The Fastest Way to Solve the Problem
Lin Shen narrowed his eyes at the message on the brief.
If he had guessed right, this should be the bounty targeted at him.
Without hesitation, Lin Shen pointed at the message and said to the bartender in a deep voice,
“I want to see the details of this mission!”
The bartender nced up.
“1,000 spirit coins!”
Lin Shen secretly clicked his tongue. Looking at the mission content alone would cost him 1,000 spirit coins. What a lucrative business!
After paying 1,000 spirit coins, the bartender searched under the bar for a while and quickly handed him a document.
Lin Shen took it and had a look.
As expected, it was his information.
This included his year and ss at the academy, his home address, his background, and detailed information about his strength.
Even his part-time job at Calm Sun Martial Arts School was listed.
Other than that, there was also a full-length photo of him.
Judging from the background, it was taken secretly when he was on his way home from martial arts school.
Only then did Lin Shen understand why Old Wu knew that someone had posted an order in Lurking Snake to assassinate him.
However, what puzzled him was one had to pay to browse through this information. Old Wu had no money, so how did he see this information?
Had he also epted missions from Lurking Snake?
Lin Shen nced at Old Wu, who was not far away. Thetter was secretly sizing up the dazzling array of wine in the wine cab while swallowing from time to time.
“Weird guy.”
Lin Shen stopped looking at him and returned his attention to the information in his hand.
“Unfortunately, this information is outdated.”
If someone really had epted this mission to assassinate Lin Shen, they would realize they had to face a Qi Transformation Stage Level Seven cultivator who had mastered the zing Sun Palm!
Not just one, but four!
Even so, Lin Shen wouldn’t let others ept this mission.
If the person who epted the mission was a Long Breath Stage cultivator, he would be in big trouble.
Lin Shen wouldn’t take chances on matters that concerned his life.
“I’ll ept this mission!”
The bartender finally stopped wiping his ss and nced at Lin Shen expressionlessly.
“The deposit is 30,000!”
Lin Shen pretended to take money out of his pocket, but in fact, he took out 30,000 spirit coins from his storage jade te and ced them on the bar.
While the bartender was counting, he pretended to ask casually,
“Is your information on the target urate?”
“The information is provided by the client. If there’s any mistake, we’ll deduct half of the client’s deposit aspensation for the person taking the order!” The bartender said without looking up.
Of course, there was one more thing he didn’t say.
If the assassin who epted the mission died because of the wrong information, the deposit would naturally be Lurking Snake’s.
Lin Shen also saw it. He couldn’t help but sigh inwardly. No matter which world or industry it was, money always ruled.
“How do I get paid for killing the target?”
“Provide us with the target’s corpse or head, or use a photographic stone to record the entire assassination process. After verifying with the client that there are no mistakes, we will give the reward to you on the spot!”
“What if the client dies in the course of my mission?”
“The mission will be canceled, and the deposit will be returned. We’ll pay you another 30% of your mission deposit aspensation!”
Lin Shen nodded and left with the file.
After walking out of the alley, Old Wu chuckled.
“How was that? I didn’t lie to you, right? This news is worth 500 spirit coins, isn’t it?”
Lin Shen nced at him with a faint smile.
“It’s worth it, but if I see you taking things for free again, what are you going to use to exchange for my help?”
Old Wu’s smile froze. He cleared his throat and smiled awkwardly.
“I’ve been short of money recently. I’m usually aw-abiding citizen.”
Lin Shen smiled without saying anything.
If the people on the ck street were good citizens, that would be the biggest joke.
Seeing that Lin Shen didn’t believe him, Old Wu pretended to sigh and turned to leave. He seemed rather disappointed from behind.
“Why is there no basic trust between people…”
He gradually disappeared into the night.
Lin Shen couldn’t help butugh.
To call Old Wu a fool was underestimating him.
...
At the very least, a real fool wouldn’t know bone mapping, nor would he suppress his curiosity. This whole time, Old Wu never asked Lin Shen why he had epted the mission to assassinate himself and how he nned to deal with it.
However, Old Wu wasn’t a smart person.
No smart person would be a freeload on the ck street all the time.
All in all, he was a very strange and mysterious guy.
Shaking his head, Lin Shen temporarily put the matter of Old Wu to the back of his mind and turned to think about the mission.
Naturally, he had epted the mission to assassinate himself to prevent other assassins from epting it.
As long as someone epted a mission, no one else could interfere until the time limit of the mission ended.
At least for the next ten days, Lin Shen didn’t have to worry about assassinsing to his door to harm him.
As for how to deal with the mission…
To be honest, Lin Shen had thought about using his clone to pretend to be the target toplete this mission.
He coulde up with an incident of assassinating the “target”, record the process with a photographic stone, and hand it to Lurking Snake. He would be able toplete the mission and receive 300,000 spirit coins as his reward.
...
After the clone materialized, it was identical to him in both appearance and cultivation level. No matter how powerful the people of Lurking Snake were, they couldn’t tell the two apart.
However, after thinking about it carefully, Lin Shen rejected this tempting idea.
When submitting the mission, the people from Lurking Snake couldn’t tell if it was the real target.
However, when the person who issued the mission saw Lin Shen was still alive and kicking, they would definitely question Lurking Snake.
When that happened, Lurking Snake couldn’t find the person who epted the mission, so they would definitely focus their investigation on Lin Shen.
Once this mysterious assassin agency got involved in the investigation, his secret clones would very probably get exposed.
Although the huge sum of 300,000 spirit coins was very tempting, it wasn’t as important as the secret of his clones.
Lin Shen didn’t want to cause unnecessary trouble.
He had his clones with him. Even without 300,000 spirit coins, he could quickly increase his strength. There was no need to take such a meaningless risk.
Moreover, he had a better solution than faking his own death.
What was the faster solution to solve a problem?
There was only one answer, and that was to get rid of the person who raised the question!
As long as the client who issued the mission was killed within the 10-day limit, the mission would naturally be canceled.
As for the client…
A faint light shed in Lin Shen’s eyes.
He usually lived in seclusion. Other than attending sses and his part-time job, he spent almost all his time cultivating. He didn’t interact with any unnecessary people, let alone make enemies.
The only person who had a conflict with him recently was Zhou Zhihai!
However, Lin Shen didn’t expect Zhou Zhihai to be so narrow-minded.
It was just an ordinary conflict, but Zhou Zhihai would hire assassins to kill him!
If he hadn’t found out about the mission from Old Wu by chance, he would have been in big trouble!
Lin Shen’s eyes flickered for a moment before he quickly made up his mind.
Since Zhou Zhihai was so ruthless, Lin Shen decided to return the favor in the same manner!
