King of Assassins
Chapter 209 - 195 Sudden Situation
CHAPTER 209: CHAPTER 195 SUDDEN SITUATION
"Brother Sheng, Gao Xuan and his group are all staying at the Yuelai Inn. No one has left."
Yuanbao leaned in close to Yuan Ansheng, giving a brief report on the surveillance situation.
Yuanbao wasn’t tall, and his fair, chubby appearance gave a cheerful impression.
However, everyone who knew him was aware that this guy had a smile that hid a dagger and a belly full of deceit. He was also Yuan Ansheng’s trusted advisor, well-beloved by Yuan Ansheng.
"All the information on Gao Xuan and his group has been thoroughly investigated. Gao Xuan is from the White Dragon Mountains, an orphan. He relies solely on Yun Qingshang for survival..."
Yuanbao summarized: "Gao Xuan comes from humble beginnings. But he has a close relationship with Wei Yue of the Yuanlong Company. Xiao Wan, impressed with his Sword Dao talent, introduced him to the Xiao Family."
To be able to kill Han Peng with a single strike at such a young age, Gao Xuan’s talent is truly exceptional. It’s no wonder Xiao Wan admires him.
Yuan Ansheng pondered this, paying even more attention to Gao Xuan. He asked, "What did Xiao Hanshan say?"
The Xiao Family has significant influence within the military across the Twelve Star Domain. Their Yuan Family really can’t contend with them.
Although Gao Xuan is only a peripheral member of the Xiao Family, they would need to give a heads-up to handle him. This is a basic courtesy among noble families.
"Xiao Hanshan said to handle it as we see fit, because Gao Xuan has not passed the evaluation process and is not a member of the Xiao Swordsmanship Association."
Yuanbao handled things properly and had already communicated with Xiao Hanshan.
Yuan Ansheng considered and said, "The old man just said to kill all of them. Is there any problem?"
"The only person from a noble family in the group is Jiang Xuejun. The Jiang Family is a third-tier small family, not worth considering."
Yuanbao indifferently said, "As long as Brother Sheng gives the order, I can handle it perfectly."
"The Yuelai Inn is owned by the Wang Family, is it convenient to act?" Yuan Ansheng was still a little hesitant, as the Wang and Yuan Families hold equivalent status. Avenging revenge is one thing, no need to offend the Wang Family.
Yuanbao sighed internally, his own son was killed, and Yuan Ansheng still worried about such trivial matters.
His cautious nature is understandable, yet the old master does not admire this eldest son much. In contrast, Yuan Hao is ruthless and shows potential.
However, Yuan Ansheng is naturally of this temperament and has lived a life of luxury since childhood without experiencing brutal battles. He’s skilled in scheming but much lacking in decisiveness.
The saying "too cunning, yet indecisive" perfectly describes Yuan Ansheng.
Yuanbao silently complained but showed no sign on his face, "Brother Sheng, we’re doing this to avenge Yuan Hao. The Wang Family will understand."
"Wei Yue is also on that floor, and she has close ties with the Yan Family. Do you have any plans for her?" Yuan Ansheng asked.
"If Wei Yue foolishly makes a move, then kill her too."
Yuanbao said sternly, "Brother Sheng, this isn’t just about Yuan Hao; it also concerns the reputation of our Yuan Family. Anyone who stands in our way will be killed."
"Hmm."
Yuan Ansheng pondered and nodded.
He still had some reservations about the Blood Shadow, this infamous super assassin, rumored to have even killed Ye Qianqiu, the Black Dragon Association’s leader.
However, Yuanbao is right. This isn’t just about Yuan Hao; it concerns the Yuan Family’s face. Everyone is watching, and there can’t be any hesitation or weakness.
Yuan Ansheng murmured to himself, "I hope they have the sense not to cause trouble."
Yuanbao’s white chubby face cracked a sinister grin: "I actually hope Wei Yue makes a move, so we can deal with her and her daughter together."
The Skywalker Gene Potion is quite excellent, removing the Wei Family and seizing the Yuanlong Group in the process seems reasonable, even the Yan Family couldn’t object.
Yuan Ansheng slightly frowned; he disliked unexpected developments.
There are too many interests in this world. No matter how powerful the Yuan Family is, they can’t grab everything.
The unspoken rules between noble families are the order that protects the interests of all noble families.
People like Yuanbao are just greedy, wanting to take every advantage they see. In fact, that’s impossible.
By adhering to the rules, peace and prosperity can be ensured, leading to a noble family lasting a thousand years.
Families that don’t follow the rules have long vanished in the river of history, leaving not even a trace of their bones.
Yuan Ansheng was about to speak when his wrist buzzed slightly; someone wanted to connect with him.
He glanced at the number on the virtual screen; it was an unfamiliar number.
However, his personal light computer immediately provided the answer: the call was from Wei Yue.
He thought for a moment before connecting, and Wei Yue’s figure appeared on the screen.
Wei Yue was wearing a very formal bluish-grey dress, looking quite mature. Even so, her radiant features combined beauty, elegance, and refinement, with a rare youthful vigor for her age.
Yuan Ansheng felt a slight amazement; he had seen many beauties, but few as feminine as Wei Yue.
Suppressing the small ripple in his heart, he courteously asked, "Ms. Wei, what do you want to discuss with me?"
Through the screen, Wei Yue could see the coffin behind Yuan Ansheng and clearly noticed his somewhat disheveled appearance.
She could tell that this man was genuinely grieving, which unexpectedly evoked a bit of sympathy in her.
As a parent, she could understand Yuan Ansheng’s feelings.
However, things still needed to be handled.
Unlike Yuan Ansheng, Wei Yue’s emotions never compromised her rationality.
In fact, she was well aware that this situation carried enormous risk. If mismanaged, it could spell doom for both her and the Wei Family.
But the path pointed out by Blood Shadow, she had no way to refuse.
From Blood Shadow’s actions, it was clear that this person was very strategic. Making her do this was definitely not a whim.
For this, Blood Shadow even forcibly pushed her to Level 10. It can be seen how seriously Blood Shadow took this matter.
Wei Yue knew very well that following Blood Shadow was the only way to survive. If she tried to act on her own without listening, Blood Shadow would eliminate her before anyone else could.
Moreover, without Blood Shadow, she would have been dead long ago. So, no matter how dangerous this path seemed, she had to walk it.
"Mr. Yuan, I understand your current feelings. The death of your son is a tragedy. I deeply regret it and express my sincere condolences."
After a few polite words, Wei Yue quickly got to the point, "However, this was completely an accident. Mr. Yuan, given your status, why bother with a child."
Yuan Ansheng’s face was already a bit twisted; he didn’t expect Wei Yue to really dare to plead for Gao Xuan.
He was truly angry. Didn’t Wei Yue know her own station? How could it be her place to intercede in such matters?
He really didn’t want to waste words with the other party, "Wei Yue, you have no right to say these things to me. Don’t make me angry, or your entire Wei Family will follow to the grave."
Seeing Yuan Ansheng’s eyes almost spitting fire, Wei Yue became even calmer.
After advancing to Level 10, her Spiritual Power surged. The most direct result was the ability to control her emotions and a strong confidence in her own Power.
The rage-driven Yuan Ansheng did not scare her. Instead, it made her see the fragility within Yuan Ansheng.
As the first heir to the Yuan Family’s patriarch, this Yuan Ansheng’s emotional control ability was weak, and he was quite sensitive. His Source Power Cultivation was only about Level 8.
For such a huge Noble Family as the Yuan Family, having such cultivation as the first heir seemed too weak.
A patriarch doesn’t need to fight; theoretically, having brains is enough.
In fact, in the world of Source Power, poor cultivation means weakness in all aspects.
Willpower, energy, physical fitness, combat power, even wisdom, are all influenced by Source Power.
Yuan Ansheng’s weak cultivation made it actually hard for him to display a strong stance externally.
Just like now, the two sides were communicating remotely through the network, and Yuan Ansheng’s performance was somewhat inadequate.
Seeing through Yuan Ansheng, Wei Yue became even more composed and said calmly, "Mr. Yuan, it wouldn’t hurt to discuss this matter with your father."
Wei Yue nodded at Yuan Ansheng and closed the communication.
Yuan Ansheng was stupefied, what did Wei Yue mean, even suggesting he consult his dad?
How dare little Wei Yue be so audacious?
Yuan Ansheng couldn’t understand it, he told Yuanbao beside him, "Wei Yue just contacted me, asking me to spare Gao Xuan."
Yuanbao was shocked: "She’s crazy!"
What Yuanlong Group, what Wei Family, in Zhongjing, they couldn’t even make it to the stage.
If it weren’t for someone attempting to assassinate Wei Yue, causing some slight commotion, and embarrassing the Yan Family, nobody would even know who Wei Yue was.
Now Wei Yue actually dared to come forward as a mediator, she was really crazy!
At this point, Yuan Ansheng calmed down, he turned to the side room to contact his father, Yuan Zu Zheng.
Sitting in the car, Yuan Zu Zheng held a pipe in one hand, squinting a bit, puffing away, looking quite complacent.
Beside Yuan Zu Zheng were two exceptionally beautiful young women.
Yuan Zu Zheng, over a hundred years old, was notorious for his lecherousness. He also liked to mix aphrodisiac herbs from the Outer Star Realm into his tobacco.
Fortunately, he was a Level 10 expert, with abundant Source Power and strong Spiritual Power. Aging organs could be replaced at any time.
Therefore, Yuan Zu Zheng was still able to spread his seeds daily, continually propagating the Yuan Family genetics.
Receiving the communication, Yuan Zu Zheng was a bit impatient: "What’s up?"
Yuan Ansheng held great respect for his father, and he honestly told him about Wei Yue’s situation.
"You—,"
Yuan Zu Zheng was amused with anger, "Do you still need to tell me about such matters?"
He disdainfully said, "Such a clueless woman, go catch her, and I’ll teach her how to be a bitch."
"Daring to interfere with the Yuan Family’s affairs, is this woman an idiot!"
Yuan Zu Zheng had a tough character, detesting those who challenged the Yuan Family’s authority.
Wei Yue’s actions had already angered him, and he didn’t care who Wei Yue was or who was behind her.
Yuan Ansheng hesitated and reminded, "Dad, there’s a super-assassin, Blood Shadow, behind Wei Yue."
"What assassin, all of them are our dogs."
Yuan Zu Zheng sneered at his son’s caution, "Such creatures, easily wiped out!"
While Yuan Zu Zheng was reprimanding his son, a bright, sharp blood-red blade light shot directly from between his eyebrows.
The dazzling blood-red blade light ended all of Yuan Zu Zheng’s actions. Following this, Yuan Zu Zheng exploded into a mist of blood under the surging Sword Qi.
Opposite the light screen in conversation, Yuan Ansheng was instantly dumbfounded!
His heart was trembling: "What, what’s going on?"
