Chapter 144: Chapter 0144: Kill Him or Kill You

"Damn it, the mission failed, and you’re not calling it off? Do you really expect to take my money for nothing?"

Mr. Lei fumed, having sat in his car in front of Tianjiao High School earlier.

As soon as he saw Tang Ming walk out of the school gate, his eyes locked onto him, and sure enough, a female assassin attacked Tang Ming, but failed. Instead, Tang Ming threw her to the ground in a face-plant maneuver - which infuriated Mr. Lei so much that he hit the window. That’s why he wanted Poison Widow to refund the money.

"Boss, Poison Widow never refunds money once they’ve taken it. If their mission fails once, they will attempt a second assassination. They won’t stop until they kill the target. Why don’t you wait a bit?"

Ma Gan advised.

Mr. Lei shook his head. He was notoriously impatient. He thought that with a high price should come competent service, but the assassin had not only failed but had also got kicked, thus he didn’t trust Poison Widow any longer.

Seeing he couldn’t persuade him, Ma Gan reluctantly said, "Boss, when Poison Widow’s people arrive, please be careful not to say anything offensive, or we’ll be in big trouble."

"I know."

Mr. Lei’s face showed fearlessness, but he was still somewhat worried. After all, Poison Widow had a notorious reputation and was not to be taken lightly. Although he appeared brave, he had many concerns. For instance, previously, he wouldn’t have paid so promptly if he wasn’t afraid that thugs might cause trouble later.

After waiting a few minutes, two beams of light shone from a distance, and Ma Gan, startled, said, "Boss, they’re here."

"Yeah, calm down, what’s there to be afraid of?" Mr. Lei tried to reassure himself.

The car stopped not far away, and a strikingly beautiful woman alighted, her well-proportioned figure captivating in the dark environment. The car door slammed shut, and she slowly walked over.

"Everyone’s here, just get out of the car."

After getting out of her car, Shen Yan said with a smile, "You ask me out but don’t dare to get out of the car yourself?"

Mr. Lei and Ma Gan then got out of their car - in the pitch-dark environment, apart from hearing each other’s voices, all they knew was that the other was a young woman. They dared not shine a flashlight on her face for fear of enraging her.

"I heard you want to cancel the mission with our organization?"

Shen Yan asked with a sneer.

Mr. Lei, wanting to seem tough, said loudly, "Correct, what kind of trash assassin did you send? Tang Ming defeated her in one move. With such pathetic skills, and you still talk about killing? Just refund the money quickly."

Upon hearing this, Shen Yan’s face turned steely blue. As an assassin, she could not tolerate anyone questioning her prowess. If it weren’t for Mr. Lei’s status as a major client, she would have acted, sending the two men straight to Hell.

"Really? Talking about me like that hurts my feelings."

Shen Yan said in a mock-sweet, icy voice.

Mr. Lei, upon hearing her, broke into cold sweat, terrified. He had thought it was just a contact from Poison Widow to negotiate and had not expected them to send the assassin herself. What kind of situation was this!

Swish!

Suddenly, a Silver Needle gleamed faintly in the darkness and, quick as lightning, stopped right by Mr. Lei’s eye - just a little bit more, and it would have pierced his eyeball.

At this distance and speed, Boss Lei collapsed to the ground, gasping for air, his back drenched in cold sweat, almost wetting his pants from fright.

"Although you are the financier, you need to understand one thing, the target’s identity and capabilities you provided do not match, and we can fully withhold your money."

Shen Yan withdrew the Silver Needle, then slowly spoke.

Boss Lei sat collapsed on the ground, his pants already starting to wet, he gave a bitter smile and retorted:

"How do they not match? That person is clearly just a student."

"Does a student have such good skills? When the organization accepted your mission, they should have asked these questions in detail, but you concealed them, and I won’t ask what your intentions were."

Shen Yan said with a cold laugh, "Just based on this point, we can either ask you to pay more, or directly cancel the mission, not returning a single penny to you."

"You fail to kill him but blame it on us not clarifying, is there any reason in that?"

Boss Lei said somewhat gloomily as he sat on the ground.

Shen Yan said impatiently, "Anyway, it’s impossible to refund the money, and the person you want killed exceeds the normal mission quote, but I don’t need you to pay extra now, I’ll take him out for you. If you don’t agree, then I can only take you all out too."

"Ah? Okay, then I have no objections..."

Boss Lei shuddered in fright; these assassins really are unreasonable! But when threatened like this, he truly became afraid and hastily agreed.

The next day at noon, Shen Yan resolved to take out Tang Ming to wash away her previous humiliation.

She drove early to the entrance of Tianjiao High School, and as it was almost midday break, she walked into a nearby public restroom carrying a large bag!

Not long after, an old woman wavering in her walk emerged from the restroom, her face full of wrinkles but her eyes were not murky, rather, they were exceptionally clear.

The old woman, shaky and unsteady, walked toward a street near Tianjiao High School, standing by the roadside to wait, watching students bustling out from the school, her eyes continuously sweeping over the entrance. When Tang Ming and the fat man appeared, her eyes lit up, a slight smile emerging on her lips, much like a hungry wolf spotting its prey.

Tang Ming and the fat man planned to grab some food, since Liu Mengting was having lunch in the cafeteria and there was no danger!

The old woman’s position was along their inevitable path, and at the same time, she began wavering towards Tang Ming and the fat man.

Normally, Tang Ming would have stepped aside to let an elderly person pass, but suddenly, he noticed something odd about her; her hands were covered with many wrinkles, yet the palms were delicate and rosy, not at all like those of an elderly person.

As the old woman approached and was about to brush past Tang Ming, she suddenly cried out "Aiyo" and fell directly in front of Tang Ming.

Tang Ming and the fat man were both stunned, and as the fat man saw the old woman on the ground, he bent down to help her up.

At this moment, a slight smile appeared on the old woman’s lips; she was waiting for Tang Ming to reach out to help her up so she could strike, a close-range assassination, especially unguarded, would be hard for even a highly skilled Martial Artist to fend off such a sudden attack.

As an assassin, the greatest pleasure lies in overpowering the mighty, often through various cunning strategies that lead the enemy into a death trap, and this is what makes assassins terrifying.

Shen Yan truly enjoyed the thrill of being an assassin, so even though Tang Ming was formidable, she dared to challenge him, intending to use all sorts of manipulative strategies to ambush him and achieve the satisfaction of a one-hit kill.
