Chapter 1621: Take a Break

Falcon’s skills were not very good. However, he had once learned a set of incredibly agile body techniques under the guidance of an expert in his early years. So, although Falcon was not good at fighting, he was still excellent in the art of hiding and escaping.

This was why Falcon could sneak into the Immortal Building and kill the people of the Sui Family silently. However, the result might not be so good if he were to break in forcefully.

Falcon always felt incompetent in the face of Yang Ming. Although he had cultivated several death warriors, he still couldn’t match Yang Ming. Yang Ming had even killed the female death warrior whom he was most proud of with ease. This had caused him heartache as well as a deep fear toward Yang Ming.

Therefore, Falcon had chosen to cooperate with Elder You. However, he didn’t expect that Elder You’s strange and mysterious voodoo was still no match for Yang Ming. He even needed to escape after Yang Ming ruined his plans. This had made the Falcon even more fearful to have any face-to-face encounters with Yang Ming.

However, despite his series of insidious tricks, not only did he fail to touch Yang Ming, he even became a wanted criminal! If it weren’t because of Dr. Benjamin’s magical mask that covered true face, he might have needed to return to the Central.

After Falcon’s plans failed consecutively, Dr. Benjamin had finally decided to send him a strong aid. He was apparently a super expert who could crush rocks with a single fist! Of course, Benjamin didn’t tell Falcon about the fact that Jetson was a robot.

Just as the Falcon was awaiting this expert’s arrival with excitement, he received the sudden news from Dr. Benjamin that Jetson wasn’t able to come. He immediately fell from cloud nine. Why is he not able to come so suddenly?

“Jetson had gone to resolve the conflict between his cousin and the Butterfly Family. However, the Lancer Family where his cousin is situated has been annihilated by the Butterfly Family. Jetson’s whereabouts are still unknown,” Benjamin’s message came back quickly.

When Falcon heard the words “Butterfly Family”, a faint light flashed across his eyes and then disappeared. He murmured, “The Butterfly Family actually has such a strong force? They can even kill off Dr. Benjamin’s most respected expert. This is really unusual! It seems that my initial decision is still right!”

“What’s wrong, boss? You don’t look very good,” Huang Youcai didn’t see the message on Falcon’s computer, so he didn’t know what had happened. He only asked worriedly because Falcon was talking to himself and didn’t look so good.

“The expert I told you about before might not come anymore,” Falcon’s heart started to bleed as he thought of this. Why am I so unlucky? This Jetson could have done do so many other things, yet he went and offended the Butterfly Family. Well then, he is now dead already.”

“He won’t come? What do you mean? Could it be that the person supporting you no longer wants to help you, boss?” Huang Youcai was surprised. He was also looking forward to the expert’s arrival. That way, he wouldn’t need to fear Yang Ming’s skills!

Yang Ming’s skills were great. Not only was Falcon afraid of him, but Huang Youcai was also extremely fearful too. He didn’t dare to face him directly. If that expert Jetson had come, he could capture Yang Ming directly and Huang Youcai would not have to be afraid of anything. However, Huang Youcai didn’t expect that this expert was no longer coming.

Falcon shook his head, “He was involved in a conflict. I’m afraid he has been killed.”

“Killed? Didn’t you say that this expert can break rocks with one hand? His martial arts are invincible. How can someone so powerful be killed?” Huang Youcai asked curiously.

“Regardless of how powerful he is, I’m afraid that he is still a single person. His opponent was an assassin group. It’s not surprising for him to die.” It was obvious that Falcon didn’t want to say much. He didn’t disclose the news about the Butterfly Family.

“Assassin Group?” Huang Youcai’s heart trembled in fear. He had long known that his boss was no ordinary person. However, he didn’t think that his boss had already reached such a level where he was exposed to terrifying and secretive existences like assassin groups!

It was hard for ordinary people to come across assassin groups in their lifetime. Even if Huang Youcai had smuggled and committed crimes for Wang Xifan before this, they were simply small fights of a gangster organization. It was still impossible for him to encounter assassin groups.

“Indeed. Plus, it’s an assassin group that is highly ranked in the world,” Falcon didn’t go into details. He only described vaguely.

“Boss, since you can reach the people of assassin groups, I have something that might be inappropriate to say…” Huang Youcai asked hesitantly.

“Is there anything that can’t be said between us? You can speak your mind,” Falcon looked at Huang Youcai strangely before speaking.

“It’s like this, boss. Forgive me for being frank, but since you can reach people from an assassin group, why don’t we take out some money and hire an assassin to kill Yang Ming? That way, we can finish everything by killing Yang Ming and we will get our revenge. Why must it be as troublesome as it is now?” Huang Youcai suggested.

“Hire an assassin to kill Yang Ming?” Falcon couldn’t help but sneer after hearing Huang Youcai’s suggestion. “There is one thing that I have never told you about. Do you know what Yang Ming’s secret true identity is?”

“True identity?” Huang Youcai was stunned and then said, “I of course know a thing or two. His identity in the light is a university student, but his secret identity is the person in charge of the Ming Yang Group. The two famous figures of the company, Bao Sanli and Hou Zhennan, should both be Yang Ming’s men!”

“These are not all of Yang Ming’s identities, but only the appearances that are exposed,” Falcon shook his head. “Yang Ming’s true identity is actually an assassin!”

“What? Yang Ming is an assassin?!” Huang Youcai looked at Falcon in disbelief. He didn’t know if his words were true or false.

“His master is a very well-known figure in the industry. Yang Ming is a little lacking compared to his master, but he is definitely not what ordinary assassins can handle,” Falcon said calmly. “So, this is also why I didn’t look for an assassin group to kill him.”

“But, since even the assassin group can’t handle Yang Ming, wouldn’t that Mr. Jetson also not be able to do anything even if he was here? However, boss initially had such great hopes for him!” Huang Youcai was confused. “Moreover, Mr. Jetson has also died at the hands of an assassin group… Then Yang Ming…”

” Hmph , I’m thinking that Jetson was killed because the assassin group dispatched all of the experts in their family together. As for us, how are we supposed to convince them to dispatch all of their experts to deal with Yang Ming?” Falcon said disapprovingly, “Not only that, I still haven’t mentioned the most important point. But since you’ve asked, there’s no harm in telling you. Yang Ming and the assassin group that killed Jetson share a deep bond. To expect them to assassinate Yang Ming? It’ll be considered pretty good if they don’t go and tell him!”

“Could Yang Ming be part of that assassin group?” Huang Youcai was shocked as cold sweat drenched his back. He knew for the first time that Yang Ming had such a terrifying identity and backer, and it was also the first time that he was a little afraid. He didn’t know if it was the right thing to continue opposing Yang Ming.

“He’s not. In fact, Yang Ming is that assassin group’s son-in-law.” Falcon glanced at Huang Youcai and saw his apparent nervousness. Falcon laughed coldly, “Why? Are you scared?”

“No— No!” Huang Youcai knew that he had no way to retreat since he had chosen to go against Yang Ming. Besides, Falcon had told him a lot of things today. If he wanted to retreat, the Falcon would kill him to shut him up. So, Huang Youcai had to walk this path till its end. There was no room to maneuver.

“That’s good then!” Falcon took back his murderous aura, and said calmly, “Since I can be Yang Ming’s enemy, I naturally have something to rely on. The force supporting me is also a hundred times stronger than that assassin group. This time, I’m afraid that even without us having to say anything, the people supporting me will also not let that assassin group get away. So, Yang Ming will lose this backer instantly.”

Although Dr. Benjamin didn’t say how he was going to deal with the Butterfly Family, Falcon knew that with Dr. Benjamin’s character, this matter wouldn’t end just like this. They dared to kill an expert from Central. How could Central suffer a huge loss just like that? At that time, the Butterfly Family would disappear from Earth.

Huang Youcai was relieved when he heard Falcon’s explanation. It all made sense upon consideration. Falcon was not a fool. Falcon knew that Yang Ming’s strength was not weak yet he still dared to be his enemy. He definitely had something to depend on. Otherwise, he would not do something that was way beyond his control unless he suffered from brain damage.

“I hate Yang Ming to the core. Although he is an assassin, I will not be afraid of him since he is my opponent!” Huang Youcai said firmly after thinking. “Relax, boss. I will not stop until one of us dies. However, what should we do after this? Jetson’s incident has disrupted the plan completely. What should we do?”

“Let’s wait for now and see what my superior has to say,” Falcon said. “Since Jetson can’t come, we will not be able to face Yang Ming with just the strength of the two of us. Plus, the situation is tense out there. The cops seem to have not given up on pursuing us. So, we should just take a break for now and talk about this after a while.”

“That’s good too.” Huang Youcai nodded in agreement. He was no longer willing to face Yang Ming directly ever since he learned of Yang Ming’s true identity because it would be a meaningless thing to do. He didn’t think that he was Yang Ming’s match.

So, it was best for them to lay low and rest before reinforcements arrive.

Chapter 1622: Engagement

It had been half a month since the Lancer Family was destroyed and Jetson was killed. Yang Ming and Wang Xiaoyan held a grand engagement ceremony in the Butterfly Family’s Butterfly Castle. Almost all the families within the high society in Europe had sent an important figure from their families to give their congratulations. Most of them were family masters or elders who came in person, but at the very least, the families sent their first heirs to celebrate.

Even the presidents of some small countries had rushed over in person, as well as some hidden families like a royal family who had fled. It was conceivable how terrifying the Butterfly Family’s reputation had become!

No one was a fool. Everyone was clear about how terrifying it was to be able to destroy the entire Lancer Family in an instant! Besides, there were no government authorities pursuing the Butterfly Family after the Lancer Family’s destruction. This was something that need not be questioned. The Buffon Family Master, Old Buffon, had stood up for them at that time and he even attended the engagement ceremony in person. The other families knew that they weren’t as powerful as the Buffon Family. So if Old Buffon had already gone there in person, what were they waiting for?

Therefore, regardless of whether they were familiar with the Butterfly Family or whether they had received an invitation, all families came to visit. This caught the Butterfly Family, who was somewhat inadequately prepared, off guard!

There were only so many VIP guest rooms prepared, but the number of people who had come was double that. Where should the remaining people stay? Fortunately, these people were only here to express their kindly feelings. They did not come to enjoy anything. So, Wang Songshan hurriedly asked the servants and disciples to vacate a part of their rooms. Only then were there barely enough rooms to stay in. However, no one had any complaints.

They had initially come to express friendliness. It would all be worthless if the Butterfly Family were to think that they had come to cause trouble. So, even though the guests had been assigned to a poorly facilitated room, they still had a genuine joyous expression on their faces.

As for the servants and the disciples who gave up their rooms, they had to cram with other people. This was still tolerable.

According to Yang Ming’s prior instructions, Old Buffon did not appear at the engagement ceremony as Yang Ming’s disciple. Instead, he appeared as an ally of the Butterfly Family. However, even this identity had moved the people who were present!

The Buffon Family was prestigious, yet they had allied with an assassin family. This made people wonder if there were any hidden events underlying this all.

Alas, even if people were thinking about this on the inside, they wouldn’t be foolish enough to ask. Regardless, it was a fact that the Buffon Family and the Butterfly Family were affiliated. So, regardless of how this had happened, it was fine just to not offend them.

Yang Ming did not tell the Charles Family to come. Only a few people knew about the relationship between Yang Ming and the Charles Family. Excluding Fang Tian, Wang Songshan, Wang Ruoshui, Butler Mu, Wang Xiaoyan and the members of the Charles Family, nobody else knew about it. So, Yang Ming had no intention of disclosing it now. He only treated the Charles Family as a backup secret weapon. They might be unexpectedly useful someday.

Wang Songshan did not introduce Yang Ming’s identity. Only people in the industry knew that this young-looking teenager was the heir to the King of Assassins. Guests of other ordinary families were not clear about Yang Ming’s identity.

However, everyone vaguely felt that Yang Ming’s identity was not simple. The fact that the Butterfly Family could be affiliated with the Buffon Family must have some relation to this new son-in-law.

If not, why hadn’t anyone heard of the connection between the Butterfly Family and the Buffon Family for so many years before? Why had their firearms supply been constrained to the Lancer Family all this time? These all revealed some clues.

These few days were some of the happiest in Wang Xiaoyan’s life. Although she knew in her heart that Yang Ming had Chen Mengyan and a few other women, she was the only one who had gotten officially engaged to Yang Ming.

Although she was a latecomer, Wang Xiaoyan was incredibly happy as she had gotten this position despite being late. At least, she was the first woman to ever hold such a grand ceremony with Yang Ming.

Or, these things were nothing but virtual images. It was merely an engagement ceremony that would not change much of her relationship with Yang Ming. It was merely a title for the public. However, most women valued these things, and Wang Xiaoyan was no exception. Wang Xiaoyan took the engagement ceremony that announced her dominance extremely seriously. Although she was exhausted from the few days of entertainment, she was also extremely happy.

“Yang Ming, you didn’t expect this, did you? I’m actually the first person you got engaged to…” Wang Xiaoyan was actually still energetic after the few days of exhaustion. Yang Ming admired her greatly for this.

“It is tough to go against my master’s orders, so what can I do?” Yang Ming rolled his eyes. He was still somewhat unhappy about Fang Tian and Wang Songshan’s previous actions.

“Hehe…” Wang Xiaoyan laughed after hearing his words. “So, you don’t want to get engaged to me?”

“I didn’t say that. It just feels a little dramatic,” Yang Ming laughed bitterly. “Initially, I never took this engagement seriously at all. I didn’t think that the person I was getting engaged to was actually you! This way, I have no choice but to get engaged to you.”

“Haha, is it that you’ve made certain promises to Chen Mengyan before?” Wang Xiaoyan was clever. She could naturally hear the helplessness and bitterness in Yang Ming’s words. However, she didn’t think that this was something strange. She had only been with Yang Ming for two months before they got engaged. How could this be tolerable for the harem’s main character, Chen Mengyan?

“Enough, don’t play innocent now that you’ve gotten an advantage. We’ll just leave this here, but don’t you go talking about this with Chen Mengyan ah!” Yang Ming said helplessly.

“Do you think I’m crazy enough to go boast in front of her? It’s enough for me just to know. You will surely help her if I were to fall out with her. I don’t want to seek trouble for myself!” Wang Xiaoyan pouted as she said with certainty.

“I won’t be biased…” Yang Ming said somewhat indifferently. “Just, don’t fight with her…”

“See. You still favor her, right?” Wang Xiaoyan was upset. “Aren’t you just afraid that I might kill her? Do you think I’m a fool? If I kill her, wouldn’t you kill me.”

Yang Ming laughed and didn’t answer. However, he indeed didn’t know how to answer. If Wang Xiaoyan were to really kill Chen Mengyan, what would Yang Ming do? Would he really kill Wang Xiaoyan?

Yang Ming shook his head. It seemed that he really couldn’t do it, but he also didn’t know how he would face Wang Xiaoyan.
