Chapter 602: Chapter 267 Assassination Plan (6k)
"Oh? You want me to send someone to kill within Paradise? A Contractor of Paradise?
Thatâs Paradise!
Under Paradiseâs rules, even I have to behave!
Donât you know about the incident when a Seventh Rank tried to seek revenge and was suppressed by Paradise when the transit zone first opened?
Still wanting to kill a Contractor of Paradise?
Youâve got guts, Pharmacist, arenât you afraid Iâll just keep you here?
I think keeping you here, whether for ransom or to have you work for me, is much simpler than going to kill a Contractor!"
The speakerâs tone carried a hint of amusement, looking down with interest at the "little man" before him.
Under such a gaze, even though the other did not release the aura of an 8th Rank.
Simply due to the opponentâs giant-like stature and his identity as the owner of this Grey Star City and leader of the Starry Skyâs grey faction, he already brought enough oppressive pressure.
He knew well, the other could absolutely achieve everything he said!
Moreover, he was secretly alarmed, not expecting that this time, to be safe, he came alone but was still discovered by this person who also found other companions!
Not only he, but even the other Alchemists hiding in the spaceship behind him were equally shocked when they received the message from his real-time communication device, growing fearful of the power of the strong.
Being safely nurtured by the major powers for too long, these Alchemists were handling things worse than novices.
That so-called plan was practically nonexistent.
"Heh, donât forget, this is my territory, anything happening here cannot be hidden from me!
Since you arrived in the Star City, those Alchemists who came with you have always been under my watch..."
Perhaps sensing the Alchemistâs doubt, the giant specially explained.
But this only made the Alchemistâs heart sink, realizing it was a threat to him and understanding the otherâs hint, knowing the other was somewhat interested in it now.
Yet this didnât bring him any good mood, as anyone threatened with death wouldnât be able to smile, barely forcing a smile, he spoke stubbornly:
"Of course, you are Lord Spirit Fist, whose mind covers the entire planet, how could such a little thing be hidden from you..."
"Alright, letâs talk business. Killing a Contractor is possible."
The Alchemist wasnât slightly annoyed at being interrupted, his delight undisguised, but soon was knocked back down by the giant.
"But you also know, killing under Paradise protection isnât simple, the risk and difficulty are too high!
Tracking a Contractor is also not simple, and you demand the Seventh Rank to act..."
The giant had made it very clear, if he didnât understand this, he shouldnât be human.
Isnât it just about adding money! Such things are what they, Alchemists, lack least!
Especially when now itâs a group of Alchemists pooling funds!
"Lord Spirit Fist, just name the price!"
"This amount!"
Spirit Fist made a gesture, the Alchemist understood immediately.
"Fifty billion? No problem!
As long as it succeeds, even fifty trillion is no problem!"
The Alchemist hesitated not a bit, fearing the other might change his mind eventually.
This surprised Spirit Fist a bit, he initially just meant to hint for five billion...
Truly worthy of Alchemists...
Having monopolized the medicine-refining market for so long, they truly are *Starry Sky profanity* rich!
This wealth, even someone of his 8th Rank, couldnât help but be amazed by it.
After all, heâs just an ordinary Martial Artist who can only fight, unlike those who play with spells or mechanics, who have many ways to make money.
Otherwise, he wouldnât have ended up at this birdless corner of the starry domain, by an aging star, running such a grey mercenary organization.
ââEven though this entire Star City is under his jurisdiction, he already controls all grey transactions in this area.
But this is not a reason for him to be rich.
Many Starry Sky people believe he, being such a grey mogul, should be as rich as a country, but those are their misunderstandings.
For many ordinary Starry Sky people, these grey transactions are naturally profitable businesses.
But since they are grey transactions, they canât be too large inherently, and the cut naturally wonât be much.
At least, compared to those reputable large companies and major forces selling all types of development resources and equipment, itâs incomparable.
If all resources are focused on an individual, it would indeed be a lot, but he also needs to manage his forces, thus spreading it thinly.
Whether itâs his own cultivation resources or his subordinatesâ growth, each is a gold eater, and now that income barely covers it.
Otherwise, he wouldnât have to personally come out to drum up business, playing house with these few easily crushable Pharmacists.
Needless to say, this group of Alchemists could, combined, buy this entire Star City with their wealth!
Not to mention their medicine-refining abilities in the past were a huge profit!
"Now pay the down payment first!"
With the goal achieved, the Alchemist paid swiftly.
They even prepared for Spirit Fistâs dissatisfaction with this price, planning to represent other Alchemists to agree to secretly supply Spirit Fist with Potions as payment.
Now, having solved the problem just with money is already beyond expectations!
Such kill-and-loot transactions are unlike proper organizations directing forces, with no steps for discussing plan details.
The patron only needs to spend money, all considerations are the assassinâs task.
After paying the deposit, the Alchemist didnât want to stay here a moment longer, quickly said goodbye and left the room.
