Chapter 563 A Big Deal
"You can do that? You've got a job with me, and then you're moonlighting. When did you become so capable?"
Chen Xuan sneered coldly, "And you've even gotten into the business of killing people. You've got quite the nerve. If your father knew this in the underworld, I wonder if he'd claw his way out of his coffin!"
With things reaching this point, how could Chen Xuan not realize that Xue Chuan was the Stone Coffin!
To be honest, Xue Chuan becoming an assassin truly angered Chen Xuan!
Seeing that he had been exposed, Xue Chuan no longer concealed it and quickly explained, "Chen Xuan, I really didn't kill anyone. The people that Hall Master Sha asked me to kill, I let them all go. They are all abroad now. The proof they wanted, I bribed people at the hospital morgue to forge."
"Really?"
"If I'm lying, then I'm your grandson... no, if I'm lying, you're my grandson."
"That's more like it."
Chen Xuan stared at Xue Chuan for a few seconds and, seeing that he didn't seem to be lying, relaxed slightly.
He didn't want Xue Chuan to become a demon who only cared about money and not people.
"Tell me, what's going on?" Chen Xuan patted Xue Chuan's shoulder.
Xue Chuan chuckled awkwardly and slowly explained.
It turned out that one night, Xue Chuan was a little too full from eating and went out for a walk to digest. By chance, he encountered Hall Master Sha being chased. Xue Chuan was someone who believed in helping those in need, but to avoid making an enemy, he put on a human skin mask and charged forward, saving Hall Master Sha.
To repay Xue Chuan, Hall Master Sha gave him a large sum of money. The matter would have ended there, but at that time, Hall Master Sha's top assassin had been killed, and the enemy's influence was too great for Hall Master Sha to handle. So, he gave Xue Chuan a large sum of money and begged him to help eliminate his enemy.
Xue Chuan had no choice but to agree. However, after accepting the money, he didn't kill anyone. Instead, he taught Hall Master Sha's enemy a lesson and arranged for him to go abroad.
Thus, through these interactions, Xue Chuan became an external aide to the Assassin Hall.
"Chen Xuan, Hall Master Sha had previously asked me to prepare to kill you, and I accepted. I planned to discuss with you later how to split this money, but I didn't expect you to show up at the banquet..." Xue Chuan said resentfully.
To kill Chen Xuan, although Xue Chuan's strength had greatly increased, he was no match for Chen Xuan at all. In their repeated encounters, Xue Chuan knew his own capabilities and naturally wouldn't really assassinate Chen Xuan.
However, it would be foolish not to earn money. Xue Chuan had experienced poverty and knew the importance of wealth.
Suddenly, Xue Chuan saw Chen Xuan extend his hand: "What for?"
"How much have you earned during this time? Let's split it!" Chen Xuan said.
Xue Chuan: "..."
Chen Xuan said, "You're not going to take it out? Don't forget, you still signed a contract with me."
Xue Chuan gritted his teeth and obediently took out a bank card: "It's not much, just over a hundred million."
"Not bad, you've earned quite a bit," Chen Xuan said with a half-smile.
"It's okay, it's okay," Xue Chuan chuckled.
He didn't expect to make money so quickly.
Suddenly, a thought struck Chen Xuan, and he smiled at Xue Chuan, "Xue Chuan, are you interested in doing another big deal with me?"
"What deal?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Xue Chuan quickly shut his mouth and shook his head like a rattle drum: "What deal? I'm never doing that again!"
Righteous and stern!
He didn't give Chen Xuan any leverage.
"How can you not do it? This is a truly big deal," Chen Xuan said with a smile.
His gaze looked like that of a cunning fox.
Seeing that Chen Xuan didn't seem to be lying, Xue Chuan said suspiciously, "Really? What deal?"
Chen Xuan's gaze sharpened: "Starting with the Assassin Hall of the Changle Chamber of Commerce, I want you to take down the entire Changle Chamber of Commerce!"
Starting with the Assassin Hall of the Changle Chamber of Commerce, take down the entire Changle Chamber of Commerce!
Chen Xuan's calm voice was like a demon's.
Xue Chuan's breath hitched, and he stared at Chen Xuan with wide eyes.
Chen Xuan's idea was very bold.
He swallowed and said with a dry laugh, "Chen Xuan, are you asking me to go undercover in the Changle Chamber of Commerce?"
Chen Xuan nodded calmly, "Are you willing?"
Xue Chuan knew this would be a very dangerous mission, but he felt it suited him perfectly, especially the role of the Stone Coffin he had been playing recently – it was incredibly exhilarating!
"I'm willing!" Xue Chuan gritted his teeth.
Chen Xuan didn't instruct Xue Chuan on anything further. Xue Chuan had the brains and the strength, and he would easily rise through the ranks in the Changle Chamber of Commerce!
Having Xue Chuan infiltrate the Changle Chamber of Commerce and seize control was not a spur-of-the-moment decision for Chen Xuan.
Xuanji Hall's development was too slow. For such a long time, it had been unable to make a name for itself in the provincial capital. Chen Xuan had been searching for a solution, and it was only when he met Xue Chuan, who went by the alias Stone Coffin, that he had this idea.
If anyone was to blame, it was the Changle Chamber of Commerce's Assassin Hall, for daring to provoke Chen Xuan.
Serves them right!
Of course, under normal circumstances, Xuanji Hall's development was not slow. Considering that it was difficult for an outside force to establish a foothold in the provincial capital, its current scale had already surprised many.
However, Chen Xuan was not satisfied with this pace of development. After all, Chen Xuan's enemies were behemoths like the Su family in the capital. With this pace of development, it would be difficult to become a sharp blade that could pierce the heart of the Su family.
He could only find an alternative route, and Xue Chuan was a crucial helper on this route.
That evening.
Hall Master Sha of the Changle Chamber of Commerce smashed all the antique vases in his house!
The top five assassins in the Assassin Hall were either dead or injured, leaving him alone. And Xue Chuan's "shit escape" had also made Hall Master Sha a laughingstock in the martial world!
However, shortly after, Hall Master Sha received good news: Stone Coffin had chosen to join the Assassin Hall!
Although Stone Coffin's escape had caused Hall Master Sha to lose face, in Hall Master Sha's eyes, Stone Coffin was very capable. At that time, Stone Coffin might have encountered a situation that required him to resolve.
He believed that if Stone Coffin encountered Chen Xuan, Chen Xuan would have no chance of winning!
The almost broken Hall Master Sha was energized again!
As for pursuing Chen Xuan, Hall Master Sha decided to put it aside for now and report it to his superiors, awaiting notification from the Changle Chamber of Commerce headquarters.
...
At midnight, the Yin energy was as thick as fog.
In a rented villa, next to the swimming pool, a ritual altar was set up.
On the altar stood a man in a feng shui robe.
In one hand, he held a black ceramic pot, and in the other, a peach wood sword. He chanted incantations on the altar.
Suddenly, he spat a mouthful of phlegm onto a candle. It was as if the phlegm were not phlegm but spirits, alcohol, or something similar, and immediately a flame three feet high erupted!
"Aunt, can Uncle really get revenge for me?" Shi Menglu asked the middle-aged man on the altar with some doubt.
"Lulu, don't worry. Today we got that live-in son-in-law's hair. With his hair, once your uncle performs the ritual, he will surely die."
Su Peizhen, sitting beside her, looked at the man on the altar with admiration.
That man was Su Peizhen's husband, Lai Changming!
Although Su Peizhen spoke with certainty, Shi Menglu remained skeptical.
What feng shui Xuan術, Gu Masters, weren't those things only in novels?
And the middle-aged man on the altar's performance, what was the difference between that and a shamanic ritual or a circus act?
Lai Changming, who was on the altar, seemed to have sensed Shi Menglu's thoughts.
With a sharp thrust of the sword in his hand, he slashed the air. With a swish, a stray dog that had wandered into the villa in the corner howled. A tuft of fur was missing from its head, and upon closer inspection, that tuft of fur was now in Lai Changming's hand.
Shi Menglu's eyes widened. This technique was too incredible!
However, what surprised her even more was yet to come...
