The old man turned his face and smiled, saying, "There's no need for you to be so hostile towards me. Since we're here, we should consider ourselves friends."
The old man was completely gray-haired, though his posture suggested he had once been a tall person.
"A coalition of interests" Wang Zheng looked at the old man without hiding his disdainful expression: "There are no eternal enemies nor everlasting friends—only lasting interests."
After saying this, Wang Zheng glanced at Bella, as if seeking an answer from her eyes, but such a gaze seemed rather unfriendly.
Bella sighed helplessly and introduced him with a gesture: "Our esteemed chairman."
"I know." Wang Zheng said coldly: "Nevertheless, since he is your esteemed chairman, I no longer hold any hope for this wretched guild."
The old man chuckled: "You're still the same as before; your nature hasn't changed at all."
Wang Zheng looked at the old man's face as if he were staring at prey, his eyes glowing with an unknown light. However, this glow was laced with a hint of ruthlessness: "What I want to know now is whether I can still claim the astronomical bounty for your head even if I kill you."
"The guild's missions don't expire. If you were to kill me, you should be able to claim it, as no one in this world dares to default on the Task Guild—this includes the American government."
Hearing the words "American government," Wang Zheng narrowed his eyes slightly, with a sharp glint emanating from them!
"Indeed, the American government is quite impressive. Such a behemoth actually uses the Task Guild to issue an assassination mission against you." Wang Zheng said mockingly: "Unfortunately for them, they didn't know that you would end up as the guild's chairman."
When pronouncing the words "Chairman Sir," Wang Zheng deliberately emphasized them, but there was no goodwill in his tone.
It seems that this old man has left a significant shadow over him.
In the past, the Eastern Demon King single-handedly completed seven gold medal missions, shocking the entire dark world. However, after those seven gold medal missions, he failed once.
Wang Zheng always acts according to his own principles; he only kills people who are utterly wicked. If the target is someone considered a good person, no matter how high the bounty offered by the mission, Wang Zheng will disdain it.
This is also why he harbors such animosity towards this old man in front of him.
The only time he failed was when he accepted the task to assassinate a certain Russian president. The target seemed to have been forewarned and surrounded him, leaving Wang Zheng no choice but to flee. But during his escape, he managed to kill seventy-eight KGB agents, or so-called elite special forces of that country.
From then on, the Eastern Demon King's conflict with Russia deepened day by day.
The president back then was this very old man!
This world is truly disillusioning!
"I didn't hate you when I was in danger of being killed by you. Why are you so indignant now" The old man smiled amicably.
"Indignant Could I not be indignant"
"Kalas Guniyev, you're just a bastard! If it weren't for your policy towards the armed forces of Car Sax Morning, would China's border region have suffered such huge losses Although these tragic scenes haven’t been exposed, I know every single detail. This is precisely why I killed you!"
Wang Zheng narrowed his eyes, and countless cold lights shone out from them.
"No no no, Kalza Gurneyev was just my former name. In my overall policy, I have always been friendly towards Huaxia; that incident really was a mistake. If you were to hold onto this and not let go, then every ruler would deserve to die ten thousand deaths." The old man said: "You can call me Ronnie now, even my mother calls me this way, very intimate, isn’t it"
"I don’t want to be intimate with you," Wang Zheng curled his lip and snorted coldly. "It makes me feel like I’m belittling myself."
Ronnie smiled, completely unconcerned about Wang Zheng’s disrespectful behavior.
"What I’m really curious about is, how did someone who’s the president of a prestigious mission guild and almost at the very top of the pyramid in the dark world become the president of Russia Wouldn’t this affect your guild’s credibility"
"Let’s talk more over dinner then. I’ve prepared the best wine for you, something that won’t be found anywhere else on this planet." Ronnie said.
If anyone else had heard Ronnie’s invitation, they would have been incredibly excited; after all, he was the mysterious president of a mission guild who could be counted as one of the top few people in the world.
But Wang Zheng just snorted with contempt: "Sorry, I’m not interested in your wine here at all. Although I do wish to know more about the inner workings of the guild, I really am pressed for time."
"Alright then, let’s go; I’ll take you to get your gun and we can chat while walking," Ronnie made a gesture for Wang Zheng to lead the way.
Wang Zheng walked ahead first, while Bella didn’t follow behind. She merely closed the door quietly after they entered a long corridor.
The corridor appeared to be at least several hundred meters in length; Wang Zheng had been walking for quite some time but it seemed like he still wasn’t reaching the end.
The lighting in the hallway was poor, with golden wall lamps on both sides of the walls. Various rare antiques were displayed along the corridor’s two sides.
Wang Zheng walked while looking around, and there was so much to see that he couldn't take it all in.
"It's really quite interesting. The ancient Egyptian Pharaoh’s scepter that everyone is talking about outside is actually here." Wang Zheng looked at a golden staff adorned with precious gems beside him and smiled with his eyes narrowed.
Ronnie laughed, "It has always been here, never leaving."
"The things in this corridor could probably buy half of Europe," said Wang Zheng. "So you are the real rich guy after all."
"How much further to go" Wang Zheng glanced at the dark ahead; this corridor seemed endless.
"We're halfway there," Ronnie replied.
"This corridor is slightly descending, isn't it" Without looking down, Wang Zheng said, "Although the slope is almost imperceptible, we must be several meters underground."
"Indeed, your observation skills are impressive," Ronnie remarked. "My people have come back and forth dozens of times without discovering this secret."
At this point, with a smile that was half-sarcastic, half-smug, Ronnie looked at Wang Zheng and said, "If you wish, everything here is yours."
"Everything is mine" Wang Zheng stared at Ronnie. "Old man, what are you up to"
"I'm not joking; the value of all these things could shock the entire world. If you want them, I'll give them all to you."
Wang Zheng intently watched Ronnie's eyes for a minute without blinking before he smiled with his eyes narrowed: "There’s an old saying in our country: ‘The fox paying respects to the hen—no good intentions.’" of safety space for himself!At this moment, the long-time junior assistant who accompanied Hou Xiaolong bravely extended his arm to block between the long sword and Hou Xiaolong's throat!The junior a...
