Chapter 1448: 120 A Piece of Advice
Chapter 1448: Chapter 120 A Piece of Advice“Think it over.” Yin Guan pressed on while the iron was hot, “I can help you hide your identity really well!”
In this courtyard of an unknown family, the two squatters were discussing the matter of joining forces.
Todays Yin Guan seemed particularly eager, though this wasnt the first time he had extended an invitation, and Jiang Wang wasn’t refusing for the first time either.
Jiang Wang said quietly, “If you want no one to know, the only way is not to do it yourself.”
“If you don’t want others to know, just kill those who know,” Yin Guan reminded.
“There’s no wall under the heavens that doesn’t let the wind through.”
“That’s because the killing wasn’t clean enough.”
Jiang Wang didn’t want to say anything offensive, but seeing the other’s persistent attitude, he had no choice but to be direct, “I don’t want to live day to day, constantly on the run from pursuers.”
Yin Guan looked puzzled, “Aren’t you running from people chasing you now?”
Jiang Wang: …
Yin Guan coaxed, “If you join us, next time you run into someone like Zhao Xuenyang, you can directly contact me. I’ll gather everyone and make sure things are handled cleanly for you.”
“Oh?” Jiang Wang asked, “What if it’s Pei Xinghe?”
Yin Guan admitted frankly, “Then you won’t be able to reach me.”
“So.” Jiang Wang spoke with regret, “Hell Has No Door is not suitable for me.”
Actually, both of them knew that the reason Jiang Wang refused to join Hell Has No Door wasn’t because of the Yama position’s auspiciousness, the earnings, or the danger…
Rather, Jiang Wang simply did not agree with Hell Has No Door’s ideology, nor did he agree with Yin Guan’s way of conducting matters.
“Alright then.” Yin Guan wasn’t very bothered, and subtly shifted the conversation, “I let you off the hook today, do you admit it?”
“Saying it that way makes it meaningless, huh,” Jiang Wang said, “If you hadn’t come today, your Hell Has No Door might need to recruit new members. So, ultimately, I let them off the hook.”
“Really?” Yin Guan was noncommittal, “Too bad I came.”
Jiang Wang thought for a moment and then honestly said, “You’re right.”
“As long as you admit it.” Yin Guan smiled, “Then show it a bit, just give me dozens of Prime Stones at random.”
“Blood money?”
“Blood money, road toll, hush money, interpret it however you want.”
Jiang Wang looked at him and said, “Even if we aren’t friends, we are at least acquaintances. Extorting me upon meeting, isn’t that inappropriate?”
“Of course, of course, we are very familiar.” Yin Guan said with a smile, “If we met under different circumstances, I certainly wouldn’t bother you, might even sit down for a cup of tea and a chat. But Jiang Tianjiao, like you just said, you almost made me recruit all over for Hell Has No Door. Can I, as the leader of Hell Has No Door, just look on?”
“I didn’t even touch a hair on them!” Jiang Wang felt very indignant, paused, and added, “Does bragging count?”
Yin Guan laughed it off.
Jiang Wang had no choice but to fork over the money.
Yang Xuance hadn’t been caught, but he had been extorted a sum, which made him extremely resentful.
While handing over the Prime Stones, he commented, “You didn’t used to be like this.”
“The organization has grown and developed, lacking money everywhere.” Yin Guan earnestly counted, totaling ten Prime Stones, just meeting the minimum standard of ‘dozens,’ sighed helplessly, “You just take the other road, I’ll pretend I haven’t seen you.”
Extorted my Prime Stones yet wearing the expression that says I’m taking advantage; what does that mean?
Jiang Wang felt a toothache from anger, but fortunately, remained rational, knowing he couldn’t defeat him. He donned his cloak and made his way out of the courtyard, heading towards the city outskirts…
Better hurry to the Hanging Monastery; this heartbreaking place, unwilling to linger!
Watching Jiang Wang’s silhouette disappear, Yin Guan shook his head somewhat regretfully, turned around and departed, heading back to the alley.
If Jiang Wang’s infamous alliance with demons were truly confirmed, which led to universal hatred and deep unresolved vendettas, there might be hope for him to join Hell Has No Door. Otherwise, with Jiang Wang’s character, he certainly wouldn’t change his choice.
Thinking back to the first meeting in You Nation, although he sensed this person wasn’t ordinary, he truly hadn’t anticipated this person progressing to this stage today.
Really astonishing.
Upon returning to the alley, Taishan King remained at the alley entrance, Wheel-turning King still crouched on the wall, and Yang Xuance was still at the end of the alley.
Yin Guan directly looked towards Yang Xuance, straightforwardly said, “I just saved you from under the hands of Daqi’s third-rank golden melon Samurai Jiang Wang, and this requires additional payment.”
Wheel-turning King looked at his leader but said nothing.
The current King of Qin Guang was substantially different from the King of Qin Guang who had established the organization back in Broken Soul Gorge.
At that time, Yin Guan wouldn’t have shown this mercenary side.
Ultimately, money could thwart even heroes, expanding peripheral forces, constructing intelligence networks, establishing bases everywhere… every place needed resources to fill.
However, this aspect now also brought a touch of humanity to King of Qin Guang’s strong and cold image.
Wheel-turning King silently contemplated… perhaps proof that after refining the negative, achieving God Arrives, King of Qin Guang had moved forward many more steps.
Yang Xuance wasn’t sufficiently acquainted with Yin Guan, he hesitated at his remark, “Where is the person?”
“You don’t need to worry about that, I have my ways to handle it,” Yin Guan said very coldly, “In short, he can no longer pose a threat to you.”
“You killed him?” Yang Xuance asked.
“Do you want me to kill him?” Yin Guan countered, then said, “This price isn’t cheap. His weight in Qi Country isn’t comparable to Zhao Xuan.”
“No need.” Yang Xuance shook his head.
“Then let’s settle the account first.”
…
Before long, Yang Xuance left the alley alone.
Left in the alley, Taishan King asked aloud, “Where did this kid get so much wealth?”
“Who knows?” Yin Guan, satisfied with storing away the Storage Box, only concerned whether the deal was made, not concerned with the other.
Crouched on the wall’s edge, Wheel-turning King commented, “Nothing more than legacy from a lost kingdom’s secret treasury… indeed, even a broken ship has three weights of nails, especially a prince of a fallen nation.”
“Why don’t we just rob him directly?” The newly-appointed Taishan King asked, “Compared to helping him deal with Qi Country’s officials, eliminating him is certainly easier, and less troublesome.”
Yin Guan calmly glanced at him, simply saying, “We are assassins, not bandits.”
“What’s the difference?” Taishan King couldn’t quite understand, “Killing and plundering are essentially one. Robbery doesn’t require consent, our killings are likewise.”
“Credibility.” Yin Guan responded, “If Hell Has No Door wishes to grow and prosper, with uninterrupted business streams, credibility is essential. Eating from both upstream and downstream can gain short-term profits but it shatters Hell Has No Door’s reputation.”
“Who cares about reputation?” Taishan King laughed, “We don’t even know if there’s a tomorrow after today, so isn’t it all about having some momentary pleasure?”
Convincing others is genuinely the most challenging task because everyone harbors their own set notion.
Yin Guan ceased his explanation, merely saying, “Just remember what I said.”
After throwing down that line, he turned to leave.
This attitude perhaps seemed arrogant and made Taishan King uneasy. To become a Yama in Hell Has No Door, one wouldn’t be weak.
However, he was grim-eyed yet dared not say anything further.
Semi-crouched on the wall, Wheel-turning King suddenly asked, “Do you know how the previous Taishan King died?”
“How did he die?” Taishan King asked.
But Wheel-turning King didn’t directly answer and said, “If you say things you shouldn’t say, you will die. If King of Qin Guang ever feels that you might say things you shouldn’t, you will also die.”
He smiled, “Consider it advice from a predecessor.”
After that, he fell backward, his entire being disappeared.
