Chapter 378: Chapter 0378: Abandoning the Mission

"Since Mr. Tang has such resources, then our Ma Family will definitely support him with all our might,"

Ma Tong agreed without hesitation.

"Although the Zhou Family has fallen, we still have certain capabilities and will absolutely support Mr. Tang’s decision."

Old Master Zhou nodded in agreement without even thinking about it.

"Since that’s the case, let’s settle it this way. However, let me be blunt; this is a collaboration among our four families, but only I know the formula for the detoxification liquid and the method to prepare it. Therefore, for the profit sharing after the cooperation, I want sixty percent while the remaining forty percent will be equally split among your three families. There is no distinction between Martial Arts Families and business families; at this time, those who can stand together are friends and allies, so the split must be even."

Tang Ming spoke with a serious tone, his gaze subtly sizing up Li Xiangui and the two members from the Martial Arts Families.

"Don’t worry, the Li Family stood by the Zhou Family during our time of crisis. From now on, they are friends of the Zhou Family, and we will certainly not bully the Li Family,"

Old Master Zhou assured swiftly.

The Ma Family had no objections to this; although the three families shared less profit than Tang Ming alone, the plan was proposed by Tang Ming, and the formula and preparation were provided by him, so they actually didn’t need to exert much effort.

Subsequently, the group began discussing the specific details of the cooperation, creating an atmosphere of harmony.

At the riverside villa complex, Shen Yan yelled into her phone:

"What on earth are you guys playing at? I haven’t abandoned the mission; why would you cut the commission by half?"

"Don’t panic, there has been a little mishap. This time, the employer not only withdrew half of the funds, but the organization is also considering abandoning the assassination target,"

came a woman’s voice from the phone.

"Abandon? Why?"

Shen Yan asked, puzzled.

"Because the intelligence was inaccurate. The employer didn’t reveal the real strength of the assassination target. According to investigations by our intelligence personnel, the employer might be a powerful martial artist. We will take appropriate measures in response to the employer withholding information."

The person in charge explained.

"I see!" Shen Yan nodded, glanced at the belongings she had obtained from Zhou Xianren’s house, and suddenly laughed:

"I will follow the organization’s decision. Since the organization has decided to abandon it, so be it."

"Thank you for your understanding. The organization will arrange a new mission for you, and in the future..."

Before the person in charge could finish, Shen Yan decisively said, "No need, I am going to take a break for a while. Don’t arrange any tasks for me until I return."

"Alright, it must have been tough trying to assassinate a powerful martial artist. Take a good rest. Contact me anytime if you need anything."

The person in charge hung up after finishing the conversation.

"Humph!" Shen Yan tossed her phone on the sofa, muttering to herself:

"Although attempting to assassinate Tang Ming cost me quite a lot, I’ve now doubled the amount from that scoundrel next door. So, I don’t need to assassinate Tang Ming for money anymore."

As her words ended, a terrifying gleam surged in Shen Yan’s eyes as she said resolutely:

"But I will definitely not give up the mission to assassinate Tang Ming. I haven’t been in the Assassin World this long without being able to kill someone. Just wait, I will definitely kill you with my own hands; otherwise, I’ll exit the Assassin World for good."

Worrying that Tang Ming might be dissatisfied, Ma Gangqiang had exerted an enormous effort to have the Poison Widow’s task of assassinating Tang Ming cancelled. For this, Ma Gangqiang paid Poison Widow the entire commission, just asking her to erase his hiring record and also leaked some of Tang Ming’s capabilities to her.

After some investigation, Poison Widow realized that Tang Ming was indeed a formidable figure, so she decided to cancel the assassination plan against him and instructed Shen Yan to terminate the assassination.

Unfortunately, Shen Yan was a professional assassin, and although the organization had ceased the assassination, she still decided to continue pursuing Tang Ming in order to preserve her unblemished record.

Having made her decision, Shen Yan immediately went upstairs to continue surveilling the Liu Family’s villa, only to discover many suspicious individuals lingering around the villa.

"Another competitor for the business?" Shen Yan wondered and then went out for a stroll with the injured Xiaogui in her arms.

In the woods surrounding the Liu Family’s villa, two men in black stood smoking.

"Have you found anything?" one of the men in black asked, cigarette in mouth and furrowed brows:

"Third and fourth were mysteriously killed, the leader is extremely furious and has ordered us to find out who the murderer is."

"Do we even need to investigate? They must have been killed after failing to assassinate Tang Ming!"

the other man in black said expressionlessly.

"If only it were that simple; but judging by the wounds on their bodies, they were ambushed while lying in wait, and Tang Ming hadn’t appeared yet, so the killer is someone else."

The smoking man said coldly, "People from the Flying Wolf Organization are not easy to provoke either; someone dared to kill our men, we must tear the murderer into pieces."

...

Shen Yan, holding Xiaogui, hid in the shadows and heard everything, her mood instantly became heavy, and she quickly left the scene.

"The Flying Wolf Organization? It must be another organization trying to steal the business, and they look tough to deal with!"

After returning home, Shen Yan, filled with anxiety, stood by the window watching the mysterious people moving around Liu Family’s villa: "There are so many of them, I can’t kill them all; I need to think of a way to solve this problem."

Then, Shen Yan called Chen Cang, who by now had become her loyal lackey.

After leaving the Zhou Family banquet, Qin Aotian and his group returned to the Qin Family. As soon as they entered, Qin Aotian began smashing things; the day was meant to disgrace the Zhou Family, but unexpectedly it ended with the Qin Family fleeing in disgrace, becoming a laughingstock.

"I’m furious, that old Geezer Zhou has actually recovered, and the Ma Family and Zhou Family have formed an alliance. If we don’t deal with them, how will our Qin Family ever establish itself in Songlan City?"

Qin Aotian roared furiously, then painfully clutched his groin and knelt down.

"Father, what’s wrong?"

Qin Haitian and Qin Haitao hurried over to ask.

"It’s nothing, just a recurrence of an old injury." Qin Aotian said painfully:

"Help me over to the sofa."

"Now that you’re back, you shouldn’t be angry anymore!" Liang Xuwang sat opposite Qin Aotian, squinting:

"I’m just the vanguard of our sect this time, and according to the schedule, the Sect Leader should arrive tomorrow."

"The Sect Leader is coming personally?" Qin Aotian was surprised, then said excitedly:

"Really?"

"Of course, it’s true. Over the past few years, the Qin Family has provided significant funds to the sect, which values the Qin Family’s role in the secular city greatly; thus, after receiving the message, the Sect Leader immediately sent me here and followed after handling some matters." Liang Xuwang smiled.
