As the two added their information, the Black Tower branch formally submitted the mission to Black Tower headquarters.
According to the information from the Black Tower branch, the headquarters sent the bounty mission to twenty registered assassins possessing Grandmaster level strength.
These individuals were closest to Nanmo Kingdom and could reach Jianghai City, where Qin Hanchu was located, in the shortest possible time.
On the sea of Nanmo Kingdom, there was an island named Sea King Island.
Although this island was located within the waters of Nanmo Kingdom, it had already been purchased privately.
On the cliff of the island, a villa with a sci-fi design was built; it was the only residence on the island.
In front of the villa was a vast lawn, on which an off-road vehicle and a helicopter were parked.
This island and everything on it belonged to a man codenamed Sea King.
On the rooftop of the villa, Sea King was cultivating in a cross-legged position.
Just then, his phone rang.
Sea King's eyes suddenly opened; this phone had not rung for a long time.
Picking up the phone, the message on it was precisely about the bounty information on Qin Hanchu.
“Two hundred million? Consider it pocket money.”
After saying this to himself, Sea King got up and left the rooftop.
A moment later, he walked into his armory.
This armory contained not only cold weapons but also firearms and other hot weapons.
Sea King was a middle-aged man around fifty years old, with a very robust physique.
He skillfully selected weapons and then equipped them on his person.
Ten minutes later, the helicopter in front of the villa took off towards Jianghai City.
Based on the helicopter's speed, it would only take two hours to reach Jianghai City.
In the early morning, Qin Hanchu was still cultivating in the villa, waiting for the appearance of a Grandmaster level bounty hunter.
Through a Grandmaster level bounty hunter, he could gain a relatively in-depth understanding of the martial arts system of this world.
“The efficacy of the Qi Nourishing Pill is no longer keeping up with my progress. I need to find some more precious medicinal ingredients.”
“Even more precious medicinal ingredients are hard to find on the market. I’m afraid I’ll have to rely on other channels.”
Time flew by, and it was already half past ten in the morning.
At this moment, Qin Hanchu's doorbell rang.
He got up, walked over, and opened the door.
Standing outside was none other than Sea King, who had flown in from his private island.
Qin Hanchu could sense Sea King's strength and knew that the person he was waiting for had arrived.
“You’re coming to my door so openly? You’re very confident in your strength.”
Qin Hanchu said as he walked into the living room and sat down.
“I just want you to die with clarity, so you don’t have to go to the battlefield of souls wondering who killed you.” Sea King walked into Qin Hanchu’s villa and closed the door casually.
Qin Hanchu poured himself a glass of juice and gestured to the sofa, saying, “Sit down and chat for a while?”
“What? Your experts aren’t around? Does that mean I can complete the mission easily?” Sea King scanned the surroundings of the villa.
“Experts?” Qin Hanchu chuckled. “I think you’ve misunderstood. The expert you’re referring to is me, and there’s no one else.”
“You?” Sea King asked with a surprised laugh. “How old are you?”
Qin Hanchu replied, “Age is related to strength, but this relationship isn’t absolute. Let me ask you a question, what level is your strength in the martial arts world? An expert? A top-tier powerhouse?”
“I wouldn’t call myself a top-tier powerhouse, but it’s more than enough to kill you.” Sea King casually took out a short knife. “I’ve given you enough time. Remember my name is Sea King.”
As the last sentence fell, Sea King suddenly launched an attack on Qin Hanchu.
Sea King, as expected of a Grandmaster level expert, attacked with the speed of lightning.
In Sea King’s mind, his swift attack would definitely throw Qin Hanchu into disarray.
If Qin Hanchu were not a Grandmaster, this attack would have been enough to kill him.
Just as Sea King’s blade was about to slice through Qin Hanchu’s throat, a palm suddenly grabbed Sea King’s knife-wielding hand.
Qin Hanchu gripped Sea King’s wrist, and the latter’s knife stopped within three centimeters of Qin Hanchu’s neck, unable to advance an inch further.
This scene shocked Sea King. He stared at Qin Hanchu in disbelief. “You really are a Grandmaster!”
Qin Hanchu smiled. “Did you think I was joking with you?”
Sea King exerted force, trying to break free from Qin Hanchu’s grip.
But to Sea King’s surprise, even though he used considerable force, Qin Hanchu’s hand held his as firmly as iron pincers.
From this small confrontation alone, Sea King knew that Qin Hanchu’s strength surpassed his.
Without any hesitation, Sea King pulled out his handgun and intended to shoot Qin Hanchu at close range.
But just as he was about to fire, a crisp cracking sound was heard.
Ah!
The sound came from Sea King’s right wrist; Qin Hanchu had directly crushed Sea King’s wrist bone.
The piercing pain caused Sea King to let out a hysterical scream.
At this moment, Sea King was terrified. He was a Grandmaster level expert, so how could his wrist bone be so easily crushed by Qin Hanchu?
As he screamed, Qin Hanchu casually snatched the gun from Sea King’s left hand.
Before Sea King could react, a powerful kick landed on his knee.
Another bone-crushing sound echoed, and Sea King screamed again.
Under Qin Hanchu’s strength, Sea King’s left leg was now crippled.
Qin Hanchu spun and kicked, sending Sea King’s body flying backward before he crashed heavily against the wall.
Pfft!
Sea King couldn’t help but spit out a mouthful of blood. “You… how could you?”
“Do you want to live or die?” Qin Hanchu sat back on the sofa, playing with the handgun in his hand, and asked calmly.
Sea King endured the severe pain. “I’m not a three-year-old child; you can’t trick me into talking.”
“Then let’s just chat. I won’t ask about sensitive matters.” Qin Hanchu leaned back lazily on the sofa. “To the best of your knowledge, who is the strongest person in the martial arts world?”
“The Tower Lord of Black Tower, the Alliance Leader of the Hundred Nations Alliance, and some reclusive old-timers.”
“I don’t know how strong they are, but they can be described as unfathomable.”
“I’ve answered… I’ve answered your question. Should you also answer one of mine?”
“What is your realm?”
Sea King retorted, enduring the pain.
Qin Hanchu did not answer. He said, “You can also describe me as unfathomable.”
“You…”
Before Sea King could finish speaking, Qin Hanchu raised the gun and shot through Sea King’s forehead.
Placing the gun on the table, he took out his phone and called the Jinhan administrator.
About twenty minutes later, the Jinhan administrator arrived with his men.
Qin Hanchu pointed at Sea King’s body on the ground and said, “Deal with it.”
The Jinhan administrator, accustomed to such tasks, led his men to carry away Sea King’s corpse and clean up the bloodstains on the ground.
After the Jinhan administrator left, Qin Hanchu muttered to himself, “What does unfathomable mean? Grandmaster or Martial King realm?”
