As I was retreating from the scene, an Innate expert was pursuing . If I hadn't been familiar with the surroundings, I would surely have been captured," Tong Liu explained.
"Who is this more formidable opponent you ntioned?" Tang Hao asked.
"Mr. Tang, it was like this..." Tong Liu recalled for a mont and trembled slightly as he did so, showing how deeply his encounter had unsettled him.
Everyone held their breath, waiting for Tong Liu to continue.
"After I shook off the Innate expert who was pursuing , I t an even stronger Innate expert. She was definitely at the Innate level, though I don't know how powerful she truly was. I lightly brushed against her sleeve, and she unleashed a palm strike. Under her strike, I had nowhere to hide. I didn't even have the courage to block it," Tong Liu recounted with lingering fear.
"Could experts really be so commonplace?" Tang Hao said incredulously, thinking Tong Liu was making excuses because he was injured by Ye Hao's people.
"I know you won't believe saying this. I saw she was a girl wearing a Peking University uniform. Her hair was smooth, with an oval face, and her gaze was cold, as if everything was devoid of emotion in her eyes..."
"Enough," Tang Hao waved to stop Tong Liu from saying more, as this had nothing to do with the assassination of Ye Hao. Even if such a woman existed, so what?
"Mr. Tang, I'm telling the truth," Tong Liu defended himself, fearing others would think he was injured by Ye Hao's people.
"Alright, go take a rest first," Tang Hao instructed Tong Dawei to help Tong Liu into a room to rest, then sat on the sofa frowning.
After a long silence, Tang Hao frowned and asked, "I didn't expect our first attack on him to fail. Was our intelligence insufficient, or was it the strength of our people lacking?"
"Neither," Sima Lindong replied.
"Yes, our intelligence was clear, and our strength formidable. The only thing lacking was finding experts to restrain the people around him," Bai Lin said.
Among them, Bai Lin knew Ye Hao best because Bai Lin had hired assassins to kill Ye Hao more than once or twice. The first ti, he hired Zhou Kang from the Dark Angel Assassin Organization which failed, the second ti his butler Li Hong hired the Kongtong Sect and failed. The third ti Tong Dawei hired Li Hong also failed, the fourth ti...
These repeated failures made Bai Lin realize that the people around Ye Hao created too much of an obstacle for them, making it impossible to succeed.
"I noticed that too. Every ti he shows up, there are always experts around him, just like last ti with Uncle Sima. If it wasn't for soone near him, how could Uncle Sima have been defeated?" Sima Lindong said, deeply agreeing.
"Now that you ntion it, I recall that kid always has the support of the Ye Family, no matter where he goes. Even when my uncle went to the Ye Family to cause trouble, the Ye Family not only refused to hear him out but also humiliated them," Hou Zhong recalled how his uncle went to the Ye Family for his third brother Hou Zhi but ended up being sent away humiliated.
"Overall, it shows that our planning was insufficient. Next ti, we must eliminate them," Tang Hao said with a sullen face. (To be continued.
