Chapter 230: with translation of chapter title

Is there someone who will pursue relentlessly?

Hearing Wang Ping'an's mental transmission, Hu Rui's mouth twitched slightly; she really wanted to say, "No wonder he's a heretical demon who loves slaughter—just like a madman."

One's thoughts are nothing like those of outsiders!

Hu Rui stifled the urge to retort and replied, "There is such a plan, but the cost is extremely high, and one must have deep ties with the Netherworld Organization; ordinary people or demons simply cannot use it!"

Oh, like that!

Wang Ping'an was a bit disappointed but could understand; after all, relentless assassination is no ordinary difficulty. He said, "Then trouble Miss Hu, please help me select a repeated assassination plan!"

Actually.

The assassin organization Hu Rui spoke of differed greatly from what Wang Ping'an imagined; moreover, he had never heard of any assassin organization that had both a one-time plan and a repeated plan.

This isn't an assassin organization at all—it's purely a scam for money.

Just that.

Since the Netherworld Organization can exist and even Hu Rui admires it, it shows they truly have real skill.

Moreover.

In this world, the strong reign supreme; although humanity has a court and laws, for some powerful beings, laws are just nonsense.

One only needs to consider what action to take and whether one can bear the corresponding cost.

Just as many villains dare not assassinate court officials!

It's not that court officials are strong, nor that they fear the law, but that the court possesses a powerful violent organization; once a villain dares to act against a court official.

They will face relentless retaliation!

Unless driven to desperation, even the most barbaric person would not dare to act against a court official.

But...

Even under the high pressure of the Great Xia Court, court officials still get killed from time to time.

In such a world, even if backed by a powerful patron, someone might dare to commit fraud, but they would absolutely not dare to form an organization.

Even in a previous life, the twenty-first century, a peaceful era, there were fraud organizations, but they were too arrogant—wasn't it just a matter of a few wanted posters?

Thinking of this, Wang Ping'an grew curious: how would the so-called Netherworld assassin organization try to kill him, and if he could exterminate that organization, how much Merit would he gain?

Of course.

Given his current strength, he can only wonder whether he could even deal with the assassins the Netherworld Organization might send against him.

Fellow Daoist, I understand!

Hu Rui tapped the fox's head, turned to look at Hu Jiushisan beside her, and instructed, "Uncle Jiushisan, please trouble yourself to go to the Netherworld Organization, issue a mission, and have them arrange people to repeatedly assassinate Fellow Daoist Li!"

I—I—I... I understand!

Hu Jiushisan's mouth twitched slightly, his face instantly turned extremely strange, and he turned to prepare to leave.

Although it hadn't heard Wang Ping'an's words, from Hu Rui's muttering to herself it could still guess what Wang Ping'an had said.

It originally didn't understand why Hu Rui would suddenly think of asking the Netherworld Organization to send people to assassinate Wang Ping'an, especially since just moments ago Hu Rui had been enthusiastic, purchasing over a thousand beginner talismans from him.

Even at the price of one and a half low-grade spirit stones, given Hu Rui's position in the Nine-headed Mountain Fox Clan Merchant Guild, these beginner talismans not only yielded profit, but a great deal of profit.

Since the Nine-headed Mountain Fox Clan Merchant Guild acted as a middleman among middlemen, selling the talismans purchased from here, they not only doubled the price but also attracted much enthusiasm from many heretical cultivators and monsters at the Jiu tou shan ji shi.

Who let the beginner talismans made by Wang Ping'an have power comparable to intermediate talismans, yet be far cheaper than intermediate talismans by an unknown amount?

Wang Ping'an's talismans are truly the epitome of good quality and low price.

The Jiu tou shan ji shi is the sole market in the surrounding several counties, frequented by nearby monsters and heretical cultivators from elsewhere, even orthodox cultivators and curious scholars come; the foot traffic is huge!

Merchants doing business in the Jiu tou shan ji shi can be said to have made plenty of money.

As long as one is willing to work, even selling some spiritual fruits and earning hard-earned money can lead to wealth and prosperity, enough to support a concubine.

Don't think Wang Ping'an's talismans have only been popular for a day or two in the Jiu tou shan ji shi; they remain in short supply, and besides personal use, some also harbor the idea of buying low and selling high.

Moreover, the Nine-headed Mountain Fox Clan Merchant Guild, besides having a station at the Jiu tou shan ji shi, will have branches wherever the Nine-headed Mountain Fox Clan exists, to a greater or lesser extent.

One could say...

No matter how many talismans Wang Ping'an produces, as long as the quality is good, the Nine-headed Mountain Fox Clan Merchant Guild can absorb them and sell them quickly.

In such a situation, not to mention that Wang Ping'an hasn't offended Hu Rui; even if he cursed her mother to her face, Hu Rui would still have to flatter him a few times.

Saying Wang Ping'an scolds well!

Otherwise.

Before Wang Ping'an, this god of wealth, if Hu Rui dared to get angry, not even needing Wang Ping'an's retaliation, her own mother would not spare her.

Hu Rui has worked many years in the Nine-headed Mountain Fox Clan Merchant Guild and even risen to a managerial position; she certainly wouldn't be unaware of this principle.

This novel you have reached.

Heaven is vast, earth is vast, but spirit stones are the greatest!

It even suspected that Hu Rui had her brain pinched by a door, or had eaten a bear's heart and leopard's gall, daring to actually request the Netherworld Organization to assassinate Wang Ping'an.

Since Wang Ping'an himself was still nearby, when Hu Rui spoke these words without hiding anything, it suspected that she might be deliberately trying to scare Wang Ping'an.

But.

Looking at the current situation, it suspected that this matter was actually requested by Wang Ping'an.

Thinking of this, Hu Jiushisan was greatly shocked, yet then recalled that he himself had personally seen Wang Ping'an lure out one heretical cultivator and monster after another, making them engage in murder and robbery.

It is said.

It was Wang Ping'an who flashed his wealth at the Jiu tou shan ji shi!

Afterward.

Those heretical cultivators and monsters lured out all met a miserable end at Wang Ping'an's hands.

Wang Ping'an suddenly requesting Hu Rui to have the Netherworld Organization assassinate him is quite in line with his behavior.

Hu Rui watched Hu Jiushisan about to run off and shouted, "Uncle Jiushisan, wait a moment!"

Hu Jiushisan halted and said, "Third Miss, do you have any other orders?"

You know the Netherworld Organization's fees aren't cheap; having you work, how could I let you pay? This is one thousand low-grade spirit stones—take them!

Hu Rui's thoughts moved, and one after another heavy cloth bags appeared before it, and she spoke again: "Right, this matter must not be disclosed; furthermore, do not let the Netherworld Organization know that I had you issue the mission, asking the Netherworld Organization's people to ambush and kill Daoist Li!"

Hu Jiushisan really wanted to say, it had money, and although it had only recently started doing business with Wang Ping'an, it had certainly not earned few low-grade spirit stones.

Just for Hu Rui's favor, putting up its spirit stones, and still helping to bring Hu Rui and Wang Ping'an closer, it would never be willing.

If it weren't for Hu Rui's orders, it would not be willing to run this errand for Hu Rui for free.

Hu Jiushisan gathered up one after another heavy cloth bags and responded: "Third Miss, I know this is a personal dispute between me and Daoist Li; under no circumstances will it involve you, Third Miss!"
