Chapter 436: Chapter 436: The Service is Too Bad_1

Zhang Xian walked into the room, quickly scanning it with his mind, and then he started to sneer.

In this small suite, there were actually three people hiding. It seemed the middle-aged woman was not honest enough and was trying to pull a fast one on him.

Since that’s the case, he had no choice but to be brutal.

"Sit for a while."

The middle-aged woman, unaware that Zhang Xian had already discovered the three assassins in the room, smiled and said, "They’ll be here soon. Whatever you want to know, you can ask them directly."

"No need, they’re already here."

Zhang Xian laughed coldly and said, "I’ve given you a chance, but you didn’t appreciate it. Therefore, I can only fulfill my previous promise."

"You..."

The middle-aged woman’s face changed slightly. Just as she was about to speak, she suddenly felt a sharp pain in her body, as if there were blades stirring inside her, "Ah..."

"Don’t worry; you won’t be in pain for too long."

Zhang Xian laughed lightly, touched the middle-aged woman, and said, "Because, you will eventually die happily in this endless agony."

"Ah..."

The middle-aged woman screamed. However, after being touched by Zhang Xian, she could no longer make a sound.

"Kid, time to die..."

A middle-aged man suddenly rushed out of the room, a cold glint shimmering in his hand aimed straight for Zhang Xian’s throat.

"Trash..."

With a wave of Zhang Xian’s hand, a ball of flame bursted out.

The charging middle-aged man barely had time to react before he was enveloped by roaring flames. Without even having time to scream, he burned to ashes, achieving a true insta-kill.

"Damn..."

The other two middle-aged men charged out as well.

However, before they could even make a move, they saw their companion turned into ashes, their faces pale as they stood there, stunned.

Is this guy human or ghost? His companion has just turned into a pile of white ash?

It’s fair to say, it’s quite ironic! Just a moment ago, that guy was looking down on this man in front of them. Now that a fight actually broke out, he didn’t even last a single round.

Hmm, doesn’t seem right. It’s not because he didn’t last a round, it’s because he was burnt to ashes instantly. Didn’t even have a chance to land a hit.

"Huh..."

Zhang Xian turned his head and suddenly rushed to another middle-aged man, casting a ball of flame.

In an instant, another so-called assassin turned to ashes. Even while dying, he still didn’t understand what happened and how he turned into ashes so quickly.

"Damn it!"

The last middle-aged man swallowed then his legs started to shake uncontrollably, completely out of his control.

This guy is too terrifying. He’s certainly not human, not a human at all! Did their boss have a screw loose, asking him to deal with such a character?

"Want to try?" Zhang Xian looked at the middle-aged man.

At this point, the flame he cast doesn’t have much power. Innate masters can entirely resist it with their inner strength, and at most, they would only suffer minor injuries; some might not get hurt at all.

Innate masters might not be able to project their inner strength outside their body, but they can coat their bodies with it to resist the flame’s erosion.

However, even though innate masters might resist it, ordinary people certainly cannot. Under that high temperature and the unique corrosion, their bodies could instantly turn to ashes.

"No... please..."

The middle-aged man, frightened, backing away, looking at Zhang Xian in horror.

"Rest assured, I won’t kill you."

Zhang Xian laughed: "I know that the people in your organization are quite loyal and don’t care about their own lives. However, I will make you feel as if you can’t live or die, just like her."

"No... please..."

The middle-aged man glanced at the middle-aged woman who was in extreme pain. His face turned even paler.

If he had to choose, he would rather burn to ashes quickly, at least without any pain. Just looking at the pained middle-aged woman, it could give him goosebumps.

"Don’t want to?"

Zhang Xian laughed and said, "Fine, take me to your boss. I have something to discuss with him."

The middle-aged man shook his head and said, "I... I don’t know where he is. I can’t get in touch with him. If there’s anything, he contacts me."

Zhang Xian’s face grew cold as he grabbed the middle-aged man’s throat and asked, "Do you think I’m stupid, or do you think you’re playing me? If you can’t contact him, how do you report the situation? Are you working alone?"

The middle-aged man replied, "Brother, it’s not that I don’t want to take you, but we... we typically contact by email. It’s almost impossible to meet him."

"That secretive?"

Zhang Xian asked, "So you’re the person in charge of this operation?"

"Yes... yes, I am."

The middle-aged man nodded, "This task was taken on by my group, but we’re only responsible for accepting tasks, we don’t know anything else."

"Damn it..."

Zhang Xian cursed under his breath and then asked, "How many tasks has your organization taken on this time? What are they called?"

"I... Our organization is called Skynet, and we have two tasks this time."

Zhang Xian knitted his brows, "One is to assassinate someone from the Mo family, what’s the other one? Is it a young, female assassin?"

"H-how do you know?"

The middle-aged man was taken aback for a moment before saying, "I don’t know the details about the other group’s task, but there’s indeed a female assassin called Leng Shuang’er. That’s all information I can provide."

"Leng Shuang’er?"

Zhang Xian frowned again, asking, "Is she operating alone, or is she part of a group like you people?"

"Currently, it’s just her alone," replied the middle-aged man. "However, I wouldn’t know if their manpower will increase later on. If a task is dragged on for too long, they will surely send in more people."

"Alright then! You can go die now. I’ll make it quick for you since you’ve been honest," Zhang Xian suddenly gestured, and the middle-aged man was instantly burnt to ashes.

However, when he turned to the middle-aged woman, he didn’t use the same big fireball. That method consumed too much spiritual energy. He used almost all his spiritual energy on three big fireballs and could only resort to a spiritual energy slash.

After he finished off the middle-aged woman, he created a small flame to slowly burn her body. After that, he left the room and rushed home.

At this moment, Mo Shaoyun, Nangong Wu, Li Peichi, and Xiao Nan were still hiding in the basement.

There was no other choice. He could only keep one step ahead and for the moment, the four women had to stay concealed in a safe place to ensure they wouldn’t be used as bait to lure him out.

"Leng Shuang’er..."

On his way home, Zhang Xian kept repeating a certain name.

He wasn’t the kind of guy who’d get soft on a pretty face. However, Leng Shuang’er was an exception. She didn’t seem like an assassin at all, and that was why he didn’t kill her.

A person’s eyes can’t lie. The eyes of the middle-aged woman he just killed were very cold and made him uncomfortable. She was definitely a cunning and deceitful person.

But Leng Shuang’er was different, she had a pure look in her eyes, clear and deep as a calm lake.

Even though he was in danger and she didn’t overtly endanger anyone close to him, he couldn’t bring himself to kill her.

Women, with their undeniable charm, were hard for any man to completely obliterate.

"It seems finding out who is behind all this won’t be easy," Zhang Xian thought while driving his Ferrari.

This ’Skynet’ organization operated extremely cautiously. Subordinates and superiors did not meet face to face, and tasks were assigned entirely via email. Their secrecy was extreme.

Given these circumstances, if he wanted to find the person who is conducting this operation, he had to locate the headquarters of Skynet.

However, tracing an organization that only communicates via email will be no easy task.

"Huh?"

Suddenly, Zhang Xian thought of something and quickly dialed a number on his phone, inputting a document number.

"Hello, how may I assist you today?"

Zhang Xian chuckled, "Beautiful lady, have you had dinner yet? Have you eaten to your fill?"

"Cut the crap Zhang Xian, what do you want now?"

Zhang Xian raised an eyebrow, laughed and said, "My lady, why the anger? I am just worried about you! How could you treat someone who cares about you like this?"

"If you need help with something, say it. If not, I’m hanging up. Just because you’re handsome doesn’t mean I won’t scold you."

Zhang Xian was stunned, "My lady, how do you know I’m handsome?"

"I have your picture right here, you’re quite good-looking, like a pretty boy, but I don’t like pretty boys. So, if you bother me again, I’m going to curse you out."

"Damn, am I being looked down on?"

Zhang Xian gave a bitter smile and said, "Well, lady, don’t rush to curse someone, and don’t hang up. I need to ask you something."

"If it’s something serious, please go ahead and I’ll try to answer. But if it’s something trivial and annoying, you can get lost."

"No... no... my lady...."

Zhang Xian was rendered speechless by the woman’s rapid shift in demeanor. He wiped his nose and said with a smile, "I want to investigate an assassin organization called Skynet, the more detailed the better."

"Alright, I’ll look into it as soon as possible. I’ll call you back when I have the results, please wait."

Zhang Xian chuckled, ready to thank her. But before he could say anything, the woman had already hung up the phone, leaving him a bit stunned.

It must be said that the operator’s service was quite poor, hanging up on him just like that.

"Sigh..."

Zhang Xian let out a sigh, tossed his cell phone to the side, and continued driving.

Now, he felt the truth in Old Man Han’s words: he seemed to be in trouble, in a big way. According to what Old Man Han said, Leng Shuang’er had a lot of suitors within Skynet.

And generally, such popular figures possessed a high degree of lethal power. Even if not directly lethal, they could still create a substantial amount of destruction until the target was dead.

"I hope that woman isn’t planning to kill me," after giving a slight shudder, Zhang Xian hit the accelerator.

Instantly, the Ferrari roared, lurching forward at an incredibly speed, streaking across the road, which turned into a vivid red line in no time. The sight was quite an eye-catcher for the passersby.
