The men had 'abandoned' You Tian Gui and turned to surround Gu Qing Shan.
"You're an evil creature? Wow, who would've thought there would be such a handsome evil creature "
"Little bro, where do you work? Do you need anything? "
"So you're an evil creature, that's great, evil creatures are always full of bad ideas — — - how about you stop working and join us?"
"That's right, we usually collect protection fees from everyone on the street, no one dares to interfere"
"That's right, little bro, when you're going to join the Ominous Demon Tower, big bro will give you a street to manage, you'll be the prettiest guy on the street"
"What's the point of going to the street? You don't need to do this kind of menial work, just bring your big sis and come visit my house every day, I'll make you some good food"
The burly men said enthusiastically.
All of them were around 2 meters tall, so when they surrounded Gu Qing Shan, they completely blocked out the light.
Standing in the darkness, Gu Qing Shan's smile was a bit stiff, but she still couldn't say anything.
"Stop stop stop, don't surround my little bro if you don't have anything to do, he's a proper Hitman" Buttercup loudly called out.
The burly men reluctantly dispersed, but their mouths did not stop.
"Ahaha, so you're an Hitman, I was wondering why you looked so strong"
"You're definitely an expert assassin, young and promising!"
"That's right, bring big bro with you on the next mission, big bro will support you"
"Me too, I'll also go, I guarantee that you won't even need to do anything"
"That's right, as an Hitman, you have to be careful"
"Don't worry, big bro will protect you"
Buttercup couldn't stand it any longer and came to chase them away: "I only wanted to report the situation to the Tower Master, there's no need for all of you to come — — - now that there's nothing else, go back!"
She then told You Tian Gui: "And you, don't come to visit me without any reason next time, I can't accept a visit from your Wraith realm"
Seeing this, You Tian Gui immediately understood that he had poked a hornet's nest and nodded: "Yes, yes, yes, don't worry, I will"
Little Butterfly pushed the group of burly men out one by one:
"Alright, go go go, all of you, go!"
The men smiled, patted Gu Qing Shan's chests, then gave her a thumbs up before reluctantly leaving.
Gu Qing Shan bade farewell to them one by one.
You Tian Gui also hurriedly left — — he practically used the speed at which he was fleeing, streaking across the night sky like a meteor before disappearing without a trace.
The red brick house regained its peace.
Gu Qing Shan wiped the sweat off her forehead.
This group of ferocious devils was too terrifying. He didn't even have the chance to open his mouth to speak.
"Seems like you're doing quite well in the Ominous Demon Tower" Gu Qing Shan sighed emotionally.
Buttercup said with a headache, "Let me clarify, I'm actually just their teacher."
"They're both married?" Gu Qing Shan asked in surprise.
If these people were married and still came to provoke Buttercup, then she couldn't just stand by and watch.
Buttercup appeared a little troubled, but still explained. "That's not it. They are all very special aberrations, and if they want offspring, they can do it themselves. But after I came, according to their own words, they yearn for love."
Gu Qing Shan was silent for a long time.
"This … is a little powerful," he muttered to himself.
It was already dawn, so Gu Qing Shan was about to leave and return to the Hitman Guild.
Buttercup pulled him back and told him:
"This matter has come to an end, you're safe for now. Keep in mind, you need to hurry up and become a Titled Hitman, because there's only one chance, and it's getting closer and closer"
"What kind of chance is it exactly?" Gu Qing Shan curiously asked.
"I can't tell you right now, I've already signed a confidentiality contract, you'll know when the time comes" Buttercup replied.
Gu Qing Shan sighed, then sincerely said: "Alright, I'll do my best"
Buttercup continued: "I heard that the Hitman Guild occasionally has a few large-scale interworld missions, if you manage to encounter one, you definitely need to participate, it's very easy for you to advance"
"Is that so? Alright, I'll note that down, I'll look into it when I get back and accept it "Gu Qing Shan replied.
"That's right" Buttercup nodded, "I really need to put aside the Wraith realm matters for now and focus on becoming a Titled Hitman"
Gu Qing Shan hesitated a bit and didn't say anything else.
Put aside the Wraith realm matters?
No, it's not that simple.
The envoys sent by the Wraith realm to meet the City Lord were completely wiped out as soon as they left the City Lord's manor.
This was the same as slapping the Wraith realm's face in front of the entire Void City.
Due to the lack of evidence and the threat of the ominous demons, You Tian Gui appeared to have retreated, but in reality, he definitely wouldn't give up.
He would continue to investigate in order to catch the culprit.
Having fought against the Wraith realm a few times, Gu Qing Shan understood their style very well.
— — -vengeful.
They wouldn't stop until they reached their goal.
Following this, if the Wraith realm still suspects me, they would definitely act even more discreetly, even more resolutely, and even more unprepared.
Fortunately, I've already passed this obstacle, so I'll have some time to increase my Hitman rank.
… this kind of thing … is not something I need to tell Buttercup.
She's already done her best to help.
The rest is up to me.
Gu Qing Shan thought for a bit, then smiled: "Then I'll be leaving first"
"Hm, go ahead, contact me if you need anything" Buttercup replied. …
At another location.
You Tian Gui flew out of Void City, leapt down from the tall city walls, and walked into a certain secluded forest.
He took out a stick of incense, lit it, and stuck it in front of a large tree.
He respectfully knelt down in front of the tree and spoke in a low voice: "Sir, I've run into a bit of resistance from the Ominous Demon Tower"
A few moments later.
A voice resounded from the tree:
"The Ominous Demon Tower? Why would they be involved? "
You Tian Gui explained what happened.
The tree fell silent.
A few moments later, the voice resounded again:
"Dragon King of Atrocity Jail? What a bold claim, do you think this person might be the culprit? "
You Tian Gui thought for a bit, then replied: "My intuition tells me that it's not him"
The voice asked: "What do you mean?"
You Tian Gui replied: "This person is arrogant, hot-tempered, and easily angered. He would attack at the slightest disagreement, but because he's backed by Die Nu, he acts like he's not afraid of anything"
The voice asked: "Then, you feel that there's no need to investigate him further?"
You Tian Gui paused, then clenched his teeth: "This subordinate feels that if he isn't the culprit, that would naturally be a good thing. But if the culprit truly is him, then he would be a very terrifying enemy"
"What do you mean?"
"A seemingly simple person was able to kill the entire diplomatic group in just a few seconds, then perfectly avoid suspicion, not even giving me a chance to probe him. Such a person would definitely be a great threat to our Wraith realm"
The tree went silent for a few moments, then the voice resounded again: "Your hypothesis is very interesting …"
"How about this, you don't need to worry about this Hitman, perhaps he really isn't the culprit. Go and look for other clues first"
"Understood" You Tian Gui replied.
He didn't ask any further, stood up, slowly retreated, and slowly disappeared.
The forest returned to silence.
A few moments later, the voice resounded again:
"Which one of our hidden pawns in the Hitman Guild?"
Another voice resounded from the void of space: "Sir, the Hitman Guild's pawns have died"
"What happened?"
"Assassination missions always have risks, he just so happened to be countered by an opponent during one of the missions, so he died"
The voice from the tree became stern: "Tsk, didn't you send anyone else? I remember we've agreed that we need to place people in every organization in Void City "
"Sir, 'Poison Bee' had only died a few days ago, so we're currently preparing a new person. His identity and other items are still being prepared, so we haven't made it in time"
This was a reasonable explanation, so the Wraith Lord didn't say anything else.
"Tsk, of all the times he died, he just had to die when we needed to use him — — what about the Bounty Hunter Guild? Are our people still there? "he asked.
A moment of silence.
The voice from before replied: "They are, this one is one of our core pawns. He's very strong, and his position has also been promoted to Titled rank"
The Wraith Lord spoke with satisfaction: "Hm, very well, have him test that 'Dragon King of Atrocity Jail' for me. If you notice anything amiss, immediately kill him — — - after that, I'll allow him to erase his identity and return to the Wraith realm"
"Understood"
