X-Dragon Era-Chapter 291 - s 223-225 Five Mice Take Action
After the agreement was reached, under Xin Yun’s signal, a group of six people headed to the home of the five brothers for a detailed discussion. The journey was silent and an hour later, Xin Yun finally arrived at the doorstep of the five brothers’ home.
Upon a closer look, the home of the five brothers was very ordinary, even somewhat dilapidated. Although these five brothers had made a name for themselves in Wave Valley City, the offerings they received were actually not much. In addition, all five brothers paid a lot of attention to their clothing and food, so they didn’t have much extra money.

They were like glitter-covered dung — all show and no substance.
Despite their invariably dapper appearance and frequenting taverns, their home was extremely simple, with only two rooms in total. There was hardly any decor in the house, and the furnishings were very basic, but there were some decent clothes hanging in the wardrobe.
Looking at the simple and slightly dilapidated house, Xin Yun shook his head. Seeing this, the five brothers couldn’t help but blush with shame. Although they received a decent amount of offerings each month, there were five of them to feed and clothe, and they had other brothers to take care of, so there really wasn’t much money to spare.
Xin Yun casually found a chair to sit down, and the five brothers also each found a spot, leaning or sitting, surrounding Xin Yun, waiting for him to speak.
By this time, Xin Yun was already thirteen or fourteen years old. Due to years of training and travel, he looked more like a sixteen or seventeen-year-old youth from the outside. If you added his mature poise and temperament, he actually seemed like a rather young-looking adult. Therefore, the five brothers didn’t dare underestimate Xin Yun.
After a brief silence, Xin Yun spoke up, "It is said that if you know your enemy and yourself, you will win every battle. How much do you know about your opponents this time?"
"This..." Faltering a little, with a gesture from Rat Big Brother, the youngest started speaking, "I’ve specifically gone to scout. The ones disputing with us this time are from the Wild Wolf Gang that’s come from the west!"
"The Wild Wolf Gang?" Hearing their words, Xin Yun couldn’t help but frown. How could such a coincidence occur! The Five Rat Sect was going up against the Wild Wolf Gang! This really is interesting...
In this world, there were innumerable gangs. The Wild Wolf Gang wasn’t actually famous, and the only reason Xin Yun remembered them was from his memories of his past life.
The Wild Wolf Gang was the origin of two extraordinary individuals, or rather, two powerful figures of the future who were currently hanging out in the Wild Wolf Gang.
The Dual Assassins, right? Exactly... Although these two individuals weren’t married yet, they had pledged their love to each other and were already sharing a bed. It was just that they hadn’t had an official ceremony yet.
While the two of them didn’t spend a long time in the Wild Wolf Gang, it was, after all, the first gang they joined after starting their careers, so Xin Yun remembered them very clearly. It’s just that... these two were still hanging out in the Wild Wolf Gang, without having revealed themselves.
In terms of strength, this couple was nothing extraordinary, just average. Not to mention coming close to the Nine Great Experts, they wouldn’t even rank in the top ten thousand. It’s very likely they couldn’t be found even in the top hundred thousand. However, when it came to assassination, everyone had to give them a thumbs up!

The expert assassins, Master Assassins, the Dual Assassins, were none other than this couple. In the entire Assassin’s Realm, they were absolutely famous. Towards the later stages, they even became targets of adoration for many young people, Superstar Level figures.
Assassins always leave traces, such as their methods or habits. However, this couple had boundless creativity. Each assassination was carried out differently. If it weren’t for a special signature they left, people wouldn’t even know it was their work.
The male of the Dual Assassins controlled the Scorpion Dragon, always lurking in the shadows waiting for the opportunity. If he didn’t act, it was as if he didn’t exist, but once he struck, it was impossible to defend against. Wherever the Scorpion Tail Needle pierced, there was no salvation for the victim.
The female of the Dual Assassins controlled the Bee Dragon, which was incredibly fast and had a myriad of unpredictable attack methods. Wherever the Bee Tail Needle pierced, there was no remedy. Once this couple set their sights on someone, there was nothing good in store for them.
This couple wasn’t strong individually, and together, they found it hard to defeat opponents outright — they were basically useless. In reality, their greatest strength lay in their intelligence, discussing and pondering with each other and then devising plans, making revisions, up until the final execution, which required a vast amount of time.
In his past life, this was the assessment of the couple — it wasn’t Yama one should fear pursuing them, but the contemplation of the Dual Assassins. Regardless of the target’s strength, level, or type and features, once pondered upon by the Dual Assassins, they would always find a solution, and the target would eventually be killed.
Within the Assassin’s Realm, this couple’s ranking wasn’t at the top, merely in the ninth position of the assassin hierarchy. After all, their success rate in assassination was not very high, often failing, and compared to the first-ranked assassin, who never failed, they were worlds apart.
But the characteristic of the Dual Assassins was that they never differentiated targets or were choosy about their clients. As long as they were offered gratifying payment, they would take on any job. Although they often failed in their assassinations, in the end, no matter how many times they failed, not one of their marked victims ever escaped.
As for that individual ranked first amongst assassins, it’s better left unsaid. While indeed immensely powerful, it was actually a group effort. Before he made a move, countless people paved the way for him, with many others coordinating. All he had to do was to strike at the critical moment. Most importantly, he was selective of his targets, and wouldn’t accept those that were too challenging.
