Chapter 1250 - 1325: Even
Zangtian, after consuming the Red Angel, was able to reach Legendary strength. When fighting recklessly, even the combined attack of several Legendary experts from Yanhuang Soul couldn't pin him down, which demonstrates his formidable power.Now, upon hearing news about the Blood Earl, there are four guys with strength comparable to Zangtian about to step into Huaxia. How could Lin Hai not be gravely concerned?
"The opposing side must have a significant purpose to dispatch Super Experts in such a grand manner." Lin Hai put away his outward frivolity and decadence, becoming very serious.
The Blood Earl solemnly nodded as well, "Four such formidable experts, hopefully they aren't targeting you."
"Targeting me?" Lin Hai was puzzled.
"You aren't aware, are you? The Hermit Alliance, one of the three major organizations of RX, has secretly placed an ultimate bounty on you."
Hearing the Blood Earl's words, Lin Hai was astonished.
"Ultimate bounty? Damn!"
He couldn't help but take a deep breath. In the assassin world, an ultimate bounty is rare even in a hundred years; it means the task will never be canceled, and the reward and bonus will always be the highest. If a new reward surpasses it, the ultimate bounty's reward will automatically be double.
Besides, the ultimate bounty also represents internal promotion in the assassin circle.
Being able to complete the ultimate bounty also means becoming the King of Assassins.
Back then, when Lin Hai killed the Netherworld Angel, it was an ultimate bounty, which is why the title of King Yan became the King of Assassins.
Anyone with an ultimate bounty on them is essentially marked for death; if they're not dead yet, it's only a matter of time.
"I really don't know how you offended the Hermit Alliance; luckily, the ultimate bounty is currently only targeted at assassins above S-level. Otherwise, you certainly would be famous worldwide." The Blood Earl curiously eyed Lin Hai; this guy tends to make enemies in a remarkable way, even when doing it quietly.
Lin Hai immediately put some distance between himself and the Blood Earl, watching him guardedly.
"Don't look at me like that." The Blood Earl said helplessly.
Lin Hai shook his head, half-jokingly, "Who knows if you might be tempted too? The stakes of an ultimate bounty are definitely significant; at the very least, the reward and bonus must be enough to make the hearts of assassins worldwide flutter."
"It's indeed tempting, a hundred billion US Dollars, and that's just for the reward. The bonus items are even more ruthless, reportedly being a precious potion that lets one reach the Half-step Human King level directly, with an effective time of thirty minutes."
Lin Hai took another deep breath.
A potion that maintains one at the Half-step Human King level for thirty minutes is absolutely rare in the world; it would be easy and enjoyable to exchange it for a small country.
Reaching the Half-step Human King level almost equals walking horizontally across the world.
One should know that Legendary level in front of it is no stronger than kindergartners.
Although it's only thirty minutes, that's enough time to do many things.
"Sh*t, just how did I offend the RX organization?" Lin Hai was speechless to the extreme.
"I'm starting to suspect the Hermit Alliance knows your identity as King Yan." The Blood Earl said this through Gang Qi Transmission.
Lin Hai shook his head and immediately dismissed the idea.
"If my identity as King Yan were truly exposed, RX wouldn't simply release an ultimate bounty. Following their organization's style, they would send all sorts of experts into Huaxia at any cost to assassinate me, while an endless array of schemes and conspiracies would certainly be directed at me."
The Blood Earl nodded, "Indeed, you're right. That's precisely how the RX organization dealt with your father back then."
"My father? You know my father?" Lin Hai was surprised once again.
The Blood Earl smiled, "I can live comfortably in Europe without relying on any organization, so of course, I have my intelligence network. After returning last time, I specifically investigated you and discovered that your father had a glorious past."
"With what you've said, I realize it now. I heard about how our Lin Family suddenly faced all sorts of upheavals back then, so much that even a vast super family couldn't protect my father, forcing him to flee and leaving no time to care for me."
"Now that I think about it, it should have been the RX organization targeting my father at all costs, employing a series of measures."
The Blood Earl nodded, "The RX organization is terrifying, so frightening that even I..."
Halfway through his words, his voice abruptly stopped, sighing deeply, his gaze complex as if hiding some unspeakable secret.
"What's wrong? Do you have a grudge against the RX organization as well?" Lin Hai noticed the anomaly.
The Blood Earl let out a bitter smile, "Don't ask. When the time comes, I'll tell you."
"By the way, you mentioned the Han Imperial Mausoleum last time; what treasure is inside it?" Lin Hai curiously asked.
"They say inside there's a treasure that could grant immortality."
Lin Hai was obviously doubtful, "How could there be such a thing in the world? If immortality were possible, Qin Shi Huang would have long united the entire world."
"What are you two talking about?"
Ouyang Xiaoya's sudden voice broke in as she caught up, having been walking behind with the other women earlier.
"Ah, nothing, nothing." Lin Hai was startled by his wife and quickly responded.
The Blood Earl promptly covered up, offering Ouyang Xiaoya a standard gentlemanly salute from ancient European nobility, humbly saying, "Respected and beautiful Miss Ouyang, your beauty is always more enchanting than the moon."
"Mr. Xue, nice to see you too." Ouyang Xiaoya was quite fond of the cultured aura of ancient nobility emanating from the Blood Earl.
"Hey, you beast, don't change the subject. What were you two mysteriously talking about earlier? Mr. Xue is a cultured man; don't corrupt him with your vulgar words."
The CEO pressed on.
Lin Hai rolled his eyes. Does this mean he's not a cultured person? He decided to tease his wife.
"We were discussing mobile games."
"Mobile games? You play those too?" Ouyang Xiaoya was a bit surprised.
Lin Hai nodded, "Of course."
"What mobile game were you playing?" Ouyang Xiaoya asked further.
The Blood Earl also quickly supported the lie, quickly thinking of what he knew about mobile games: "This is the era of mobile internet, and mobile games are seen as a fashionable, advanced product, so..."
Before he finished, Lin Hai interjected, "I think playing 'shooting planes' is also a mobile game, after all, it involves using your hands."
This answer almost made the plan-supporting Blood Earl spit blood!
Sh*t, his reputation, his gentlemanly demeanor!
The blush on Ouyang Xiaoya's cheeks deepened. She spat fiercely, biting down: "Scoundrel! Men, not a single good one!"
With that, she turned to leave; continuing to listen to the two men discuss their peculiar "mobile game" was unbearably dirty for a pure-hearted girl.
"I've noticed your way of changing the topic with women is unique," The Blood Earl said, staring at Lin Hai.
Lin Hai chuckled, "Sometimes this method is very effective. Let's continue discussing the previous topic."
"The mobile game?" inquired the Blood Earl.
"Ahem, I was talking about the RX matter..." Lin Hai was at a loss in response to the counter-question.
...
Meanwhile, in Yanjing, at the headquarters of Yanhuang Soul, in front of a massive metallic iron gate in the highest secretive closed-off area, Piao Ba was kneeling respectfully with a look of humiliation, awaiting the person's reply inside, wishing to request the assassination of Lin Hai.
