Chapter 1148: Infiltrate into the Charles Family
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
” Hehe , no need. I know that for this kind of thing it will be very difficult for you to appear personally. Although you are very prestigious in Europe, the assassin family is still very troublesome!” Yang Ming whispered. He didn’t want Old Buffon to be troubled. After all, the assassin family was unlike the average family. They were not too concerned with a family like Old Buffon’s, so they generally minded their own business. It was just like when Yang Ming interacted with the Butterfly Family. They were a transcendental existence. They would not bow down to anyone; they would not obey the command of anyone.
After listening to Yang Ming’s words, Old Buffon was a little embarrassed. Indeed, when he said that sentence, he still had a little uneasiness with a hint of overstepping.
Just because it was Yang Ming’s matter, Old Buffon forced himself to stick his neck out. Now, he was relieved knowing that Yang Ming did not need his help. “Master, why are you looking for this assassin family?”
” En , it’s just a little thing. They looked for trouble with a family member of mine, so I have to go trouble them first.” Yang Ming said with ease, “You just have to tell me the address.”
” Ah ?” Old Buffon was surprised to hear that. Is Yang Ming going to trouble the assassin family? Moreover, it sounded so easy? But, thinking of Yang Ming’s performance, it is not strange. Master is a martial arts master. What can those families do?
“Master, I will send someone to make a map for you!” As Old Buffon said, he summoned his butler and commanded him to go to the study to make a map.
“Yang Ming, what the hell is going on?” Wang Xiaoyan looked at Yang Ming, baffled. She didn’t know why Yang Ming suddenly went to trouble the Charles Family.
“Things are hard to say, but I can tell you briefly while Old Buffon is drawing the map.” Yang Ming did not hide. “Zhou Jiajia’s father is the butler of the Charles Family… You didn’t expect it, right?”
” Ah ? Zhou Jiajia’s father is the butler of the Charles family?” Wang Xiaoyan was very surprised after hearing Yang Ming’s words. She didn’t expect the two to be connected. “Is Zhou Jiajia’s father having trouble?”
“You are smart!” Yang Ming nodded and said with compliments. “Things are like this. I dunno why Charles actually has a crush on Zhou Jiajia. Moreover, he knew that Zhou Jiajia’s father, Zhou Tianxiang, is their family butler. He just let his father, Charles, to propose marriage. Zhou Tianxiang did not agree, so Old Charles threatened to fire him. But, Zhou Tianxiang heard some hidden meaning from Old Charles’ words. Probably after he left this time, Old Charles will not let him go. After all, he knows too much about the secrets of the Charles Family!”
“That is true. If he retired smoothly and steadily, the Charles Family might not do anything, but now the two sides are in open conflict. It is already an unknown whether Old Charles will do something bad against Zhou Tianxiang. “Wang Xiaoyan nodded and said.
“So I have to go and get this thing resolved,” said Yang Ming.
“You are confident to have Old Charles let go of Zhou Tianxiang?” Wang Xiaoyan wondered why the Old Charles would listen to Yang Ming.
” Hehe , he is also an assassin. He naturally knows how terrifying an assassin is. If he wants to make a move on Zhou Tianxiang, then, he will live in the shadow of my assassination for the rest of his life unless he locks himself in his room and doesn’t come out. But then, he has to worry about whether or not the house will collapse…” Yang Ming nodded and said sinisterly.
After Wang Xiaoyan heard this, she felt a sudden chill. Yang Ming was too ruthless. He would let his opponent taste his own medicine. However, it was not arrogant for Yang Ming to say this. At the very least, the assassins from Wang Xiaoyan’s family were not as strong as Yang Ming in her opinion.
Therefore, if Old Charles knew Yang Ming’s strength, he probably would not lay his hand on Zhou Tianxiang. Moreover, Yang Ming was also an assassin. With that, Old Charles could rest assured that Zhou Tianxiang would not reveal anything.
After all, it was easier to negotiate with people on the same level.
“Do you need me to go with you?” Wang Xiaoyan asked.
“No need. If I go alone and the negotiation fails, I can guarantee that I can retreat. But if you go, I will need to take care of you. Old Charles’ family is different from the general places. There are definitely a few masters there. Yang Ming waved his hand and said.
“Well, pay attention to safety. I wish you success!” Wang Xiaoyan was not an unreasonable person. She knew that the matter was of great importance. She would not easily add trouble to Yang Ming, so when she heard Yang Ming say this, she nodded and agreed.
“Do not worry, hehe .” Yang Ming smiled indifferently and caressed Wang Xiaoyan’s hair.
“Stop it; there are others. Don’t always be touchy.” Wang Xiaoyan turned red and complained.
Old Buffon quickly got the map to the Charles Family. What Yang Ming admired was that the map was actually drawn in the GPS navigator. This made Yang Ming admire Old Buffon’s man’s efficiency in doing things.
Logically, this place should be a large blank area that was neither displayed nor marked on the navigator map. Old Buffon’s man actually created the map and route of the area in such a short amount of time. This was a very remarkable thing.
After Yang Ming took the navigator, he no longer delayed the time. He drove an off-road vehicle that Old Buffon had prepared for him and proceeded to the Charles Family castle following the route marked by the navigator.
Although Yang Ming had not been here, and he wasn’t familiar with the European route, the journey was not difficult with the navigation device. It was just that he would violate the traffic rules occasionally as he was not familiar with this area. However, the tickets from the cameras would be sent to Old Buffon’s company. Old Buffon would not care about these things at all.
Yang Ming was now in Europe, and the Charles Family’s castle was only three hours away from the home of Old Buffon’s Family. This made Yang Ming feel that it was a little coincidental.
If the Charles Family were too far away, Yang Ming couldn’t drive. He would need to take Old Buffon’s private helicopter.
But this was also inevitable. If the Charles family were not nearby, Old Charles would not meet Charles in the city’s teahouse, so Yang Ming was so sure that it could be resolved before the evening.
Soon, as he headed out of the city, the car was driven onto a winding road. According to the instructions of the navigator, it was not far from the Charles Family’s castle.
“Who is it?! Please get out for inspection immediately!” When he was a certain distance from the Charles family, Yang Ming was stopped by several black-shirted men. Obviously, these were definitely the men of the Charles Family. They were here to block unfamiliar people from getting in.
Yang Ming stopped the car and smiled as he got off. He asked somewhat curiously, “What’s wrong? Is there a toll station here?”
Yang Ming spoke standard English. He seemed like a tourist to the area.
“This is not a tourist location. This is a private territory. Please leave this place immediately.” When the black-shirted man noticed Yang Ming wearing a tourist outfit and had the tone of a visitor, he breathed a sigh of relief and spoke to him.
“But the scenery here is magnificent. Can you let me take a photo?” Yang Ming asked hesitantly.
“That can’t be done. We have regulations here. We don’t allow anyone to enter.” The black-shirted man waved his hand. He had met visitors like Yang Ming before. On the contrary, they could meet a few of them within a month. So, he had become accustomed to it.
In particular, Yang Ming had an Oriental face, which made them more relaxed, because the more Yang Ming appeared so, the more Yang Ming looked like a visitor.
” Ai , that’s a bit of a pity!” Yang Ming said helplessly. When he said this, he shook his head and turned to return to the car. However, just a moment when Yang Ming turned, he turned back again abruptly. He quickly gave a hand-chop at the necks of each of the four black-shirted men. The four men fell silently to the ground.
These four people were also considered to be masters. Otherwise, Old Charles couldn’t let them patrol on the first level, but they had no defense against Yang Ming. Yang Ming’s speed was too fast as well. Just within a moment, they had suffered under Yang Ming’s hand.
Although Yang Ming was not afraid of confronting them face to face, it was time-consuming to confront them. If the movement was too big, Yang Ming was afraid to attract the attention of the next patrol.
Therefore, Yang Ming chose this silent solution. After the four men fell, Yang Ming struck the sleep acupoint on everyone’s body to prevent them from waking up for a while.
After doing all this, Yang Ming dragged the three into the bushes as a cover, then he took off one of the person’s coats and put it on his body. Then, he got a windbreaker from the trunk and put it on the black-shirted man.
Yang Ming threw him on the back seat of his car. Then, he got in the car and instantly disguised himself into a black-shirted man with his special ability.
Yang Ming started the car and headed for the Charles Family’s castle. Sure enough, Yang Ming had guessed correctly that a lookout post was located not far away.
Yang Ming stopped the car as someone from the lookout post gestured, then he extended his head out of the window.
“Zaicos, how come it is you?” The black-shirted man clearly recognized the appearance which Yang Ming had disguised into as he spoke in Italian.
“It’s me. I caught a sneaky guy. I am about to report to the master!” Yang Ming also replied to him in Italian, then he pointed to the unlucky guy in the back seat.
” Oh , that’s the case. Then you should quickly go ahead!” The black-shirted man waved his hand and let Yang Ming drive away.
At the subsequent lookout posts, Yang Ming used the same method and passed by easily without getting blocked. This made Yang Ming feel very invigorated. The development of this special ability was really thanks to the little girl, Su Ya. Otherwise, he still wouldn’t know.
The car was parked and hidden behind a pile of boulders not far from the castle. Yang Ming got off, but his appearance at the moment had turned into Zhou Tianxiang.
Yang Ming had met Zhou Tianxiang in Song Jiang, so he also knew what he looked like. After Yang Ming changed his disguise, he took off the black-shirted man’s coat, put on his original jacket, and then walked directly into the castle.
At the gate of the castle, the guards here just wanted to stop him. Just as they caught sight of him, the person who came in was the family butler, Zhou Tianxiang. Even though they were baffled as to when Butler Zhou left the castle, they still greeted respectfully and politely, “Butler Zhou! Hello!”
Yang Ming nodded and didn’t say much, then he went straight into the castle.
What happened to Zhou Tianxiang was limited to the castle’s owner, Charles, and Zhou Tianxiang, so the rest of the people in the castle did not know about it.
The real Zhou Tianxiang was now in his room, so the appearance of Yang Ming – the fake Zhou Tianxiang – did not attract much attention since it was impossible to have a clash with the real Zhou Tianxiang.
Yang Ming walked into the castle directly and shouted at a servant.
Zhou Tianxiang was the direct leader of these servants, so the servant who was called quickly went in fear and trepidation and asked carefully, “Butler Zhou, is there anything wrong?”
“Have you seen the Master?” asked Yang Ming.
“Master? Isn’t Master always in his room?” The servant was stunned, and he replied quickly.
“Which room is he in?” Yang Ming asked indifferently. Generally, people like Old Charles had a lot of rooms, such as the study, bedroom, etc…
“During the day, Master is in the study the whole while, right? It is the innermost room upstairs!” The servant was baffled, but he did not dare to question and replied truthfully.
” En .” Zhou Tianxiang nodded and said, “Okay, then you go and do your things.”
“Yes, Butler Zhou!” After the servant responded, he went on to continue his work. How would he dared to bother with Butler Zhou’s matter!?
Yang Ming quickly found Old Charles’s location. He could not help but shake his head. The management inside the castle is too lax, right? There is no vigilance at all?
What Yang Ming did not know was that his appearance was a special case. Except for Yang Ming, who else could pretend to be Zhou Tianxiang? Yang Ming showed up in the castle with the appearance of Zhou Tianxiang, so of course, no one would doubt anything.
Yang Ming went upstairs as the servant said. He went to the room door where Charles was located and knocked on the door.
“Please come in!” There was an old man’s voice. What made Yang Ming somewhat surprised was that he actually spoke Chinese which was the same Chinese as Little Charles. However, as Yang Ming recalled that Old Charles was an Asian, then it was not surprising that he spoke Chinese.
Yang Ming pushed the room door and went in. Of course, at the moment he entered, he restored his own face.
Old Charles had no defense at all. After all, ordinary people could not come into his castle. He was now staring at a set of data on the computer.
Beforehand, his son, Little Charles, had mentioned the Black Butterfly Assassin Group to him. Old Charles did some research when he came back. His Charles family was the third-ranked assassin group in the world, so he had a higher authority level on the assassin platform. He directly checked on the Black Butterfly Assassin Group’s recent mission.
They only had one mission, but this single mission was enough to cause a sensation in the assassin world! The mission was to assassinate the leader of an armed force in a war-torn country in North Africa. They actually dared to accept this mission, and they actually completed it?
This stunned Old Charles. For such a mission, he did not even dare to take it! If worst comes to worst, he won’t earn any commission, but if he had to suffer a double loss, his own people would die here.
The initial stage of this mission was actually designated to the “King of Assassins” to complete, which amused Old Charles somewhat. The King of Assassins had retired from the underworld for several years; how could he come out to pick up this mission? However, why would this mission be taken by the Black Butterfly Assassin Group while the other side was assured that a newly established assassin group without any fame could undertake this task? It made Old Charles very curious.
Old Charles was also a person who knew the inside news of the King of Assassins. He knew how powerful the King of Assassins was, so it was a bit weird for the one giving the bounty to designate the King of Assassins to finish the mission and then switch it to the Black Butterfly Assassin Group to complete it!
The previous designation had already declared the difficulty of this task. Those who were not the King of Assassins were not competent enough for the mission, but the designation later was a bit of a child’s play! It was not a playhouse where one could find another assassin group if the mission failed!
Once the assassination failed, the other party would be alerted. The second assassination would not be so easy! So, at the moment, Old Charles was really interested in the Black Butterfly Assassin Group!
Could it be that Wang Xiaoyan is really the heir of the family clan? T his is the only reasonable explanation of why the Black Butterfly Assassin Group can get such a difficult mission .
According to the theory of ranking, because the King of Assassins did not undertake this mission for a certain amount of time, then the one putting out the bounty would find the Butterfly Family which was one rank lower than the King of Assassins to undertake this task. There was nothing wrong with this mission falling into Wang Xiaoyan’s hands.
However, would Old Man Wang let his only daughter do such a dangerous mission? No matter how Charles thought about it, he felt something was wrong! Moreover, Old Charles knew that he had no suitable underling to complete this mission. Even the Butterfly Family that was stronger than Old Charles’ overall strength would probably have some difficulty to complete this mission. How could he transfer this mission to his daughter?
Is this mission actually done by the Butterfly Family, but they just announced it that it is completed by the Black Butterfly Assassin Group so that they can spread the Black Butterfly Assassin Group’s fame?
So what is this for? What is the use of the Black Butterfly Assassin Group’s fame? Old Charles became more and more confused, but he could not help but continue to ponder upon it. After all, the impact of this significant change in the assassin world would affect the Charles Family…
