Chapter 886: Grudge

"I'm not short of money." Xu Tian said indifferently. "No matter how much it is, I can afford it."

"I don't disbelieve you, but this also involves finding people to form a team, so without proof, you at least have to give me some guarantee." The young man hesitated.

"You want a guarantee?" Xu Tian thought for a moment, turned his head to look at Liu Shasha. "I have some words I want to say to your brother alone, and these words cannot be heard by others."

"You want me to go out and keep watch for you?" Liu Shasha was smart and immediately heard the implication in Xu Tian's words. "Fine, but hurry up, I don't want to stand in the corridor blowing cold wind forever."

Liu Shasha said, stood up, and walked out of the private room. After walking out, she closed the door tightly.

Only Xu Tian and the young man were left in the private room.

The young man stared at Xu Tian and said again: "Junior brother, this is a Special-level mission after all, it's no small matter. If you don't have proof that I can recognize, I can't easily agree to you."

"You want proof..." Xu Tian tilted his head to look at him. "I wonder if the name of the Wolf King is enough?"

"Wolf King?" The young man's expression was still suspicious, but after realizing something, his face changed drastically, and he even stood up in shock. "Are you talking about the Wolf King, the leader of the Azure Wolf Hall? Did the Wolf King send you, or..."

"I am Ding Yi." Xu Tian looked directly at the young man with calm eyes.

"You are the Wolf King Ding Yi..." The shock in the young man's eyes became more obvious. Afterward, he took a deep breath and sat back in his chair, trying hard to calm his emotions.

It is a taboo for a bounty hunter not to manage their emotions well, but the identity Xu Tian revealed made him too shocked.

"What proof do you have to prove your identity?" After a while, the young man spoke again.

He couldn't just believe anyone who said they were the Wolf King.

"If you want proof, I can give it to you."

Xu Tian thought for a moment and asked: "Do you know any members of the Azure Wolf Hall?"

The young man was slightly startled and then said: "I have seen Zhong Ling and Zhong Yu before."

"Then, wait a moment."

Since the other party knew people, it was easy for him to prove his identity.

Xu Tian took out his phone and dialed Zhong Yu's number. Soon, he thought that the other party might not be able to recognize him by voice alone, so he switched to a video call.

The call was quickly connected, and Zhong Yu's face appeared on the phone screen.

Zhong Yu waved at Xu Tian excitedly after seeing him.

"Brother Yi, why are you calling me at this time? Don't you have class? Are you used to it over at the Profound Heaven Villa? Do you need us to send you some daily necessities?"

"No need."

Xu Tian turned the phone toward the young man so that the other party could also see Zhong Yu's appearance on the phone clearly.

"How is it at headquarters recently?"

"Everything is fine."

Zhong Yu didn't understand and answered truthfully: "Brother Yi, when are you coming back to headquarters? It's so boring without you here. The Second Elder and the Fourth Elder are at each other's throats every day. Hurry back and manage them!"

"I'll go back in a while. If there's nothing else, go get busy."

After speaking, Xu Tian cut off the video directly and then turned to look at the young man beside him who was craning his neck to look.

"Now you can confirm my identity, right?"

"Leader Ding..." The young man showed great respect. "But with your identity, you don't need to issue a bounty mission at all, right?"

"Don't you bounty hunters take my missions in your circle?" Xu Tian raised his eyebrows slightly.

"No, don't misunderstand, that's not what I meant. I mean you have many capable people under your command; sending any one of them to complete the mission would be more than enough. Why spend money to issue a bounty mission?"

"There are some things that naturally cannot be handled by members of the Azure Wolf Hall."

Xu Tian didn't intend to explain in detail to the other party but asked directly: "Well, are you going to take the bounty mission I issued or not?"

"Since Leader Ding has such a need, I can naturally consider it."

The young man seemed to have thought of something and continued: "Indeed, with your identity, some things are not suitable for you to come forward personally. Before, on the Yun family side..."

He said half of it, suddenly realized he had let something slip, and quickly changed his words: "But Leader Ding, don't worry, I've been in this business for many years, and I have the most basic professional ethics. I will absolutely not reveal your information and mission content to outsiders."

"I didn't deny your professional ethics." Xu Tian said.

Except for a very small number of outliers, most bounty hunters will not reveal mission content and the employer's personal data.

Once this bottom line is broken, they will be spurned by the entire bounty hunter circle, will never be able to gain a foothold in this circle again, and may even bring fatal disaster upon themselves and suffer retaliation from the employer. More extreme ones will even implicate their families.

Therefore, most bounty hunters would rather die than betray the employer's identity.

"Then let's talk about the mission." Xu Tian knew he wouldn't easily pry news out of the other party's mouth and could only proceed slowly.

"I want Yun Mufeng's life. I don't care what means you use; as long as you can kill him for me, I can pay whatever amount of money you want."

Leader Ding's reputation and financial resources could naturally afford the reward for a Special-level bounty mission. The young man didn't doubt this point, but...

He said to Xu Tian with some difficulty: "Leader Ding, the difficulty of your bounty mission is extremely high. I believe you should also be clear that the Yun family's young master, Yun Mufeng, has been missing for several years, and even the Yun family has no news of him."

"Do you think my Azure Wolf Hall's intelligence network is just for show?" Xu Tian's face sank. "Yun Mufeng is clearly at the Yun family now, and you still want to lie to me?"

"No..."

The young man's expression stiffened, and soon a look of difficulty in choosing appeared on his face again.

He knew very well that the current Yun Mufeng at the Yun family was an imposter and not the real young master of the Yun family at all.

A year ago, they had received a bounty mission issued by the Yun family and rushed to Huaxia with the confidant of the Yun family's second young master, Yun Hexian, to assassinate the real Yun Mufeng.

At that time, they had several people with them, all of whom were experts, but at the critical moment, a woman in a cheongsam with strange movements saved Yun Mufeng.

The current young master Yun at the Yun family definitely wasn't the real Yun Mufeng.

The young man couldn't guess whether Xu Tian wanted to kill the current imposter or the real young master of the Yun family, so he asked tentatively: "Leader Ding, do you want to kill the young master Yun who is currently at the Yun family, or the Yun Mufeng who has been missing for a long time?"

"What's the difference?" Xu Tian pretended to be puzzled and asked back.

"Leader Ding, I can't tell you the specific details, but I want to ask you a question first: why do you want to put Yun Mufeng to death?"

"Naturally, there's a grudge." Xu Tian answered with a cold face.

"Then when did he offend you?" The young man pursued. ===== CHAPTER 887 =====
