Chapter 307

~4 min read 702 words

What?

As Su Chen's voice fell, everyone in the main hall was dumbfounded.

Huo Xiu is actually the mysterious General Master behind the Green-Clad Tower?

This shock is no small matter!

If one speaks of the most terrifying assassin organization in the Great Ming Jianghu, it is undoubtedly the Qinglong Society.

But if one speaks of the most prominent assassin organization in the last few decades, it must be this Green-Clad Tower!

The 108 Green-Clad Towers, each tower has countless top assassins, making the Jianghu bleed.

Yet in several decades, not a single Green-Clad Tower's location has been exposed, showing how strict their secrecy is.

People in the Jianghu never speak of the Green-Clad Tower without fear and awe.

Even top sects like Shaolin and Wudang have had many disciples harmed by Green-Clad Tower assassins.

Because the Green-Clad Tower is just that bold; as long as enough money is given, they even dare to kill the Emperor.

And the Green-Clad Tower's greatest confidence lies in the fact that it comes without a shadow and leaves without a trace; no one can catch them.

Especially the General Master of the Green-Clad Tower, who secretly rules so many assassins, yet not a shred of information has leaked.

No one knows his age, no one knows his gender, no one knows his martial arts, and it is not even clear if this person exists.

Now, everything has finally come to light.

The boss behind the Green-Clad Tower, who has threatened the Great Ming Jianghu for decades, has finally had his identity exposed; it is none other than the richest man in Guanxi, Huo Xiu.

For a time, extremely intense discussions erupted in the main hall:

"What? Did I hear that right? Huo Xiu is actually the General Master of the 108 Green-Clad Towers?"

"Good heavens, this is big news; if it spreads, the entire Jianghu will explode."

"I just said, Huo Xiu is a jeweler, where did he get such high-level martial arts? He really is a ruthless character."

"This Huo Xiu's martial arts can be mentioned in the same breath as Daoist Mu and Dugu Yihe; he is clearly no simple character, but I didn't expect his hidden identity to be so terrifying."

"I guessed long ago that supporting the 108 Green-Clad Towers requires very large financial resources; the mastermind behind it must have immense wealth."

"Terrifying! If Mr. Su hadn't exposed it, who could have imagined that the First Green-Clad Tower was right under the Pearl and Treasure Pavilion?"

……

The fourth private room in the South District.

"The great Guanxi jeweler Huo Xiu, I didn't expect him to have such an identity."

"However, this person's path to wealth does have suspicious points, as if he possessed countless wealth out of thin air."

"And after he went into the jewelry business, several large rival chambers of commerce all met with misfortune one after another, allowing him to successfully grow."

"Now everything can be explained."

Hua Manlou said with emotion.

Ximen Chuixue said: "Lu Xiaofeng, if I remember correctly, this Huo Xiu is your good friend, right?"

Lu Xiaofeng said: "I have known Huo Xiu for many years; although I felt he was a bit strange, I didn't expect him to have such an identity."

"Did you not expect it, or did you deliberately choose not to think about it?"

Ximen Chuixue snorted.

"I can only say that this old fox Huo Xiu is too good at acting; even I couldn't see a single flaw."

Lu Xiaofeng said with a bitter smile.

Thinking that every time he went to Guanxi, he was drinking tea and playing chess with the General Master of the Green-Clad Tower in the First Green-Clad Tower, Lu Xiaofeng felt it was very surreal.

"With Huo Xiu doing such things behind the scenes, he should have stayed completely behind the scenes."

"But he still dared to be good friends with you, Lu Xiaofeng, which shows his confidence in his hiding skills."

"It's just that he never imagined there would be a strange person like Mr. Su in the world who could foresee everything under heaven."

Hua Manlou said with a smile.

Lu Xiaofeng raised his eyebrows upon hearing this.

That's right!
