Chapter 685

Chapter 685: Chapter 618: The Three Giants of the Assassin’s League Chapter 685: Chapter 618: The Three Giants of the Assassin’s League At a height of five feet seven, he wasn’t particularly burly.

Together with a simple iron mask and dressed in black from head to toe, the leader of the Baixing State Assassin’s League, known as ‘Star Killer,’ stood quietly in the room that had originally housed surprise troops.

Apart from wearing a mask, he looked just like an ordinary person, displaying not the slightest aura of a powerful being.

His presence was excellently concealed.

When Tao Yu entered, in addition to him, there was another figure clad in a fiery red leather armor that was both explosive and simple, showing off a fit midriff and deep cleavage—a beautiful matron.

She was the number three figure in the Assassin’s League, ‘Red Rose.’

She was also Catastrophe Level.

The three great Catastrophe Level members of the Assassin’s League, one could say, were now all gathered together.

…

“…We all come from assassin backgrounds, and we know that it’s better to cut off one of the enemy’s fingers than to injure all ten, so all the moves and gadgets I employed while escaping were aimed at the opponent’s Family Head.

Whether or not the surprise troops took advantage of the opportunity, I really don’t know…”

Tao Yu spoke up to this point, deliberately showing a touch of embarrassment on his face.

After all, he was essentially ‘selling out his teammates’ at the last minute.

But when it came to matters of life and death, the other two from the Assassin’s League didn’t find anything wrong with it.

If they were in his shoes, they certainly wouldn’t risk their lives either.

They would certainly prioritize their own safety.

Moreover, they didn’t think that the surprise troops intended to willingly cover the rear.

It was merely Teng Lianghong, whose ability to flee just didn’t measure up, who was forced to cover their retreat.

It was just using the last resort in their box to launch a desperate counterattack and take down the opponent’s Clan Leader.

In terms of the explosive power characteristic of assassins, this wasn’t something hard to understand.

“Hmph, just hang it up over there, that will do.

Lately, there won’t likely be any collaboration between us and them.”

Wearing the iron mask and perfectly matching Tao Yu’s information, ‘Star Killer’ let out a cold snort.

“They have their own farms which reduces their need for collaboration on missions, while we have suffered a great loss.

Shall we target their farms or something?”

‘Red Rose,’ painting her lovely nails, sighed lazily.

Her slightly upturned mouth, set off by the beauty mark on the edge of her lips, looked particularly tempting.

“Or perhaps, we should split our baggage and disband.

I think it might be a good idea to find a family to join and start accumulating some assets of our own.”

Coming from her, such a proposition to split the loot and disband wasn’t offensive at all.

However, for Tao Yu, it was merely something to listen to.

Presently, joining some power on a whim and being attached to a family might mean a decent income in terms of Yuan Force, enough for a normal Catastrophe Level to use.

But certainly, precious and rare items wouldn’t turn up for someone like her who had been demoted.

The Assassin’s League’s existence, even without fixed assets and commanding three Catastrophe Levels, must have its reasons.

“Then, why not go directly to the Suns?”

Tao Yu tentatively made the suggestion.

Having fallen out with the Huang Family, there were no longer any conflicts of interest with the Suns.

No matter the cause of the falling out, just say that we now stand aligned!

“It’s not unfeasible.

Currently, we haven’t taken advantage of the Suns, and you still haven’t made a move to cause them any damage.

However, the Suns may not trust us.”

“I’ll give it a try; having just made a breakthrough, I must achieve something.”

Tao Yu took on a look of righteous determination.

“Whether it be meat or soup, I’ll leave that to you, Old Teng.”

‘Red Rose’ giggled with a flirtatious gaze, her demeanor showing no hint of the loftiness typical of a Catastrophe Level expert.

Based on Tao Yu’s limited memory of her, this woman seemed to possess shapeshifting and temperament-altering abilities, often switching among various dispositions.

A master of disguises among assassins.

“For the time being, let’s settle on this plan for the next while.

Revenge against the Huang Family isn’t urgent; now is surely when they are most vigilant.”

‘Star Killer’ firmly established the plan for lying low in the immediate future.

The Assassin’s League had always prized the principle of a one-hit kill.

Patience was vital for them, and no one was in a rush to shout about vengeance.

“However, the loss of a surprise troop is somewhat troublesome since he was sent directly from the headquarters.

I’ll have to file a report back, and Old Teng, you should sign it too.”

‘Star Killer’ promptly got Tao Yu to co-sign, formally acknowledging that Tao Yu had now become one of the top three figures.

Although the special forces were gone, three people still remained!

“Alright.”

“I’ve never really taken charge of operations, and now that the special forces are dead, we need someone to be responsible for daily affairs.”

This was both a power and a responsibility, as well as a hassle.

Tao Yu spoke up directly,

“Leave it to Rose, she’s stronger than I am, has more experience, and I still need to try contacting the Suns.

And currently, my injuries haven’t fully healed yet.”

Tao Yu’s words took ‘Red Rose,’ who had been about to say something, by surprise.

She knew that the leader disliked managing affairs, so she had thought she might need to fight for the position.

She hadn’t expected the newly promoted old-timer to be so sensible.

Red Rose blew Tao Yu a flying kiss, winking playfully as she said,

“You’re so obedient, I’ll treat you to a grand meal~”

…

“I’m really going to die!”

Red Rose let out a scream while propping herself up, then with a broken expression, she collapsed onto the bedsheet.

The blanket beside her bounced up, conveniently covering the parts that needed to be covered, and her enticing, partly concealed figure was extremely alluring.

And Tao Yu simply curled his lips with indifference.

A weakling dared to challenge him.

Not to mention Tao Yu’s skills were already exceptionally strong; without utilizing the Taming Technique and Riding, he could still have a great duel with an Angel Succubus pair.

Now with the Witch Skill fully activated, combined with the full power of Taming and Riding, Red Rose, who was just a regular Catastrophe Level, stood no chance.

Not only was she utterly defeated, but Tao Yu had also planted the Seed of Spirit in her.

When Red Rose slowly came back to her senses, her vacant and hollow eyes gradually regained focus, and then she reclaimed a hint of shrewdness.

“Damn it, what have you done to me?

To think I trusted you so much.”

Being Catastrophe Level and an old hand in the Assassin’s League, Red Rose immediately understood the role of the Seed of Spirit.

Her beautiful face showed clear annoyance.

“Not happy about it?”

Tao Yu answered with just three words, immediately causing her complexion to flush, and without a reply, she fidgeted.

“But this isn’t right, isn’t a normal relationship better?”

“You’re not suggesting you want to have a normal romance with me, are you?”

Tao Yu retorted.

This left Red Rose without a counterargument.

She had to admit, if their positions were reversed, she would surely do the same, and perhaps even more ruthlessly!

Having the chance to control a Catastrophe Level was far more tempting than any petty desire.

“I really don’t know where you got such a great skill from.”

Red Rose was somewhat angry, yet somewhat resigned.

Damn it, a moment of weakness, and she ended up like this.

How could it be so pleasurable…

But what’s done was done; she had no more thoughts of resisting.

“I don’t intend to make you my puppet, and I generally won’t ask you to do much.

I just lack a sense of security, so I’m taking out insurance.”

If there was still space in his ranks, he might have simply turned her into one of the Shadow Soldiers, which would have been much more secure than the Seed of Spirit.

And now, things weren’t too bad either.

The Seed of Spirit ‘Teng Lianghong’ had planted, she hadn’t a clue about any other news.

Even if she really harbored a grudge and revolted, there wasn’t much loss.

It was purely a gain without cost.

Now that she had become the Grand Steward of the Assassin’s League, the two could completely overshadow ‘Star Killer.’

Hmm, even because of ‘Star Killer’s’ characteristics, likely being Duel Space, Tao Yu felt that if necessary, he could take over anytime.

It wouldn’t be a big deal to play ‘Star Killer’ and ‘Teng Lianghong’ at the same time.

However, it wasn’t the time for that now.

For the moment, the Assassin’s League still needed a big target to attract firepower.

The highly skilled ‘Star Killer’ was, without a doubt, excellent…
