Chapter 244: Chapter 244 Sky Net
When Wang Hui heard Li Xuanyu ask this question, he shook his head and said, "I’m sorry, I really don’t know."
Li Xuanyu frowned and said, "So you’re saying you’re useless then?"
Wang Hui’s heart chilled, as he had not expected this seemingly fragile young girl to be so malevolent. He quickly said, "Of course, I’m useful. I’m an assassin, and I’m very strong. I hope you’ll give me a chance to make amends."
Yang Fei scoffed, "A person like you who fears death, also claims to be an assassin?"
Wang Hui, however, was unabashed and said, "A wise man submits to circumstances. Becoming an assassin wasn’t my original intention. It was because I owed someone a favor in the past that I reluctantly chose this path. It hasn’t been easy to get where I am now. I could be enjoying my prime years, so of course, I’m afraid of death. Fearing death is human nature after all."
Qin Yanyang nodded with a smile and said, "That’s right. Everyone fears death. There’s no shame in that, especially for someone as powerful as you who has authority, status, and wealth. Fearing death is even more understandable."
Wang Hui responded with a bitter smile, "Miss Qin is right."
Qin Yanyang asked, "You know who I am, but I don’t know you. Who are you, and which organization are you from?"
Wang Hui thought for a moment and looked at Qin Yanyang before asking, "If I tell you, can you spare my life?"
Before Qin Yanyang could answer, Yang Fei spoke, "No."
Qin Yanyang opened her mouth but did not object.
She did not like Yang Fei’s excessive thirst for blood, but with so many people around, Yang Fei had already made a decision, and it was difficult for her to oppose him openly.
She also understood that Yang Fei was genuinely angered because of the incident where Zhang Long was injured.
Wang Hui did not expect such a response, and since Qin Yanyang had not opposed it, he became anxious and said to her, "I had heard early on that the eldest Miss Qin was kind-hearted, charitable, has helped many in the Martial World, and is extremely merciful, cherishing the talents of the Divine Continent Martial World. Although I am an assassin, I too belong to the Divine Continent Martial World, a part of the Divine Continent. Doesn’t Miss Qin truly wish to spare my life?"
Ordinarily, no one would dare to speak to Qin Yanyang in such a manner.
But Wang Hui was different; his strength was in a unique tier, extremely powerful, and neither Xu Yunshan nor Xu Xiao could hold him without using their Poison Skill, showcasing his extraordinary power.
Such a person definitely had the right to bargain with anyone.
Before Qin Yanyang could respond, Yang Fei scoffed and coldly said, "A person like you kneels and begs for mercy at the first sign of failure, showing no backbone, a typical fair-weather friend. What is the use of keeping you? If we let you go today, you could easily betray us at the next opportunity, keeping you would be harboring a scourge."
"No, not at all; I’ve actually grown weary of life in the assassin organization. I want to become famous, to be a master in the open, but the organization insists I hide my identity and become an assassin who can only operate in the shadows. I’m truly tired of it," Wang Hui pleaded hurriedly.
"If you’ve been tired of it for a while, it should be easy for you to leave with your skills," Yang Fei said coldly.
Wang Hui gave a bitter smile and shook his head, "It’s not that simple. Although I’m quite powerful, there are many in the organization who can kill me. Without finding a truly strong backer to take me in, I wouldn’t dare to leave easily."
Qin Yanyang asked, "So which organization are you from?"
"Sky Net!" Wang Hui did not dare to stall any longer and honestly replied.
As soon as these words were spoken, both Yang Fei and Li Xuanyu squinted their eyes slightly.
Qin Yanyang also showed a surprised expression, "The mysterious assassin organization that has just emerged in the Underworld in recent years?"
Xu Yunshan and Xu Xiao were also secretly shocked, their expressions changing slightly.
The Xu Family also had its arrangements, and the well-known Shadow Organization in the Divine Continent Martial World included members of the Xu Family, so the Xu Family was fairly knowledgeable about the assassin community.
This Sky Net Organization had only appeared in the past few years and was extremely secretive. No one knew where its headquarters were located, nor did anyone know how many members were in this organization.
But after this organization appeared, it never made a mistake when taking orders. Its missions had zero failures, and the people they killed were key figures from various countries and factions, those who were very well-protected.
Unexpectedly, I encountered one of them today in Binhai.
With this guy’s level of cultivation, he had come only to kill a miss from Korea. The people from the Sky Net Organization really operate on a grand scale.
"Yes," Wang Hui nodded and said, "If you agree to let me go, I can also tell you a huge secret."
"What secret?" Qin Yanyang couldn’t help but ask.
The others also stared at Wang Hui with curiosity, looking very interested.
Seeing their expressions, Wang Hui secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Perhaps there was still hope for survival today.
He looked at Yang Fei and said, "Young Master Yang, I indeed underestimated your strength previously, and I truly didn’t know you were here today, nor did I know that Miss Li was your friend. Thus, I did indeed offend you, sorry."
Yang Fei gave a faint smile and said, "I don’t like people who beat around the bush. Speak of this secret of yours, then I will consider whether to spare your life."
Wang Hui said, "It would be better not to let too many people know this secret. I’ll just tell you and Miss Qin, how about that?"
Yang Fei frowned.
Qin Yanyang nodded and said, "Alright."
Seeing his wife agreeing, Yang Fei then said, "Elder Xu and Elder Xu, and Sister Xuanyu, please excuse us."
Li Xuanyu felt somewhat disappointed, but she didn’t show it and obediently said, "Alright, we’ll step out for a moment."
Xu Yunshan and Xu Xiao were very curious about what Wang Hui’s secret was, but since Yang Fei and Qin Yanyang had said so, they didn’t insist and nodded, turning to walk outside.
Yang Fei couldn’t help saying, "Elders, please be vigilant and help look after my Sister Xuanyu."
Seeing Yang Fei speak so politely, Xu Yunshan was pleased and hastily said, "Mr. Yang, rest assured, with us here, nothing will happen to Miss Li."
Xu Xiao also nodded in agreement but remained silent, as being able to follow his elder brother here overcoming the grudge he held was already commendable. It would take time for him to completely let go of his prejudices against Yang Fei.
After everyone left, Wang Hui struggled to get up from the ground and sat on a chair.
Yang Fei and Qin Yanyang looked at him without rushing him.
When the people outside were far away, ensuring there was no one eavesdropping, Qin Yanyang said, "Speak up, what exactly is the secret? I’m quite curious now."
Yang Fei also looked at him.
Wang Hui began to speak, "I have heard of both of your matters, so I believe you will be very interested in this secret."
Seeing Yang Fei frown, he quickly got back on track and said straightforwardly, "I have seen Zhang Yunlong in the organization."
Qin Yanyang’s pupils contracted, and his face showed a look of shock.
Yang Fei, because of the matters related to Zhang Yunqing, had inquired about several key and fierce members of the Zhang Family; he knew Zhang Yunlong was a super-genius of the Zhang Family, a National Guardian powerhouse who had entered the Innate Realm in his thirties.
So hearing this, Yang Fei was also somewhat surprised and couldn’t help saying, "Are you saying that Zhang Yunlong is also a person of Sky Net? Or are you saying he is only collaborating with you at Sky Net for some task?"
