The 1.5 Billion at Hand Flew Away

Crack!

Morin's skull shattered instantly. He let out a scream, but the lightning robbed him of both the ability to move and his life!

From beginning to end, he had not possessed even the slightest ability to resist!

Evolution Points +10!

He could only blame his bad luck for running into Xia Zhiqing, whose entire body was wreathed in ten million volts of electricity!

Without knowing how to use Armament Haki, even if he had been twice as strong, he would still have been instantly killed upon encountering Xia Zhiqing!

The moment Xia Zhiqing saw Morin, he roughly understood why the old king of the Taro Kingdom had been willing to spend four hundred million Beli to hire him to kill the king of the Dongping Kingdom!

Morin had a bounty of ninety-eight million Beli on his head. It seemed Xia Zhiqing really was the only one capable of carrying out this mission!

After all, once other bounty hunters reached that level of strength, they all became pirates!

Pirates could make money so much faster through plundering. Why bother remaining a bounty hunter?

Wasn't all that Beli tempting enough?

"Then, you're next!"

Xia Zhiqing's bright gaze turned toward the king!

The king's body trembled the instant Xia Zhiqing looked at him.

Yet he still put on a fierce front. "I've already joined the World Government. You'd better think this through! If you dare kill me, the World Government will never let you off!"

"Get the hell out of here right now, and I can still choose not to hold it against you. Otherwise..."

"Otherwise what?" Before the king could finish, Xia Zhiqing had already appeared behind him!

Did he have any other choice now?

If he spared the king of the Dongping Kingdom, there was no guarantee that the king would be willing to spare the two of them!

Besides, if he did not kill the king, how would he collect the old king's reward?

Then all his efforts would truly have been for nothing! And he would have gained a powerful enemy for no reason!

He held his fingers together like a blade and was about to pierce the king's heart when the man cried out in panic, "Don't... don't kill me! Whatever you want, I'll give it to you!"

"Even 1.5 billion?"

"Yes, yes, I..."

Under the threat of death, the king agreed without even thinking. But before he could finish speaking, his head suddenly exploded!

"Anna, what are you...?"

Xia Zhiqing looked at Anna, who had shot the king dead, and asked with a baffled expression!

"Lord Natsi, a person cannot break their word twice!"

Anna put away her gun and said.

"But that was 1.5 billion..." Xia Zhiqing looked utterly heartbroken!

"Reputation is more important!"

Anna spoke with complete conviction. Then she added, "Scum like him, who abducted other people's wives and daughters and toyed with them to death, doesn't deserve to live! Punish me if you wish. I'll accept it all!"

Well, with her putting it that way, what could Xia Zhiqing say?

"You bastards! You actually dared to kill His Majesty the King! Guards, get in there! Kill them and avenge His Majesty!"

Inside the palace, a minister standing nearby shouted at the guards!

A large contingent of guards immediately rushed in. Xia Zhiqing sighed helplessly at the sight and said, "Chidori Stream!"

After knocking down a whole swath of people and clearing a path, he dispersed the lightning, grabbed Anna, and rushed out the door!

"Chase them!"

Faintly, Xia Zhiqing heard such a roar behind him!

Taro Kingdom!

"As expected of the Summer Bounty Crew, famed for its zero failure rate. You truly are reliable!!"

When the old king saw the corpse of the Dongping Kingdom's king, tears streamed down his face. "Aiqiya, did you see that? That bastard is finally dead! Finally dead!"

It was hard to imagine just what kind of grievances an old man had suffered to lose control like this!

But Xia Zhiqing did not care about any of that!

The only thing he cared about was the reward!
