In the night, within the city of Qinghe County, there stood a luxurious mansion that occupied more than a mile of land.
A large number of guards, who looked rough and tough, were patrolling around the mansion. Inside the mansion, there were still teams of guards, making the security extremely tight! The owner of this mansion, Cui Jinpeng, was the kingpin of the entire underground world of Qinghe County, controlling all sorts of dark and dirty affairs. He was also a loyal dog of the Si family!
Many people wanted to take his place, to become the kingpin of the underground world, so killings and struggles were frequent.
"Huff."
"Huff."
The servants inside the mansion were breathing very softly, suppressing their breaths. When they could no longer hold it, they would slowly take a breath, and many of them had sweat on their backs.
Because tonight, their master had already killed twelve servants!
"Damn."
"Damn, damn, damn." In the luxurious hall, Cui Jinpeng, dressed in a golden robe, was pacing back and forth, his eyes filled with endless rage.
Everyone else in the hall had retreated and were waiting outside.
"Hu'er, Hu'er." Cui Jinpeng's heart was trembling.
He was cruel, he was mad.
He was born in a poor slum, his mother was a prostitute, and he had no father! His mother didn't care about his life or death, and he grew up like a stray dog, crawling step by step to the top, treading on the blood and bodies of countless people. In this dark world, he rose to a very high position and even gained the favor of the uncrowned king of the entire Qinghe County, Si Lianghong.
Walking in the darkness for countless years, he was known for his countless evil deeds! But the one he loved the most was still his only son. He prepared everything for his son, and if his son wanted beautiful women, he, as a father, would personally arrange to capture them and give them to his son. Because of his excessive indulgence, or perhaps his lack of skill in teaching his son, his son became increasingly arrogant.
He could hardly protect him anymore, so he sent him to the army to be trained! But he never expected...
That he would actually die?
"Hu'er, my Hu'er, you're dead, how can I live on..." Cui Jinpeng was in tears, this mad underground tyrant was now in deep sorrow.
"I want them dead."
"I want them to be buried with you, the Dongbo family of Snow Eagle Manor! That damned Dongbo Qing Shi, and his brother Dongbo Xue Ying, and everyone in the entire castle, I want them all to be buried with you!" Cui Jinpeng's eyes were filled with endless madness, "I want them to be buried with you!"
"Brother."
A man rushed in from outside, his face and body covered in hair, with a pair of green eyes. He was a werewolf, clearly a member of the wolf clan, and he was the second-in-command of their gang, a powerful Silver Moon Knight.
His brother was called 'Mad Dog' by some enemies, and he was called 'Wild Wolf.'
"Brother, just say the word, and we'll go and kill them." The werewolf growled fiercely.
"Do we have a chance if we go and kill them? No!" Cui Jinpeng's face was fierce, "Didn't you hear the news? Hu'er and Old Zhao were killed by a magic scroll! A spell that even a Meteor Knight couldn't withstand, killing them instantly, it must have been a fifth-level spell. Dongbo Xue Ying is likely a Silver Moon Knight, and he's in his castle. We only have three Silver Moon-level members in our gang. Do we have a chance to wipe them out? That's their stronghold!"
"What should we do then?" The werewolf was anxious.
"Reward!" Cui Jinpeng's face was cold, "Blood Blade Tavern!"
"Blood Blade Tavern?" The werewolf was surprised.
The Blood Blade Tavern was an ancient and enduring force, its existence almost as old as the history of the entire plane.
Issuing a bounty there, the reward is set by the Blood Blade Tavern! And the Blood Blade Tavern takes eighty percent of the reward, leaving only twenty percent for the actual bounty hunter. So the prices are usually very high.
"The price will be very, very high." The werewolf couldn't help but say.
"I want them dead, I want the entire Dongbo family to die! As long as they die, I'll spare no expense." Cui Jinpeng gritted his teeth, "This news was passed to me through the imperial army. I must act quickly, or Dongbo Xue Ying might find out it was my son and strike first."
"Understood." The werewolf nodded.
They were in the underground world, and they knew the principle of striking first.
"Order it, the news of my son's death must not leak. All the servants who know the news must be locked up." Cui Jinpeng said coldly, "Wait until the entire Dongbo family is dead before releasing them! I'm leaving now for the Blood Blade Tavern!"
Since they were taking action, they couldn't give the other side any chance to fight back!
...
Night, Blood Blade Tavern.
This was a bustling tavern, where many adventurers and other people who lived on the edge of danger mingled. Even the nobility wouldn't dare to act recklessly here. Because the people here were all living on the edge, who cared about your status? If you killed someone, they would immediately flee, and many killers wandered from place to place, making it very difficult to trace their identities.
"Upstairs."
The tavern had a side door that could only be accessed by those issuing or accepting tasks.
Cui Jinpeng, wrapped in a black robe, showed a Blood Blade Token. It was known that not just anyone could issue or accept tasks! Either you needed a Blood Blade Token, or a Black Iron Token or Bronze Token issued by Long Mountain Tower, which were all proof of strength and identity.
On the second floor of the tavern.
It was very quiet, with only a few people, each hiding their identity or wearing masks. Clearly, very few killers were willing to reveal their identities. Like the strongest person in Qinghe County, Xiang Pangyun, who was very showy, but Xiang Pangyun was extremely powerful. If he wanted to establish a family, he might even shake the position of the Si family in Qinghe County.
"I want to issue a bounty." Cui Jinpeng entered a room and sat down, with a purple-robed woman sitting opposite him.
"Please proceed." The purple-robed woman smiled.
"I want to kill the Dongbo family of Snow Eagle Manor in Yishui City. I want the entire Snowstone Castle of the Dongbo family to be wiped out! Especially Dongbo Qing Shi and Dongbo Xue Ying, they must die." Cui Jinpeng's voice carried a murderous intent.
"Understood, please wait, we need to calculate the reward." The purple-robed woman said.
Killing?
Even killing extraordinary beings, the Blood Blade Tavern would still take the job.
As long as you could pay the price!
"Hmph." Cui Jinpeng forced himself to wait, his eyes flashing with murderous intent. He couldn't bear to wait any longer and wanted to quickly eliminate the entire Dongbo family to avenge his son.
At this moment, the purple-robed woman looked at the crystal ball in her hand, which displayed some text.
The purple-robed woman nodded slightly and then said, "To wipe out the Dongbo family in Yishui City, it will cost three million gold coins!"
"Three million??" Cui Jinpeng stood up abruptly, "Why is it so high? This, this, this is crazy. Dongbo Xue Ying is just a Silver Moon Knight, and it costs three million gold coins to wipe out a family like this? Even if the Blood Blade Tavern takes eighty percent, the remaining twenty percent is still six hundred thousand gold coins. Does it really take that much to wipe out their family? What kind of killer needs such a price?"
The Blood Blade Tavern's pricing was very strict.
Although the information about Dongbo Xue Ying from Long Mountain Tower was confidential, the Blood Blade Tavern had gathered information that he had killed a Silver Moon Wolf King and a Shadow Leopard at the age of fifteen! Killing the Shadow Leopard was a secret, but it was gradually sold off, and the Blood Blade Tavern and Long Mountain Tower could still trace it. The Blood Blade Tavern believed that Dongbo Xue Ying was likely a Silver Moon Knight at the age of fifteen!
And he had spent over five hundred thousand gold coins recently! To spend so lavishly, he must have had several million gold coins.
The Blood Blade Tavern believed... Dongbo Xue Ying had a thirty percent chance of already being a Title Knight!
So they set this price, and if it was confirmed to be one hundred percent, the price would double!
"This, this..." Cui Jinpeng couldn't believe it. The price was too high. The wealth of a typical Title Knight's family was probably only two to three million gold coins! That is, a typical Title Knight would have to go bankrupt to pay. Although Cui Jinpeng was the leader of the underground world, he still had the Si family above him. He had saved for many years and only had about one million gold coins.
"Our price at the Blood Blade Tavern is non-negotiable. If you can't pay, please leave." The purple-robed woman said calmly.
