Chapter 191: The King of a.s.sa.s.sins
âWhat do you mean?â Yang Ming was puzzled. âIt is safe in the detention center? What are you thinking? Is it really not safe here?â
âHehe.â Fang Tian smiled mysteriously and said, âKid, you really want to know about what happened and whatâs my background?â
Yang Ming nodded. âYeah, I donât understand. Who are you?â
âKid, I can tell you, but you need to be prepared. Once you know the truth, you must accept one thing. If not, I will kill you.â Fang Tian looked at Yang Ming with a fierce expression.
âAh!â Yang Ming frowned. He knew what Fang Tian was talking about. The incident must be kept a secret, and no one should know about it. But what does Fang Tian want from me? Yang Ming didnât like to be threatened. So, he needed to clarify it to avoid any problems in the future. âWhat do you want me to accept?â
âItâs actually nothing. It will be beneficial for you.â Fang Tian said, âA thing that will allow you to face your opponents in the shadow.â
âWhat do you mean? You want to help me to kill my enemy?â asked Yang Ming.
âNo, itâs better to do it yourself rather than seek help from others. Donât you ever think of facing them by yourself?â asked Fang Tian.
âYou have seen it too. Based on my capabilitiesâŚâ Yang Ming instantly felt discouraged. But he thought of something else too, so he asked with expectation. âIs it that⌠you want to teach meâŚâ
âYouâre right!â Fang Tian nodded his head, âMy requirement is for you to be my apprentice and the successor to my legacy after you know everything!â
After that, Yang Mingâs feeling was so shocked that he was speechless! Fang Tianâs Kung Fu was unfathomable. Yang Ming admired his âpetty skillâ of throwing a knife.
So, Yang Ming was really excited when Fang Tian asked for this! What does it mean? It means I will be stepping on the road of the strong!
This concept was different from Yang Mingâs fighting!
âI agree!â Yang Ming nodded his head without hesitation.
Fang Tian gave a satisfied smile. This result was in Fang Tianâs expectation. He knew Yang Ming so well that he knew Yang Ming wouldnât reject him.
âAlright, I can tell you my real ident.i.ty now.â Fang Tian pointed at the seat beside him and signaled for Yang Ming to sit down and listen.
Yang Ming wouldnât look down on Fang Tian now, but his att.i.tude was careless. He knew Fang Tian wouldnât do any harm to him, so he was free to be himself.
âIn this world, there is a group of special people or a clan. They are called the professional a.s.sa.s.sins.â Fang Tian started at the beginning slowly, âIn those years, I was the international number one killer. They called me the King of a.s.sa.s.sins!â
âThe King of a.s.sa.s.sins!â Yang Ming was surprised.
Fang Tian waved his hand to signal Yang Ming not to interrupt. âMy master was the previous King of a.s.sa.s.sins, and I was the King of a.s.sa.s.sins. Iâm different from other a.s.sa.s.sins. They have a clan, and Iâm just one person. The code name for my masterâs master, my master and I were always the King of a.s.sa.s.sins. So the name, King of a.s.sa.s.sins, is a legend that will never end in the world of a.s.sa.s.sins. But no one else knows my ident.i.ty.â
I concealed my a.s.sa.s.sin ident.i.ty by being a land developer, and it had always been fine. Didnât you ask why I was framed by Hu San and the woman and got myself into the detention center? Hehe, that was all my plan.â
âDid you think I didnât notice their dirty trick? I could kill him in a minute if I intended to do that. But I didnât because I was exposed! Interpol had a lead on me! They had the information that the King of a.s.sa.s.sins was located in Song Jiang City!
âI could kill the agents who searched for me, but I would become an internationally wanted criminal. Besides, I didnât have to kill the agents because they werenât sure if I was located in Song Jiang City.â
âBut I needed a place to hide. I thought the safest places would be the detention center and jail after some consideration. Interpol wouldnât figure out that I would hide there.â
So I stepped right into Hu Sanâs trap and was sent to the detention center. Then, I pretended to be insane for seven years until you helped me out. I was out of the detention center because the danger is gone.
âI have another disciple too. He is Dong Jun who you have met before. But he has a serious congenital heart disease, and therefore, he wasnât suitable to be an a.s.sa.s.sin. He became a great thief after learning my skills. Then, he and I picked you after prolonged observation. We realized that your character and personality met my requirements. So I decided to let you become my successor! Although I would like to tell all these things to you later, it was just a coincidence for todayâs incident. So, I might as well tell you sooner!â
Fang Tian talked about his life experience in one shot. Yang Ming didnât know this was such a twisted story! He didnât expect Dong Jun to be Fang Tianâs disciple.
âI never really expected it to be like this.â Yang Ming sighed. âI think I wasnât helpful since you were living quite well in the detention center.â
âThat might not be the case. Iâm looking for my successor too. Just take it as a test.â Fang Tian said, âDonât ever mention this to anyone, even the person closest to you. Remember, no one else can be trusted except yourself! Dong Jun and I could betray you at any time!â
Yang Ming disagreed with it. He didnât think Lan Ling and Chen Mengyan would betray him. But he still listened to Fang Tianâs advice to not tell anyone. âOkay, I understand.â
âThatâs all for today. Tomorrow come here at 7 p.m. I asked Dong Jun to come too. We will have a ritual for apprentices.h.i.+p. After that, you will become the next King of a.s.sa.s.sins!â Fang Tian said seriously, âCome to my house every night at this time. I will give you special training.â
âAlright, I got it.â Yang Ming nodded his head solemnly. He picked up the photo, cigarette pack and a phone into his pocket. These items were retrieved from the man in black. Yang Ming hoped to get some leads from them.
Fang Tian left after he got Yang Ming into the car. Yang Ming took a deep breath. These few hours were like a lifetime ago. In one moment, he was nearly killed by a man in black. The next moment, he became the âKing of a.s.sa.s.sinsâ! What a contrast!
Yang Ming explained that the dent kicked by the man in black on Pentium trunk was because of a robbery. Zhang Bing was generous so he didnât mind. Instead, he asked how Yang Ming escaped. Yang Ming gave an excuse that he got away by accelerating the car.
The Black Widow Vengeance Company was a low-quality a.s.sa.s.sin company. The a.s.sa.s.sins were some retired mercenaries. The normal businesses were just some low-end revenge projects. It rarely involved killing. After all, the company was formed in the country, so they were afraid of being caught by the police.
Besides, the Black Widows usually targeted ordinary people. They would reject the job if the target was someone formidable. But the Black Widowâs business was still great. After all, the rich guys like to punish their foes this way.
Today, the Black Widows received big business, but the person only wanted them to punish a university student. This was a simple job that needed only one man. The top killer, âOld Grey Wolf,â in the company was free, so he volunteered for this job.
âWhy is Old Grey Wolf so late?â A person asked in the group.
âIt is nearly 11 p.m., why we havenât we gotten any news? It was just a university student. Whatâs going on?â Another a.s.sa.s.sin was pondering too.
âBoss, can you contact Old Grey Wolf? We are still waiting for him to have a drink!â
âRing ringâŚâ Yang Ming heard the phone ring from the writing desk.
His pupils retracted when Yang Ming looked up! He got that phone from the man in black!
