Chapter 341 - Chapter 341 Chapter 337 Huge Harvest

Chapter 341: Chapter 337: Huge Harvest Chapter 341: Chapter 337: Huge Harvest “You big oaf…”

Fang Xiaocao was at a loss for words.

Who checks someone’s breathing by poking their nostril directly with a finger?

Is this checking for breath?

Clearly, the Store Manager is not quite dead!

With Taotie’s fingers, which are like mallets, it’s not just the dying Store Manager at risk.

A healthy person could be poked to death by one of his fingers.

Fang Xiaocao gave Taotie a disdainful glance.

Annoyed, she said, “Stop fooling around, and give him a quick end, lest the old guy comes to and you’ll have to fight him again.”

These top assassins, especially those who are good at close combat, are incredibly tenacious, just like cockroaches that can’t be killed.

Don’t be fooled by the Store Manager’s current state of spasm; as long as he’s not dead yet, if you leave him here unattended, who knows when he might recover.

He would still be able to get up and kill people or loot goods.

“Heh heh~”

Taotie let out a sleazy chuckle.

With a “plop,” he pulled out his finger.

And in doing so, induced two streams of nosebleed from the Store Manager.

Clasping his hand into a fist, Taotie lifted his sack-like fist high above and aimed at the Store Manager’s nose, then smashed down with vicious force.

The fist fell, hitting the Store Manager’s nose with a crisp “snap.”

The Store Manager’s once upturned nose was now flaccid, crushed by Taotie’s blow.

The nasal bone didn’t just break, but was directly shattered by Taotie.

Struck by such a heavy blow, the Store Manager did not wake up, apparently quite aggravated by Fang Xiaocao.

It didn’t seem like an act.

Seeing that Taotie was about to throw another punch,

Fang Xiaocao couldn’t bear to watch anymore.

To kill someone is one thing; there’s no need to torment them like this. Just as Taotie’s second punch was about to land, Fang Xiaocao shouted, “Stop!”

“You big oaf, hold your hand!”

Hearing Fang Xiaocao’s shout, Taotie abruptly halted his swinging fist, hovering it over the Store Manager’s head, then turned to look at Fang Xiaocao, his face full of confusion: “Princess Your Highness, what’s wrong, is it not good for me to beat him to death?”

Fang Xiaocao gave Taotie a disdainful look.

This oaf was beyond help.

Fang Xiaocao ignored Taotie and took out a Flying Dagger from the Dagger Bag, her hand trembling slightly.

Whoosh–

The Flying Dagger zipped past!

It lodged in the Store Manager’s throat.

Thus fell the mighty Store Manager.

His cause of death is almost ironic, having been angered into unconsciousness.

“Tom, Hummingbird, you guys go and take control of all sorts of electronic equipment at this base and intercept intelligence.”

“Taotie, take Hei Ta to search for any fish that slipped through the net.”

“I have Kasaya for protection, so don’t worry about my safety.”

Fang Xiaocao pulled out her Flying Dagger, cleaned it on the corpse of the Store Manager, and meticulously made post-battle arrangements.

“Yes!”

Everyone responded in unison.

Tom and Hummingbird split up to search for the control room and server room within the base.

Taotie gestured to Hei Ta to follow with a curled finger and said in English, ‘Follow me,’ and then began to search for any remaining enemies with the same intensity as bandits raiding a village.

Hei Ta looked at Fang Xiaocao, and only after she nodded did he obediently follow behind Taotie, joining the search.

Fang Xiaocao patted Kasaya’s big head and didn’t go anywhere, choosing to wait right there.

One hour later!

Tom and Hummingbird returned to Fang Xiaocao’s side. Tom chuckled, “Princess Your Highness, I’ve modified the systems inside the base. Now, this base belongs to us.”

Hearing Tom’s words, Fang Xiaocao nodded, “Well done!”

Speaking of which, Fang Xiaocao turned her gaze toward Hummingbird.

“Hummingbird, how about you?”

Hummingbird smiled slightly, “I managed to save all the surveillance video from the monitoring room just in time. A bit later, and it would have been remotely destroyed.”

Fang Xiaocao nodded, “Very good!”

Half an hour later!

Taotie and Hei Ta ran back excitedly.

From a distance, Taotie shouted, “Princess Your Highness, we’ve struck it rich.”

Fang Xiaocao’s eyes lit up, “Spill it, how did we strike it rich?”

Fang Xiaocao loved hearing the words “struck it rich.”

“Hei Ta and I discovered the warehouse, the armory, and also a safe. There was one that slipped through the net, trying to grab the cash and run. He just opened the safe when we slaughtered him.”

“The safe here is just like a bank’s vault, stuffed with a lot of great stuff, gold bricks, antiques, calligraphy, jewelry. I roughly counted, and it’s worth at least three to four hundred million at a conservative estimate.”

Taotie’s face was filled with a gleeful grin.

Even for him, included in the Blacklist, he’d never seen hundreds of millions in cash all at once before.

Love for wealth is universal.

This was genuine, tangible gold and silver.

Not just a string of numbers in a bank account.

The visual impact was tangible, and regardless of whether you love money or not, seeing all these things piled up in front of you would make your heart race involuntarily.

“Let’s go take a look!”

A look of joy spread across Fang Xiaocao’s face.

She was so happy she could burst.

Hummingbird and Tom alongside were also joyful; if Fang Xiaocao was getting rich, they could get a taste of the spoils too.

Under Taotie’s lead, Fang Xiaocao and the others excitedly ran to the vault.

Observing the lustrous gold and silver, Fang Xiaocao swallowed hard.

No wonder the wealthy like to convert their cash into gold bars and bricks; the sight of real gold and silver right in front of your eyes is indeed more satisfying than looking at a string of numbers in a bank account.

Fang Xiaocao touched this and looked at that.

She liked everything she saw.

Especially those stacked gold bricks.

Gleaming with gold light, they were Fang Xiaocao’s favorite.

“Come on, two gold bricks per person!”

“The rest, we’ll seal up as starting capital for establishing our power base.”

Fang Xiaocao, picking up the heavy gold bricks, signalled to Tom and the others with a wave of her hand.

Upon hearing this, Tom and the others didn’t hesitate.

They each walked up to Fang Xiaocao.

Fang Xiaocao picked up the gold bricks and distributed two to each person, taking only two for herself as well.

Each of these gold bricks was full weight.

Converted to cash, each was worth several hundred thousand.

Two together amounted to nearly a million.

Although a million was nothing for assassins like Tom, who could easily make a few million from a single job, and it was even less than what they earned for one mission’s commission, they were happy because it was a gift from Fang Xiaocao, no matter how small.

Following Princess Your Highness, they might go hungry three days out of nine, but today, they finally got their share of the money!

How could they not be elated?

After distributing the money, Fang Xiaocao went to check the armory and the warehouse to get a sense of what was there.

Returning to the square, the group gathered around, with Tom and the others all waiting for Fang Xiaocao to speak and assign the missions.

“This base is now mine.”

“With so many resources here, I’m guessing the Pawnshop won’t let us off easy and will surely send people to reclaim them, even if it takes a pretty penny.”

“However, we must go to New Province, so someone needs to guard this place.”

“I’ve decided that Taotie and I will go to New Province. The Blacklist also has a branch there, and it’ll be convenient to act with Taotie.”

“Here, Tom will hold down the fort at the villa at the base of the mountain, Hummingbird with Hei Ta and Kasaya Stealer will guard the base. If anyone invades, Hummingbird must contact Tom immediately for backup.”
