Chapter 479

"They should be here soon." The subordinate glanced at the time.

Not long after, a group of people in black walked in from outside.

Leading them was a long-haired woman wearing a black, slim-fitting cheongsam with a high slit. The woman had a cold expression, and there was a hint of murderous intent in her eyes.

At first, when Tang Jihuai saw the four women in the lead, he felt a bit uneasy in his heart.

Can a woman really get the job done?

But because these bounty hunters were found by Lord Shadow in his capacity, Tang Jihuai could only harbor doubts in his heart, but he dared not voice any questioning on the surface.

"Hello." Just as Tang Jihuai was hesitating, Tang Qingwu had already taken the lead to step forward and greet them: "I am Tang Qingwu, and this beside me is my father, Tang Jihuai."

"Mr. Tang, I am Qi Min, the chief bounty hunter of the Flying Snow Agency. I have already received the relevant information about this operation from Lord Shadow."

Upon hearing the name Qi Min, Tang Jihuai suddenly shivered, and his previous doubts were instantly dispelled.

This woman, Qi Min, was a notorious female demon in the bounty hunter circle, and even he, an outsider, had heard of her brutal deeds.

However, with Qi Min leading the team this time, even if that kid Xu Tian had bodyguards around him, he wouldn't be able to escape his grasp.

"Miss Qi, I've long admired your name. You truly are a heroine who doesn't lose to men." Tang Qingwu greeted the other party politely: "My father and I have specially prepared a banquet to welcome you. Let's eat and talk."

"Mm." Qi Min nodded and, leading the group of bounty hunters behind her, followed Tang Jihuai and his son toward the banquet hall.

After everyone exchanged pleasantries during the meal, Qi Min began to get to the point.

"Mr. Tang, I have already investigated the bodyguards around the target person you mentioned."

"What are their identities?" Tang Jihuai asked impatiently.

"They are also bounty hunters. The white-haired man in the lead is called Wuqing; he is the small leader among these people and has a lot of prestige. The others are the twins Su Nan and Su Bei, Xialuo, A Biao, and Fengwu."

"Fengwu is of mixed Huaxia and Western Alliance descent, and among these bounty hunters, she has the strongest strength."

"These bounty hunters are ace bounty hunters from the well-known group Fire Flame Agency, and their ranks are all Level 1. Previously, when they were carrying out a mission in Y Country, they betrayed their employer. They can be described as cunning and without a bottom line, so our mission this time carries a certain amount of risk."

The more Tang Jihuai listened, the tighter his brows furrowed, thinking to himself that the mission hadn't even started yet, so why was she boosting the morale of others?

"Miss Qi, then what do you mean..." Tang Qingwu asked calmly.

"Mr. Tang, I'll be blunt. I can take this mission, but the commission needs to be increased by five million. If you think it's inappropriate, that's fine too; we'll just consider this trip to Jiangcheng a vacation."

Qi Min handed the information in her hand to one of their bounty hunters, her expression so indifferent that it didn't look like she was negotiating business at all.

The expressions of Tang Jihuai and Tang Qingwu changed.

When these bounty hunters took on a mission, the commission was already set. Now Qi Min was opening her mouth like a lion and raising the price on the spot; this did not conform to the rules of the bounty hunter circle.

But even so, they had no other choice at the moment.

Tang Jihuai tried his best to suppress the anger in his heart and laughed loudly: "Miss Qi, I can add to the commission, but there is only one condition: no matter what means you use, you must bring the person back to me."

"No problem." Qi Min smiled slightly and took out another folder: "Since Mr. Tang has decided to cooperate with me, then sign this agreement."

Looking at the employment agreement that had already been added to the commission, Tang Jihuai's anger grew a few more degrees.

This cunning woman had made up her mind to blackmail them from the very beginning. If it weren't for the sake of the big picture, he really wouldn't want to let her get her way.

In fact, such an agreement is not protected by law, but it is effective in the bounty hunter circle. If they signed the agreement and someone breached the contract, the Bounty Hunter Association would make a ruling.

Tang Jihuai signed his name at the bottom of the agreement and then handed the document back.

"Now can Miss Qi fulfill her promise?"

"No problem." Qi Min nodded slightly and then stood up first.

"Miss Qi, I will emphasize again: I want you to bring the person back to me alive. If the person dies, it will count as a failed mission, and I will not pay." Tang Jihuai emphasized emphatically.

"No problem." Qi Min waved her hand gracefully with her back to Tang Jihuai. With that graceful figure and posture, one could never tell that she was actually a bounty hunter who had carried out hundreds of dangerous missions.

Suburban villa.

A Biao and the others were sitting around eating noodles.

"Boss, do you want to eat some? I'm very good at making noodles with gravy."

"No." Xu Tian shook his head: "I don't have the habit of eating late-night snacks."

At the same time, the white-haired man Wuqing, wearing a butler's uniform, walked over and reported to Xu Tian.

"Boss, I found that a little boy has been lingering around our villa."

"Is it a child from a nearby villa who ran out to play?" Xu Tian didn't take it to heart. Although this villa was a detached house, there were other residents a few hundred meters away. It was normal for children to be playful and run over to their courtyard.

"Perhaps you should contact the property management and see if any family has a lost child..."

Before Wuqing could answer, two loud bangs suddenly came from outside the villa.

"There are intruders!" Wuqing instantly became fully alert, his eagle-like eyes looking toward the doorway.

A Biao and the others who were still eating noodles also became alert and stood up one after another, walking to Xu Tian's side.

"Why is it so lively today?" The blonde teenager Xialuo frowned: "They should be in the same group as those incompetent bounty hunters!"

"You and A Biao stay by the boss's side, the others come with me." After Wuqing finished speaking, he took Fengwu and the two brothers Su Nan and Su Bei and walked outside the villa.

Not long after they went out, bursts of fighting sounds rang out outside.

Soon the sounds outside faded away, and they could barely be heard inside the villa.

"Hehe, running away when they can't win, they really are cowards." A Biao had been keeping an eye on the movement outside: "I guess they have already been beaten to a pulp by Wuqing and the others and had to flee with their tails between their legs."

Xu Tian looked toward the floor-to-ceiling window, but his expression was not as relaxed as the others.

It was unlikely that two different groups of people would target him in one day, but if these people were in the same group as the previous men in black, they shouldn't have rushed over again without being prepared.

However, after Wuqing and the others went out, they still easily intercepted them and even chased them out, which made Xu Tian feel a bit strange.

And just at this moment, the villa's doorbell suddenly rang.

"Is anyone there?"

Immediately, Xu Tian and the others heard the voice of a woman with a lazy tone.
