According to the relevant regulations of the Black Hand organization, any task that is not out of bounds can be taken by the killer himself and then completed.

The so-called cross-border missions are missions that exceed the limits of the current killer's abilities, such as having a one-star killer assassinate an enemy at the martial arts level.

Although it is not impossible to accomplish, the hope is too slim, and if it is forced, there is a great possibility of failure, and such a task is a cross-border mission.

The mission to assassinate the saint that led to Xia Fan's death in the previous life was a cross-border mission for Xia Fan, who was already the supreme of martial arts at that time.

It's just that in the Black Hand Organization, in addition to the mysterious king, the strongest is the supreme-level killer, so the task of assassinating the saints, even if it is a cross-border mission, can only be accepted.

Compared with killers above four stars, the Black Hand organization does not have too strict control over killers from one star to three stars.

Although the number of one-star to three-star killers accounts for more than ninety percent of the number of killers in the entire black hand organization, the real core part of the black hand organization is still killers above four stars.

Only when it reaches the level of four stars or above can it be truly cultivated and absorbed by the black hand organization.

If it's only one to three stars, in a strict sense, it can only be regarded as a state of cooperation with the Black Hand organization.

It meets the standards required by the mafia organization for killers, applies the internal management methods and related channels of the mafia organization, and then uses these conveniences provided by the mafia organization to take tasks and earn commissions by themselves.

The Black Hand organization does not take any penny of the commission from the tasks of one to three killers.

But in the same way, if a three-star killer uses the channel of the mafia organization and bears the name of the mafia organization, he needs to pay a fixed fee with the mafia organization every year, and the amount of the fee varies according to the different levels.

Only when they reach more than four stars and are truly accepted by the Black Hand organization can they be regarded as core members of the organization, and they do not have to pay this fee.

And you can also get the black hand organization to vigorously cultivate, the only thing you need to pay is in the task commission, the black hand will start to extract a certain percentage of the share.

This proportion is naturally not low, but for the black hand killer who has reached the four-star level, the money itself is no longer as important as before.

It is precisely by relying on such a peculiar way that the Black Hand Organization can rapidly expand in scale in a short period of time, and it is completely different from the stage where other forces still need to accumulate raw power.

Like a wildfire, it has developed rapidly in the land of the Southern Regions.

This time, Xia Fan had to terminate the mission information of the diving cultivation, and it was not a cross-border mission.

Therefore, Xia Fan does not need to report at all, and he can deal with it by himself.

Of course, if Xia Fan wants to report for the record, there is no problem.

Once the task is reported for the record, it will go into another process within the black hand.

If the task is completed in time, the task will be closed internally, but if the task is unexpected and not completed, the black hand will arrange a more powerful killer to end the task!

And such a process does not require the killer who reports the task to pay any additional fees, so for the killers from one star to three stars, the practice of reporting for the record after receiving the task has become a habit for them.

Because of this, the name of the black hand killer who will not give up until he reaches his goal will become more and more resounding in the land of the Southern Regions.

However, this time, Xia Fan did not report the task.

Coming out of the Xia family's mansion, he arrived at the dilapidated mansion without attracting anyone's attention along the way, and after determining the content of the task in the shortest possible time, Xia Fan left the mansion again.

In this kind of city of least importance, due to the very scarcity of manpower arrangements, the way to release tasks is basically public, but the identity of the killer himself and the location and method of receiving the mission are extremely secretive.

Even in many cities, the way the killer receives the task is determined by the killer himself, and even the black hand organization is completely unclear.

After leaving the dilapidated mansion, Xia Fan wandered around the streets of Qingyang City aimlessly, visited some stores, and ate some snacks in a few restaurants, until the evening, and then returned to the Xia family house.

Before coming back, Xia Fan finally made a decision after a whole day of thinking.

He destroyed all traces of the tasks issued by the other party in the stronghold.

Doing so is risky, once the Black Hand Organization is aware of it, then it will be easy to trace down the Xia family in Qingyang City.

Even if he didn't leave any evidence, the Black Hand organization was not an official government, and their actions didn't need evidence, just suspicion, it was enough!

However, the probability of this risk is not large, so compared to leaving the traces of the task, Xia Fan finally preferred to destroy it.

As soon as he returned to Xia's house, Xia Fan went to Xia Ya's house.

After having a long conversation with Xia Ya in the study, Xia Fan returned to his courtyard and ordered a servant of the family to accompany Ye Kui to the City Lord's Mansion.

It wasn't until late at night that Ye Kui and the servant returned to the Xia family mansion.

And after returning to the Xia family's mansion, the servant did not return to his residence, but followed Ye Kui and lived in Xia Fan's mansion.

By the next day, everything was as usual, and the entire Xia family did not show the slightest abnormality, but some of the more sensitive people in the clan still sensed a trace of tension.

I'm not sure, but I always feel like something big is going to happen.

And on this day, two inconspicuous things happened again.

The first is that when the commander of the Qingyang City City Guard Army arranged the night patrol mission in the city that night, he made a little mistake that was innocuous and harmless.

For the night patrol arrangement in a certain area of Qingyang City, it is too repetitive.

As a result, some other opposite areas have been missed in the Night Patrol mission.

However, in view of the fact that the Lord of the War was in a state of hangover when he assigned the task, and the Lord of the War has always been known for his short temper on weekdays.

Therefore, even if he knew that the military lord had made a mistake, no one dared to bring it up to his face.

What made these city guard officers even more helpless was that the military lord had specially asked the clerical officer to record the content of the arrangement, resulting in them being unable to make some adjustments in private.

After carefully looking at the missing night patrol area, which basically belonged to the Xia family, these city guard officers also gave up the idea of correcting it.

Anyway, around the Xia family...... Historically, the law and order situation has been good.

The second is that the Xia family issued a verbal request to the stewards of each store early in the morning in the name of the Council of Elders.

The content of the request is very simple, the New Year is approaching, in order to reward the long-term workers in each store for their hard work and diligence in the past year, please ask the steward of each store to withdraw a certain amount of money in the accounts of the store, and choose some favorite ones in the restaurants in the city for a banquet.

And after the banquet, the stewards can also take the most outstanding long-term workers to the Qinglou and spend a good night.

Of course, the Qinglou you go to can't be at the level of Wanhualou.

However, in Qingyang City, there are not a few flower streets and willow lanes, but the place where Wanhualou is located is the most famous, so there is no need to worry about not finding a girl.

At most, it's just the girl's own appearance, and there will be some differences.

But this difference, for those long-term workers, obviously has no concept.

Anyway, after all, they are much more beautiful and gentle than their mother-in-law in the family.

Gentle Township is a hero's mound, and heroes can't resist these tender women, let alone those long-term workers who don't know much.

On the night of this day, when the lights of Qingyang City were extinguished, the entire city fell into a deep sleep.

A group of black-clothed people quietly came to the outside of the Xia family's mansion.
