Chapter 761: Won't do a losing business
"This woman is really a top-notch product... I just don't know who has the courage to marry her... tsk tsk tsk..."
"Keep dreaming, you want to marry her? Zheng Jing would rather marry into the family as a son-in-law than get engaged to the Thorn Emperor. Even if this woman gets married, she can only recruit a son-in-law."
"I didn't expect Zheng Jing to look arrogant and domineering on the surface, but privately he is a soft-rice eater."
"Heh, don't be sour. Why do you think the Zheng family's development momentum has been so fierce in the past few years? It's because when the Thorn Emperor disappeared, Zheng Jing mobilized many Thorn members to charge for the Zheng family in the name of her fiancé. The Zheng family was originally an ordinary second-rate family, but now it has developed and grown, and doesn't even take the lunatic Wolf King seriously. If this soft rice is given to you, will you eat it?"
The rumor that the Thorn Emperor is a woman first came from the Zheng family.
And Zheng Jing often swaggered through the streets in the name of the Thorn Emperor. Not to mention that the Thorn Emperor is really a woman, even if it were a man with a penchant for dragon-yang, if he wanted to marry Zheng Jing as his wife, it wouldn't be anyone else's turn to talk about it.
"Then the Wolf King is going to be unlucky this time. Who shouldn't he offend, but he had to offend the Thorn Emperor's lover. I think the Emperor invited him today, it's a Hongmen Banquet, settling new and old grudges together. He and his subordinates are afraid they won't be able to return..."
The discussions of the passersby around vaguely reached Xu Tian's ears. He didn't pay attention to Zheng Jing's provocation but asked Zhong Ling in a low voice.
"The Thorn Emperor is a woman?"
"Hmm, there has been such a rumor for a long time." Zhong Ling nodded. "As far as I know, this rumor is 80 percent credible."
Xu Tian frowned slightly when he heard this.
He didn't expect the Thorn Emperor to be a woman. Then, if he made trouble at the meeting in a while, would it be ungentlemanly?
"Xiao Jing, how can you speak to Leader Ding with this attitude?"
Just then, a deep voice sounded.
"In a few days, Leader Ding will submit to you, and will even take the initiative to please you with generous gifts and membership fees. Our Zheng family has always been kind to subordinates. For your own subordinates, don't be too sharp in your words."
Zhong Ling and Zhong Yu's expressions became extremely ugly.
This person who was even more arrogant than Zheng Jing was the head of the Zheng family, and also Zheng Jing's
father.
Seeing the Zheng family head appear, the reporters turned their lenses to him.
"Zheng family head, I heard a rumor that Zheng family members had a quarrel with the Wolf King in a bar before, and the Wolf King killed that person in a fit of rage. Is this rumor true?"
"If the rumor is true, how will the Zheng family deal with it? Will you conduct a comprehensive blockade of Canglang Hall?"
"Zheng family head, tell us about your plans next!"
Facing the reporters' questions, the Zheng family head only said coldly.
"What kind of end the Wolf King will have, you will know soon."
"Heh, you old thing who looks down on people, do you think our Canglang Hall is really afraid of your Zheng family?" Zhong Yu said unconvinced. "When our Brother Yi became famous, your Zheng family was still shrinking in the suburbs of Kun Cheng!"
Facing the Zheng family head's blatant provocation and humiliation, Xu Tian was still calm, and there was no half-point anger on his face.
"Zhong Yu, don't haggle with them, business is important."
"Yes." Zhong Yu replied in a low voice.
They came here this time just to put on a show for the Wuji Martial Arts Association. As long as they fell out with Thorn, they would have completed the mission.
Xu Tian sized up the guests present calmly; they were all big shots from Kun Cheng.
The methods of this woman known as the Thorn Emperor were really not simple.
However, Xu Tian was not unprepared for this visit, at least he still had a bounty hunter group he could mobilize.
The Chonghuo Bounty Hunter Group was a level one bounty hunter group after all. Although he didn't expect them to kill the Emperor directly, it shouldn't be difficult to escort Xu Tian and others to retreat when encountering emergencies.
Therefore, Xu Tian was not worried about his own safety.
These heads of various forces who arrived were a bit surprised after learning that Xu Tian was the Wolf King.
They didn't expect the Wolf King to really dare to come to the Thorn Emperor's territory to attend the meeting.
At this moment, the people from the Chonghuo Mercenary Group had already gotten out of the car and walked behind Xu Tian.
The tall, thin youth in the lead was wearing a light gray casual suit, and Miaomiao beside him was wearing a light blue lady's dress, holding a pearl handbag, looking more like a famous lady attending a banquet.
Behind them followed a cold and beautiful woman and a paralyzed man, compared with the
beautiful couple in front, the combination of these two was more like a pair of enemies who didn't like each other but were forced to marry.
Bounty hunters with top-level skills like them usually do some disguise to ensure that no one can recognize them in order to ensure their own safety.
Therefore, even if the tall, thin youth and others followed Xu Tian, no one would associate them with bounty hunters.
"Brother Yi, do you need us to help you kill the Thorn Emperor?" The tall, thin youth took two steps to Xu Tian's side and made a throat-slitting gesture low-key. "We Chonghuo take on all kinds of jobs. Of course, the difficulty of this mission is relatively high, and the remuneration needs to be increased by five times."
The corners of Xu Tian's mouth twitched.
They were already licking blood on the edge of a knife by coming here to smash the venue, and this person actually dared to want to kill.
"Kill the Thorn Emperor? Just rely on us few people?"
"No, Miaomiao alone is enough." The youth smiled and put his arm around the woman's shoulder beside him. "Don't look at her deceptive appearance; she is actually more powerful than the other three of us."
Miaomiao could rank in the top twenty in the Western Alliance bounty hunter world, and her missions had never failed. Of course, this also had something to do with her seemingly weak and harmless appearance.
After all, who would guard against a woman who is tender and watery and looks completely unaggressive?
Xu Tian noticed this the first time he saw Miaomiao. Although this woman was a bounty hunter, there was not a trace of killing intent on her body or in her eyes, and her temperament was as clean and pure as a college student who had just left school.
However, even so, Xu Tian had no intention of taking risks.
He still had to find Tang Bingyan, and he didn't want to send his own life into the Thorn Emperor's hands before finding his wife.
"Don't do anything extra. I didn't come here to kill people this time." Xu Tian warned. "You listen to my command and are not allowed to act privately."
"Rest assured, we won't do a losing business." The tall, thin youth said with a sheepish smile.
The implication was that if the price wasn't negotiated, they wouldn't exert effort for nothing.
If you want them to kill, you need extra money.
"Leader Ding, please come in!"
The Thorn member who went to Canglang Hall to collect membership fees that day saw Xu Tian and immediately walked up, as if afraid that Xu Tian would run away, and couldn't wait to lead them into the courtyard. ===== CHAPTER 762 =====
