Chapter Ninety-One: Who Took Part in That Affair Twenty Years Ago?

What are you supposed to be?”

The moment Qin Mu said those words, the entire hall fell into a deathly silence.

In Xiong Shan’s eyes, there rose an expression of shock even greater than when he had seen Qin Mu pluck a flower like a sword.

What kind of man was Madman Meng?

He was the kind of assassin from the Black Net that one would rather never have to use.

No one present did not understand how terrifying Madman Meng was.

Not to mention someone like Qin Mu, who was so brazen as to openly challenge him.

“You’re asking me what I am?” Madman Meng let out a few amused laughs, murderous intent flaring in his eyes.

Qin Mu did not answer. Instead, he asked, “You mean to protect him?”

“That’s right!”

Madman Meng straightened his back, his massive frame standing like a pine that would not fall.

Everyone in the Black Net knew that Madman Meng was always fiercely protective of his own.

Back when the Venom Scorpion had not yet entered the ranks of the top ten assassins, it was Madman Meng himself who took action and tore the head off the assassin in tenth place.

He had forcefully pushed the Venom Scorpion into the top ten.

At those words, Qin Mu only gave a faint smile and shook his head.

Seeing that carefree look on Qin Mu’s face, Madman Meng was instantly enraged and roared, “What are you laughing at!”

“I’m afraid you won’t be able to protect him.”

“Then you might as well try!”

Madman Meng’s voice was as savage as a wolf’s as his muscles tensed and he stood in front of the Venom Scorpion.

“Big brother, be careful. This guy is no ordinary man!” the Venom Scorpion warned.

The scene of Qin Mu breaking bones with a single finger still would not leave his mind.

Qin Mu’s feet shifted lightly, as though he were treading on air. With a sound like space itself being stomped apart, his figure vanished instantly from everyone’s sight.

That speed was too fast!

Madman Meng’s eyes widened.

Even for him, he could only barely make out Qin Mu’s afterimage.

“Hmph! You want to fight me head-on? I, Madman Meng, have never feared anyone!”

Madman Meng’s fist crashed forward. Meeting Qin Mu’s charge, he meant to flatten him with a single punch.

He had fought countless opponents in his life and knew full well that once a swift enemy got tangled with you, things became extremely troublesome; one might well be worn down to death.

But he had far too much confidence in his own power.

Qin Mu’s gaze was cold and indifferent. He stepped out with a kick so fierce it seemed to sweep away an entire army, slamming it into Madman Meng’s body. That terrifying strike, no different from his earlier advance, burst forth in midair with a violent sound of air tearing apart.

Boom! Boom!!

Madman Meng was sent flying dozens of meters by that overwhelming kick, crashing into the concrete wall opposite and punching a huge hole straight through the solid barrier. Even the load-bearing pillar was shattered, and several sections of wall, together with part of the ceiling, came collapsing down.

Dust billowed in an instant, burying Madman Meng beneath the ruins!

“This...”

Everyone present stared at the scene, mouths agape, unable to utter a single word, all of them stunned by that fearsome power.

Madman Meng, one of the top three assassins on the Black Net, kicked flying with a single blow?!

On any ordinary day, they would not even dare imagine such a thing!

Yet the fact stood right before their eyes. In less than three seconds, Madman Meng had been completely crushed by one move.

Many people looked toward the rubble and saw that Madman Meng, who had always fought until either death or grievous injury, was now lying in the ruins without a sound.

No one knew whether he had been knocked unconscious or simply no longer dared to rise.

The Venom Scorpion stared in shock at his big brother. He had originally wanted to go over and check on him, but just as he stood up, he felt a gaze as cold as the abyss fall upon him.

“Wait! Don’t kill me! I can tell you who sent people to kill you! After hiring me, he bought a plane ticket out of River City!” At this point, the Venom Scorpion no longer cared about any assassin’s code of conduct. Keeping his own life was the only thing that mattered.

“You think he can get away?” Qin Mu said.

The Venom Scorpion was startled and quickly took out his phone to contact the man, only to find that the other party’s number had already been deactivated and canceled.

Meanwhile, after kicking away Madman Meng, Qin Mu was already less than several dozen meters from the Venom Scorpion. Just a few more steps, and he would be right in front of him.

Cold sweat drenched the Venom Scorpion’s forehead, his eyes filled only with terror.

The others clenched their fists even tighter.

Even if the Venom Scorpion were killed, it would not have been much of a matter under normal circumstances. After all, in the business of assassination, one always lived with one’s head hanging by a thread, and there would always be others ready to fill the vacant seat among the top ten assassins.

But if the Venom Scorpion were slain single-handedly inside the Black Net headquarters, and that matter spread...

Then the Black Net’s reputation would be ruined, and it would have no foothold left in River City.

That was why Xiong Shan and the others wanted, by any means necessary, to protect the Venom Scorpion.

Just as Qin Mu was still walking forward, a clear whistle rang out from the entrance.

Everyone turned toward the doorway.

A man in a long coat strode in with effortless grace, moving so quickly that in just a few seconds he had reached Qin Mu’s front.

“Spare him!”

“Sir, listen to my advice. Please stop here. I will have the Venom Scorpion come and apologize another day. Let us pretend today’s matter never happened. What do you say?”

The man in the long coat blocked Qin Mu’s path, raising a hand to bar him from advancing.

“It’s Brother Feng!”

“He actually made it back too!”

Anyone who had been in the Black Net for a few years recognized the newcomer at a glance.

One of the top five among the ten assassins, Zhang Feng, famed for lightning-fast kills and silent assassinations!

“Brother Feng, why are you being so polite to him?” the Venom Scorpion asked in shock.

“Shut your mouth!”

Zhang Feng thundered in anger.

If not for the Black Net’s reputation, he could not be bothered to save this fool who did not know death when it was upon him.

Before his voice had even faded, commotion rose again outside the door.

A group of women entered. Amid several maids walked out a woman with a seductive figure and exquisite features. Tight leather trousers wrapped around her long, slender legs, causing more than a few people to swallow hard.

“It’s Fox Lady,” murmured one person who truly knew this temptress’s ways, not daring to speak recklessly.

Another one of the top ten assassins!
