Chapter 40: Assassination

The shop Jim found was at the end of the Benin City neighborhood, a bit out of the way, but it was better than that.

Su Ye took the time to take a look, the two-storey house with a total of 90 square meters, the price is also fair, 3158 silver coins, about 35 silver coins per square meter, which is just the standard house price in the bustling street section of Benin City.

In the past half a month, Su Ye has made a lot of money by selling the "Explosive Sword", and now in addition to various expenses such as mining ore, there are still thousands of silver coins left on the card to be liquidated.

After the two parties finalized the price and invited someone from the law firm to evaluate it, Su Ye paid the money with a painful face and agreed to deliver the house in 10 days.

With a store, the next step is to hire a few clerks, Su Ye needs to strike iron to upgrade the level, and he can't stay in the shop every day to watch the store.

Therefore, it is best to be an honest and trustworthy clerk.

The bears are very good. Wait until the next time you go to the camp and ask if there is a suitable candidate...

Su Ye thought as he strolled around the block, then turned around and squeezed into a small alley.

“......”

It didn't take long for two suspicious people to follow in, looking around, but there was no trace of Su Ye.

"Discovered?" The tall, thin, brown-haired man said nervously.

Another burly orc shook his nose when he heard this, and wondered, "No, that guy's smell is nearby..."

As he spoke, he looked up, only to see a sturdy figure leaping down from mid-air, stretching out his right foot and kicking it in this direction.

The orc was taken aback, and hurriedly resisted with both wrists, only to hear a muffled bang, he only felt as if he had been hit by a hammer, and his whole tall body flew upside down and fell into the garbage can.

"Help-" The tall thin man was so frightened that his face was as pale as earth, and before the word "life" could be spoken, his neck had been pinched by a big hand, and a cold voice came from his ear-

"If you dare to shout again, I will strangle you!"

Seeing that the tall and thin man nodded again and again in horror, Su Ye relaxed the strength in his hand a little, and asked sharply: "Say!" Why are you following me, who sent you!? ”

He had been hiding in the backyard of the inn for the rest of his time, mainly to avoid being discovered by the Elstark Order. But who knew that as soon as I went out for the first time today, I was followed by these two people all the way.

If it's a member of the Order......

A murderous intent flashed in Su Ye's eyes.

The tall and thin man was stared at by his cold gaze, only to feel a chill inexplicably rising in his heart, and stammered in fright: "I, I didn't follow you!" I—I'm just... Just desperate to find a place to fix it-"

"Do you think I don't dare to do it?" Su Ye smiled, but his eyes were cold, "Mr. Sean Kutner, your professional killer has a very high level of professionalism?" ”

The tall and thin man's eyes widened, as if he had met a ghost, and he trembled: "You—how do you know-"

rumble

There was a muffled sound behind him, and the orc's eyes were red, and he roared and pounced on Su Ye.

In the end, it is an orc, with rough skin and thick meat. Su Ye has learned a lot of qi refiners' fist and leg techniques from Li Yueru these days, and if Fang Cai's blow had been changed to a human, it is estimated that he would have been seriously injured and unconscious.

At this moment of distraction, the orc had already pulled the distance, raised a casserole-sized fist and smashed it at Su Ye's head-

Dead hand!?

Su Ye's face sank, his right hand pinched the tall thin man, and his left hand turned into a palm and slapped it.

bang

There was a loud bang, but it was the orc whose size was the size of two Su Ye.

I saw him fall heavily to the ground, smashing a small hole in the concrete floor, his right hand was dripping with blood, and the severe pain almost made him faint.

The tall and thin man who witnessed this stared at his eyes with disbelief.

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he couldn't believe that his companion, a powerful guy who could smash a few centimeters thick steel plate with a single punch, would be slapped away by a skinny-looking person from the Eastern Continent.

That fluttering palm, not even covered by magic power, shows that Su Ye is not a fighter of the martial arts profession, but why...

He couldn't figure it out, but now facing Su Ye's cold gaze, the tall and thin man had only one thought in his heart-

The other party's strength is extremely strong, and they are planted!

"One last time—who sent you to assassinate me?"

Su Ye tightened the strength in his hand, so that the tall and thin man had to believe that as long as he told another lie, the other party would break his neck without hesitation.

As Su Ye said, he is an assassin by profession, and his job is also a killer who takes orders to assassinate others.

Their profession is not recognized by the United Nations in Shuztanya, and they can only hide in unknown corners, or become lackeys of politicians, relying on a single assassination to rise in rank...

"It's... Nelson. He gave us your information and asked us to kill you within a month..."

"Who is Nelson?"

"Yes......" A look of hesitation appeared on the thin man's face, but as the force of his neck gradually increased, he finally confessed: "He is the steward of the city lord..."

Castle Lord! Lord of Benin! Georges Mourier!?

Su Ye's brain went blank for a moment.

Because he needed to live in Benin City temporarily, he looked up information about the Benin City Lord on the Internet.

Born in an aristocratic family, his father was the prime minister of the Creel Empire, Lord Count. Because he didn't want to get involved in the family's inheritance struggle, he voluntarily transferred to Benin City as the lord of Benin at the age of 20.

Later, there were Warcraft in Benin City, and he took the initiative to contact Warcraft hunters to come to crusade, and then vigorously promoted business development. It can be said that Benin City has the prosperity it has today, and it is all because of him.

Su Ye even saw a photo of the city lord on the Internet, in his thirties, looking quite young and aristocratic from the Western Continent.

Such a person is young and has political achievements and talents, maybe he will be transferred back to the royal capital at any time, and his achievements in the future will be limitless.

Su Ye and him seem to be in two worlds, and it stands to reason that there will be no intersection in their lives... But why was he targeted by him and sent a killer to assassinate him?

“... Why kill me? ”

"No, I don't know-" Seeing Su Ye's gloomy face, the tall and thin man was so anxious that he was about to cry, "We are just assassins raised by the housekeeper, and we are usually only responsible for taking orders for assassination, and we can't even see the city lord, how can we tell us the reason for the assassination..."

Su Ye also knew that people like this were just lackeys at the feet of those politicians and aristocrats, who were only responsible for biting people everywhere and could not participate in the core decision-making level.

So he gradually relaxed his strength, and walked out of the alley without looking back under the stunned gaze of the tall and thin man.

He doesn't kill me!?

This was the first thought in the thin man's heart, but before he could be happy, he immediately stiffened, and the whole person kept trembling as if he had fallen into an ice hole.

Su Ye didn't kill him, but now that he failed to assassinate, would the City Lord's Mansion let him go?

People like them are destined to have only two outcomes when they carry out their tasks.

Assassination success, or death.

Even if the assassination target spares him now, when the butler finds out that the other party is not dead, he will face an endless pursuit next......

Thinking of this, a fierce color flashed in the thin man's eyes, and he walked up to the unconscious orc, and a cold dagger popped out of his sleeve, gently wiping the opponent's neck.

The assassin squad in the City Lord's Mansion is usually one killer and one orc.

The orcs are simple-minded, not so scheming, and when they perform tasks, they are equivalent to the eyeliner of the City Lord's Mansion to prevent the assassins from having different intentions.

And now that he has killed the orcs, it is equivalent to a complete break with the City Lord's Mansion and will not die!
