Chapter 763: Friend, Goodbye

"Trouble?"

"Yes, trouble, so he recently started killing people crazily. I don't know the specific situation too well."

"Tell me about it."

"Money."

"Account number."

"CH..."

Su Xiao hung up the phone and transferred money to an account through his mobile

The phone was dialed again, and Maggie Calami began to introduce the situation regarding Sea Scorpion; Sea Scorpion was the nickname for Haidong.

"Sea Scorpion's son is dead?!"

Su Xiao's masseter muscles bulged.

"Yes, the current Sea Scorpion is... a crazy person. As long as it involves anyone related to his son's death, he leaves no one alive."

Maggie Calami let out a breath. She knew that just a moment ago, one of her feet had already stepped into the coffin; fortunately, she reacted quickly.

"Where is he now?"

"In the country where you are, ** City."

"And then?"

"I don't know the more specific address."

Maggie Calami's awkward laughter came through.

"You give me this kind of information for two million? And in US dollars at that."

"One hour."

Maggie Calami hung up the phone. It didn't take an hour; Maggie Calami only made Su Xiao wait for more than 40 minutes before calling back.

"Sea Scorpion appeared in the city district where you are six hours ago, near Guangming Road. That's all the intelligence."

"That's enough."

Su Xiao had already guessed Haidong's goal. Guangming Road was the street where he had opened a jewelry store. Haidong knew Su Xiao had opened a jewelry store there, so he was clearly looking for him. Unfortunately, Su Xiao was still inside Reincarnation Paradise at that time.

Hailing a taxi, Su Xiao returned to the jewelry store. When Fatty Ma saw him in front of the store, he was somewhat surprised.

"Finished with your business? That efficient?"

"Not finished yet."

Su Xiao checked in front of the jewelry store. After a short while, he found an old-fashioned mobile phone in the gap next to the rolling shutter door. The biggest advantage of this thing was its long standby time.

Opening the phone, he flipped through the phone book, which had three numbers saved.

Professional Welder: 159********.

Professional Excavator: 135********.

Professional Fake ID Maker: 155*******.

Su Xiao did not dial these numbers, but instead walked into the jewelry store, took out paper and pen, and wrote down numbers one by one.

Ten minutes later, Su Xiao obtained a phone number and dialed it.

Beep~ Beep~

The phone rang for a long time without being answered. Just as Su Xiao was about to hang up and use other methods to track the number, the call was picked up.

"Ex... excavator, which... family... cough cough cough."

Su Xiao immediately replied: "Man proposes, God disposes."

"Africa, two shots, chest, lower abdomen."

The person on the other end of the phone said a location.

"Libya, calf, one knife."

"..."

There was silence on the phone for a while.

"I might... not make it."

Haidong's voice was very weak, and he would loudly cough dryly from time to time.

"Address, I'll come find you."

"No, it's too dangerous."

"It doesn't matter."

Su Xiao was no longer the killer he once was.

"Hahaha, it really is your style. To hell with how many people there are, just slaughter them first. But this time... forget it. My only hope for living is gone; there's no meaning in living."

From this tone, one could tell that Haidong's heart was dead. His only spiritual pillar had vanished, and he had no other thoughts besides revenge.

"How much longer can you hold on?"

"A few minutes at most. I was hit by three shots, my lung was pierced, and my heart also has a certain degree of damage. It can't be saved."

"Oh."

Su Xiao rested his elbows on the table and covered his eyes with one hand.

"Friend, don't be sad because of my affairs. We are executioners who kill like hemp; the cycle of heaven always has this day."

"Mm."

Su Xiao's aura became increasingly violent: "The person you wanted to kill, are they dead?"

"Just a little bit off."

"Who!"

"..."

The phone fell into silence for a moment.

"I contacted you not because I wanted you to help me kill, but just to chat with you. You have changed; the current changes are very good. Hanging up."

Inside an abandoned factory, a black-haired man covered in blood hung up the phone, used all his strength to smash the phone, and picked up the SIM card to snap it in half.

"Different from before, no longer that avenger or killer who had no desire for life and was full of deathly aura at a young age. Congratulations, being able to live freely, I really envy you, you bastard. As a friend, I wish you keep this mindset."

The rise and fall of the man's chest became increasingly faint. He used his last bit of strength to take out a lighter, ignited it, and threw it onto a pile of gasoline-soaked rags at his feet. The flames quickly engulfed the place.

Inside the jewelry store, Su Xiao's breathing gradually calmed down. His best friend was dead.

"Bubu."

Seeing that Su Xiao's mood was wrong, Ignoring Bubu Wang hurriedly ran forward.

"Track the scent on the phone."

"Woof."

Ignoring Bubu Wang brought his head close to the phone and sniffed carefully for a few minutes.

"Woof!"

Ignoring Bubu Wang ran toward the outside of the jewelry store, and Su Xiao followed immediately. At this time, Fatty Ma was standing at the entrance.

"Borrow your car for a moment."

"No problem, don't drive that piece of junk. I have a big guy in the garage."

Fatty Ma tossed over a set of keys.

"Many thanks."

Su Xiao and Ignoring Bubu Wang walked toward the street corner.

"Someone is going to be unlucky."

Blackie didn't know when he had arrived at the jewelry store entrance.

"I've known Su Xiao for a while, but I've never seen him have this expression. I don't know who is so unlucky."

This city, Xiangrui Garden Community.

Xiangrui Garden Community was different from ordinary residential areas. There were no high-rise buildings here; Xiangrui Community was composed of individual villas, located on the edge of the city, and the air was exceptionally fresh.

In the central area of the community, inside a villa, several young people were sitting around in the living room playing cards. Among them, a young man wearing an ear stud appeared somewhat irritable.

"Damn, when will this hellish life end? What exactly does that mad dog want?"

The young man wearing the ear stud threw down the poker cards in his hand. He had been hiding here for nearly a week.

"Brother Xu, where exactly did you provoke that lunatic? I accidentally heard your old man say that he is a professional killer? Pretty badass, right?"

A young man with fair skin and a feminine appearance also threw down the poker cards in his hand. He picked up the wine glass on the coffee table and took a small sip.

"Don't mention it. I was just out walking the dog. You all know about pit bulls; they can't be walked in the city, so I went to walk it near the West Ring Road. Who knew a kid would suddenly run out? Dogs chase whoever runs. Could I hold back that pit bull's strength? Two bites, and the kid died."

The ear-stud youth was named Zhang Xutian. His father's assets could rank in the top three in this city. Although Zhang Xutian was a rich second generation who spent his days drinking and having fun, he didn't reach the level of bullying men and oppressing women. He had two hobbies: women and fierce dogs.

Zhang Xutian had taken his beloved dog for a walk a week ago. Just one day ago, Haidong had brought his son to this city. He had heard that Su Xiao was wanted, and later the warrant was lifted. He brought his son to find Su Xiao. There was nothing too important; it was just that they were old friends who hadn't seen each other in a long time and wanted to get together.

As for whether he could find Su Xiao, Haidong wasn't sure. Phone contact was impossible. The frequency at which the two changed numbers was no less than the number of times they changed clothes.

Haidong's son was very sensible and was already 7 years old, at the age to start elementary school. Haidong's idea was that Su Xiao had a fierce reputation in this city and was no longer a killer. Even if something happened to him one day, Su Xiao could help him take care of his son.

On the day the incident happened, Haidong had accepted a commission. It wasn't to kill, but to make the target stay in the hospital for more than a year. The commissions a killer accepts are not just as simple as killing.

The client who proposed the commission had a significant background, and Haidong couldn't refuse. He left his son alone in the rented room. This kind of thing wasn't the first or second time; it was the daily life of this father and son. He couldn't drag his family along when executing a commission, and Haidong didn't want his son to come into contact with anything related to being a killer.

When Haidong completed the commission and returned to this city, preparing to take his son to find Su Xiao, what he saw was his son's cold corpse, the tender neck covered in bloody bite marks.

This was perhaps retribution. No matter how loyal Haidong was to his friends, he ultimately earned money through the means of killing.
