(Thank you to the old friend Wanwu Diaoling for the reward support, thank you for your consistent support and company, thank you!)

"Your friend?"

Jin Xiaohan felt an itch in his brain, and it took him a while to react. He looked at Liu San with a pale face, "Are you saying that Xiao Yi is your friend?"

"Correct, but rest assured, as long as the amount you offer is sufficient, I will also kill my friend. Will you kill or not?"

Liu San said indifferently.

"I..."

Jin Xiaohan felt a sudden bitterness in his throat, a kind of bitterness he had never experienced before, which welled up from his heart to his throat. He had spent several million to hire a hitman to kill Xiao Yi, only to find out that the hitman was Xiao Yi’s friend!

Even if he was slow-witted, he knew he had been played. The so-called three lives for three million must definitely be a lie. If Xiao Yi was his friend, would he still kill his underlings?

Confronting Liu San’s gaze and looking at his face that seemed always to appear as unexpressive as the dead, he kept trying but could not figure out how to respond.

"I’m asking you!"

Liu San, observing the splendid expression on Jin Xiaohan’s face, felt an indescribable joy in his heart and a hint of mockery surfaced in his eyes. Just you, a kid, daring to target Xiao Yi? But he had no intention of letting him off just like that. He had never let off anyone lightly who had attempted to harm his friend and, until now, had not forgotten the idea of targeting his friend.

His tone suddenly turned chilling, and his gaze became sharp and cold.

"No... no killing!"

Jin Xiaohan, sensing that trace of coldness in Liu San’s eyes, was startled by his chilling voice and shivered violently, hurriedly shaking his head and waving his hands.

What a joke, how could he know whether Liu San would really kill Xiao Yi or not?

Besides, even if he was truly willing to kill, he could not take such a big risk. Fifty million as a deposit, and paying the full amount meant one billion, didn’t it? Even if he wanted to take the risk, he couldn’t come up with that much money!

"Not killing anymore?"

Liu San’s eyes suddenly turned colder, "Does that mean you were joking with me?"

"No... no, I wasn’t joking with you, I... I don’t have that much money, really, I beg you, Mr. Assassin, I truly don’t have that much money, I really wouldn’t dare to joke with you!"

Jin Xiaohan’s face turned from pale to ashen in an instant, his eyes filled with a pleading look as he begged fervently.

"So, it seems that you truly don’t have the money." Liu San nodded, indicating he believed him.

"Yes, Mr. Assassin, I really don’t have the money!"

Jin Xiaohan instantly felt a wave of relief and repeatedly said so.

However, before he could fully relax, his soul was once again scattered by the next words from Liu San.

"Since you can’t hire me to kill my friend, then he remains my friend. Since you wanted to kill my friend, for my friend’s sake, I will have to kill you instead."

Without knowing when, the curved blade resembling a crescent moon, sharp and emanating a chilling aura, had reappeared in Liu San’s hand. With no visible movement of his wrist, the chilling curved knife began to spin rapidly in his palm, forming clusters of cold, pure white light.

"Please spare my life, assassin," I cried, "I will never dare again, I will never dare to think of killing your friend anymore, I dare not!"

Jin Xiaohan looked at the essence in Liu San’s hand, feeling utterly chilled to the core.

Smelling the odor emanating from Jin Xiaohan once again, a deep disdain surfaced in Liu San’s eyes.

Xiao Yi, you’ve really given me a tough problem!

Almost subconsciously, Liu San prepared to end it all with one cut, swiftly killing Jin Xiaohan. To him, such a coward was just a waste of air.

But as he struck, he controlled his desire, for he no longer had the mood to toy with him any longer in this cramped space, where the scent was truly unpleasant.

"Hmph, to prove your reluctance, leave some evidence behind."

Liu San snorted coldly, not waiting for Jin Xiaohan to say anything. His knife flashed and he chopped towards Jin Xiaohan.

Feeling the bright glare of the blade whistling towards him, Jin Xiaohan felt an immense chill rising from the bottom of his heart. He thought he was about to die, his vision darkened, and he fainted from fear.

"What a waste!"

Liu San paused for a moment, then coldly snorted. With a swift motion, two of Jin Xiaohan’s fingers fell to the ground.

"Consider yourself lucky!"

With his task complete, Liu San slowly put away the knife, gently wiping a faint trace of blood from the blade. He looked at Jin Xiaohan, who still hadn’t woken up, with disgust, then turned and pushed open the car door, quickly disappearing into the night.

"Ah!"

The pain is intense when it involves the fingers. Just as Liu San’s figure vanished into the night, a severe pain finally reached the central nervous system of the unconscious Jin Xiaohan. It shocked him awake, causing him to let out a scream.

"Ah...!"

Upon waking, Jin Xiaohan realized what had happened. Seeing two fingers missing from his hand, he let out another agonizing scream that traveled far and wide into the night sky!

.........

Xiao Yi felt as though he had fallen into a boundless, dark abyss. In this abyss, there was a deathly silence. In this terribly quiet space, he wanted to shout, but he couldn’t make a sound. He wanted to struggle, but it was as if he had no strength at all in his body, completely unable to fight. He could only lie helplessly, quietly watching the silent, boundless darkness.

Time passed indeterminately, and finally, he grew completely numb, feeling an unmatched exhaustion. He slowly closed his eyes, not attempting to struggle anymore, surrendering to the fatigue, and drifted off to sleep... 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

He didn’t know how long he slept, but suddenly, he seemed to hear some chaotic noises near his ears.

It seemed like people were talking, or perhaps not... But the noise was loud and unpleasant...

Xiao Yi slowly opened his eyes.

As he opened his eyes, a piercing light shone forth, making Xiao Yi involuntarily close his eyes again, and he raised his hand to block the blinding light.

"This..."

It took a while for Xiao Yi to get used to the light and reopen his eyes. As he faced everything in front of him, his expression froze completely! (To be continued.
