Chapter 279: Chapter 278: The 3 Great Assassin Networks

"Shu Feng, don’t kill me!! I’m with the Luojia Conglomerate!! I’m Montes, its second-in-line heir!! If you dare kill me, the Luojia Conglomerate won’t spare you!!"

The Master of the Pitch-Black Hand shrieked wretchedly, his face contorted in pain and despair.

The Luojia Conglomerate was a Level 6 Conglomerate in the Jiasen Republic, one of the Three Great Empires, and also one of the most powerful top-level conglomerates in the nation.

Conglomerates in the Jiasen Republic were divided into ten levels, with Level 1 being the weakest and Level 10 the strongest. The Jiasen Republic had a total of five Level 10 conglomerates, and each one was no less powerful than the Qianyuan Republic’s Eight Great Clans.

The Luojia Conglomerate, a Level 6 Conglomerate, had power equivalent to a Third-Grade Noble Family from the Qianyuan Republic’s Upper Third-Grade Noble Families. It was a terrifying behemoth.

"So there really are major powers behind these assassin organizations! Montes, rest assured. I’m a very kind person. I won’t kill you; you still have a great deal of value."

Shu Feng smiled faintly, stepped forward, grabbed the two bodies of the Master of the Pitch-Black Hand, and tossed them directly into the Warrior Synthesis Nest to be converted.

"Master, everyone inside has been subdued!"

Luna skipped out of the warehouse, immediately hugging Shu Feng’s right arm. Her full, supple breasts pressed against his arm as she giggled coquettishly.

Ever since her [Rabbitman’s Hope] evolution, the little Rabbit-man Luna had grown more confident and become very clingy.

"Vixen! No, a rabbit demon!"

The moment Hassina walked out of the warehouse, she shot Luna a venomous glare and also grabbed onto Shu Feng’s right arm.

Andrea gave Shu Feng a cold glance from her perch in a large tree, then her figure vanished. As a Spiritual Spear Master, sniping was a required Skill. She was a top-level sniper, and her concealment abilities were first-rate.

When Shu Feng stepped into the warehouse, he saw members of the Pitch-Black Hand lying in pools of blood, barely breathing.

Demon Leopard said respectfully, "Master! Number 7 and Number 4 are dead. The rest are still alive!"

Although Shu Feng had ordered them to capture the enemies alive, accidents were bound to happen in such a life-or-death struggle. Number 7 and Number 4 had resisted too fiercely, so Luna had killed them in the process.

Shu Feng clapped Demon Leopard on the shoulder in praise. "Well done! Demon Leopard, you did a beautiful job. It’s all thanks to you that I was able to wipe out the Pitch-Black Hand in one fell swoop!"

Demon Leopard immediately dropped to one knee and said respectfully, "I, Demon Leopard, will give my all in your service until the day I die!"

In the Dark Realm, the strong have always ruled.

The reason Demon Leopard had served the Master of the Pitch-Black Hand was because he was powerful, unfathomably mysterious, and immensely wealthy.

Now that the Master of the Pitch-Black Hand had been subdued by Shu Feng, and with his own life in Shu Feng’s hands, Demon Leopard quickly adjusted his attitude and resolved to serve Shu Feng faithfully.

An hour later, in the conference room.

"Alright, everyone’s here. Let’s discuss how to hunt the assassins who want me dead. Montes, you first. If you fail to satisfy me, I’ll have you personally kill everyone you love most!"

Seated at the head of the conference table, Shu Feng swept his gaze across the eleven experts from the Pitch-Black Hand, his eyes finally landing on Montes as he smiled faintly.

Every one of the eleven Pitch-Black Hand experts had their hands stained with innocent blood. Montes had even tried to use Shu Feng’s parents to threaten him. Shu Feng was someone who always repaid favors, but he also liked to give people a taste of their own medicine, so naturally, he would give Montes some "special consideration."

Upon hearing this, a chill ran down the spines of the former Pitch-Black Hand assassins. Though every one of them was scum, they still had people they loved and cherished. The thought of being forced to kill those people with their own hands was enough to drive them to despair.

Shu Feng had already converted all the assassins from the Pitch-Black Hand. He only needed to issue a command. Even if they were unwilling, the assassins would be forced to personally kill the ones they cherished most!

Montes gave a bitter smile. "I have some dealings with Black Pupil, one of Deep Red Eye’s Five-Colored Pupils. I can arrange a meeting with him! Black Pupil is one of Deep Red Eye’s trusted confidants and one of the few who knows their true identity!"

After his conversion, Montes had used Secret Techniques several times in an attempt to resist Shu Feng’s control. Unfortunately, he was tortured to within an inch of his life each time. After the third attempt, he finally became obedient.

Shu Feng’s eyes turned cold as he said icily, "Is that it? What about the leader of the Slaughter Angel Net? What about Blood-colored Fang? And the top-level assassins from the other two major networks?"

"The leader of the Slaughter Angel Net has a mysterious background; I’ve never met them! I only came into contact with that network through my family’s arrangements. As for Blood-colored Fang, I’ve clashed with their people a few times and killed several of their lieutenants. I only have a basic understanding of their organizational structure." 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

"The other two major assassin networks are the Assassin’s House and Death Soul!"

"Most of the assassins in the Assassin’s House are independent contractors. I only have intel on some minor players. I wouldn’t dare to provoke their top-level assassins."

"The Death Soul assassin network is different from the other two. The Assassin’s House and the Slaughter Angel Net are platforms open to assassins worldwide, whereas Death Soul is a highly mysterious assassin organization with an ancient heritage. Legend says that Death Soul has even assassinated experts at the Spirit Saint Realm."

"I really don’t know much about Death Soul. I’ve only had contact with some of their outer members."

"There was once an assassin organization on the Slaughter Angel Net called Cruel Cheetah that tried to investigate Death Soul. In its prime, Cruel Cheetah even had a Spirit Venerable Realm expert at its helm and was the number one assassin organization on the Slaughter Angel Net. They captured many of Death Soul’s outer members, attempting to track down the organization and take its place."

"As a result, within a month, every member of Cruel Cheetah was assassinated, and the entire organization crumbled. That’s how powerful Death Soul is," Montes said.

Shu Feng glanced at the other members of the Pitch-Black Hand. "And you? Do any of you have a way to contact Blood-colored Fang?"

The other experts of the Pitch-Black Hand remained silent.

Blood-colored Fang was, after all, one of the three top-level assassin organizations on the Slaughter Angel Net. Contacting their outer members was simple enough, but reaching their leadership was extremely difficult.

If the leadership of Blood-colored Fang were that easy to contact, they would have been hunted down and exterminated by the world’s Extraordinary forces long ago. Organizations like the White Eagle Sword or the Guardian Flame would move to annihilate any Extraordinary assassin groups like the Pitch-Black Hand or Blood-colored Fang the moment they were discovered.

Shu Feng shot Montes an indifferent glance. "Montes, you handle the arrangements. Show me what you’re capable of. If you turn out to be useless, then there’s no need for you to exist."

A chill shot through Montes’s heart. He lowered his head and said respectfully, "Yes, Master! I will be sure to satisfy you!"
