Recently, the bounty on Zhao Cheng has grown increasingly lucrative across all nations, causing a flock of assassin organizations to swarm toward him.
The demand for exotic hidden weapons and lethal medicinal poisons has surged throughout the underworld.
At this juncture, Yao Wuyi suddenly appeared and accepted a massive volume of orders. Whether it was poisons, healing salves, or various strange medicinal incenses and powders, he turned no one away and took every single order.
At the same time, he collected a large amount of deposits.
Yet, the day after collecting these deposits, Yao Wuyi suddenly vanished without a trace.
Many assassins searched around, only to discover an absurd reality.
This guy had defected to the enemy!
He had somehow ended up at the Peerage Mansion of Zhao Cheng!
How preposterous—one day he was crafting poisons for assassins to use against Zhao Cheng, and the next he was appearing at the Peerage Mansion, working for Zhao Cheng himself?
Then what about their deposits?
The assassins were incensed.
This fellow charged exorbitant fees and demanded half the payment upfront, which was no small sum for an assassin.
He took the money and ran—how could they let this slide?
No one had ever dared to swallow the money of assassins like this, and he hadn't just swindled one or two groups, but many!
Every assassin operating near Xianyang who intended to kill Zhao Cheng had been scammed by him.
Consequently, the various assassins united, vowing to finish off Yao Wuyi before they even touched Zhao Cheng.
Yao Wuyi was well-informed and quickly learned that the assassins were coming for his head. Panicked, he grabbed Feng Bujiu and tried to move the Medicine Shed into Zhao Cheng's sleeping quarters.
He was kicked away by Zhao Cheng, which finally put an end to that
