Chapter 388: Chapter 0388: Picked Up an Old Man

The pain of having one’s bones disassembled one by one is unimaginable for ordinary people, and with each additional bone removed, the pain would double. Even a martial master could not withstand it.

"I thought you were tougher, but you broke down after just over thirty bones were removed," Tang Ming said with dissatisfaction, looking at Yaksha expectantly:

"How about you hang in there a bit longer? I want to see if I can take apart all over a hundred bones in your body."

"No, please don’t. I’ll tell you everything you want to know, just spare me,"

Yaksha cried out in terror, the removal of just over thirty bones had already made life unbearable for him, and if it continued, he would break down.

"Alright then, first tell me who wants to kill me?"

Tang Ming sighed regretfully and then began the interrogation.

"I really don’t know; I just took the task from the organization, I don’t know who the employer is."

Yaksha shook his head, looking pitifully as he spoke.

Tang Ming thought about it and could understand the rules of the Assassin Organization; unless the employer wanted to meet the assassin personally, they would not know who their employer was.

Then Tang Ming asked about Poison Widow, and Yaksha gave a detailed account.

"I didn’t expect Poison Widow to be so powerful, with several martial masters in place. If we can’t make them fear us this time, they will definitely be a major trouble later."

After hearing the report, Tang Ming’s expression grew somber.

After a while, Tang Ming suddenly laughed, reached out to reconnect the bones in Yaksha’s body, and then took out his phone to dial a number given by Yaksha.

When the call connected, Tang Ming directly asked into the phone:

"Hello, are you the boss of Poison Widow?"

There was a moment of silence on the other end, and then a deep voice sounded, asking in confusion:

"Who are you? I don’t understand what you’re talking about?"

"Damn it, stop playing dumb with me. You’re the boss of Poison Widow, codenamed Shura, right?"

Tang Ming demanded irritably.

"Who exactly are you?"

Shura’s tone grew serious. Poison Widow’s assassins, much like Shen Yan, usually lived hidden in various corners of the city under seemingly innocent identities. Being directly questioned like this caught Shura off guard.

"My name is Tang Ming, the Tang Ming from Tang Ming Emperor, also the target you are trying to assassinate."

Tang Ming said, chuckling as he fiddled with his ear.

Hearing this, Shura’s breathing quickened, feeling an ominous premonition.

"You, how do you know my number, what exactly do you want?"

Shura asked warily.

"I was just out for a stroll and stumbled upon an old man who seems to have some connection with you," Tang Ming said cheerily:

"I heard he is a Three-star Martial Master. I wonder if you know him?"

"What have you done to Yaksha?" Shura asked incredulously, thinking anxiously:

"What on earth is going on? Could it be that Yaksha’s assassination attempt failed and he has fallen into enemy hands?"

"I didn’t say his name was Yaksha; how did you know?"

Tang Ming asked contemptuously, mockingly saying, "Let’s stop beating around the bush, no need to pretend with me anymore."

"Fine. I am Shura. What exactly did you do to Yaksha?"

Shura stopped hiding his identity and asked coldly.

"Nothing much, just that the old man’s body isn’t great. He fell while walking and broke dozens of bones; I just helped him fix them, that’s all."

Tang Ming looked playfully at Yaksha lying on the ground, "I kindly saved a Three-star Martial Master for you guys; shouldn’t you repay me for this?"

"What do you want? Just say it." After confirming Yaksha was in trouble, Shura asked through gritted teeth, barely holding back his anger.

"I heard someone paid to have me killed. I don’t want to know who the employer is now, because I guess this assignment is going to be aborted. Just bring the money over and redeem this old man!"

Tang Ming said, wearing a sly grin as he made his demand.

"Extortion? Why don’t you just go rob people!"

Shura was greatly infuriated. No one had dared to extort the Poison Widow Organization, which made him extremely angry.

"If you don’t give it to me, I could just rob it! Anyway, a Three-star Martial Master only has so much skill; I guess the Poison Widow Organization doesn’t have many Three-stars, right?" Tang Ming said very seriously.

"You, you’re threatening me?"

Shura roared angrily. He had originally planned to threaten Tang Ming to hand over Yaksha, but he hadn’t expected Tang Ming to threaten him first.

"Is this a threat?" Tang Ming asked uncertainly, tilting his head:

"Then I’ll just threaten a bit. If you’re not willing to pay the ransom, I’ll dismantle his bones and hand him over to the police for them to deal with. I can’t afford to take care of such an old wreck. When in trouble, go to the police; Uncle Policeman will help take care of your elderly."

"You..." Shura was unsettled by this statement.

"No, Group Leader, save me, please don’t let him dismantle my bones."

Yaksha’s terrified voice suddenly erupted; he was obviously scared by Tang Ming’s approaches.

Hearing Yaksha’s voice, Shura’s heart chilled completely. A Three-star Martial Master was terrorized to such an extent by Tang Ming, he couldn’t even imagine what Yaksha had undergone.

"Damn it, how could this Tang Ming be so powerful, it’s sick." Shura felt a wave of apprehension, gritting his teeth:

"Don’t hurt him, I’ll send someone to negotiate with you right away."

"Good, I’ll wait for you, but you must be quick, I haven’t eaten yet!" Tang Ming warned cheerfully:

"If you make me wait too long, out of boredom, I might just take my anger out on the old man."

"Don’t worry, I’m notifying someone right now." As soon as he finished speaking, Shura hung up the phone.

Shen Yan hadn’t expected Shura to call her. When she heard that a Three-star Martial Master had failed to assassinate Tang Ming and had fallen into his hands instead, she was also shocked, not believing Tang Ming could be so ruthless.

A Three-star Martial Master, a level you can’t even find among the Martial Arts Families in Songlan City, and yet Tang Ming had easily defeated such a person, what level of power did Tang Ming possess?

Upon hearing that Shura wanted her to go negotiate with Tang Ming, her first reaction was reluctance. The organization had halted her assassination mission, but sent a Three-star Martial Master to earn money, and now a failure had made her step in; what did they see her as?

Though unwilling, Shen Yan had no way to directly defy Shura’s orders, so she reluctantly changed into a white tracksuit and headed to the place where Tang Ming was to proceed with the negotiations.

When Shen Yan arrived at the foot of the mountain, seeing Shura lying on the ground, barely alive and with a shoe print on his face, she was shocked once more.

Yaksha was someone highly esteemed within the Poison Widow Organization, yet now he had been reduced to such a sorry state, which was unimaginable in the past.
