"Mr. Cheng, we meet again."
Cheng Shanshui, who was anxiously waiting for the result, heard someone greet him. He looked up and saw a man standing in front of him. It was a hitman who had rejected a mission. His code name was Larson, and he was an official Scorpion-level hitman.
"Ah, it's you. What's the matter?"
Larson said calmly, "I'm free recently. I can accept your mission."
Cheng Shanshui's eyes lit up, then dimmed. He smiled bitterly and said, "I'm sorry, but my mission has been taken by someone else."
Once a contract was established, it could not be changed. This was the rule of the Blood Pact Society.
Hearing this, Larson was slightly disappointed.
He was from Maple. This time, he came to Hesla to visit a friend and travel. He did not want to do any missions. When Cheng Shanshui came to him, Larson saw that the reward was too little and rejected it.
However, after a few days of idling, Larson was itching to do some simple missions. He immediately remembered that he had rejected Cheng Shanshui, so he came to look for him. He did not expect that in just one day, someone else would beat him to it.
Although Larson was depressed, he knew that he could not break the rules. He had no choice but to walk away and order a drink.
After two sips, his phone suddenly rang. He looked at the caller ID. It was one of his old clients, Yue Youzhu.
"Hello, Larson." A man's voice came from the other end of the phone.
"It's me. What's the matter, Mr. Yue?" Larson said casually.
"I have a mission for you."
Larson's eyes lit up. "Tell me about it."
"I want you to help me get rid of a person."
"Who?"
"I've sent the information to you."
This was a private mission, so it would not be confidential.
Larson took out his tablet and looked at Cheng Shanshui. That was the target of the mission!
"What do you think?" Yue Youzhu asked. The sound of a group of people coming down the stairs came from the phone.
"I'll take it," Larson said calmly.
"Okay, I'll ask someone to transfer the advance payment to …"
"Bang!"
Suddenly, the sound of someone falling to the ground could be heard from the other end of the line, followed by the faint sound of a gunshot. Larson's body stiffened. He could tell that it was the sound of a sniper rifle, followed by a group of panicked people shouting. Yue Youzhu did not speak again, and Larson immediately understood that Yue Youzhu had been killed.
"He only fired one shot and killed more than a dozen bodyguards. What a powerful sniper." Larson's expression froze as he figured out the crux of the matter. Most likely, Cheng Shanshui's request was to assassinate Yue Youzhu, and both sides were enemies.
"Cheng Shanshui is waiting for someone. We'll see who the killer is in a while." Larson's eyes flashed.
…
Through the information provided by Cheng Shanshui, Han Xiao found a tall building a few hundred meters away from Yue Youzhu's stronghold and aimed from above. Initially, he wanted to snipe Yue Youzhu from the window. But when he saw Yue Youzhu walking out of the door, it was more convenient for him to take action.
Yue Youzhu had more than a dozen bodyguards surrounding him, but to Han Xiao, they were nothing.
The [Shuttle-Shaped Penetrating Bullet] that he had just created was extremely powerful against non-metallic targets. The bullet pierced through the body of a bodyguard and accurately hit Yue Youzhu's heart.
It was a fatal shot.
Assassinating an ordinary person was too easy for him. There were no unexpected twists and turns, which made him very disappointed.
The commotion here would attract the police. Han Xiao had already used the Face Simulator to change his appearance and slipped away easily. No one would be able to track him down afterwards. It was simply a godly escape tool.
…
When he returned to the 23rd floor of Hotel Victoria, the restless Cheng Shanshui immediately stood up with a nervous expression.
"It's done."
Cheng Shanshui relaxed and looked at his watch subconsciously. From the time Han Xiao left until now, it had only been 45 minutes. Excluding the travel time, the actual killing took less than 10 minutes.
Too fast!
"Pay up."
"Uh, okay, okay." Cheng Shanshui was in awe. He took out a briefcase with 100,000 yuan and passed it to Han Xiao.
[Assassination Request (Cheng Shanshui)] completed. You have received 25,000 EXP.
Cheng Shanshui left with light footsteps as if a heavy burden had been lifted off her shoulders.
Han Xiao pressed the bell on the table and called the waiter. He was about to continue accepting the bounty from Rose Militant when he suddenly sensed something. He turned around.
Is someone looking at me?
Beside the bar counter, a man was sizing him up. Han Xiao did not know who this man was, but it was obvious that he was looking at him with a hint of provocation.
Han Xiao squinted his eyes. He had no scruples now, and he did not want to be looked at with hostility. Hence, he gathered his momentum and threw a cold stare at the man, conveying a simple message that could be used anywhere in the world.
What are you looking at?
Larson's body stiffened. He felt that he was being targeted by a terrifying hostility. A strong sense of danger surged in his heart. He quickly retracted his gaze, and the sense of danger suddenly disappeared.
In just a few seconds, cold sweat appeared on Larson's forehead.
What a dangerous aura. This guy is not to be messed with!
Larson quickly dispelled some of his thoughts. He quickly paid the bill and left. He did not want to stay a moment longer.
…
"We meet again."
Han Xiao smiled at the waiter.
This was the first time the waiter had seen a new member become an official member so quickly. He was shocked and said, "You have officially become a Scorpion-level assassin. You will be able to receive higher treatment. You will be able to receive basic VIP treatment in the Victoria Hotel in other cities."
Han Xiao suddenly asked, "What is my ranking on the Dark Net Assassin List?"
The waiter said helplessly, "Only the most powerful assassins can be ranked at the top of the list. Your current ranking is at least in the top 1,000."
As he said that, he turned on his PDA and showed the list to Han Xiao.
After glancing at it, Han Xiao nodded silently. At this time, the top ten assassins on the list were around Level 40 on average. Their strength was not considered top-notch. Only the top three assassins were more terrifying. Their level was close to the upper limit of Version 1.0. The Assassin List looked at mission resumes and achievements. For players, they had to complete missions to be ranked on the list. There was also the Mercenary List next door. It was the same principle.
Blue Star's combat level was not high. During the early days of the open beta, it was difficult for players to meet an expert above Level 40. Those Level 50 and Level 60 experts were the top combat power of Blue Star. They were basically leaders of large forces, hidden secret weapons, reclusive loners, or criminals who committed crimes. Normally, they would not appear in front of the public (or players), forming another circle of experts.
Only by completing missions or becoming stronger would one have the chance to meet them …
These thoughts flashed past his mind. Han Xiao opened the Bounty List and pointed at one of the bounties. He said, "I would like to accept the bounty from Rose Militant."
"Okay, the commission is being processed. Please wait a moment."
The waiter wrote on the paper and tore off the page. He rolled it up and put it into a special metal cylinder. He went behind the counter and inserted the cylinder into a circular metal pipe. The opening of the pipe fit perfectly with the diameter of the cylinder.
With a puff, the cylinder was sucked into the pipe.
The cylinder traveled through the pipe at high speed. It passed through many junctions and flashed past other cylinders. Not long after, the cylinder reached a new exit.
This was a spacious room, and the layout was similar to a customer service telephone reception room. There were rows of tables, and each table had a few computers. The office staff sat in front of the computers to process documents, and there was a cylindrical tube beside the table.
An office worker in black pulled out a slip of paper from the cylinder. His fingers tapped on the keyboard, and he quickly entered the contents on the computer.
"Bounty Target: Rose Militant (Armed Organization)"
"Requirement: Eliminate the target."

…
"Mission Update: Rose Militant has 80 to 120 members. There are four superhumans. Leader Luo Qing (Esper), Instructor Dorothy (Pugilist), Instructor Ghost Fox (Pugilist), Unknown (Suspected to be a Mechanic). Active area in Somar Desert."
"Authorizing … authorizing approved."
"Mission record updated."

…
At the same time, Han Xiao triggered a new mission.
You have triggered the C-rank mission [Bounty Hunter (Rose Militant)]!
