1075 Silent Rippers
Lin Minghua eventually woke up after a whole day of rest, and when he woke up, he did so in a manner that was as though he'd just woken up from a nightmare.
"Aaaah!" He shouted the moment he woke up.
"Young Master! It's okay! Young Master!" Steward Jin quickly rushed to his side to calm him down.
"Steward Jin? What is going on? Where am I?" Lin Minghai looked around with a puzzled look on his face. He was so confused that he couldn't even recognize his own bedroom.
"We're currently inside your bedroom right now." Steward Jin said.
"M-My room? I see! So that was just a dream— a bad nightmare!" Lin Minghai released a sigh of relief, his whole body soaked in sweat.
It was obvious that Lin Minghai thought that his visit to the Tian Family and what he experienced there was just a dream.
Unfortunately for him, Steward Jin would turn that dream into reality with a single sentence.
"I'm sorry, Young Master, but that wasn't a dream. We brought you back here from the Tian Family after you fell unconscious."
Lin Minghai proceeded to sit on his bed with a blank expression on his face after hearing Steward Jin's words, feeling as though he'd accidentally inhaled a live fly.
His face began to flush with redness shortly after.
Once he reached the boiling point, he roared at the top of his lungs, "FUCK THAT BITCH TIAN YANYU!"
"I WANT THEM DEAD! I WANT THEM ALL DEAD!"
Steward Jin expected this kind of reaction from him, which wasn't surprising in the least. However, he couldn't allow it to happen.
"Young Master, with the way things are going, if we attack them now, it will look bad on the Lin Family."
"I don't fucking care! If you won't do it, I will do it myself! Nobody can stop me from killing that whore— not even my parents!" Lin Minghai continued shouting.
Steward Jin shook his head inwardly.
He then sighed, "I understand, Young Master. I will assemble a team of assassins to deal with Xiao Yang to send a message for now. As for Tian Yanyu and her family, we can deal with them a little later. How does that sound, Young Master?"
Lin Minghai pondered for a moment before nodding with a cold smile on his face, "Kill her lover and torment her mentally before killing her, huh? That's a great idea! And since this Xiao Yang isn't part of the Tian Family, we won't receive any backlash for killing him! We can even call him a fugitive who had wronged our family!"
"That's right, Young Master."
"Go on! Get with it! I want this bastard gone by tomorrow!"
"Of course." Steward Jin disappeared from the room shortly after while Lin Minghai continued to rest.
After leaving Lin Minghai's side, Steward Jin went to write a note before sending it to the most notorious assassins within the Third Heaven— the Silent Rippers.
The Silent Rippers are a small group of professional assassins that would kill pretty much anybody as long as they are paid enough for the job, and they have even dared to kill people from the Seven Legacy Families before.
The Silent Rippers also have no hideout, and they always wander the Third Heaven, never staying in one place for longer than a few days, hence why they are so hard to catch and deal with.
However, they do have several methods of contact, and one of them is leaving behind a note as well as a full deposit in a specific location. These locations exist all over the Nine Heavens, and they are usually checked once every week.
Fortunately for Steward Lin, his note was received by a member of the Silent Ripper merely hours after he sent it out.
[I want someone named Xiao Yang to be taken care of as soon as possible. He is currently residing in the Tian Family's residence within Silver Heaven City. It is very important that you not kill anyone from the Tian Family— just Xiao Yang. He is a young man around 20 years old, around 6ft tall, handsome face, long black hair tied into a ponytail, brown eyes, and his cultivation seems to be around Spirit King. The pay will be 20,000,000 spirit stones. If you need more information or wish to contact me, you can contact one of my associates in the Yellow River Pavilion in Silver Heaven City. He is someone by the name of Ming Lao.]
Attached to this note was a storage bag with 20,000,000 spirit stones.
Normally, one wouldn't dare to risk 20,000,000 spirit stones before the job is completed, but the Silent Rippers are very proud of their reputation and have never stolen from their client before, hence why Steward Jin didn't hesitate to pay them 20 million spirit stones in advance.
"Hahaha! 20 million spirit stones to kill a mere child?! This is the easiest money in a long time!" The assassin laughed out loud when he saw the new request.
He then contacted his fellow assassins and notified them of the new mission.
"Spirit King at the Silver Heaven City, huh? Brother Mao should be the nearest to that city right now."
"Yes, I can get there in about three hours from my current location." This assassin surnamed Mao said.
"I'm about 8 hours away. Do you want to wait for me?" Another asked.
"No, I will be fine by myself. It's just a 20-year-old child who just became a Spirit King. I am already more than enough for this mission," said Assassin Mao.
"Alright, we'll leave this mission in your hands, Brother Mao."
"We will await for the good news, Brother Mao."
"Good luck."
"I will finish it by tonight."
After closing the connection to his communication jade slip, Assassin Mao immediately made his way to Silver Heaven City, unaware of the grim reaper that was waiting for him there.
