Chapter 1214 - 340: Cloud Descending Sect Incident (3)
So is he still planning to kill someone?
Then I guess he still doesn’t know the Cloud Descending Sect wants to kill their woman from the Immortal Robe Pavilion. Which means the Cloud Descending Sect hasn’t made a move yet?
Hehe.
That’s just perfect, both sides’ money is in the bag.
Finally, the old man pondered for a while, entirely for Chen Weiran’s sake, he pretended not to know about the Celestial Capital Department’s matter, and asked, "Who do you want to kill?"
Oh, for crying out loud, talking to this old geezer is really such a hassle. Yuchi calmly said, "No big shot, just the Director of the Celestial Capital Department in Jiangzhou City, Chen Weiran."
After saying this, he was quite bashful.
The old man: "..."
Shit!
Oh boy!
Damn it!
I mean, seriously, what’s going on here, buddy, are you kidding me? You brought Chen Weiran over here, and now you want to kill Chen Weiran? Is this even possible? So does Chen Weiran not know about this at all?!
The old man’s eyes were practically popping out of their sockets.
He stared at Yuchi in shock, unable to believe his innocent dog’s eyes were faced with this.
"Who to kill?" The old man croaked again.
Yuchi didn’t answer immediately, but smiled and waved to Chen Weiran, who was strolling away in the distance.
Chen Weiran was oblivious to this matter, standing not too far from the shop. He had no desire to get involved, so when he saw Yuchi wave, he awkwardly waved back with a forced smile.
In his heart, he cursed: What’s this got to do with me, you damned Yuchi, don’t drag this onto me, once you push me too far, I’ll have to make a move against you too.
Then Yuchi turned back to the old man: "Yes, that’s him, the Director of the Celestial Capital Department in Jiangzhou City, Chen Weiran. I assume I don’t need to give you a portrait, right? Just go ahead and kill him, or is it that your Cloud Descending Sect doesn’t dare to kill this Director of the Celestial Capital Department?"
"No way, senior, no way!"
"No way Cloud Descending Sect wouldn’t dare to just kill him, right?"
Yuchi said sarcastically.
The old man immediately felt displeased upon hearing this.
The Cloud Descending Sect has killed all sorts of people, once the money is in place, they’ll even kill their own Sect Leader just to show you. But you, young fellow, are seriously scary, bringing the target directly here and announcing your intentions in front of him? Goodness, you really are something, is your heart even made of flesh?
With no options, the old man could only say: "We have a rule at the Cloud Descending Sect, our prices are non-negotiable; either take it or leave it."
Yuchi nodded: "Senior, you may proceed."
The old man felt a little satisfied with Yuchi’s attitude: "We need a total of one hundred thousand silver taels, fifty thousand as a down payment. Even if you later decide not to kill Chen Weiran, the deposit is non-refundable. Once we take him down, you give us the remaining fifty thousand."
Yuchi understood.
He handed over the silver taels, the old man counted them, indeed there was no problem, fifty thousand meant fifty thousand, not a single tael less.
Got to admit, the Commerce Association President must have pocketed quite a sum, pulling out fifty thousand just like that, very impressive.
Yuchi then asked: "I wonder how long it will take?"
Implying:
Scoundrel, you took the money but what if you don’t deliver? Always stalling by saying it’s not time yet, what to do then? Isn’t this just like passing the buck? Then you’d want more money on top of that, damn, am I just being scammed directly here? There’s no anti-scam app in this world.
The old man, exasperated, said: "At most, a month. If it’s unresolved in a month, I’ll refund you tenfold. The Cloud Descending Sect is confident in this regard."
"Oh!"
Oh, a ten-fold refund? Yuchi understood: "So, senior, what’s my price at the Cloud Descending Sect? I know it’s not great to ask, but I’m curious how much I’m worth. Surely, it’s not less than Chen Weiran?"
Is it even possible to have a comparing mindset about this? Are you also going to compare who has the slickest sliding coffin after death? The old man exasperatedly said: "Since you’ve asked, and you’re our client, I’ll just tell you. Your life is also worth one hundred thousand silver taels."
Yuchi: "Tch."
The old man: "..."
There it is, there it is! This guy spat on hearing his own price, really going at it with Chen Weiran?
And Yuchi was speechless, he might not be pursuing bounties like the straw-hatted pirates or anything, but honestly speaking, one hundred thousand is really too low, surely his worth is far beyond that now. Yet, these people really give no face, what can one hundred thousand do?
Can’t even buy a dog.
However, looking on the bright side, he used to be worth ten thousand, and now it’s a hundred thousand, so there’s definitely an increase, albeit a small one. This indicates his identity concealment is working well, as at least no one knows his true capabilities or arsenal.
