Old Charles still accepted the current reality very quickly. There was no other way. Even speaking from this sense, Yang Ming’s identity was superior, because he was actually the world’s number one King of Assassins!

Therefore, Old Charles’s mentality had become calm in an instant. Yes, he had no way to continue to act dumb in front of Yang Ming because he had the capital to be equal to him.

It seemed that Yang Ming could break into his room silently, and now he still had not received any reports from his men yet. This was not an accident! It was just that Old Charles was secretly surprised. Isn’t Yang Ming a bit too powerful?

What a stealthy infiltration without getting discovered so far! Fang Tian did not seem capable of accomplishing such a feat, right? Could it be that the student surpassed the teacher? Or did Fang Tian improve again? Or maybe he did not really show his full strength in front of me.

“I don’t dare to be the new King of Assassins. It’s just an internship.” Yang Ming smiled and said faintly.

“In any case, since the King of Assassins said so, I need to give you this face. I will give you Zhou Tianxiang.” Old Charles shrugged. “Actually, he knows too many things, but I also can’t bear to kill someone who has been with me for so many years. I planned to give him some medicine to make him lose all his memories.”

“Amnesia?” Yang Ming frowned. “Isn’t that the same as a baby?”

“But now, it is definitely unnecessary, because your identity is also there. Since he is your father-in-law, then I am relieved that he will not do anything disadvantageous to me.” Old Charles smiled and said.

“Then, thank you, Uncle Charles.” Settling this in such a peaceful way was also what Yang Ming hoped for. After all, he still wanted to cooperate with the Charles Family, and he did not wish to have a direct conflict.

” Hehe , you can call me Uncle Charles. That means you give me a lot of face. I did not expect that I, Old Charles, will one day become the elder of the King of Assassins.” Old Charles smiled happily. It could be seen that his smile was very sincere.

“Then, Uncle Zhou’s matter is settled. As for Charles, I will tell him. If he has any opinions, let him look for me directly.” Yang Ming smiled and said.

“Naturally!” Old Charles hesitated and said, “However, I hope that you cannot involve Charles in it. It is his freedom to like Zhou Jiajia; it is another matter that Miss Zhou did not agree…”

“Don’t worry, Uncle Charles. No matter what, my relationship with Charles is not bad. I am not as violent as you think. The previous intimidation is really for lack of a better option. If I didn’t say that, you would not have calmed down to talk to me.” Yang Ming smiled and said apologetically.

” Hehe , since you said so, then I am relieved. Mr. Yang Ming, after you see Charles, help me to persuade him. Even if he doesn’t like the family business, accompany this old man when he has time. After all, now, I am getting older, and I want to spend more time with him!” said Charles.

“Okay, don’t worry, Uncle Charles. I will talk to him.” Yang Ming nodded and replied to Old Charles.

” En , then you can take Zhou Tianxiang away. Should I make a call and ask him to leave with you?” asked Old Charles.

“This is not a rush. There is another reason why I came this time.” Yang Ming hesitated and opened his mouth. After all, Yang Ming was also looking for an opportunity to meet Old Charles. This time, there was such a good opportunity; it would be great to finish things altogether.

” Oh ? What else is there?” Old Charles asked with some doubts. In his opinion, Yang Ming came to him just because of Zhou Tianxiang. Now that things were solved, for what reason did Yang Ming still need to look for him?

“It’s like this. Uncle Charles, I was thinking if we can cooperate.” Yang Ming said with a smile.

“Cooperate?” After listening to Yang Ming’s words, Old Charles was tempted.Didn’t I always want to find a partner before? And now Yang Ming is in front of me. Isn’t he the best person to cooperate with?

What Charles couldn’t let go was the assassin career that he had worked hard to build. He didn’t want the foundation to fall because of his old age, and because Little Charles didn’t like it.

Now, with Yang Ming, the heir to the King of Assassins, and the heir of the Butterfly Family to cooperate together, at the very least, his assassin business wouldn’t die off. Those assassins could still have jobs.

Thinking of this, Old Charles couldn’t help but be excited. Yes, he didn’t think that Yang Ming could make such a great suggestion. With such a strong partner, Old Charles could peacefully live out the rest of his old days.

“Yes, cooperation!” Yang Ming nodded affirmatively.

“How do you want to cooperate?” Old Charles asked with some excitement.

“I want to borrow some people from Uncle Charles as instructors to train my people,” Yang Ming spoke his thoughts.

“Train?” Old Charles was surprised, “Isn’t it more effective to personally train them yourself? Why do you need my people to train?”

It was no wonder that Old Charles would be confused. Yang Ming was a disciple of the King of Assassins. Wasn’t it more effective to have him train others?

Yang Ming suddenly smiled bitterly after listening. “Uncle Charles, I have reasons why I can’t train them myself. First, my master also said that my physical characteristics are rather eccentric. It seems that it is very easy for me to imitate things; that is, I imitate whatever I learn, so I can learn a lot of Old Man Fang’s skills in half a year. But if these things are placed on ordinary people, obviously, it is not applicable. If I let them practice it, it would be counterproductive, and it could easily go overboard. Moreover, some of the Kung Fu was passed down from generation to generation, and could only be passed on to disciples, not to outsiders. Therefore, I can’t pass some special things to the people in the organization… Furthermore, I really don’t have so much time. Yanyan and I are both college students; we still have to go to school.”

Whatever Yang Ming said was considered open and honest, so after Old Charles heard it, he nodded. “Indeed, when you say it like this, I understand. You are talking about the training method of the masses!”

“Yes, so I wanted to find Uncle Charles to cooperate.” Yang Ming nodded.

However, Old Charles was even more astonished. Never mind that Wang Xiaoyan is the heir to the Butterfly Family. It is easy to find some training instructors from the Butterfly Family. Yang Ming, as the heir to the King of Assassins, should have a deep connection with the Butterfly Family. Why didn’t he go to the Butterfly Family to ask for people?

Is there any ulterior motive between him and Wang Xiaoyan? Right, Wang Xiaoyan left home, so it is normal not to rely on her own family. Perhaps it is because of this?

However, it was precisely because of this that Old Charles felt keen that this was an excellent opportunity for him, an excellent opportunity to establish a deep cooperative relationship with Yang Ming.

“Since it is cooperation, then the two sides should be mutually beneficial, right?” asked the sly Old Charles.

“Yes.” Yang Ming nodded.

“So, for the cooperation, what benefits can I get from it?” Old Charles set the trap step by step.

“I can pay for the training.” Yang Ming said, “Relatively, although your people are instructors, they can also learn some training methods that they don’t know. This is also my original training method.”

“So, it’s like this?” Old Charles listened to Yang Ming’s words and suddenly became a bit tempted. He didn’t care about the training costs. In this industry, he didn’t lack money. But he was very interested in Yang Ming’s original training method. However, Old Charles knew that he couldn’t compromise so easily, he wanted to cooperate more in-depth.

“How is it? Uncle Charles is not satisfied?” Yang Ming did not expect that Old Charles was still hesitating with such a good condition.

“No, this kind of cooperation is not enough!” Old Charles shook his head. “I think we can further deepen our cooperation.”

“What do you mean?” Yang Ming asked.

“It’s very simple. I think we should cooperate again. This kind of cooperation is not very interesting. My interest is not piqued,” said Old Charles.

“Then what kind of cooperation would make you interested, Uncle Charles?” Yang Ming was a bit puzzled. Apparently, it is not that Old Charles does not want to cooperate, but he has some doubts about his cooperation plan, and he also wants a more in-depth cooperation!

“I believe that you are clear about my current situation.” Old Charles sighed, “My son, Charles, doesn’t like the family’s assassin career; he wants to race some cars. Ai , no matter how I persuade him, he doesn’t listen. In the end, he successfully convinced me otherwise…”

Speaking of this, Old Charles somewhat smiled self-deprecatingly.

“Everyone’s ideals and pursuits are different. I really admire Charles. He can cause a conflict with you for his own ideals and pursuits!” Yang Ming shook his head and said, “And Charles has made some achievements. He is now very famous in the racing world!”

“This is true. If he didn’t make any achievements, I can’t continue to let him continue to race!” Old Charles nodded and said, “But, I’m getting older and older, it is impossible for me to bear another son, but what about my family business? Who will inherit it?”

“This…” It was inappropriate for Yang Ming to say anything. This was after all the family affairs of the Charles Family. What could Yang Ming say? Yang Ming originally wanted to say that this was not easy, and you just have to find a relative to give it to. But these words were a bit crass, so Yang Ming kept silent.

“I may have said this in a hurry, but this is indeed my top priority!” Old Charles saw Yang Ming not talking, so he sighed and said, “The situation is that if the Charles Family’s Assassin Group has no leader, then there will be no future development. If this continues, it will inevitably die out…”

“What do you mean?” Yang Ming faintly guessed Old Charles’s intentions and couldn’t help but raise his eyebrows.

“I don’t know if Mr. Yang is interested in managing the assassin group?” said Old Charles.

“Manage the assassin group. What you mean is that you are letting me manage the Charles Family’s Assassin Group for you?” Yang Ming asked.

“Yes!” Old Charles nodded. “My thoughts are like this; what do you think?”

“Uncle Charles, are you kidding me?” Yang Ming said after a stunned moment. He had only guessed it before, and now it was confirmed. It was very inexplicable.

“Do I look like I am kidding?” Old Charles shrugged and smiled. “Actually, I was thinking about this before you came, but I didn’t expect you to be the first to talk about our cooperation. I am naturally happy to take advantage of the situation.”

Yang Ming now understood that Old Charles was not just joking, but very officially told him about this proposal. Yang Ming’s brows wrinkled as he said, “Uncle Charles, how do you want us to cooperate? It’s not because I asked you to help me train a few people that you’re letting me work for you, right? Managing an assassin group is more difficult than training a few people.”

“That is true; I naturally understand this!” Old Charles smiled. “The cooperation is mutually beneficial. If I ask for it, you can also not agree to it!”

” Hehe .” Yang Ming smiled. Indeed, if Old Charles really asked for it, he would definitely not agree.

“I can use my assassin group to buy shares. You can give me part of the equity. I don’t want anything else. I only need an annual guaranteed income and a number of shares that are not lower than the average of these years,” said Old Charles.

“Just like this? You don’t want to participate in anything in the future?” Yang Ming was a little surprised when he heard Old Charles. What is the difference between this and giving his assassin group to me? He just goes behind-the-scenes to take dividends.

“I am tired. I have been working hard for a lifetime, and I should let it go,” said Old Charles.

“Uncle Charles, since you have already decided, then I think I have no problem here. But the details should be well finalized. I have to communicate with Yanyan in this regard.” Yang Ming nodded. It was considered a preliminary agreement to Old Charles’ proposal.

” En , okay. Of course, you have to communicate about it. This I understand!” Old Charles nodded and said, “So it’s like this. After you communicate, contact me. Let me be relieved; is that okay?”

“Of course, there is no problem!” Yang Ming nodded. “I have already said that I have no problem here. I only have to discuss the details with Yanyan.”

“That’s good!” Old Charles smiled and said, “Yes, when will you bring your partner and be my guest?”

“As soon as possible. There are still some things in my hands that I haven’t finished yet.” Yang Ming said, “Right, there is something that I need you to help!”

“What is it? Just say it,” Old Charles said.

“It is like this. You see, can you keep my identity confidential? I didn’t tell Yanyan about this.” Yang Ming said, “And, Old Man Fang does not simply allow me to talk about it…”

” Oh ? Your partner doesn’t know?” Old Charles was surprised. Then how did they get together? He couldn’t help but wonder, “Do you know what Wang Xiaoyan’s family does?”

“I didn’t even inquire about this. She didn’t want to say it, so I didn’t want to ask too much about it.” Yang Ming shook his head and said.

“Okay, okay. I will keep it for you!” Old Charles almost laughed out loud! This was really what he considered the best joke he had ever heard!

Wang Xiaoyan left home for the sake of fleeing an arranged marriage, but she met the apprentice of the King of Assassins. Then they got together and still didn’t know each other’s identities. It was amazing!

However, since Yang Ming and Wang Xiaoyan didn’t know, Old Charles didn’t want to expose it. He would just let them be until the day the truth was revealed. Ha, thinking of it, it was interesting!

” En , then thank you, Uncle Charles. Right, Uncle Charles, what expression is that?” Yang Ming looked at Old Charles’ smile with a question. Why is this smile so weird?

“Nothing, nothing. That is, I finally solved a big knot in my heart today. I am very happy in my heart!” said Old Charles.

Yang Ming shook his head and didn’t ask anymore. “Well, then can I take Uncle Zhou away?”

“Yes. I will summon him!” Old Charles nodded and said. He was completely willing this time because Yang Ming agreed with his cooperation plan and made him feel very refreshed. As for the matter of Zhou Tianxiang, it was just trivial.

“Right, Uncle Charles. In terms of Uncle Zhou, please keep it a secret for me. Don’t tell him my true identity,” Yang Ming asked.

“Of course, It’s your business about how you want to tell it.” Old Charles smiled, picked up the phone, and dialed the inside line for Zhou Tianxiang’s room.

At the moment, Zhou Tianxiang was in painful confusion. Although Mother Zhou had passed the news to let him drag it on, he did not think that his daughter’s boyfriend could help him. After all, one was in China, while the other was in Europe. It was a million miles apart. How could he manage the affairs here?

Even if he had power in Europe, he might not be able to interfere with the matters of the Charles Family. Therefore, Zhou Tianxiang’s mood was still very complicated at the moment. The internal telephone on the table suddenly sounded, and Zhou Tianxiang was shocked.

“Hello?” Zhou Tianxiang picked up the phone.

“Tianxiang, this is Old Charles. Are you free now? Come to my study for a while,” Old Charles said very politely.

” Oh ? Okay, I will go over.” Although Zhou Tianxiang was somewhat baffled about why the tone of Old Charles became so polite, he didn’t think much about it. After all, his mind was now completely filled with Zhou Jiajia and his own destiny. How could he have the mind space to think about the change in Old Charles’ tone?

“That’s good. I am waiting for you in the study.” Old Charles nodded and said. When he finished, he hung up the phone and said to Yang Ming, “He will come right away. We are partners now. How can I do things that are not good for him? Hehe !”
