…
Although Tony and the others seemed to be very free, they were actually still under Qin Fang's control. Charlie naturally understood this, so he did not show any excessive behavior and still appeared very calm …
However, it was useless to be calm at this time …
"I won't talk so much nonsense with you. You just have to tell me something I want to know, and you and your team can leave alive … Otherwise, you know what the consequences will be!"
When dealing with these mercenaries, it was meaningless to talk about principles. The best way to deal with them was to get straight to the point.
Agree, and the entire team can live.
If you don't agree, then go see Andrew and Umbra together …
"What do you want to know? Ask away …"
Charlie stared straight at Qin Fang for a long time, but he did not see anything. In the end, he could only say dejectedly.
"What kind of mission did the Demon's Hand accept in Jiangzhou this time?"
Seeing that Charlie was so straightforward, Qin Fang did not hide it and asked directly.
"I don't know …"
However, Charlie replied without hesitation.
"Hmm?"
As soon as this answer came out, Qin Fang's expression changed slightly. Charlie agreed so straightforwardly just now, but this answer made Qin Fang quite dissatisfied.
"I'm telling the truth … Not to mention that I don't know, the other teams in the group probably don't know either!"
However, at this time, Charlie simply explained, "The mission this time seems to be very mysterious. We've been in Jiangzhou for some time now. We've been changing our foothold every day, but we haven't received any orders from the higher-ups."
"No orders?"
Qin Fang was also stunned. He thought that he could learn something from Charlie, but he did not expect the same result …
"If not, we wouldn't be bored and take on this mission to assassinate you!"
Thinking of this, Charlie also had a bitter smile on his face. How were they taking on a mission to earn extra money? They had simply provoked some jinxes. Although he did not ask in detail, he knew that Andrew and Umbra were most likely not coming back.
"Then you know who wants to assassinate me … Forget it. Since you received the mission from the assassin platform, you definitely don't know the information of the perpetrator!"
Qin Fang wanted to ask about the origin of his enemies, but when he thought about the source of their mission, he waved his hand and gave up. There was no need to ask. Even if he asked Charlie and the others, they wouldn't know.
"This … Perhaps I know!"
However, Charlie was taken aback for a moment, then he said coldly.
Charlie wasn't stupid. After saying so much, he seemed to be very honest and cooperative, but he didn't say anything substantial. He was also afraid that Qin Fang would kill them directly because he felt that they were useless.
"Speak …"
Qin Fang was stunned for a moment before he said with a gloomy face.
In fact, he had a suspect in his heart, but he couldn't be sure. Now that Charlie said that he might know, he wanted to see if it was the same person he was thinking of …
"People from the six great Chinese families in Northern America …"
Charlie gave the answer very simply. Although it wasn't too clear, it also made Qin Fang's eyes light up.
"It seems that we have guessed the same thing!"
Qin Fang now had a lot of enemies, but in Jiangzhou, it seemed that only Chen Lin, who had suffered a loss in his hands, could cause trouble to the extent of hiring assassins to kill him!
Chen Lin had this channel, this capital, this strength, and even sufficient motive … If this matter had nothing to do with him, Qin Fang felt that it was impossible.
Now, not only Qin Fang felt this way, but even Charlie, an outsider, felt this way, which meant that this matter was very likely to be true … Perhaps Chen Lin was too high-profile. He didn't cover up such a thing that should have been a secret.
Charlie was silent. He looked at Qin Fang quietly, but there was obviously some tension in his eyes. It was nonsense to say that he didn't care and wasn't afraid … If there was a chance to live, no one wanted to die like this.
"Although your answer can't satisfy me, but … I can give your entire team a chance!"
Qin Fang naturally saw through Charlie's thoughts. The smile on his face was still as bright as ever, and he said slowly.
"Please say …"
Charlie's tone was slightly relaxed, but he still asked nervously.
"Help me kill a person …"
Qin Fang said in an indifferent tone, as if this was just a trivial matter.
"Who?"
Charlie had actually vaguely guessed who Qin Fang was talking about, but he still couldn't help but ask.
"Chen Lin!"
Qin Fang simply said the person's name, "Since he wants to kill me, then I don't mind letting him have a taste of this … After it's done, the grievances between us will be completely written off!"
"This …"
Hearing Qin Fang's condition, Charlie's face also showed hesitation.
Using such a condition in exchange for his life was actually more cost-effective … As the saying goes, it's better to die than to die. Anyway, as long as they survive, who cares who dies?
But …
Chen Lin's identity was special. The six major Chinese families were not only powerful in the Northern America, but they were also very famous in the underground world. The Qing Gang was also considered a part of the underground world, and it was not much worse than the Yamaguchi-gumi.
Killing Chen Lin was tantamount to offending the Qing Gang … The consequences of that would be extremely serious!
Of course, the Demon's Hand Mercenary Group could handle it, but the problem was, would the Demon's Hand offend the six major Chinese families for a mere elite team?
This was a more critical point …
However, the possibility of the Demon's Hand Mercenary Group giving up on them was too high …
It seemed that Qin Fang's condition of letting them live was not much different from killing them directly. It was no wonder that Charlie had such an expression.
"What?
You don't want to … "
Qin Fang looked at Charlie with a smile and asked indifferently. "This is your only chance. As long as you do it well, then everything is negotiable … I can even help you avoid the pursuit of the six major families!"
"What do you want?"
Hearing Qin Fang's words, Charlie immediately reacted and asked with an ugly expression.
"I don't want anything. Someone wants to kill me, so I'll send him on his way first … It's just that due to some reasons, I can't do it myself, and I can't even use my own strength to do it, so … I can only find someone to do it for me!"
Qin Fang did not intend to hide his purpose at all and simply said it.
As he said, the conflict between him and Chen Lin was public, but the news that Chen Lin wanted to assassinate him was very secretive … If Qin Fang did it himself, it would cause a lot of trouble.
After all, the six major Chinese families behind Chen Lin had a very close relationship and influence with the higher-ups of Long Province. Qin Fang's foundation was in Long Province, and he did not want to be driven out like the Demon Sect … Then, these things that were too obvious could not be done.
Not being able to do it himself did not mean that he would not do anything!
If Chen Lin could hire someone to kill someone, why couldn't he, Qin Fang, do the same?
Letting Chen Lin hire someone to assassinate Chen Lin … even if the six major Chinese families investigated this matter, they would not be able to link it to Qin Fang. At most, it would just be an internal conflict because they did not come to an agreement on the terms.
"After this matter is settled, I will return your freedom, and I can even give you some money so that you can retire completely … If you still want to survive in the Underground World, I can also take you under my wing!"
It had to be said that Charlie's team was quite strong; even Qin Fang was tempted to take them in.
Chen Da and company were very strong as well. However, their skills had been forcefully raised by Qin Fang. They were still unable to adapt to the harsher and harsher conditions in the Underground World. They could deal with master-grade martial artists and even ordinary Grandmaster-Grade martial artists without any problems. However, if they met a King-Ranked martial artist, their fates would be dire.
Based on their experience, they might be considered very rich. However, compared to the skills of King-Ranked martial artists who had fought their way out of the Blood Sea, they were far from it … they might even be inferior to this five-man team in front of them.
If he could take in this team, Qin Fang would have a decent military force in his hands. What's more, they would be the most suitable to do dirty work. There were some things that this team would be more suitable for than Chen Da and company!
"Follow you?"
Charlie was also a smart person. He quickly grasped the main point in Qin Fang's words. At the same time, he quickly thought about it in his mind.
It was undeniable that Qin Fang was a King-Ranked martial artist. What's more, he was still very young. In the future, he would have a lot of room for growth. He might even become a King-Ranked or Thearch-Ranked martial artist.
If they could follow such a master, they would be able to achieve great things in the future as well. If they could bask in his light, they would be able to do a hundred, a thousand, or even ten thousand times better than what they were doing now.
Although they were an elite team and were much stronger than those in the outer circle, they were still at the bottom of the hierarchy in the Devil's Hand. There were many other elite teams that were even stronger than them. There were even more frightening protectors and the real Devil's Hand Guards!
When they were on ordinary missions, the outer circle members were cannon fodder. They were considered elites. However, when they were on very important missions, these elite teams would become cannon fodder. The protectors and the Devil's Hand Guards would be the real core!
Even if these elite teams were to be annihilated, they had to ensure that the higher-ups' battle strength remained intact.
"Alright, I promise you!"
It was precisely because he understood this that Charlie quickly made a decision in his heart. He immediately agreed without hesitation.
