I Treat You as My Sister, But You Want to be My Wife?!
Chapter 343 Ace Killer_1

Chapter 343: Chapter 343 Ace Killer_1

Victor spoke assuredly, "Chris, if it were just the loss of one assassin, I definitely wouldn’t be asking you for this. But now, all my assassins in Dragon Country are gone. If I am to continue this mission, I would need to bring in operatives from other countries into Dragon Country. If you’re not willing to pay more, I’m sorry, but I’m not taking the job. The deposit your employer paid me, I’m not giving it back."

With a heavy voice, Chris said, "Victor, that’s not very becoming of a big shot."

Victor sneered, "I don’t care about appearances. I know my people have suffered heavy losses, and if I’m to proceed with the mission, I need more money."

Chris said with resignation, "How much more?"

Victor laughed, "Add ten million US dollars, and no matter what happens after that, I’ll never ask you for money again, and I will certainly eliminate the target."

Chris asked, "Add ten million, you mean five million upfront?"

Victor shook his head, "No, the additional ten million needs to be paid in one lump sum."

Chris didn’t want to argue further, knowing well that once Victor had said so, no amount of talking would change his mind. He said, "I need to consult with my employer on this."

"Alright, I’ll wait for your news," Victor replied.

Chris put down the phone and dialed Qian Haoming’s number.

Soon, the call connected.

"Chris, what’s the matter at this late hour?" Qian Haoming had just finished a call with his girlfriend Annie and was getting ready for bed.

Annie would be arriving in Dragon Country tomorrow afternoon.

"Mr. Qian, I just received a call from Mr. Victor..." Chris explained the situation and then said, "That’s the way it is, if we want him to continue with the mission, we have to pay an additional ten million in one go."

"No problem," Qian Haoming agreed without much hesitation.

Compared to the money, saving his dad and brother was more important.

As long as Shen Dong could be dealt with, that would suffice.

Once Shen Dong was out of the picture, there would be nothing holding him back.

It would be relatively easy to pull his dad and brother out with his girlfriend Annie’s connections.

"Okay, I’ll relay this to him. You transfer the money directly," Chris said.

"Sure," Qian Haoming hung up the phone, immediately picked up his laptop, logged into online banking, and transferred ten million US dollars to Victor’s account.

Chris also sent a reply to Victor.

Victor checked his account and upon finding the extra ten million US dollars, started to smile, "Chris, your employer has made a wise decision."

With a serious tone, Chris said, "Mr. Victor, I hope you can get rid of the person quickly. I can’t wait too long on my side."

Victor, all jovial, said, "Rest assured, this time I’m dispatching the ace assassin of the Sanctuary. He will certainly take care of the person."

After hanging up, he thought for a moment and decided to send Henry to do the job.

Henry was the ace assassin of the Sanctuary, second in strength only to him and the two deputy leaders of the Sanctuary.

This time, the target must be eliminated.

He dialed Henry’s number.

Soon, the call connected.

"Master," a hoarse voice answered.

"Henry, there’s a job in Dragon Country that requires your expertise," Victor got straight to the point.

"Dragon Country? Don’t we have people in Dragon Country?" Henry asked, puzzled.

"Ah, don’t mention it. I initially assigned it to our people in Dragon Country, but..." Victor recounted the situation.

"Then, this target must be quite troublesome," Henry remarked with a frown.

"Indeed, it’s very tricky, which is why I need you to step in. I trust you; you’ve completed many missions without a single failure," Victor said.

"Dragon Country is dangerous," Henry didn’t immediately agree.

Dangerous indeed.

He was a veteran of the Sanctuary. Before the Sanctuary had established operators in Dragon Country, he had undertaken a mission there.

Although he succeeded in assassinating his target during that mission, it was a narrow escape that nearly cost him his life before he was able to leave Dragon Country.

It could be said that it was the most dangerous mission he had ever undertaken.

After that, he never set foot in Dragon Country again.

This nation was really unfriendly towards those from the dark world.

"Henry, you’ve been talking about retiring, haven’t you? Just complete this mission, and you’ll be able to retire and enjoy life. Moreover, I’ll give you five million US dollars as a commission for this mission; that’s my best offer. What do you say?"

Victor didn’t want to beat around the bush and made his conditions clear.

The offer was very generous indeed.

But it was the retirement part that was extremely tempting for Henry.

Henry had wanted to retire for a long time. Victor had never allowed it, insisting that he continue to work and take on difficult tasks whenever they arose.

He had a clear understanding of this line of work.

Though he had successfully completed so many tasks,

he knew that just one failure could cost him his life.

Thus, after making enough money, he wanted out.

But Victor had never approved it.

Without Victor’s approval, he could not leave.

If he retired without Victor’s consent, there’s no way Victor would let him go.

"Okay, I agree. Send me the details of the target." After a long silence, Henry finally agreed.

For the chance to retire, he was willing to take one more risk.

"That’s great. I’ll send the information right away. I believe you will complete the job and return safely," Victor said with a delighted laugh.

...

The next day.

Shen Dong and Chen Yuyan first went to Shuidilao and instructed the HR manager to interview Yang Fang.

After the interview, the HR manager was pleasantly surprised.

Though Yang Fang wasn’t as outstanding as Fang Jingwei, she was still talented and definitely someone who could enter the management team in the future.

Shen Dong simply decided to have both of them work at a store near the headquarters. They were to start as service staff for six months and then transfer to the headquarters.

Both completed the hiring process and went to work at the store.

Shen Dong and Chen Yuyan then returned to Dongyan Media.

Chen Yuyan went to her office, and Shen Dong took his laptop to the lounge.

He quickly found the information on Zhong Guanglin.

This guy’s apartment was only rented to female tenants.

Because he looked very honest, many female tenants were willing to rent his room.

Zhong Guanglin had harassed female tenants three times in the past, and on one occasion, he had even succeeded.

One tenant reported him to the police, but without evidence, Zhong Guanglin got off scot-free.

As for Zhong Guanglin’s claim that his son was in college and likely to pass the civil service exam, it turned out to be unreliable.

Zhong Guanglin’s son was indeed in college, but it was a very average institution, and he was not academically inclined, spending his days in idle pursuits. He had even been detained for half a month for fighting.

If it weren’t for some connections that Zhong Guanglin pulled and some money he spent, his son could have been in jail for half a year.

Such a person was not likely to pass the civil service exam, let alone get the opportunity to work as a civil servant.

As expected, Zhong Guanglin had made it all up for his own gain.

Having gathered the information, Shen Dong sent it to the lawyer handling the case and then messaged the lawyer.

The rest was up to the lawyer to handle.

The lawyer surely knew what to do. Zhong Guanglin’s past actions were bound to be dug up, and going to jail was inevitable.
