(A new month, asking for monthly passes.)
The Lady Boss was a woman, a suprely attractive mature woman who was only thirty, still bursting with charm.
She was called the Lady Boss, yet there was no boss. She ran a teahouse, which contained no tea, only various kinds of tables.
Each table had a price tag. The outermost table was priced at thirty thousand. That is to say, if you wanted to sit there, you had to pay thirty thousand yuan, which was the rule.
Of course, a table itself wouldn't be worth that much money. The Lady Boss was a professional assassin broker. The price of a table represented the down paynt for an assassination. The down paynt was twenty percent, aning the assassin hired via the thirty thousand yuan table would cost a total of one hundred and fifty thousand yuan.
From outside to inside, there were a total of nine Taoist Sects, and behind each sect, there was a room, each room containing a table. And the price for each table was different.
The table in the second to last room was priced at ten million yuan, aning you had to pay ten million yuan to sit there for a while. The table in the innermost room had no price tag, a place where even money couldn't grant entrance.
The Lady Boss's business was not very good, yet even if she took only one order a month, even if it were just from the outermost thirty thousand yuan table, it was enough for her to live on. Not to ntion, few people sat at the thirty thousand yuan tables. Most who ca to her opted for the fifth room's fifty thousand yuan table.
This table cost fifty thousand yuan to sit at once. Not to ntion having one deal a month, even if it were just one deal every few months, she could live quite comfortably.
Moreover, she received several orders each month, so the Lady Boss lived very well. After all, the assassin industry never lacked for business.
When Bai Liangcai and his two assistants arrived at the Lady Boss's place, it was already past nine in the evening. The teahouse business was generally poor at night, but the Lady Boss's place was an exception. Her main business occurred at night, so the teahouse stayed open very late.
Inside the entire teahouse, only the Lady Boss sat, wearing a form-fitting cheongsam. Under the dim lights, her exquisite figure stirred the heartstrings of every man.
Bai Liangcai had heard of the Lady Boss before, but this was his first ti seeing her in person. It must be said, this woman took feminine allure to its extre, with every motion exuding a captivating charm.
"If I could be her man, I'd willingly live ten years less!" Bai Liangcai muttered to himself, his eyes wandering over the Lady Boss, even feeling sowhat audacious.
Seeing him like this, one assistant hurriedly pulled him aside and whispered, "Boss, stop staring at her!"
"Why?" Bai Liangcai wondered aloud. Such a beautiful woman shouldn't one appreciate her? Besides, she's just a woman; what could she do to him just for looking?
The assistant didn't dare to speak further, only nervously gesturing with his hands. Bai Liangcai reluctantly shifted his gaze, knowing his assistant was steady and must have his reasons.
The Lady Boss seed not to notice Bai Liangcai's gaze. With a sway of her waist, she approached the two n and smiled, "Which table would you like to sit at?"
"The fifty thousand one!" Bai Liangcai responded directly, having already been inford of the pricing by his assistant before coming. The fifty thousand yuan table was the one in the fifth room.
"It seems you two are quite knowledgeable..." The Lady Boss said with a faint smile, "However, the rule here is to see the money first."
Imdiately, the assistant placed a case in front of the Lady Boss. After she had opened and glanced at it, she nodded in satisfaction and ushered Bai Liangcai into the fifth room, while his assistant waited outside.
As soon as they sat down, the Lady Boss directly asked, "Who is the target? Where are they now? How long is the mission tiline?"
Bai Liangcai looked at the Lady Boss's prominent chest, took a deep breath and began, "Ye Qing, he..."
"Hold on!" The Lady Boss interrupted Bai Liangcai abruptly, her brow slightly furrowed, "The target is Ye Qing?"
"What's the matter?" Bai Liangcai was startled, "You won't take the job?"
"It's not that I won't take it, just, the price you're offering isn't quite right," the Lady Boss calmly looked at Bai Liangcai, "Soone has offered
thirty million yuan to kill him. And now you co offering just over two million yuan for his life?"
"What?" Bai Liangcai's eyes imdiately widened, "Who... who... who offered thirty million?"
The Lady Boss smiled lightly, "Sorry, I can't answer that question for you."
"Thirty million? Who the hell has gone mad?" Bai Liangcai furrowed his brow, looked at the Lady Boss, and said, "But his price, it doesn't clash with my offer. Soone is willing to pay thirty million, and with my additional two million plus, wouldn't you earn more?"
The Lady Boss shook her head, "If I've taken thirty million from soone else, then if you want Ye Qing dead, you also need to bring thirty million. Otherwise, how would I explain it to the other person?"
Bai Liangcai chuckled, "You don't say, I don't say, who would know?"
The Lady Boss still shook her head, "This is about integrity, doing business is all about integrity."
"Is there really no room for negotiation?" Bai Liangcai furrowed his brows, clearly irritated. Being asked to pay over two million to take soone's life was already sowhat unwilling for him. Now that his business wasn't being accepted, he was even more displeased.
The Lady Boss said, "This is how it is here; there's no need for negotiation."
"Fine, you've got guts!" Bai Liangcai gritted his teeth, stood up, and pointed at the Lady Boss, "I don't believe I can't kill that Ye without you. Wait until I kill him, and then we'll see where you find those thirty million!"
"Whatever you say!" The Lady Boss chuckled as she stood up, "Take care, I won't see you out."
Bai Liangcai was anxious, "What do you an you won't see
out? Give
back my fifty thousand first!"
The Lady Boss still wore that charming smile, "Sorry, your fifty thousand has already been spent."
"What do you an it's been spent? I haven't done anything since I ca in, what could I have possibly spent it on?" Bai Liangcai glared, "I didn't even drink a cup of water, don't play gas with !"
"Sitting at this table costs ten thousand. Talking with
in this room costs ten thousand yuan a minute. We've been talking for about ten minutes, that's another ten thousand," the Lady Boss smiled faintly, "Plus, from the mont you walked in, you've been staring at
for a long ti. Especially just now, when you were looking where you shouldn't have been. Looking at my body is worth an eye.
Are your two eyes worth thirty thousand?"
Bai Liangcai was imdiately furious, already displeased with the Lady Boss's attitude. Now her words infuriated him completely. Moreover, she was just a weak woman, and Bai Liangcai felt he should not have to bow down to her!
"I'll give you one more chance, repeat what you just said!" Bai Liangcai yelled furiously, "You bitch, is your body really that valuable? Just one look, and I should have my eyes gouged out, who the fuck do you think you are?"
The Lady Boss still smiled lightly, "Cursing, however, will cost you your tongue!"
Bai Liangcai slamd the table and cursed, "Cut the crap and give
back my money right now. Otherwise, don't bla
for being rude!"
The Lady Boss smiled faintly and slowly turned to leave. As Bai Liangcai reached to flip the table, suddenly, a delicate hand reached over from behind, placing a short dagger, thinner than the wing of a cicada, perfectly on his neck. The chilling blade made him stop imdiately, now understanding what it felt like to have his life hanging by a thread.
Behind Bai Liangcai, a girl about fifteen or sixteen years old had appeared at so point. She was pretty but the chilling glare in her eyes was truly horrifying.
"Lady Boss, what should we do?" the girl squinted and asked softly. The cicada-wing thin dagger in her hand glided lightly, seeming ready to slice through Bai Liangcai's neck at any mont.
"Keep the money, let him get lost!" the Lady Boss replied with a smile.
The girl nodded, looked at Bai Liangcai, and said, "Did you understand?"
Bai Liangcai nodded, and only then did the girl put away the short dagger.
Bai Liangcai took a deep breath, oblivious as to how the girl had appeared. Yet, she truly was fierce—this was the first ti in his life he had seen such a cold-eyed young girl.
The girl paid no attention to Bai Liangcai, turning to follow the Lady Boss inside. Bai Liangcai watched the two walk away, suddenly gritted his teeth, and leaped over the table, reaching out to grab the girl. Despite her fierceness, both were won, and he was confident he could control the situation.
As Bai Liangcai jumped up, before he even landed, the girl had already turned around, her short dagger thrusting straight towards his chest. In other words, Bai Liangcai was jumping straight into her dagger.
Bai Liangcai's face paled, it was too late to dodge, he could only twist his body forcibly, using his arm to block the dagger. Nevertheless, the short dagger truly stabbed into his arm, the severe pain making him cry out involuntarily.
The Lady Boss glanced back at him, softly saying, "Mr. Bai, you should leave. You can always earn back money, but losing your life isn't worth it!"
By now, Bai Liangcai finally understood the gap between him and the girl; clutching his arm, he said nothing and promptly turned to leave.
Outside, his assistant saw Bai Liangcai, bleeding from his arm, run out and turned pale. He hurriedly approached, anxiously saying, "Boss, did you… did you upset her?"
Bai Liangcai frowned deeply, replied sternly, "That damn bitch, once my injury heals, I'll bring n to tear down her teahouse!"
"Boss, please don't!" The assistant hurriedly covered Bai Liangcai's mouth, whispering, "This woman, you can't afford to offend her!"
"Why?" Bai Liangcai wondered aloud.
"Because..." the assistant hesitated, glancing back at the teahouse, whispered, "The person sitting at the farthest table is Ghost-Faced Yama!"
"Ghost-Faced Yama?" Bai Liangcai's eyes widened, his face instantly turning pale. He finally understood the tough adversary he had encountered!
No wonder the Lady Boss, a woman, could be so dominant in Shenchuan City. With Ghost-Faced Yama stationed here, even those two demonic won from Eastern Province wouldn't dare to make trouble here!
