Chapter 1995: Chapter 1991: Three-Day Deadline
"Yes! We must kill him."
Huangfu Tieling nodded solemnly, then felt worried: "But that Hua Luoying seems to have a very special status, with a lot of protection around him, and even the world’s number one assassin as a bodyguard. Why is that?"
"I don’t know the exact reason either, I only know that Hua Luojie is engaged in genetic modification research, which is said to be as valuable as nuclear weapons. As for how far it’s come, I don’t care."
Huangfu Tianao shrugged indifferently, confidently said: "If we’re dealing directly with Hua Luojie, I guess they won’t back down. After all, the value of science is limitless. But if we’re dealing with Hua Luoying, they probably won’t resort to a desperate struggle. It’s not worth it."
"I don’t care, I must get revenge. That bastard dared to hit me, insult me, and even touch my butt. I want him dead."
Huangfu Tieling shouted willfully.
"Don’t worry, I brought the Purple Reincarnation Unit over this time. If they don’t hand over Hua Luoying, we’ll take action ourselves. Then we’ll make a fortune from the US financial market as compensation for you."
Huangfu Tianao patted Huangfu Tieling’s head affectionately, his eyes flickering with cold light.
After an unknown amount of time, Tang Ming opened his eyes, his lower abdomen still throbbing with pain.
"Where is this place?"
Tang Ming looked around; it was a spacious, bright room with a simple yet elegant decoration. He was lying on a comfortable mahogany bed.
"This is my home! You’ve been sleeping here for two days. Don’t you remember?"
Risley, wearing a pink dress, appeared at the bedside.
"How did I end up here... What about Yingzi?"
Tang Ming quickly sat up.
"Don’t move, don’t move, you’re badly injured. Your internal organs were severely damaged, and you need to rest properly."
Risley quickly pressed Tang Ming down: "Yingzi is fine, she said she suffered internal injuries and is recuperating.
What exactly happened to you two? Why are you so injured?"
Risley looked at Tang Ming in confusion: "When you came to me last night, you really scared me! It’s unimaginable that someone in York City could injure both of you at the same time."
"I ran into Left Hand."
Tang Ming propped himself up, gritting his teeth, said: "That guy turned out to be an Eastern Cultivator, and very powerful."
"Left Hand? Don’t tell me you’re no match for him either?"
Risley’s face changed slightly, and she quickly comforted: "Anyway, after all, he is the number one assassin. It’s not surprising there’s a gap between you."
"We didn’t officially fight. I was set up by Hua Luoying."
Tang Ming cursed through clenched teeth: "That bastard is too cunning, he also seems to be an expert."
"What’s going on?"
Risley looked at Tang Ming in confusion.
Then Tang Ming recounted what had happened last night.
"Oh my gosh! I already warned you before, Hua Luoying is not an easy character, but you were too careless."
Risley scoldingly looked at Tang Ming.
"I really didn’t expect that guy could withstand my poison. To my knowledge, surviving my poison is impossible."
Tang Ming sighed, furrowing his brow in confusion: "But why didn’t he have any reaction to my poison? Could he be immune to all poisons?"
"I don’t know either, but fortunately, you and Yingzi are alright."
Risley shook her head in confusion.
"Although we’re alright, this mission’s failure is infuriating, and Hua Luoying’s character is bad. It’s impossible to take someone like him back home. I’ll find a chance to eliminate him, and then go after Hua Luojie."
Tang Ming clenched his fists with a murderous look, having run into such a huge loss is rare for someone of his career.
"If you kill Hua Luoying, Hua Luojie is even less likely to cooperate with you, and only Hua Luoying can influence him. This seems to be a deadlock."
Risley sighed helplessly.
"Let’s not talk about this. How’s the situation outside? How long was I unconscious?"
Tang Ming asked uncertainly.
"I was about to tell you, you’ve been unconscious for two days, and the outside world has turned upside down."
Risley’s face grew solemn: "I originally didn’t know why the Huangfu Family suddenly appeared in York City. Hearing you now, I realize it’s Hua Luoying’s fault. He dared to kidnap the Huangfu Family’s eldest daughter. The Huangfu Family is furious, and a large force has marched into York City to punish the perpetrator."
"The Huangfu Family’s large force?"
Tang Ming was slightly astonished: "Given the focus on the Hua brothers, even a billion US Dollar bounty couldn’t break through Saint Yale University’s defenses. How does the Huangfu Family have the confidence to punish the perpetrator?"
"You know a lot about overseas affairs, but you know very little about the forces in your own country."
Risley rolled her eyes at Tang Ming and sat by the bed explaining: "Though the Huangfu Family is a power in your country, they still wield significant influence overseas."
"For example?"
Tang Ming looked at Risley in bewilderment.
"For example, the Huangfu Family is a world-class financial giant and a leader among Eastern Kingdom’s economic groups. If they start a financial war against M Country, the financial market there would suffer significant losses, even if it doesn’t collapse."
"That’s incredible!"
Tang Ming was surprised and confused, as he wasn’t interested in capital markets, and hadn’t expected the Huangfu Family to wield such power.
"You’re not interested in economics, so have you heard of the Purple Reincarnation Unit?"
Risley smiled at Tang Ming.
"I know about that. It’s an invincible mercenary force. I’ve dealt with some of them, they’re very powerful."
Tang Ming nodded repeatedly, apprehensively saying: "The Purple Reincarnation Unit comprises twenty-four people, with mysterious origins and great strength. If all twenty-four act together, they can sweep through both domestic and foreign terrain... Could it be that the Huangfu Family hired the Purple Reincarnation Unit?"
"I only got word of this over the past two days; the Purple Reincarnation Unit is a super combat troop heavily funded by the Huangfu Family. They came to York City with Huangfu Tianao of the Huangfu Family this time."
Risley’s eyes sparkled with excitement as she looked at Tang Ming: "With their powerful economic strength and the terrifying Purple Reincarnation Unit, facing such an entity, even here they have to bow down."
"Goodness, this is going to be a big show!"
Hearing this, Tang Ming couldn’t sit still, "Hua Luoying’s really hit a wall this time. What’s the current situation? Has M Country handed over Hua Luoying?"
"Huangfu Tianao gave a three-day deadline. I suspect when the deadline is up, we’ll have the result."
Risley nodded confidently.
