Ding!
“You have a new message!”
Somewhere in Huaxia, a middle-aged man picked up his phone. He looked normal, just like any other white-collar worker.
He unlocked his phone and was stunned when he read the message.
“One, two, three… Oh my god, two hundred million Merrican dollars!”
He cried out in surprise.
He had not seen a bounty of two hundred million Merrican dollars for a long time. The typical hitjob would have a bounty of several hundred thousand yuan. The most he had seen before was ten million.
Two hundred million Merrican dollars would have driven anyone crazy.
He could imagine the shockwave that was spreading throughout the entire assassin world. Even the most notorious figures would be tempted by the huge sum!
He was also curious. What kind of person would carry a two hundred million dollar price tag?
He continued scrolling and saw a photograph.
He was surprised when he saw the face of the target.
‘This… this is just a teenager, right? He can’t be older than nineteen!”
He furrowed his brows as he continued to stare at the photograph.
‘He looks quite handsome too. His face is clean and delicate.
‘He doesn’t look like a bad guy, and he’s too young. Maybe he’s the son of some wealthy family?’ He thought.
He continued scrolling down and was once again stunned. He could not believe his eyes.
‘What the hell? This kid is born in a mountain village? His ancestors have all been peasant farmers?
‘And… someone placed a two hundred million Merrican dollar bounty on his head?
‘This… This is too wasteful!’
He stood there and could not say anything for a long time.
“Is there a need to? Did the kid cross someone important?” He mumbled.
He continued scrolling. After reading through the kid’s entire profile, he understood that the kid was not as normal as he thought. He was a rising star in the business world, and he probably crossed someone he should not have.
“Looks like you’re out of luck, kid!”
As he looked at the photo, his expression changed between mockery and pity.
The bounty of two hundred million Merrican dollars was enough to mobilize the entire assassin world. No one would be able to resist it.
Two hundred million!
That would be an assassin’s final job. That money would be enough to last one until they died of old age.
Furthermore, the target was a normal kid. He did not look like some mobster leader or political elite. Those people would have bodyguards, and the kid did not. It was too easy.
“No, I’ll have to move out now and score the hit. I want the money!”
He quickly packed his briefcase, got in his car, and started driving toward Province Z.
That situation happened not only in Huaxia but also throughout the world.
The bounty had shocked the entire assassin world.
Countless assassins from Huaxia, Dongying, Nanyang, Merrica, and even Hindustan and the various countries of Europe saw the bounty notice. They all packed their suitcases and departed for Province Z of Huaxia.
Each flight to Huaxia carried assassins from all walks of life.
Not only did they have differing nationalities, but they also came in different shapes, sizes, and ages. The oldest among them were in their seventies, and the youngest were teenagers. A big portion of them were female assassins.
The mysterious figures on the assassin ranking chart were also set into action. Every one of them departed for Huaxia.
Something big was about to happen. Meanwhile, Tang Hao was oblivious to all that.
He went to university for classes the next morning.
He talked to Teacher Jiang. There was no news from her grandfather yet. Meanwhile, she had no way of contacting her grandfather, so all they could do was wait.
Tang Hao had been anticipating Song Linfei to make his move since that morning.
He would imagine that Song Linfei would act on his company first, considering the amount of financial and political power that Song Corporation wielded. They would be able to exert immense pressure on Haotian Co. Ltd.
He waited with bated breath the entire morning but nothing happened.
That made him quite frustrated and a little confused.
Knowing Song Linfei’s tendency to act on an impulse, he would not be sitting back and plotting Tang Hao’s demise in secret.
When his classes ended at noon, he received a call from Liu Bingyao.
“Hey, Tang Hao! Are you free this afternoon?” Liu Bingyao’s sweet voice was heard on the phone.
“Yup!” Tang Hao hesitated for a while before agreeing.
“That’s good!” Liu Bingyao sounded excited. “Then… Can you go out with me this afternoon? I want to watch a movie too, it’s been a while since I went to the cinema.”
Tang Hao smiled. He could imagine how excited she must be.
Ever since Liu Jiawei’s incident, she rarely went out, and only with the people she trusted.
“Any nice movies recently?” Tang Hao asked. He had not been following up with entertainment news.
“Hmm, let’s see, there’s so many! What type of movie do you like: Sci-fi? Action? Comedy? Or indie?” Liu Bingyao said.
“Never mind about indie movies, I can’t appreciate those. How about you?”
“Me? Anything is fine. How about… a comedy? I want to watch something fun,” Liu Bingyao said.
“Alright!” Tang Hao said.
After the call ended, Tang Hao excused himself from Cao Fei and the rest, saying that he had some other business to attend to.
He went to the female dormitory, waited there for half an hour before Liu Bingyao showed up.
She was changing clothes in her room earlier.
It was already springtime and the weather was getting warmer. She wore a simple white dress which made her seem otherworldly. Tang Hao was stunned.
The ends of her dress waved in the wind as she casually walked over. Her beauty was breathtaking, as though she was a fairy descended from the heavens.
The aura she carried was unlike the seductive charm of Qin Xiangyi, nor was she pure and innocent as Shi Yan’er. It was an aura unique to Liu Bingyao.
“Let’s go!” She said chirpily when she walked in front of Tang Hao.
She wore light make-up on her impeccable face. She must have spent a lot of time on that.
She wore earring pendants in the shape of four-leaf clovers on her ears. They shimmered under the sunlight.
She also wore a string of red crystal beads on each of her delicate wrists, which was a stark contrast with her fair skin. One of the beads on her right wrist was especially eye-catching. It was as red as blood, and it was the blood jade bead that Tang Hao had given her.
She blushed when she noticed that Tang Hao was staring at her wrist. “Let’s go!” She said again.
“Oh!” Tang Hao came to his senses and started walking with her.
The people around them were not surprised. Everyone in the university knew the rumor that the beauty queen had a boyfriend. Instead, they ogled at Liu Bingyao’s body.
The two people strolled toward the entrance of the university.
