Chapter 573: Chapter 356: Arrogance to the Extreme!

Left eye twitching signals wealth, right eye twitching signals disaster.

Phoenix touched his twitching right eye, thinking, how could he believe in such feudal superstitions?

He should rephrase it to "Left eye twitching signals disaster, right eye twitching signals wealth."

At this thought, Phoenix’s mood immediately brightened up.

"Yu Yang, what are you doing?" Wang Boxuan, holding his empty glass, looked at him and said, "All the guys have finished their drinks, but you haven’t touched yours. What’s up? Saving it to feed the fish?"

"Just thinking about something," Phoenix laughed heartily and lifted his glass to drink it all in one gulp.

"Could it be that you’re thinking about other girls? Xue Xue is right here beside you, and you’re still thinking about other girls... Xue Xue is hurt." The girl with skin white as snow pressed her small face against Phoenix’s chest, looking aggrieved.

"Men, huh? Who doesn’t want to eat from the bowl and look into the pot?" Phoenix’s hand reached toward the girl’s open chest, laughing as he said, "But rest assured, at least at this moment, my heart is with you."

Phoenix hid his true intentions very well, so well that even those around him merely thought of him as a buddy to drink and play with women.

Inside the Qin Family, however, he was highly regarded. Mr. Qin often called him to his side to give advice.

Some are meant to stand in the limelight as the shiny new toy, others are meant to lurk behind the scenes as the crafty old fox.

Clearly, Phoenix chose the latter.

Seeing Phoenix’s actions, Wang Boxuan moved closer with a lecherous look and whispered, "How about it, Young Master Qin? This place isn’t bad, is it?"

"Not bad. We should come here more often."

"Indeed, we’ve grown tired of other places. Shouldn’t we find more fun places for Young Master Qin?"

"Young Master Qin should always look for Xue Xue," the girl said coquettishly.

"Don’t worry, I’ll take you with me tonight. The women I fancy, I definitely won’t mistreat."

"You better give it your all to serve our Young Master Qin well," Wang Boxuan advised at the side, being Phoenix’s follower, obviously wanting to make sure his boss was well entertained.

"Stop it, I don’t know anything," Xue Xue said with a bashful face.

Phoenix and Wang Boxuan exchanged glances, then burst into laughter.

They liked men who pretended to know when they didn’t, and women who knew but pretended not to.

The former held a charm of its own, the latter a flavor all their own.

Bang!

The door to the private room was forcefully pushed open, the solid wood door swinging in with such force it bounced back immediately.

The loud noise startled everyone in the room, causing the drinking, singing, breast-grabbing, and thigh-touching masters and mistresses to jump, all eyes turning in one direction.

Who dared to cause trouble here?

The Assassin, wearing a black Inspection Uniform, stood at the door with a pleasant smile, about to speak when a singer’s melancholic voice filled the air.

The Assassin slightly furrowed his brow, but Shen Yan immediately ran to turn off the speaker.

The Assassin appreciated Shen Yan’s understanding and, still smiling, surveyed the room, then said, "Sorry to interrupt everyone’s fun. We’re from the Monitoring Bureau, here to ask a suspect a few questions."

"I don’t care what bureau you’re from, get out right now."

"Do you know where you are? Do you know who owns this place?"

"Beat it, and best not make trouble for yourself..."

------

These young masters, coming from incredibly distinguished backgrounds, were disturbed from their entertainment and started raging, cursing without pause before the Assassin could finish his words.

"We’re just laying around doing nothing, what do we have to do with whatever bureau you’re from?"

"We’re not officials; you can’t control us..."

Sitting amidst the crowd, Phoenix’s expression grew dark as he observed him, wondering why this disaster had come.

Could it be that incident had erupted?

Impossible. They couldn’t possibly trace it back to him.

All leads had been severed, and besides, he wasn’t personally involved in the matter.

Perhaps he wasn’t here for him?

"It seems I haven’t introduced myself clearly," the Assassin said, his face devoid of anger, still radiant with the smile he had upon entering, "I’m Tang Fei, the Assassin from the Monitoring Bureau."

"Assassin, and so what..." Zhao Dezhi, the son of the deputy director of Phoenix City Police Station, was about to retort when he suddenly recalled a recent incident.

Yu Huoshui was dead, killed by the Assassin.

The Assassin from the Monitoring Bureau, who had publicly beaten Yu Huoshui at Winding Water Garden before taking him for questioning at the Monitoring Bureau, and eventually executing him...

How does my family compare to the Yu Family? Not even close.

This man, the Assassin, was not someone to be provoked.

Others, upon hearing the name "Assassin," sobered up quite a bit; they widened their eyes trying to get a careful look at the handsome man standing before them...

This was the fearsome Grim Reaper?

"Keep a low profile lately."

"Don’t provoke the Assassin."

"Stay clear of people from the Monitoring Bureau..."

------

Their elders’ nagging words still echoed in their ears, only to run into this plague-god themselves now.

Yes, with Yu Huoshui’s death, the Assassin’s influence had grown even greater.

A man that not even the Yu Family could stop—what chance did they have against him?

"Plague-god," "Assassin," "Black Dog," "Executioner," "Grim Reaper"...

These were all the nicknames outsiders had given the Assassin, based on their personal grudges and likes.
