King of Assassins-Chapter 808 - 597: Sudden Outbreak (Part 2)

The man in the armed exoskeleton armor stood behind Gao Xuan, radiating obvious hostility. This was clearly a warning to Gao Xuan.

Following him in, Little Dog stood by Gao Xuan's side.

The leader of the tenth group, Old Hei, also stood behind Gao Xuan. He felt awkward here, deliberately standing in the very back.

"Deputy Minister, please have some tea. This is top-grade Cloud Lake Tea from the Cloud Light Star Realm..."

Gao Xuan picked up the teacup and glanced at it. The tea was a pure, translucent green, with a light and elusive fragrance, looking like fine tea.

But he didn't drink it, setting the teacup down casually.

Old Dog smiled and took a sip, "Deputy Minister, rest assured, it's premium tea, no issues."

As the leader of the Dog Gang, Old Dog was ultimately displeased with Gao Xuan. Although polite, he couldn't help but make a light jab at Gao Xuan.

Gao Xuan didn't mind the small taunt and said, "I'm here because I want to ask you something."

"Please speak." Gao Xuan was blunt, but Old Dog remained courteous.

"Someone took something from the Holy Hall and ran to Mingjing. Do you have any information?"

Old Dog hurriedly shook his head, "We're just businessmen; we wouldn't dare be involved with the Holy Hall's items. We know our limits."

"Oh, you do have limits; I didn't notice."

Gao Xuan said, "Just now, you wanted me to hand over my weapons. What, are you looking down on me?"

As soon as he said this, Little Dog and the glamorous woman both looked angry.

Old Dog's face didn't look good either. The matter seemed to have passed, but Gao Xuan wouldn't let it go.

He had already decided to get rid of Gao Xuan but couldn't act in his own place.

He pondered for a moment and said, "Deputy Minister, the earlier incident wasn't directed at you. It was just the kids being ignorant and inflexible."

Old Dog stood up and bowed slightly to Gao Xuan, "I apologize."

Gao Xuan smiled lightly but stayed silent.

Old Dog immediately understood and gestured to the glamorous woman, "Go, transfer two million to the Deputy Minister to calm his nerves."

Gao Xuan politely declined, "That's not necessary."

Old Dog smiled and said, "It's our sincere apology, please accept it."

As they spoke, the electronic bracelet on Gao Xuan's wrist vibrated slightly, projecting a light screen. It showed that Gao Xuan's account had received two million credit points.

"The boss is generous, so I won't be polite."

Gao Xuan also smiled broadly. This Old Dog indeed had some courage, giving away two million just like that.

Although shady dealings are profitable, two million is still a significant sum. Old Dog had such a large gang to support, with so many shareholders to distribute to. It's not an easy task.

With the money received, Gao Xuan became much more agreeable.

Old Dog realized he was dealing with a greedy person. His previous bold demeanor was just a way to extort him.

Though he felt disdain and anger, how dare anyone extort him? Can he still run his business? 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

Old Dog sneered inwardly. His money wasn't so easy to take. In a few days, he decided to find someone to eliminate this guy.

Without killing a couple of chickens, the other monkeys will want to jump over!

Old Dog was determined to kill Gao Xuan, but his face appeared even friendlier.

The glamorous woman and Little Dog, knowing Old Dog's character by his toothy smile, realized he intended to kill.

The two were also secretly pleased; this punk was too arrogant, shouting at their gang's headquarters, really thinking he was somebody!

Old Hei didn't see through much; he just envied Gao Xuan a bit. Just by being bold, he extorted two million. That money was way too easy to earn.

He thought of negotiating with the Dog Gang himself later, maybe increasing the monthly dues.

"This time, the Holy Hall is pursuing two main fugitives, one named Tiancang and the other called Celestial Prison, both powerful Apostles of the White Tiger Cult..."

After receiving the money, Gao Xuan patiently explained the whole situation to Old Dog.

He spoke in detail, interspersed with a lot of polite chatter.

Old Dog, though impatient, maintained a serious listening demeanor, occasionally flattering Gao Xuan.

In terms of posture, Old Dog was impeccable. Even the leader of the tenth group, Old Hei, felt that Old Dog's attitude was excellent.

Old Hei knew full well that this Old Dog wasn't to be trifled with. Just in the basement of this building, there was a Death Arena.

Various death matches were held year-round. Those Death Arena Fighters had formidable combat power. Old Dog also had two action teams specifically for wiping out enemies, employing dark and bloody methods.

Old Dog couldn't be called the underground Emperor, but he was indeed a supreme ruler in the East District's underworld. Even publicly, he was a big company boss, a billionaire.

Gao Xuan, with a middle management position in a company, might not be able to overpower him publicly, let alone the fact that the Dog Gang was entirely at Old Dog's command, all military force directed by him. It could be said that the Dog Gang was Old Dog's private army.

The Field Department wasn't something Gao Xuan could randomly direct. The disparity in power usage between the two sides was substantial.

Old Hei thought Gao Xuan was too arrogant and pretentious. The key was that Gao Xuan had no solid foundation, only barely considered as part of the Xu Family's periphery. Acting this arrogantly would lead to a sooner or later violent death.

Gao Xuan rambled on for nearly twenty minutes, even tiring Old Hei.

Suddenly, Gao Xuan turned his head and called, "Old Hei, go out. I have important matters to discuss with the boss."

Old Hei was a bit surprised but dared not disobey. As the heavy armored door closed, Gao Xuan was the only outsider left in the room.

The glamorous woman and Little Dog both showed a hint of murderous intent in their gazes toward Gao Xuan.

Old Dog, however, maintained a gentle smile, "We're all good friends. Deputy Minister, feel free to speak. What I can do, I won't refuse."

Gao Xuan asked, "Tiancang and Celestial Prison are wanted fugitives by the Holy Hall. Why are you hiding them and opposing the Holy Hall?"

Gao Xuan spoke casually, but to Old Dog, it was a thunderous shock, changing his expression instantly, "Deputy Minister, you can't say such things lightly."

He felt his earlier tone was too harsh, suppressing his inner rage and speaking as calmly as he could, "We have nothing to do with those two you're talking about."

Old Dog looked aggrieved, "Deputy Minister, someone must be framing us. You must advocate for us."

He turned to the glamorous woman beside him, "Lady Li, transfer another two million to the Deputy Minister."

Gao Xuan frowned, "What do you mean by this?"

Old Dog grinned apologetically, "I mean nothing else. It's just that the Deputy Minister and the brothers are working so hard. This small sum can't express our sincerity, just think of it as a treat for drinks."

Gao Xuan shook his head slightly, "These private matters are trivial compared to official business. I can't help you for hiding two fugitives of the Holy Hall."

Old Dog's face turned colorfully, glaring at Gao Xuan, "Deputy Minister, tell me what you want. You're being very unprincipled."

"In Mingjing and the East Continent, there's only one rule, and that's the company's rule."

Gao Xuan said indifferently, "Do you really think you're in a position to lecture me about rules?"

Old Dog sensed something was off and without hesitation, he struck towards Gao Xuan with a fierce palm.

With this Fiery Flame Palm, Source Power instantly condensed into high heat. In an instant, his hand was blazing red. At this range, even if Gao Xuan were made of iron, he'd have a big hole melted by the Palm Force.

A cold flash silently streaked by, and Old Dog's movement stopped, with a vertical blood trail appearing on his forehead.

After a pause, Old Dog's head suddenly split into two halves.

This sudden turn of events stunned Little Dog, making him cold all over. Lady Li beside him emitted a piercing scream.

No one expected Gao Xuan would flip out and kill suddenly, and what's more, that he'd kill Old Dog with just one move!
