Waste!

After finishing his Wood Powder Porridge with great satisfaction, Xiao Yang sent Li Zhen to Greedy Wolf's stronghold to confirm if Xian He had been killed.

He wouldn't go out with the money during the day.

Firstly, with so many eyes around, carrying a sack of money to the Black Oil Forest in broad daylight would be obvious to any fool.

Secondly, if Xiao Lang's hired killer failed to complete the mission, and he carried the money over, Xiao Lang would definitely keep it. Xiao Lang was a wolf who didn't spit out bones after eating, so why would he let such a prize slip through his fingers?

However, Xiao Lang's hired killer shouldn't fail, as Xian He was just a trash of Two-star Azure Obsidian.

"Yun Ling, don't worry, I won't dislike you. Even if you've been with others, I'll still want you." Xiao Yang walked home with his hands behind his back, his heart filled with joy and warmth.

Meanwhile, Li Zhen arrived at Greedy Wolf's stronghold as if he owned the place.

Because he was a major client, no one stopped him along the way, and he quickly reached the Hall of Gathering Righteousness to meet Xiao Lang.

"Boss Xiao Lang, I've come to see Xian He's head," Li Zhen said, cupping his fists in a gesture of respect. His attitude was extremely deferential.

He was a very pragmatic person, tough when he needed to be, and soft when necessary. Without Xiao Yang present, he knew how to keep his head down.

Xiao Lang remained seated on his wolf-skin throne, propping his chin with one hand, and said impatiently, "Sit down and wait. Du Feng will be back with the head you want soon. It won't take long."

Damn it, why isn't that trash Du Feng back yet? The client is already here to see the head!

You're a Five-star Azure Obsidian Martial Artist, how hard can it be to kill a Two-star Azure Obsidian trash? You haven't even finished the job in one night. Damn it, you're more useless than that trash!

You're making me lose face like this. When you get back, I'll deal with you, you damn bastard!

"Alright," Li Zhen found a chair and sat down, waiting obediently.

Didn't they say I could see Xian He's head this morning? Where is it? Did they use it as a chamber pot?

Don't tell me the killer you sent hasn't finished the job yet. If that's the case, your Greedy Wolf organization's efficiency is too low!

Still calling yourselves a killer organization? It took you a whole night to kill a Two-star Azure Obsidian trash, you're worse than trash!

Li Zhen thought to himself, a hint of disdain gradually appearing on his face. "With this kind of efficiency, you dare to ask for two thousand Copper Coins? I really don't know how you opened your mouth."

Time flew by.

In the blink of an eye, it was noon.

"Gurgle!"

Li Zhen's stomach rumbled.

"Boss Xiao Lang!" Li Zhen stood up and couldn't help but say, "It's getting late. I won't disturb you any longer. I'll go back to eat first and come back this afternoon."

I've been waiting all morning, where's the head?

Trash! You're really trash! No, a bunch of trash!

Xiao Lang chuckled awkwardly. "Alright, you go back first. When the head arrives, I'll send someone to notify you."

Du Feng! What the hell are you doing?

Watching Li Zhen leave, Xiao Lang immediately sent his subordinate to infiltrate the Sky Fortune Tribe and check on Du Feng's situation.

He suspected Du Feng had been captured and imprisoned in the death row, or had been killed outright.

Sky Fortune Tribe, Xian He's home.

Du Feng sat on the heated brick bed, leaning against the wall, sleeping soundly.

"Slap!"

Suddenly, his face stung, and he woke up instantly, drawing the dagger hidden in his embrace.

"Good kid, finally..." Du Feng's words trailed off as he froze.

The one who hit him was not Xian He, nor Yun Ling, but Greedy Wolf's fourth-in-command, Xiao Hou, also known as "Monkey," a One-star Yellow Obsidian Martial Artist.

Xiao Hou was not only lean, with a pointed mouth and monkey-like cheeks, but also narrow-minded, vengeful, and extremely ruthless in his actions, like a demon monkey in the endless jungle below the mountain.

Du Feng put away his dagger, covering his stinging face, and asked in confusion, "Fourth-in-command, why are you here?"

"You still have the nerve to ask? What time is it? Where's the head the boss wanted?" Xiao Hou narrowed his eyes. He hadn't used his true strength just now, otherwise, one slap could have smashed the brains out of this Five-star Azure Obsidian good-for-nothing Du Feng.

You made the boss lose so much face in front of outsiders. Wait until you get back and face punishment!

Speaking of which, I just looked around the room and found no signs of a fight. Could it be that the mission target didn't come back all night?

Du Feng covered his face, on the verge of tears from grievance. "Fourth-in-command, it's not my fault. I've been lurking here all night and this morning, and I haven't seen Xian He return. Also, I haven't seen his beautiful new wife. I don't know where she's hiding."

The person isn't even home, where am I supposed to collect a head from? Collect the air?

Damn it, if I could beat you, you damn monkey, I would have beaten you so badly you wouldn't be able to take care of yourself.

"Perhaps he got wind of it and is hiding," Xiao Hou mused, stroking his furry chin.

Speaking of which, how did Xian He know Greedy Wolf would send assassins? Is there an informant in the organization?

Did Xiao Wu get the news from the informant and hide Xian He in advance?

Who could that informant be?

Also, since Xiao Wu knew Greedy Wolf's people were coming to assassinate, why didn't he arrange for someone to lie in wait? Was he afraid of angering Boss Xiao Lang, or afraid of exposing the informant?
