Chapter 229: Netherworld Organization

"Failed?"

Wang Ping'an instantly felt extremely disappointed; he had been preparing to go to the Nine-headed Mountain Fox Clan market together with Hu Rui, not because he was bored out of idleness, nor because curiosity struck.

He wanted to take a look at the station of the Nine-headed Mountain Fox Clan market!

Rather, he wanted to show off his wealth while entering the Nine-headed Mountain market together with Hu Rui, preferably having Hu Rui 'help' him say a few words; this is also why he told Hu Rui he had a special hobby.

Just.

I never expected Hu Rui to say such a thing!

Of course.

He didn't suspect that Hu Rui was deceiving him; rather, he thought that although he hadn't come to the Nine-headed Mountain market often, many evil cultivators and monsters had died at his hands.

Although they were all scumbags who murdered and looted, the worse the person, the more likely they had their own small circle.

After several consecutive incidents where monsters and evil cultivators fell into his hands, the other evil cultivators and monsters in the Nine-headed Mountain market could not possibly be unaware of this.

I don't know whether they guessed that he had a special hobby, but from his deliberate display of wealth in the Nine-headed Mountain market, they should be able to infer a thing or two.

Unless they considered themselves monsters and evil cultivators of superior strength, facing his another display of wealth would remind them of the evil cultivators and monsters that had miserably died at his hands.

The remaining evil cultivators, even if they had the courage of a bear and leopard, would not dare to have any thoughts about him.

Hu Rui gave Wang Ping'an a strange look; she never expected him to have such a special hobby. At that time, if it weren't for Niuda's guarantee, she wouldn't have believed it.

However.

She didn't mind it too much, after all; although Wang Ping'an's hobby was strange, from her encounters with all kinds of people and monsters, she had found hobbies even more outrageous than his.

Hu Rui said: 'Daoist Li, if you don't want to make this trip for nothing, I have a method—it's rather dangerous; I don't know if you dare to do it!'

Wang Ping'an's eyes lit up instantly; he wasn't afraid of danger, after all, he was currently controlling a paper person, so even if there was danger, at most he would lose some money and property, he said:

'Miss Hu, go ahead and say it; you may not know, but there's no one in this world with greater courage than me—I dare to do anything!'

Hu Rui didn't care about Wang Ping'an's boasting, and said: 'Daoist Li, you may not know, but in our Nine-headed Mountain market there is a special organization that can take low-grade spirit stones as a bounty to have them kill you, Daoist Li.'

'If you, Daoist Li, are not afraid and don't want to make this trip for nothing, I can arrange for people to go there and put a bounty on you; I don't know if you, Daoist Li, would be willing?'

'There's still such an organization?'

Wang Ping'an was instantly startled, but after thinking, even in the twenty-first century on the blue-water planet there are still mercenaries; in a world similar to an ancient feudal dynasty, having a similar assassin organization is not absurd, he said:

'Miss Hu, you may not know, although I have a special hobby, I am actually a good person; I don't want good people to die at my hands—those people in those special organizations are all bad guys?'

'I just knew, Daoist Li, you are a great hero who enforces heaven's will!'

Hu Rui gave a word of praise; she really wanted to curse, 'Having become a whore yet still wanting to erect a chastity archway,' but since this gentleman is someone she wants to get closer to, she couldn't easily offend him, and explained:

'Daoist, you may not know, whether they are proper cultivators or proper monsters, they have legitimate ways to make money; those who do this kind of thing, whether individuals or organizations, how could they possibly be good people?'

'Like that!'

Wang Ping'an nodded; he had actually guessed that those who do such things are not good stuff, but while he isn't afraid of ten thousand, he fears the one chance.

He feared that his efforts would be in vain!

With Hu Rui's words, he felt relieved!

Wang Ping'an again transmitted his voice: 'Miss Hu, this is troublesome for you!'

'You're welcome, Daoist Li; we hit it off at first sight, helping you is what I should do!'

Hu Rui's expression turned serious, appearing especially enthusiastic and formal; she then beckoned to Hu Jiushisan beside her with a claw, saying: 'Uncle Thirteen, come over for a moment!'

'Daoist Li!'

Hu Jiushisan trotted over to Hu Rui all the way, shouting enthusiastically at Wang Ping'an; he had just been standing beside Niuda, admiring Niuda's miserable appearance, and when Hu Rui called him, he dared not hesitate in the slightest, saying:

'Miss Three, what do you need from me?' 'Uncle Thirteen, please go to the Netherworld Organization for a trip!'

Hu Rui instructed.

'Netherworld?'

Hu Jiushisan's face changed dramatically.

He had been in the Nine-headed Mountain market for not just a day or two; how could he not know about the Netherworld Organization hidden there? They are a bunch of lunatics, taking people's money and eliminating disasters for them; not to mention great monsters, as long as one can offer the appropriate price, even monster generals or monster kings.

They all have the guts to assassinate!

They have done many earth-shattering, ghost-and-god-weeping great deeds!

The Netherworld Organization in the Nine-headed Mountain market is naturally just a branch; logically, the Nine-headed Mountain market should not have such an organization, but who knows what special deal their ancestors had with the other side?

Let the Netherworld Organization take root and sprout in the Nine-headed Mountain market!

Of course, it's also possible that their ancestors were timid and dared not provoke others.

Not long ago.

You have arrived at this novel.

His source of wealth was leaked by Niuda, leading to him being robbed; he had the heart to kill, wishing to beat Niuda to death on the spot, but knowing he wasn't a match for Niuda, he didn't plan to just let Niuda go.

He had considered asking the Netherworld Organization to act!

Just.

Such a thought stayed in his mind only briefly before he dispelled it himself.

First, asking the Netherworld Organization to take action would be extremely costly.

Second, Niuda had just ingratiated himself with Hu Rui; this beast rarely makes enemies, and if it were killed, Hu Rui would surely notice something—whether she would cause trouble for the Netherworld Organization, he didn't know, but he would absolutely not let it go.

Hu Rui said in a displeased tone: 'What, you're not willing?'

Hu Jiushisan was very suspicious, wondering whether his idea of asking the Netherworld Organization to act and kill Niuda had been known to Hu Rui.

But after a second thought, he realized he was scaring himself; even if Hu Rui had heavenly abilities, she couldn't possibly know.

This matter was still just a thought, not told to outsiders; how could Hu Rui possibly know?

It was just him scaring himself!

'Miss Three, I'm going right now!'

Hu Jiushisan turned around, preparing to leave, but had not taken a few steps when his figure halted, he turned his head to look at Hu Rui, wearing a fawning smile, and asked:

"You see how clueless I am, Third Miss; I forgot to ask—what important matter do you have for me to go to the Netherworld Organization?"

"It's not anything important; I just want you to arrange people to assassinate Fellow Cultivator Li."

Hu Rui said nonchalantly.

"Assassinate Fellow Cultivator Li..."

Hu Jiushisan was startled at once, about to speak, to advise Hu Rui not to do something foolish, but Hu Rui spoke first, saying:

"Fellow Cultivator Li, please have the Netherworld Organization come to assassinate you."

"There's a one-time option: the Netherworld Organization arranges a powerful cultivator or monster to carry out the task, and regardless of success or failure, there will be no follow‑up."

"There's also a recurring option."

"I don't know whether it's a one‑time arrangement or a recurring one."
