Chapter Two Hundred and Eighty: Beauty Saves the Hero

(Happy New Year to everyone! Wishing happiness to your family! After midnight tonight, I’ll post one more Chapter.)

Zheng Tian was once again incredulous, a twenty-five million investment, and he only needed forty percent of the shares. Isn’t that equivalent to actually only receiving ten million International Coins?

"Forty percent? How can that be? It should all be yours! I’m arranging the management operational as well, it won’t cost much. If you really want to cooperate and invest, I can also add more and work together..."

"Enough, it’s settled like this. Just consider it as helping Nian Yufei and knowing you as a partner, it’s my sincerity!" Li Yan waved his hand, indicating that he had decided.

Zheng Tian pondered for a moment, drawing out twenty-five million International Coins wasn’t a small sum. If he wanted to add more, it would be strenuous. Given that Li Yan had already said so, he wouldn’t boast. But...

"Alright, forty percent. But I’m not an investment expert, and I can’t guarantee the people I hire will definitely make money. So, in anticipation of the future year or two, there might be losses, I’ll personally give an extra ten percent, that way, even if there is a loss, you won’t lose what you deserve."

Even with fifty percent, it would only be twelve and a half million International Coins, only a fourth more than his initial estimate, which was completely bearable. Compared to the promised hundred million International Coins, this is a great advantage! Li Yan has repeatedly sold several favors to him, making him feel at least he shouldn’t lose money.

Without waiting for Li Yan to speak, Zheng Tian stepped forward and shook Li Yan’s hand vigorously, saying excitedly, "Pleasant cooperation! I’ll start preparing as soon as I go back, once everything is ready, I’ll come to get your signature!"

Their collaboration was founded based on Power, the legal contract and signature, was only a ceremony. As long as Li Yan remains a powerful assassin, even without a contract, Zheng Tian wouldn’t play tricks; conversely, if he lacked leverage, even with a legal contract, it might not ensure well.

That’s the reality.

...

To Li Yan and Zheng Tian, this was a very awkward day in their lives.

Others are usually the service provider offering the price, and the paying party haggling. This time, Li Yan, under the premise of the other party’s agreement, repeatedly halved the remuneration.

And Zheng Tian, in business, wished he could haggle as much as possible. But today, after reluctantly agreeing, he was startled by the discounts given by the other party. In the end, he ended up paying a fourth more than he had prepared to, but he was excited and incredulous, a bit of suspicion. This felt like preparing a thousand to eat seafood, then the restaurant says they want ten thousand, just as he heartily agrees and prepares to scrape together the money to eat, only to have the restaurant repeatedly discount, finally lowering to a thousand, making him suspicious and needing to pay a few hundred more for peace of mind.

Once the price was settled, the next step was to provide information.

"Over the years, along with Old Mu, although we weren’t able to catch them, through various connections, we gathered some information." Zheng Tian took a USB from his pocket and handed it to Li Yan. "All in here, but the extent to which it can help you, I’m not sure. Perhaps you’ll need to find more ways to assist..."

Li Yan casually put the USB into his pocket, lazily saying, "In Liguo, how big can it be? A weather report only needs to say the capital is sunny, the whole country is sunny, a place like that, to catch their hidden assassin organization, isn’t it like catching snails with three fingers - easily done? Unless they can hide until Guo Wei."

Zheng Tian was a bit surprised, "How did you know that person was from Liguo?" He recalled when describing the context, he didn’t mention that the person was from Liguo.

"Didn’t you say the ones attacking Nian Yufei these years are all from his organization? Isn’t that clear? The first time I encountered them were two Liguo people, the second time was also related to Liguo people. Doesn’t that indicate that organization is composed of Liguo people?"

Li Yan didn’t elaborate; Liguo people’s ethnicity is strong, extremely xenophobic, such an important organization, that person wouldn’t allow people from other countries or ethnicities to join. And Liguo people standing out in the Assassin Realm is nothing much, a few Liguo people coincidentally joining other countries’ assassin organization, and coincidentally all being sent out to execute the same task, the chances are too slim.

He also had ethnic character, ’they’ organization members, of course, even Li Yan himself, had many fake identities and passports.

Zheng Tian raised a thumb, "Right, that guy is indeed a Liguo person! But going to Liguo, the force you can exert is very limited. Fei’Er’s grandpa’s family does business in Liguo, but they’re all legitimate business people, they aren’t good at this at all. So they can’t catch them."

Li Yan shook his head: "This issue, after today, don’t worry about it anymore. From now on, it’s no longer your problem, it’s become my problem."

"Thank you, thank you!" Zheng Tian inexplicably breathed a sigh of relief, Li Yan being able to shoulder the problem like this, was exactly what he wanted. "I have a small request; after eliminating that person’s organization, can you spare his life, let me avenge it personally?"

Li Yan glanced at him.

Zheng Tian also felt it might be excessive, though that person started not high, should be in his forties, but from the beginning to now, also considered soaked in the assassin industry for nearly twenty years, if not powerful, should have considerable experience and skills. Professional assassins would tackle this cleanly and swiftly, awaiting him to have a showdown with the enemy would increase a lot of trouble and variables.
