"Lin Aotian, founder of the Lin Family under Shenglin Group, has one wife and one son. His son is the current head of the Lin Family. Major family affairs are generally handled by the council of elders. The council's five elders are all veteran contributors who founded Shenglin Group alongside Lin Aotian back then. Lin Aotian's son, the current family head, has one son, one daughter, and one adopted son. The son is Lin Tianyu, the daughter is Lin Tianjiao, and the adopted son was originally named Pan Yu before changing his name to Lin Yu. There are six direct descendants in total, so please pay six million US dollars, sir!" The mixed-race beauty casually tapped the computer screen a few times, and Shenglin Group's information appeared.
A faint smile touched Li Yang's lips, but he snorted coldly inwardly. Only six million US dollars? Hmph, Lin Tianyu, I'll make your entire family live in terror. When you travel, an armor-piercing round will appear every now and then. When you eat, some timed bomb will show up! Just imagining Lin Tianyu being plagued by countless assassins every day filled Li Yang with a surge of satisfaction.
Li Yang then recalled the second reason he had come—becoming an assassin, a lone assassin who came and went alone.
"Miss, I'm planning to become an assassin. Where do I register? Oh, and here's the bank card!" Li Yang watched the eight million US dollars on his card become two million without the slightest pang of regret.
If one was strong enough, becoming an assassin was an excellent way to earn vast sums of money. Naturally, that was only if one had sufficient strength to complete the missions accepted. Li Yang needed money to deal with the Lin Family. The Underground Boxing Ring and the assassin trade were both industries where money came fast, but they were also terrifying industries with high death rates.
After receiving the six million US dollars, the mixed-race beauty's mood improved considerably. After all, brokers like them earned commissions. Hearing that Li Yang wanted to become an assassin, she immediately said enthusiastically:
"The three truly strongest assassin organizations in the Assassin World are Japan's Twin Flowers, Russia's Extermination, and the legend of the Assassin World—China's Heavenly Cripple! Twin Flowers is divided into the Chrysanthemum Group and the Cherry Blossom Group, consisting respectively of ninjas and samurai! Russia's Extermination is almost entirely made up of Snow Wolfmen from Siberia. Snow Wolfmen can rival the werewolves of the Dark Council, though their numbers are far fewer than the Dark Council's. As for Heavenly Cripple, the assassin organization of eastern China, it is simply too mysterious. No one has ever heard of a target watched by Heavenly Cripple surviving. Heavenly Cripple is the legend of our Assassin World."
Upon hearing this, Li Yang raised his brows. "Japan's Twin Flowers, Russia's Extermination, China's Heavenly Cripple?"
The mixed-race beauty continued, "Of course, our Assassin World does not consist of only those three. There are also many lone wolves. If you register by yourself, sir, you'll be considered a lone wolf. Registration is simple. You only need to register with a VIP card and pay a ten-thousand-dollar registration fee, and you'll officially become an assassin. From then on, you can accept missions directly online!"
"Since you've only just registered, sir, you may not be familiar with the Assassin World, so let me briefly remind you about weapons. Lone wolves generally use firearms. Only those with exceptionally powerful personal strength use cold weapons. Let me remind you of one thing: the enemies encountered in Assassin World missions generally aren't ordinary people. Ordinary bullets won't do. You usually need armor-piercing rounds and other bullets with exceptionally strong penetration!" The mixed-race beauty kindly reminded him.
Li Yang did not care. With his flying daggers, why would he need firearms?
But Li Yang immediately frowned. If I make a name for myself in the underground world with flying daggers, will anyone back home suspect my identity? And Lin Tianyu—will he suspect that I'm Li Yang? Lin Tianyu's strength has now reached at least the level of a sixth-level expert. I'm still no match for him. This isn't the time to clash head-on with him. If he learns my identity, that'll be troublesome. At the very least, I need to wait until my strength surpasses his! Mm, I can't use flying daggers!
The name Little Li Flying Dagger was quite famous in the underground world. Once Li Yang used flying daggers, many people would surely suspect his identity.
But if he did not use flying daggers, what weapon could he use?
Firearms? Back when he was in the Dragon Fang Special Forces, Li Yang had indeed been proficient with firearms. But Li Yang understood that truly top-tier assassins would not use firearms. Firearms made too much noise and were easily discovered. Moreover, against genuine experts, firearms were actually inferior to cold weapons.
Hearing the mixed-race beauty mention armor-piercing rounds, Li Yang's heart suddenly stirred. Armor-piercing rounds? A thought instantly surged into his mind, and Li Yang immediately grew excited. He had thought of the weapon he would use as an assassin.
"Miss, register me. As for my codename, call me Bullet!" Li Yang smiled mysteriously.
The mixed-race beauty was somewhat confused, muttering, "Bullet? Bullet? What a strange codename."
Five minutes later.
"This is your assassin account and password, sir. From now on, you can accept missions directly online. The payment for missions will be transferred straight into your bank account." The mixed-race beauty handed Li Yang a set of registration documents.
"Killer Bullet—Class C!"
Inside Li Yang's villa.
"Haha... good. My flying daggers can kill, and bullets fired from guns can kill. What if I use bullets as if they were flying daggers?" Thoughts raced through Li Yang's mind inside the villa. "No, why do I have to use bullets? Wouldn't Iron Marbles work just as well? And from the standpoint of force, Iron Marbles would be even more powerful!"
Back when Li Yang was in Security Bureau Group 9, his Internal Energy had only reached the first layer, yet his flying dagger attacks had already surpassed bullets in power. Now, Li Yang had cultivated the Demon Yang Canon to the fourth layer, and his physical strength had reached the realm of a fifth-level expert. He was stronger than before by an unknown amount. Even if Li Yang used Iron Marbles now, the power when he fired them would likely far exceed that of his former flying daggers.
With Li Yang's terrifying finger strength, combined with his unique flying dagger techniques, as well as Li Yang's Innate True Qi—ha, their power would definitely surpass armor-piercing rounds. If marbles could achieve such offensive strength, Li Yang would have enough capital to become a top-tier assassin.
Excitement overflowed across Li Yang's face. "Flying daggers—ha, the exquisite techniques of Little Li Flying Dagger don't necessarily have to be used on flying daggers. As long as I improve them properly, I can use them on marbles too. In ancient China, plucking flowers and leaves could wound people—that was because one's cultivation was profound. Even in ancient times, I would count as an Innate Stage expert. And my physical strength is far stronger than my Innate True Qi. I won't use flower petals or leaves—I'll use marbles. Then my attack power should be greater than if I used petals!"
Li Yang's face suddenly became even more excited. "Right, I also have the Evasion Technique—the Evasion Technique from the Immortal Realm, an Evasion Technique even more formidable than the supreme canon of the Five Elements Sect in the Kunlun Immortal Realm. With the Evasion Technique, who can evade my assassinations? Even if I can't kill the other party, with the Evasion Technique, who can hurt me?"
"Hello, Old Jack? Help me buy some marbles, as many as possible. Yes, marbles—Iron Marbles!"
Li Yang hung up the phone, the smile on his face growing even brighter. "In the past, I could carry at most a dozen or so flying daggers on me. Any more would affect my movements. But marbles? Haha, carrying a hundred of them should be easy!"
"But starting today, I'll have to slightly modify Little Li Flying Dagger's flying dagger techniques to make them more suited to marbles!" Li Yang secretly resolved.
