Chapter 478: Mr. Xu, Give Me One More Chance (Part One)
The Assassin King, as the founder and boss of the Assassin Alliance, usually didn’t have to do much in terms of management, because there was a person at every post to oversee the operations. However, he would still look over all the targets’ profiles that get published, sometimes before and sometimes after. When he saw Xu Cheng’s profile and how the assassination mission was already activated, he was shocked.
He directly called the HQ and scolded the staff.
“Hurry and delete this mission right now! Tell the three assassins that are assigned to it to stop immediately!”
“Boss… I’m afraid it’s already too late. After they begin the operation, they would turn off their phones and all contact methods to avoid being interrupted mid-task.”
“Sh*!” Solo cursed and said, “Give me the detailed location of this target too.”
After receiving the information, Solo directly went to Las Vegas.
The three assassins had already spent a few days investigating Xu Cheng’s habits and normal whereabouts, planning out the operation.
And on one dark night, they decided to execute the plan!
Xu Cheng had a villa in Las Vegas. It was purchased by Stenson and cost a couple of millions, but it was mere pennies for Xu Cheng.
“How about it? Did you enjoy your time in the cell?” Xu Cheng teased Stenson after he was released from the detention cell.
Stenson bitterly smiled. “My girlfriend thought I abandoned her without telling her. I think the biggest gain from this whole thing is that I think my woman can’t live without me. It’s a pretty good feeling to know how much I’m needed.”
Speaking of this, Stenson couldn’t help but look at Xu Cheng and ask, “Boss, the police told me that you sniped a lot of money in Las Vegas?”
Xu Cheng looked him in his eyes, and after a while, he smiled. “Yeah, I won the money fair and square, you got a problem?”
Stenson: “No problem. Also, did the senator recover already?”
“Yeah,” Xu Cheng said.
Stenson’s eyes lit up.
What Jerry had was Stage-4 cancer! Some time ago, the news said he actually recovered, and Stenson was in complete disbelief.
Jerry began to make frequent press appearances, so that means, the boss actually has the ability to cure cancer?
This is definitely a boss with great potential, definitely a giant cash cow!
“You trust that I didn’t betray you, right?” Stenson said.
“I do.” Xu Cheng said, “It’s not that you didn’t betray me, but more like you couldn’t betray me, because you know nothing about me.”
Stenson was about to say something but he was interrupted by Xu Cheng. “But after tonight, you won’t even dare to think about betraying me.”
Stenson’s body trembled as he thought Xu Cheng was about to brainwash him or something.
But at this moment, someone sounded the doorbell.
Stenson wanted to use this opportunity to slip away from the topic, so he immediately got up and said, “I’ll go and open the door.”
“No need.” Xu Cheng stopped his action and said, “All the doors here are remotely controlled.”
Then, Lin Dong used a remote controller and opened the door.
At this time, three men dressed in a cleaning company’s uniform walked in.
As they walked in, they immediately saw three guys in the living room.
“Was it you guys that called about something wrong with your toilet? We are here to help you with maintenance,” one of the killers said.
Lin Dong frowned. “We didn’t make such a call.”

“It was me.” At this time, Xu Cheng said with a faint smile, “It’s not the washroom, it’s the air conditioning that has a problem. Can you guys fix it?”
The three assassins awkwardly said, “All the same.”
At this time, Stenson said in confusion, “Plumbing and fixing air conditioners are two different jobs, right? Are you guys sure you can do both?”
“Uhhh…” The three assassins felt like their cover was about to be blown.
One of the killers thought ‘Just fack it’, and after exchanging a look with the other two guys, he shouted. “What’s with so many questions!”
Then, he immediately took out a pistol from his toolbox and fired directly at Stenson.
After all, the target was already confirmed, and killing two more people just meant using two more bullets, no reason to not take care of loose ends.
When Stenson saw the guy pulling out the gun, his face was already pale white, and his body already lost the ability to move out of the way.
But at this moment, a figure suddenly floated in front of him. When the bullet fired out from the barrel, Xu Cheng nonchalantly reached out his arm. It was as if the bullet wasn’t a hot and fatal ball of lead, but a playful rubber ball that was thrown at him as he caught it between his fingers.
Ding!
When the bullet shell dropped onto the ground, it made a noise that could be heard because it was just that quiet.
Dead silence.
Lin Dong’s eyes opened up wide!
Other than that fight with the North Gate leader, and that one time teaching the North Gate thugs a lesson, he hadn’t seen many other fights, nor did he have a clear concept of just how powerful his teacher really is. Even though Li Wei and Luo Yi always talked about how he didn’t deserve a teacher as good as Xu Cheng, Lin Dong still felt this teacher wasn’t one that was so out of his league that he would feel guilty of.
But at this moment, when he saw his teacher catching the bullet with his bare hands, Lin Dong’s worldview already shattered!
That’s the kind of feeling as if an atheist one day saw something so supernatural that it completely shattered all the common sense he had developed in the past. This kind of shocking feeling forced Lin Dong’s heart to beat violently!
His teacher just nonchalantly caught the bullet like this, so easily. Lin Dong didn’t even see the exact moment that bullet was caught, it was more like an instant switch of the picture with someone that just appeared in front of Stenson with the bullet already in his hand.
Stenson also looked at his boss dumbfoundedly, the boss that blocked the bullet for him.
And if those two guys’ eyes were more of shock and dumbfoundedness, those three assassins’ looks were more of shock and terror.
What the fack?
He just caught the bullet?
The assassin that fired that shot was still in disbelief and he lifted his hand and emptied the whole clip at Xu Cheng.
Xu Cheng’s hand moved in the air at a speed untrackable by the naked eye, and after a few seconds, he opened his palm, and all of the bullets fell to the ground.
“I just want to ask, how much is the bounty on my head?”
The assassins were dumbfounded. They all felt an unprecedented feeling of terror and were prepared to turn around and just run.
At this time, a guy floated in from the front door. With a dagger in hand, he immediately sliced those three assassins’ throats!
This person was none other than the assassin king that was late – Solo.
“Mr. Xu, I’m sorry, my men are too careless. Please give me another chance. To make up for this mistake, I’m willing to bring you the head of the person that placed the bounty on you!” Solo said.
