Chapter 478 - 478 478 Gradually Opening the Breakthrough

478: Chapter 478: Gradually Opening the Breakthrough 478: Chapter 478: Gradually Opening the Breakthrough In fact, every assassin organization has its strict confidentiality, even a small-scale assassination organization like Seven-Kill, finding its leader is not so simple.

Firstly, when they issue tasks, you can’t even meet anyone; they simply send a short message with the target’s details to the assassin’s cell phone and it’s done.

And when the assassins receive their payment, it’s all done through online banking transfers.

However, you simply can’t trace the specific name or location tied to the card number – that’s what’s so fearsome about assassins.

In today’s developed society, these organizations are even more terrifying because they all have high-tech capabilities, making them even more covert.

Now, Xiang Yu has Wang Ze issue a task, actually hoping to take the opportunity to find the other party’s vulnerability.

No matter the organization, no matter how watertight it may be, there’s always the possibility of an oversight.

Wang Ze drove alone straight to the church, by which time it was already eleven o’clock at night.

Following Xiang Yu’s instructions, he found paper and pen inside the church, then wrote down the task he wanted to issue, as well as the fee he was willing to pay.

Wang Ze wrote a particularly large sum in the payment section, offering one hundred thousand in advance, with another million payable upon successful completion of the task.

Actually, for a character like Xiang Yu, one would normally pay only one hundred thousand.

The reason Wang Ze wrote down one million for successful completion was to break through the other party’s typical way of thinking.

After Wang Ze finished writing, he placed it on the front desk, then prepared to leave.

At that moment, he already felt someone watching him, but he didn’t look around.

Instead, he walked straight out and finally drove away in his car.

After Wang Ze quickly drove off, he parked his car in a dark spot on another street, then sneaked back alone and hid there.

“Big brother, no one has come out,” Wang Ze whispered into the phone, huddled in a corner.

“Stay safe and keep watching,” Xiang Yu said before hanging up the call.

About ten minutes later, Wang Kai reported that the task had been issued – it was a one hundred thousand yuan job, which Wang Kai accepted.

From the time Wang Ze issued the task to when it was passed on, only about twenty minutes had elapsed.

During that period, no one came out from the church, which meant that the person hiding inside the church was the one relaying messages, definitely linked to Seven-Kill.

Knowing this, they had found a breakthrough.

At this point, Wang Ze called again.

“Big brother, someone has come out from the church,” Wang Ze said cautiously.

“Are they walking or driving?” Xiang Yu asked.

“They’re walking,” replied Wang Ze.

“Follow him, but don’t expose yourself,” ordered Xiang Yu.

If the person had been driving, Xiang Yu would have told Wang Ze to give up the pursuit because it was very late and the roads were scarcely populated.

If Wang Ze were to follow by car, he could easily be spotted, which would spook the quarry.

Wang Ze carefully followed from a distance, observing the person walking with intermittent stops, showing they were still quite cautious.

Wang Ze kept his distance but remained within sight.

The person walked for nearly half an hour and then entered a 24-hour restaurant.

Wang Ze did not follow; he waited outside the whole time.

Only after half an hour did the person finally come out from inside.

After exiting, they simply retraced their steps as if they had only come to eat.

Wang Ze dialed Xiang Yu’s number once more to ask about the next steps.

“Wait at the restaurant entrance; he’s likely to meet someone there.

Watch for any suspicious people, especially those who are physically fit and well-trained,” Xiang Yu analyzed.

Wang Ze acknowledged with a sound and was about to hang up when he saw a burly young man walk out.

This person was somewhat tall, with short hair, and walked with an erect posture, unlike the average person.

After coming out, the man looked around.

It seemed as though he sensed something and his gaze, sharp as a knife, turned in Wang Ze’s direction.

Startled, Wang Ze hastily hid and said, “Someone came out; he’s very alert and seems to have noticed me.”

“Withdraw immediately and come back,” Xiang Yu ordered decisively.

Without delay, Wang Ze left.

As soon as he did, that person appeared where Wang Ze had been hiding.

He surveyed the area with a dagger in hand and, seeing no one, left.

Wang Ze returned to his parked car and drove straight to the hotel.

That’s where Xiang Yu and the others were, in Su Yongzhen’s hospital room.

Entering the hospital room, Wang Ze was taken aback at first, as he had never seen this person before.

“Did you get a good look at him?” Xiang Yu hurriedly asked upon Wang Ze’s return.

Wang Ze glanced at Su Yongzhen on the hospital bed, obviously suspicious of him.

“It’s okay; just speak,” Xiang Yu said, understanding Wang Ze’s suspicions, and briefly explained the whole situation.

Wang Ze was naturally surprised to hear that Xiang Yu intended to wipe out the assassin organization, but he wasn’t as shocked as Su Yongzhen.

To him, it seemed normal; if they wanted to kill Xiang Yu, then it was only right for Xiang Yu to eliminate them.

Su Yongzhen saw Wang Ze’s indifferent expression and scoffed, “Ignorance is truly fearless.

Do you think an assassin organization is like cucumbers and vegetables, for you to chop at will?”

Wang Ze, unfamiliar with this person, didn’t argue and described the man’s physical characteristics to Xiang Yu.

Upon hearing this, Xiang Yu turned to Su Yongzhen and asked, “Do you recognize this person?”

“The description is too vague; I can’t picture him,” Su Yongzhen said disdainfully, looking down on Wang Ze with arrogance.

In his view, Xiang Yu and his gang were all ignorant.

Although the assassin organization wasn’t invincible, it certainly wasn’t as easy to deal with as Xiang Yu and the others imagined.

Seeing Su Yongzhen’s reaction, Xiang Yu knew he had never seen the man, then turned to Xiao Xuan and said, “You go with Wang Ze back to that restaurant and get the video footage.”

Xiao Xuan responded affirmatively and left with Wang Ze.

“What’s the use of watching a video?

Even if you see his face, you won’t be able to find him,” Su Yongzhen said disdainfully.

In his heart, he harbored a deep-set belief that Xiang Yu wouldn’t be able to dispose of the assassin organization so easily.

When Su Yongzhen had wanted to join the assassin organization, it was because of their mystery that piqued his curiosity; becoming an assassin felt like a cool thing to do.

But after he truly entered the fray, he realized that things inside were not as simple as he had imagined.

First, one had to adhere to the rules, and furthermore, if a mission wasn’t completed, or if someone abandoned the mission, they’d be punished.

At the least, they wouldn’t receive a fee, and at worst, they would be eliminated.

Su Yongzhen was precisely the kind who didn’t obey orders; he had not only failed to complete his mission but had also damaged the reputation of the organization, and such a person was someone the organization was resolute on removing.

Poor Su Yongzhen, having not completed even one mission since he’d joined the organization, was already making enemies.

Perhaps this was what Xiang Yu had initially told him, that he wasn’t cut out for this line of work.

As for Su Yongzhen’s attitude, Xiang Yu didn’t pay much attention, because it was all meaningless.

What he needed to do was to dispose of the organization within three days; by then, Su Yongzhen would naturally be subdued…
