Chapter 1601: Being Moved for a Lifetime

“The first option is to wait and see what the Lancer Family is planning, but this is not a good idea.” Yang Ming said, “I think that the Lancer Family will be at their most confident level when they announce that Uncle Wang is in their hands. So, although waiting is the safest option, it is not beneficial to us.”

“Yes, we can’t give the Lancer Family too many opportunities to take a breather. This is extremely unfavorable for us,” Butler Mu nodded and said. “So, should I go to the Lancer Family to ask for Uncle Wang?”

“Ask for Uncle Wang?” Yang Ming could not help but smile bitterly after he heard this. “Uncle Mu, let’s not consider whether the Lancer Family will admit to it when we go and demand for Uncle Wang. Because even if they do, do you think we can get Uncle Wang released? Even Uncle Wang is no match for the Lancer Family. Can our people be more powerful than Uncle Wang? I am afraid that all of us will be detained by the Lancer Family.”

Yang Ming’s words hit their sore point and caused everyone in the meeting room to look at each other in dismay. Indeed, Wang Songshan’s skills were not any weaker than the people present. Fang Tian was perhaps the only one considered to be stronger than Wang Songshan. Of course, this situation was after disregarding Yang Ming’s special abilities because the effects of these special abilities were unclear.

“What Yang Ming said makes sense,” Fang Tian agreed. “Old Wang is not a reckless person. Once he knows that he is no match, he will never confront the enemy with brute force and disregard the opponent’s strength. There is no news yet. It’s most likely that this is a plot by the Lancer Family. Since the other party can outmaneuver Old Wang, none of us here will have any chance of success if we confront them. ”

“Otherwise, should I just go there to scout around?” Yang Ming muttered for a moment having already planned to do that in his heart. No matter what, it was indisputable that Wang Songshan was now his father-in-law. His relationship with Wang Xiaoyan must come first. It would be inexcusable for him to sit and do nothing. When Zhou Jiajia’s father had an incident, he immediately went over there to solve it; when Huang Lele’s family encountered trouble, he was also the one to help resolve the matter. These matters were not hidden from Wang Xiaoyan.

Wang Xiaoyan might not say anything on the surface if he did not express any concern this time. But in her heart, how could she not mind? Although the current problem looked very troublesome, Yang Ming had deliberated all options for a long time and understood that there would only be a chance if he attends to it personally. It would be useless for anyone else to go.

Of course, Yang Ming pinned his hopes on his special abilities. He could fully explore the terrain and secret paths in the Lancer Family beforehand. Only by knowing yourself and knowing others, can you win every battle.

Winning every battle was just bragging. It would already be a great success if he was able to successfully rescue Wang Songshan.

“Are you going?” Fang Tian looked at Yang Ming with surprise and admiration when he heard Yang Ming’s words. Actually, Fang Tian thought that he was the strongest among these people. No one else was as good as Wang Songshan. It would be meaningless for any of them to go there. Even if it was him, he had no other means to face the unknown possibilities.

Somehow, for so many days, there was no news as to why the Lancer Family became so arrogant and how they could detain Wang Songshan, and what news could they rely on.

In this situation where the enemy’s background was unknown, Fang Tian did not dare to proceed hastily! Even if he was the King of Assassins, Fang Tian would not have any advantage as the other party was fully on guard and appeared to have invited other experts to help.

As a matter of fact, despite Fang Tian’s proficiency in assassination methods, these methods can only be used when the other party is not on guard. They cannot be used in a direct brute force confrontation with the enemy.

Even assassinating Kevithan would be easier than infiltrating the Lancer family to find and rescue Wang Songshan! After all, assassination did not require one to directly confront the opponent nor break the trap set by them. Assassinating Kevithan was simple unless he hid at home forever. Once Kevithan stepped out, Fang Tian had many ways to put him to death!

In this world, there were many people more skilled than Fang Tian in martial arts. Being the King of Assassins did not mean that he was invincible! It was only that his level of mastery in assassination had reached great heights. He rarely missed any target that he had set his sight on. However, if Fang Tian was to participate in one-on-one combat, there was a high possibility that he would be severely defeated!

This was the reason why Yang Ming was certain that it would be futile even if Fang Tian went. He was not even a match for Tian Long! This was because Tian Long’s lifelong training in Shaolin Martial Arts had reached perfection. If it was a direct assault and not assassination, Fang Tian would probably lose.

The reason why Yang Ming was able to beat Tian Long and break his skills was that he possessed special abilities inside his body. He was able to identify where Tian Long’s Achilles Heel 1 was and immediately strike at it.

Also, Yang Ming volunteered to head over to the Lancer Family to investigate this time around after deliberate consideration. After all, he was the only one with special abilities. If others went, there was a high possibility that they would either be killed or caught. Yang Ming, on the other hand, was not afraid of being caught. If he was caught, he would just need to transform into Kevithan’s appearance and then pick the right moment to escape.

“I think that it is necessary to go to the Lancer Family to find out the real situation,” Yang Ming nodded and said. “As for the candidate, I’m afraid that I am the only one suitable for it.”

“I will be worried if you go.” Fang Tian hesitated for a while and said nevertheless, “Yang Ming, I’m very happy that you step forward bravely at a moment like this. My care and grooming of you were not in vain. But now is not the time for you to play the hero. You must be extremely cautious in everything! ”

“Master, this is the result of my deliberate consideration!” Yang Ming formally and sincerely addressed Fang Tian as master for the first time, to show his determination.

Fang Tian was slightly stunned on hearing Yang Ming’s form of address, then laughed bitterly, “Yang Ming, this is really no joke. Looking at the current situation, I am afraid that there is a great chance that you will not be able to return. Why should you take this risk?”

“I don’t want to, but I won’t let Yanyan have any regrets in life.” Yang Ming took a deep breath and said.

“Yang Ming-” Wang Xiaoyan held Yang Ming’s hand and trembled rapidly. Yang Ming’s words had touched her heart deeply. Such man was worthy for her to entrust her whole life to him! Such simple words were enough to touch her for a lifetime.

Wang Xiaoyan would not blame Yang Ming even if he did not do anything. After all, things were too complicated. It could not be resolved with the current strength of the Butterfly Family. It was hard for Yang Ming to stay by her side and face the problems with her. If Yang Ming was an indifferent man, it would be normal for him to turn and run away when he saw that the Butterfly Family was facing an impending disaster, and his fiancee was being sought after by a stronger opponent. Why would he stay and think of solutions?

No one present was a fool. Obviously, the current Lancer Family had an unknown but very powerful supporter. At this moment, Yang Ming knew that he was no match for the opponent yet he treated Wang Xiaoyan greatly to this extent. Wang Xiaoyan felt that even if she died at this moment, she would have no regrets! Although Wang Xiaoyan kept thinking about her father in her heart, she was not irrational. Since her father was detained by the Lancer Family, Wang Xiaoyan could guess that the other party was only stronger and not weaker than her father!

Yang Ming still personally wanted to take the risk despite this obvious difference in strength. How could Wang Xiaoyan agree? Her father was detained by the opponent. She did not want anything to happen to Yang Ming!

“Yang Ming, let me go this time!” Fang Tian could guess Wang Xiaoyan’s thoughts and smiled, “You little guy. You haven’t even graduated as a disciple. Why would a Master allow their disciple to take risks?”

“Old Man Fang, do you mean I’m not as good as you?” Yang Ming glared and resumed his original composure, “You and my master’s wife are newlyweds. You should be at home enjoying your quality time together. What’s the point of you going out? Do you think this is a honeymoon? ”

“You-you little kid-” Fang Tian was amused by Yang Ming’s radical change in attitude, “I know what you mean. You don’t need to incite me. I won’t let you go because I’m afraid that you will be in danger. You are my heir. If something happened to you, wouldn’t our King of Assassins’ bloodline be without a successor? ”

Chapter 1602: Secret Report

“You won’t accept another disciple? I think your body is still quite strong. My master’s wife is still young. Otherwise, both of you can have children and raise them as a Little King of Assassins? Isn’t this a good idea?”

“Beat it!” Fang Tian’s face reddened. Wang Ruoshui’s expression was not any better. “You little brat, what nonsense are you saying? If I die, only your master’s wife will grieve. If you little rascal dies, what will happen to the many women in your family?”

“Pfft-” Wang Xiaoyan was moved to tears. She was amused by Fang Tian’s words and couldn’t help but laugh. Yes, there are a lot of wives in Yang Ming’s family. If something happened to him because of me, aren’t they going to act against me desperately?

“All right, let’s put it this way. Old Man Fang, when have you ever seen me do something that I am not confident in?” Yang Ming waved his hand to stop squabbling with Fang Tian. He focused on the topic.

“En?” Fang Tian was distracted for a moment after listening to Yang Ming’s words. He then closed his eyes and pondered on the meaning of Yang Ming’s words. Indeed, Yang Ming, this little guy, seems very sinister. He never does anything that he is not confident in. Can it be that he has full confidence in succeeding this time? Recalling what Yang Ming did in the past, it seemed like he had always planned in advance every time, and everything went smoothly!

Actually, how could Yang Ming be certain to win? It was just luck that past matters were successfully resolved. Even Yang Ming could not believe how lucky he was. However, that was the way things were. Only people with good luck could become the legend of that generation. People with bad luck would be long dead.

“Old Man Fang, don’t fight with me. I guarantee that I will come back with Uncle Wang!” Yang Ming patted his chest firmly as he guaranteed. Actually, he did not feel so deep down in his heart.

“This-” Fang Tian started to hesitate when he saw Yang Ming’s confidence.

“I’ll go with Yang Ming!” Wang Xiaoyan gritted her teeth and voiced out her decision.

“No!” Wang Xiaoyan’s words had hardly left her mouth when several voices of objections rang out in unison.

These voices naturally came from Fang Tian, Wang Ruoshui, Butler Mu and Yang Ming!

“You guys…” Wang Xiaoyan was a little surprised as to why everyone would object. Even Yang Ming shook his head, refusing to let her go with him.

“Yanyan, your skills are too weak compared to Yang Ming. If you go, you will not be a helping hand; but instead, you will be dragging him down!” Wang Ruoshui sighed and explained, “At that time, even if Yang Ming does not rescue Brother, it’s possible for him to escape. However, if you follow along, Yang Ming will need to take care of you as well. I’m afraid that both of you will not be able to come back, let alone rescue big brother! ”

Although Wang Ruoshui’s words hurt Wang Xiaoyan’s self-esteem, Wang Xiaoyan was not an unreasonable person. She felt that she was a little impulsive after thinking about it. Even though what she had meant to say was that she would brave through life, living and dying together with Yang Ming, she had been a bit reckless. There was a possibility that she might be a burden to Yang Ming.

“Then-Yang Ming, be careful.” Wang Xiaoyan looked at Yang Ming reluctantly. She didn’t want Yang Ming to go, but now it seemed that Yang Ming had made a decision. This expedition was absolutely necessary. She could only say, “You promise me, if the goal really can’t be achieved, don’t blame yourself. I just want you to come back safely.”

“Relax, my dear Little Yanyan. Is there anything that I have promised to you and not fulfilled?” Yang Ming teased indifferently, “After I have annihilated the Lancer Family and their secret supporters, I will return with Uncle Wang in triumph! ”

Fang Tian sighed. His disciple was becoming increasingly difficult to understand. Or, from the beginning, he had never really understood Yang Ming. However, there was one thing that Fang Tian could be sure of. Although Yang Ming seemed to be very shameless and sinister, he was a very affectionate person. As long as he was convinced of this, it meant that his intuition was correct!

“If something goes wrong, you must protect yourself!” Although Wang Songshan was his old friend, Yang Ming was also his beloved disciple. Fang Tian did not want Yang Ming to have any mishaps.

Yang Ming grinned and exposed his white teeth. Yet, he was very confident…

Even though Yang Ming’s expedition neither startled anyone nor was announced with great fanfare, it did not escape the notice of certain people. Among the members of the Butterfly Family, there were spies from the Lancer or Douglas Families. There was no doubt about this! This was because the Butterfly Family simultaneously had undercover agents in the Douglas family residing in the same city!

It was just that the Lancer Family was too far away from the Butterfly Family. There had been no past conflicts or cooperation between the two parties. Hence, the Butterfly Family did not have any undercover agents in the Lancer family.

But now, the Butterfly Family had suffered some losses! This was obviously because the spies planted by the Douglas family within the Butterfly Family had successfully gathered information, but the spies set by the Butterfly Family in the Douglas family had not worked at all!

Obviously, the Douglas Family’s method could only transmit messages in one direction. They could only transmit news that they overheard in the Butterfly Family to the Lancer Family, but not the other way around!

This was why the Butterfly Family had not received any news about Wang Songshan recently. This was because even the Douglas Family was not clear about what was happening.

Although the news of Yang Ming’s expedition to the Lancer Family had been deliberately concealed, Yang Ming had not shown up for a few meals. Yet, this was noticed by people with ulterior motives. Therefore, the news of Yang Ming’s possible expedition to the Lancer Family was relayed to them through the Douglas Family’s secret agents.

At this moment, Kevithan had just come out of the place where Wang Songshan was being detained. He had just held a conversation with Wang Songshan, but apparently, he did not achieve his ideal purpose. Even though he scolded Wang Songshan as stubborn, it still did not work!

Killing or beating Wang Songshan would never work when dealing with this old man. Detaining him might cause him to finally yield. However, this old man had unexpectedly seemed to detect the awkward situation of the Lancer Family and did not yield. This made the Lancer Family run out of ideas.

“My Lord, there is a secret report from the Douglas Family!” As soon as Kevithan walked into the conference room, a junior in charge of the family’s intelligence came in and reported the news.

” Oh? What secret report?” Kevithan asked.

“This-” The disciple glanced at the people in the conference room, hesitating.

“Just say it. These are not outsiders, especially Cousin Jetson. He is now the core of our family!” Kevithan explained as he knew that the junior was still a bit evasive of Jetson. Besides, the others in the meeting room were Slade, Thomas, and Lecroft!

Slade and Lecroft were the original elders of the family. In the past, both of them would know everything that happened within the family. Thomas was the previous lord of the family. After he abdicated the position, he would also naturally take on the position of elder. There was no need for any precaution.

“Yes!” After listening to Kevithan’s words, the junior immediately panicked and said, “There is a secret report from the Douglas Family. An important person went missing from the Butterfly Family today. According to our analysis, he should be coming towards our Lancer Family. He is probably coming here for Wang Songshan!”

“Oh? Who?” Kevithan, however, snorted indifferently and said, “Can it be that Old Man named Fang Tian? He is said to be the King of Assassins. Hmph Hmph, what King of Assassins? In front of Cousin Jetson, he is nothing at all! Let’s go and meet him! ”

During this period of time, Kevithan knew a lot of things about the Butterfly Family through the Douglas Family’s spies that were hidden in the Butterfly Family. He also knew about Fang Tian, the King of Assassins.

In the past, when he heard the term “the King of Assassins”, Kevithan would probably be so fearful that he would not dare to have anything to do with such a person. No ordinary people would be willing to go against an assassin.

But now, Kevithan was brimming with confidence since Cousin Jetson was supporting him from behind. What King of Assassins? The assassin families are all insubstantial. When they come, we will capture them. There is nothing to be afraid of.
