Ace of the Dragon Division

Chapter 405: Someone’s Screwed

Solo’s dagger swept towards Xu Cheng’s claw.

Xu Cheng just ignored the dagger. As long as the opponent didn’t have extremely strong internal force like the Little Joker, as well as the dagger being nothing special, something like this had no chance of penetrating his tortoise shell.

When Xu Cheng’s hand reached for the dagger and the blade crossed his palm, it didn’t leave a cut on his hand at all. Even the dagger itself was caught by Xu Cheng’s hand and instantly shattered as Xu Cheng tightened his grip!

Shocked, Solo immediately retreated, trying to maintain a distance he thought would be safe enough that would allow him to flee at any moment.

He looked at Xu Cheng, confused, and said, “What grudge do you have against me? Why you gotta come over here and try to kill me man…”

Xu Cheng said expressionlessly, “Tell me who put the bounty on my head. It’s either he dies, or you die for him! You can choose.”

Solo groaned. He gritted his teeth and said, “I want to try and run away.”

“You can’t.” Right as Xu Cheng finished, he appeared right in front of Solo. The latter’s face immediately changed; holy crap the disparity in power was really too big…

Originally, he thought that with the safe distance, he could at least run away. But who knew Xu Cheng could arrive before him within the blink of an eye! Of course Solo was shocked!

One had to know that he was a SS-class master himself, and it could be said that other than the top five legendary masters in this world, he was one of the top fighters. It could even be said that if one of the top five legends dies, he could ascend in rank and replace them! 

If Xu Cheng was one of the SS-class fighters, he would know for sure because there were only 20 or so of them in this world!

But it was because Xu Cheng wasn’t on the Sky Ranking, that was why the Assassin Alliance allowed the bounty to be placed onto Xu Cheng’s head and registered it into the system. If they knew he was someone of the SS-class or even higher, the Assassin Alliance wouldn’t post this mission at all. Afterall, other than him, there really wasn’t anyone in the Assassin Alliance that could finish this mission, so why the fack would they post it?

“You should be on the Sky Ranking, why didn’t you say it earlier so we can cancel this mission right away?” Solo said nervously as he tried to escape the blame. It was because he felt that the brutal force from Xu Cheng’s claw earlier was even enough to break through the sound barrier and to be honest, he didn’t want to deal with that.

After dodging three attacks from Xu Cheng, Xu Cheng was already losing patience and started using Shadow Fist. Within just two moves, Solo got hit by a punch in the chest and flew right into a car on the roadside. He coughed up blood as he kneeled. The car windows behind him were completely shattered.

When Xu Cheng walked over towards him, Solo took the initiative and attacked.

As an assassin, the scariest thing about him wasn’t how powerful he was, but the fact that his understanding of the human body had reached a terrifying degree. As the king of assassins, even if he had no weapon in his hand, he could still kill people, even with a piece of hair or his fingernails. With his thorough understanding of the weakness of every single joint and part of the human body, his killing efficiency was very high.

But, what he would never expect in a million years was that Xu Cheng’s body was as tough as the aerospace aluminum alloy used in building spaceships. When he tried to sink his nails into the muscles behind Xu Cheng’s neck, he realized that it was his fingers that began bleeding.

Solo immediately changed his hand into the shape of a blade and planned on striking the back of Xu Cheng’s head to hit his nerve center. For an average person, as long as he put enough force behind this strike, the target would die instantly.

However, towards Xu Cheng, Solo noticed that his hand felt as if it struck a big piece of iron, and the bones inside his hand almost broke.

Xu Cheng grabbed Solo’s wrist right away and with a 180-degree-turn, he threw Solo out gracefully like a baseball. From the roadside car, Solo was thrown back into the store

As the glass shattered and window broken, Solo’s face and body were covered in glass shards. When Xu Cheng walked in, he was already panting pitifully on the ground as he looked at Xu Cheng, putting his hands up and waving for Xu Cheng to stop coming toward him.

“I will tell you! I will tell you who put the bounty on your head!”

Xu Cheng squatted down, and pointing at his eyes with his index and middle fingers, he said, “You only have one chance. If you aren’t detailed with your answer, I will pierce your eyes.”

Solo swallowed his spittle, nodded, and said, “His name is Cunzhong Tailang, one of the five leaders of the Sankou group. The bounty mission was registered at our checkpoint at Shenhu City of the Wei Nation, that’s where Sankou group’s base is.”

Xu Cheng frowned.

He wondered why the Shanling Financial Group would borrow this layer of relationship to get to him?

But then again, after further thought, he felt it made sense too.

They probably thought that Xu Cheng didn’t know it was them that were behind the underground money house, and if it wasn’t for someone so critical and capable that was Haber, it was true that most people, including Xu Cheng, wouldn’t know the relationship between Shanling and the underground money house. So, under this premise, they obviously wanted as few people as possible, such as the people at the Assassin Alliance, to know that the underground money house belonged to the Shanling Financial Group or it may harm its reputation. That was why they asked the Sankou Group to handle this for them. The Sankou group was one of the top triads in Asia, so most people would feel even more scared hearing this name than a financial group. So even if Xu Cheng were to trace it to its root, he might not dare to offend further.”

“Looks like I have to kill more people.” Xu Cheng sighed. He withdrew his hand and turned around and left. Just a few steps out, he stopped in his tracks and turned around. He narrowed his eyes and looked at Solo, “Looks like you know my strength now, this might not be good for me.”

Just now, he exposed his power that was greater than the SS-class, and if the M Nation guys and the 5th Division knew Huaxia had a Xu Cheng of the SS+ class, they might connect him with the Dragon King. This indeed would be troublesome.

Solo looked at him and said, “Since the establishment of the Assassin Alliance, our credibility and reputation is top-notch. We definitely won’t say what we should say, or we wouldn’t have survived until today. We vow to only be the third-party platform to serve people, and we definitely wouldn’t involve ourselves in the grudges between two sides.”

“I only believe that dead people won’t talk.” Xu Cheng suddenly squatted down and looked at him with dangerous eyes.

Solo swallowed his spittle and said, “Since you don’t believe me, just kill me. Once you killed the Assassin King, your name will still shake the underground world, and by then, it will be even harder for you to not be famous. By then, no matter how low-key you wanna stay as, other people can still guess your power. The receptionist that saw you earlier that ran away already knows, and plus, there is surveillance here that already captured what you look like.”

Xu Cheng faintly smiled. “Looks like you still have a brain. It’s good that you have one, I was just afraid that you didn’t have one. Your intelligence saved your life this time, but you better keep yours and your men’s mouth shut, or I can find you again just like today.”

Then, Xu Cheng left.

Solo took a look around at his destroyed storefront that was broken beyond recognition, and then he looked at Xu Cheng walking away, he prayed for the Sankou Group: “I heard that people can only measure the people that SSS-class masters have killed by tons. Poor Sankou Group, I don’t know how they managed to piss off such a legendary monster.”
