Chapter 1078 Dealing with the Silent Rippers(2)


After pondering for some time, Assassin Kong spoke in a grim voice, "One of our brothers has died already, and he was a 5th level Spirit King."


"What?!" Steward Jin exclaimed out loud after hearing this shocking information.


"Quiet!" Assassin Kong glared at him.


He then continued, "This Xiao Yang is clearly much more difficult to kill than you thought, so we are asking for an increased payment."


"How much more are you asking?" Steward Jin asked with a solemn expression.


"10 million."Assassin Kong blurted this number out without any hesitation.


"T-Ten million…" Steward Jin swallowed nervously.


He was already being extremely generous with 20 million spirit stones to get rid of a child, so adding another 10 million definitely made him hesitate.


'Since that Xiao Yang has already killed one of their members, they won't stop hunting him even if I refuse, but that is a very risky decision, especially since I gave them this mission.' Steward Jin sighed inwardly.


He was confident that the Silent Rippers would go after Yuan even if he doesn't pay the extra ten million, but he could be killed by them if he took advantage of this knowledge.


In the end, he had to bite the bullet and agree to pay an extra 10 million spirit stones.


"You can send the money to the same location. We will pick it up in two days." Assassin Kong said.


"I understand."


Assassin Kong left the restaurant shortly after.


"Thank you, Ming Lao." Steward Jin handed a hundred spirit stones to Ming Lao for his work before leaving the restaurant as well.


Meanwhile, at the Tian Family, Tian Yanyu sat in her room with Feng Yuxiang sitting not far away.


"It's been several days since then. When will the Silent Rippers come? This wait is making me anxious. I cannot concentrate on my cultivation under this stress!" Tian Yanyu sighed out loud.


"You've been complaining about this since the first day. When will you stop?" Feng Yuxiang said.


And she continued in a sighing voice, "Why did I get stuck with you?"


"What's wrong with me? Besides my 'complaining'." Tian Yanyu asked.


"Hmph." Feng Yuxiang coldly snorted, and she said, "Don't think I have forgotten already. You kissed my Young Master without his permission. If he wasn't helping you, I would've burned you to death on the spot at that time."


"Seriously…? It's just a kiss…" Tian Yanyu said.


"Just a kiss?! Do you know who the Young Master is?!" Feng Yuxiang exclaimed.


"No, I don't. If you tell me, I will." Tian Yanyu smiled.


"..."


Feng Yuxiang became speechless, mostly because she also didn't know Yuan's true background, and his prior lives didn't count.


"The Young Master is someone—"


Just as she opened her mouth, Feng Yuxiang suddenly halted her words, and her face turned serious.


"They are here," she said in a solemn voice.


"T-The Silent Rippers?!" Tian Yanyu immediately jumped to her feet and retrieved her weapon.


Feng Yuxiang nodded, "Yes, but there's something odd about them. They're only focusing on the Young Master for some reason."


"On Yuan? Will he be fine alone?" Tian Yanyu asked, as Xiao Hua was with Tian Xianzu and Lan Yingying was with the servants and Old Zou.


"Yes. No matter how many people come for him, he will be fine." Feng Yuxiang said with a confident look on her face.


Meanwhile, a few rooms away from Tian Yanyu's room, when he noticed the presence surrounding the Tian Family's residence, Yuan calmly opened the door and went outside to the courtyard.


'Seventeen people, all Spirit Kings, huh.' Yuan assessed all of the assassins with his divine sense that covered the entire house and more.


When the assassins saw his action, they quickly realized that their presence was exposed.


Since their target is already aware of their presence, they decided to show themselves, surrounding Yuan in the courtyard a moment later.


"Are you the bastard who killed Brother Mao?" One of them asked him in a cold voice.


"Is that the name of the assassin from a few days ago?" Yuan asked them. "If so, yes, I killed him. Don't worry, I made sure it was a quick and painless death."


The assassins' trembled in anger when they heard his words, and they all released their aura, which bore down on Yuan like a mountain.


However, Yuan remained standing there with a calm look on his face, almost as if he couldn't even feel the pressure.


This surprised the assassins. There were 4 peak Spirit Kings amongst them, yet they cannot make a single Spirit King bow down with their pressure? Something was wrong here.


"So you're saying that you don't have any bodyguards? That you killed Brother Mao by yourself?"


Yuan showed them a provocative smile and said, "A weakling like him— it didn't take much effort."


"YOU BASTARD!"


One of the seventeen assassins couldn't hold his rage any longer and lunged at Yuan.


Without even turning to look at the attacker, Yuan calmly dodged his strike before catching him by the neck.


The others immediately went into an offensive position when they saw this.


"If you're smart, you will let him go," said a skinny man.


"If I do, will you spare my life?" Yuan asked him.


"..."


Assassin Kong didn't respond— he couldn't.


"I figured." Yuan mumbled, and without hesitation, he crushed the neck of the assassin in his grasp.


"KILL HIM!" Assassin Kong roared with bloodshot eyes.


The others sprang into action, and they attacked Yuan from multiple directions.


Daggers, throwing knives, hidden weapons— the assassins attacked Yuan with pretty much every weapon used by assassins.


However, almost as though his body was made of the world's strongest steel, the weapons bounced off his body.


"What the fuck?!" The assassins were surprised when they saw this.


"He must have some kind of spiritual treasure protecting him!" They quickly came to this conclusion.


"Keep attacking! It can only endure so much!" Assassin Kong said.


Thus, the assassins continued to attack Yuan while he casually stood there without a care in the world.


"What in heaven's name…" Tian Yanyu was left speechless when she witnessed this scene with her divine sense.


"I told you that he would be fine." Feng Yuxiang said with a smile.
