The Road to Slaying God Chapter 43

CHAPTER 43: THE MYSTERY OF THE WORLD

“Of course, there's a great possibility that the top a.s.sa.s.sins of the organization have been maintaining the empty sh.e.l.l reputation of the ‘Mythical Era’. Only the first rate killers of the mythological era have never joined any killer organization.”

“Oh …”

Zhang Yang’s mind was like a heavenly steed soaring across the skies. It was his first contact with these legends of the world. His eyes were filled with the color of excitement.

In that magnificent journey and the river of the blood, how many unknown secrets are hidden in the end?

Beneath the muzzle of that dark hole, how many historical mists have been buried?

Undoubtedly, being an a.s.sa.s.sins is one of the professions that has mastered countless secrets!

“The Mythical Era” a.s.sa.s.sination organization was one of the biggest enigma 20 years ago. No one knew who the boss behind the organization was till the end, and n.o.body knows if the organization really existed because this a.s.sa.s.sin organization was full of tremendous cohesive force. A lot of young and outstanding a.s.sa.s.sins still considers it prideful to enter such killer organization, but unfortunately, in these two decades, no one has entered the ‘Mythical Era’ organization … …” The old man’s face was full of disappointment. Obviously, the old man also one of them, and was intoxicated by the fact that he could never join the ‘Mythical Era’ again.

“If I’m going to be a killer, I’d be at the top of the leaderboard!” Zhang Yang said in a heroic manner.

“Oh, you can dream about it. It’s impossible in existence.” The old man couldn’t help but laugh.

“Why?” Zhang Yang wasn’t convinced.

“Can you fly more than 10 meters high? Can you kick a man’s head into pieces? Can you defeat a large clan by yourself?”

“Ah …ah …ah … Who is so powerful like that? Can he do Martial Arts?” Zhang Yang found it very incredible that a man could jump more than 10 meters high. Even the Olympic champion could only jump two meters high.

“Ah, the first ranked a.s.sa.s.sin, known as ‘The First Sentinel’. In the past, there was a video circulating on the internet of him a.s.sa.s.sinating his target, but unfortunately one day, suddenly the video disappeared overnight. No matter where the video was stored, on every site or every private computer, it miraculously disappeared. No one could explain why … …In fact, the top ten ranked killers rarely used guns. Their bodies itself had become a lethal weapon!” The old man looked thrilled, apparently, “The First Sentinel” was his idol.

“The First Sentinel … why does he have this strange name?” Zhang Yang asked.

“I don’t know, hmm …, but the people inside speculates that there was a more powerful person above him, probably the boss of “Mythical Era”,  but no one can confirm it!”

“So …, Uncle Li, why did you want to join the a.s.sa.s.sins’ organization? Why not do it yourself?”

“Oh, you can do it yourself, however, as a proficient killer, it is necessary not only to have excellent skills, but also to have a good intelligence network, and the a.s.sa.s.sins’ organizations can provide such services, like business approaches, providing weapons, providing pa.s.sports around the world and so on. A lot of things that one person alone couldn’t handle. So, an average killer will choose an organization to avoid a lot of troubles. For example, if you go to a strange country but you do not have the knowledge of the local underground forces and intelligence networks, how will you get the weapons? You cannot fly with a sniper rifle, right? The old man laughed.

“So, that’s what it is!” Zhang Yang nodded.

“Besides, with a powerful a.s.sa.s.sins’ organization backing you up, you can prevent many people from seeking revenge because the target’s relatives will keep their hatred towards the head of the a.s.sa.s.sins’ organization like the “Mythical Age”. It can provide anything the a.s.sa.s.sins need, and can even provide protection for the killer. That’s why some people are willing to join a powerful a.s.sa.s.sins’ organization.”

“Not only these, but many clients for their own sake, they are reluctant to find some a.s.sa.s.sins. Instead they prefer to find a reputed a.s.sa.s.sins’ organization than directly contacting an a.s.sa.s.sin because at least, when the mission fails or the a.s.sa.s.sin gets arrested, the client will not be exposed.”

“But you said in the beginning that there are many high ranked killers doing it themselves, how do they find a contract?” Zhang Yang asked curiously.

“Hehe, that’s very simple. A slightly famous a.s.sa.s.sins will have their own business network and old clients. They take over a number of large contracts for three years and takes break for next three years. Also, amidst our daily lives, there are information about hiring a.s.sa.s.sins every day, just which the ordinary people does not know about. Those information are likely to be hidden inside a newspaper advertis.e.m.e.nt, or baffling words on the internet. In short, these are possibly the clients in the process of hiring killers. Under normal circ.u.mstances, they will leave a phone call and provide you with the details of the task. You will give them your account number and when the task is completed, the money will be deposited on your account. However, these type of businesses are very risky. First, it could easily be a trap, and secondly, it won’t be that easy to receive the money.

"Of course, the risk I'm talking about is actually very small, and it has not happened to me in my a.s.sa.s.sination career. Because normally the a.s.sa.s.sins are doing a lot of businesses, and people, they depend on a little bit of money and offend a killer. Whether it’s an ordinary person or gang organizations, the consequences of annoying a killer is very serious, you know. The a.s.sa.s.sins are ghosts hidden in a dark corner, shooting away souls with bullets. This psychology itself can easily create a huge pressure on people …”

“Does this newspaper also have the information about hired a.s.sa.s.sins?” Zhang yang picked up a local newspaper with excitement. That newspaper was his morning breakfast bag of fried dough sticks, and had grease spots  all over it.

“Get rid of this newspaper! Are there any persons in this area to be hired by a newspaper ad? You might as well ask someone like Liu Biao, that would be much better …”The old man stood up and fiercely knocked on Zhang Yang’s head and said, “Look at this one …”

Zhang Yang turned his head to look at the newspaper. It was a nationwide domestic newspaper, and the population of the country is very large.

“Look, you see this processed ads, messy number of processed products and the price is surprisingly low. If you combine a number of words, the a.s.sa.s.sins hiring ad will become visible …”

The old man pointed to some of the words to show Zhang Yang. Sure enough, the coherent words had an a.s.sa.s.sination job contents.
