  Tian Du City.

  The Assassin Association……

  A middle-aged man was sipping his tea lightly.

  “Master.”


  A disciple knelt in front of him.

  “How’s the investigation going?” the middle-aged man asked.

  “We’ve investigated enough.”


  That disciple said, “Some time ago, the branch accepted a major deal and ambushed Zhao Yunshan. We failed and exposed some things. After Lu Ming heard about it, he created this card.”


  “Heh.”


  The middle-aged man could not stifle his smile. “A president that protects his calves.”


  “Aren’t you anxious?”


  The disciple smiled bitterly. “The business of our association has been adversely impacted! Some of our geniuses have already been poached! Even the headquarters issued us warning.”


  “Calm down.”


  The middle-aged man smiled faintly.

  What had their association not experienced over the numerous years?

  One card?

  Heh.

  “Child.”


  “Have you heard of the Five Knight Alliance?” the middle-aged man said.

  “Yes.”


  The disciple had a serious expression.

  The Five Knight Alliance was formed when a cultivator brought together five formidable forces to oppose the Assassin Association and avenge the death of his family’s child!

  According to rumors……

  There were many deaths and casualties in that battle!

  They did not know what had happened in the end. The Five Knight Alliance had also become a legend.

  “Because all of them died.”


  The middle-aged man lifted his teacup and blew it gently.

  The disciple’s heart trembled.

  Dead……

  All of them died?!

  This was a formidable alliance of five powerful forces! He heard that each of them was very strong! The five of them had joint forces. How could they possibly die?!

  “Silly child.”


  The middle-aged man smiled faintly. “You have to know that for assassinations, the Assassin Association only has a 10% market share. The biggest player in the market are…… killer organizations!

  “Lu Ming’s Sun Card not only implicated the interests of the Assassin Association but also killer organizations!

  “Just wait and see.

  “Although the Sun Card is only currently sold in Tian Du City……

  “Heh.

  “The local killer organizations are enough to choke him!”


  The middle-aged man had a calm expression.

  So, that was what happened.

  The disciples were stunned.

  Killer organizations……

  Lu Ming……

  He could not help but glance at his master.

  “He shouldn’t have done that.”


  The middle-aged man said coldly, “We are not the Summoner Association or Swordsman Association. Neither are we the Elementalist Association. We are the Assassin Association!

  “We brush shoulders with the law……

  “We are the child of the night!”
……

  At this very moment……

  Sword Card Master Association.

  When Zhao Yunshan realized what happened, his expression changed drastically.

  Master……

  He took action in the end!!!

  He was really worried about this!

  He knew that his master was powerful and extremely talented. However, he was too young and his understanding of this world was not deep enough.

  For example……

  The damned Assassin Association!

  This was, in true sense, an association with a tradition that had been passed down since the ancient times!

  It was too dangerous!

  Therefore……

  Typically, after encountering such a situation, everyone would try to figure out who the murderer was through other channels and means! He did not expect his master to be that headstrong!

  He had confronted them directly!

  Zhao Yunshan felt very grateful to his master. At the same time, he was very worried.

  Hence, he dashed to Lu Ming’s office immediately.

  “Is anything the matter?”


  Lu Ming watched his disciple with a smile.

  Tsk tsk.

  The funds of the association had increased tremendously due to the earnings from the Sun Card!

  Each of the disciples made a fortune and the entire association was creating cards fervently now. Huge sums of money were flowing into the bank account.

  Of course, he felt great.

  “Master.”


  Zhao Yunshan was worried. “Have you thought of revenge by the killer organization?”


  “Revenge?”


  Lu Ming glanced at him.

  “Yes,”


  Zhao Yunshan said in a low voice, “The Sun Card almost destroyed the business of all the killers in Tian Du City! Those people won’t let things go easily!”


  “What’s the point of them looking for me?”


  Lu Ming was very calm.

  He now understood the saying that the innocent man’s only crime is to carry the gem that everyone is coveting……

  Therefore, he had not encrypted the card this time!

  Similar to the past, each time he encountered this kind of so-called danger, he would immediately announce to the world the formula of the Sun Card!

  There was no point in killing him!

  He could avert 99% of the dangers in this case!

  Therefore, this time, Lu Ming did not do any encryption!

  It was pointless for the Assassin Association to kill him! Although this card had just been put on sale, the various associations were already researching it secretly.

  In less than three days!

  The entire world would have the Sun Card!

  “It’s different.”


  Zhao Yunshan smiled bitterly. “Master, the people from the killer organization are madmen! Typically, when such things occur, they nip in the bud and eliminate the source!”


  What was a killer?

  They were the presence of a mad demon.

  They would not leave behind any foreseeable trouble for themselves!

  They were used to eliminating the source of the threat!

  Transaction?

  Compromise?

  No way.

  As long as there was a chance, they would pester people like a poisonous snake.

  They would not give up till they died!

  Since Lu Ming could create the Sun Card, he would be able to create similar cards in the future?!

  This was also a problem.

  Therefore, although being open about the Sun Card could avoid most of the dangers, there were some people who would target him like a poisonous snake!

  Lu Ming: o(╯□╰)o.

  Damn!

  Did they have to go to such an extent?!

  It seemed…… rather different from what he had imagined.

  “Didn’t the other associations boycott them before?”


  Lu Ming suddenly asked.

  He was certain.

  The Assassin Association and the killer organizations were closely associated.

  “They did.”


  Zhao Yunshan said in a low voice, “There is no use.”


  Some people boycotted them.

  Of course, some people also needed them.

  However, it was too difficult to annihilate this association.

  “Oh……”


  Lu Ming suddenly understood now.

  What was a killer?

  A weapon!

  In essence, they were the most extreme weapons of some people! The best word to describe them was — gun!!!

  The guns in the West!!

  Were they dangerous?

  Yes.

  Could they be banned?

  No.

  He clearly remembered that in his past life, there was a certain mass shooting accident in the West and many students died. After a serious investigation, they confirmed that the main culprit was games!

  It was games that harmed youthful and carefree students!

  It was games that tainted the free and clean air!

  Hence, in the biggest supermarkets in the West, all the gun shooting games were taken down the shelves. However, the guns on the shelves next to them were still sold in the supermarket.

  That was right.

  Their guns were sold in the supermarket.

  It was open and easy access.

  →_→


  Don’t tell me everyone is a fool and doesn’t understand the danger of this thing?

  Sadly, they were aware.

  However, guns were very profitable!

  When a huge profit structure was already formed and permeated every nook and cranny, they turned into an unshakable presence!

  This was the truth and the Assassin Association was such a presence.

  They secretly provided intel to the various killer organizations and some presences needed the killer organizations to eliminate some existences……

  Hence, when one implicated them, they would implicate the interests of the entire conglomerate!

  This was the situation faced by Lu Ming now!

  The Sun Card had been on sale for two days and the killer organization in Tian Du City already had their eyes on him! Fortunately, Lu Ming did not have the means to sell it worldwide……

  Otherwise, he was afraid that seven-star, eight-star and nine-star big shots would have long arrived.

  “Can’t the police do anything about it?”


  Lu Ming shrugged.

  “There is no way to prevent it.”


  Zhao Yunshan’s expression was solemn.

  They had too little understanding of killers.

  Some killers who had been nurtured had not even done any missions. They were no different from ordinary folks and might not even be of the Assassin vocation!

  When such an ordinary man walked past you……

  Pfft!

  Just for a second.

  He might have already penetrated your body.

  There was not even any lubricant! Who could tolerate this?!

  “Alright.”


  Lu Ming sighed.

  The situation was more troublesome than he had imagined. His original plan was to avert 99% of the danger by doing away with the encryption!

  However……

  He had never expected that the remaining 1% of danger was that scary!

  Didn’t he do the same for the Summoner Association and Elementalist Association?! Why did the situation turn out to be that serious when it came to the Assassin Association?

  “So are you saying that……” Lu Ming resumed.

  “Engage in peace talks,” Zhao Yunshan suggested.

  “Oh……”


  Lu Ming paused for a moment.

  He had this intention as well. If they could successfully have a peace talk and he could sell the Sun Card, it would be good for everyone.

  At this moment.

  Lu Ming’s communication device vibrated and a message appeared, “Lu Ming, hand over the design plan of the Sun Card and cease creating the card. I will pretend that nothing has happened.”


  Source —


  The Assassin Association……

  “Heh.”


  Lu Ming smiled instantly.

  This is indeed the Assassin Association.

  Look at this condescending tone……

  “Are old associations that amazing?”


  Lu Ming smiled.

  He did this not only to stand up for Zhao Yunshan but also the association was running low on funds……

  The Sun Card!

  The effect was stable and powerful!

  If he could develop it into a perfect production line, this would be a better earning opportunity for the Sword Card Masters!

  How could he possibly give up?!

  Hand it over?

  Cease production?

  They were very arrogant!

  Zhao Yunshan sighed.

  He knew that Master would not back down at this stage.

  He also felt angered by this, much less a heaven’s pride like Master!

  Young people were hot-blooded and full of passion.

  “Master.

  “I will try my best to protect the association,” Zhao Yunshan said in a low voice.

  Since there was no turning back, they would fight!

  Although the Assassin Association was powerful, they had enemies as well! If he could purchase all the land surrounding them and hire a large number of bodyguards……

  Zhao Yunshan began to contemplate.

  Or perhaps……

  He should simply buy the building opposite them for the police so that the latter could move in.

  Well……

  Or perhaps……

  “What’s on your mind?”


  Lu Ming felt amused.

  “It’s okay.”


  Zhao Yunshan came to his senses.

  “You may go.”


  Lu Ming said blandly, “I will handle this situation. You don’t need to do anything. Just watch. The Assassin Association…… Haha……”


  Lu Ming sneered coldly.

  Zhao Yunshan broke in a sweat.

  Master……

  Are you really that confident?

  He had no idea.

  Although his master had never failed in any of his endeavors before, their opponent this time was too powerful. Furthermore, this had happened because of him. He could not help but worry!

  However……

  Since his master had already given his instructions, he could only abide by them.

  He would prepare a huge sum of money and monitor the situation.

  Most importantly, he had to become more powerful! If their association had one seven-star, eight-star or even nine-star, the risks would certainly be reduced greatly!

  At the thought of this, Zhao Yunshan left and went to cultivate……

  At this moment……

  Countless eyes were on the Sword Card Master Association.

  They also wanted to know if Lu Ming’s association could fight the killer organizations?! Could the association survive?!

  Even the dean felt somewhat worried.

  “Lu Ming.

  “Why don’t you come and stay at my place for a few days?” the dean said softly.

  Since Lu Ming contributed all his funds to reconstruct the testing area, he had figured out Lu Ming’s character.

  He was really a kind person.

  And this time?

  Undoubtedly, after learning more about the killer organizations, how could Lu Ming possibly tolerate such dark and sinful deeds?

  Hence, Lu Ming stood up.

  He did it for the sake of the cultivators who had been assassinated! It was his pure, innocent heart which was burning with passion!

  “No need.”


  Lu Ming smiled and said, “Don’t worry, I’m safe here.”


  “Why do you have to do this?” The dean was emotional.

  Lu Ming was silent for a moment. “Some things have to be done.”


  “Alright!”


  The dean’s heart trembled.

  Yes.

  A long time ago, he had also had such inspirations?!

  He said in a low voice, “I am on your side unconditionally for this matter! Don’t worry. Contact me anytime if anything happens.”


  “Okay,” Lu Ming replied.

  After a long time……

  The chief of operations and police organization also contacted Lu Ming. Even the policemen in charge of the vicinity came to the Sword Card Master Association on standby!

  It would be safer that way.

  However, facing a killer organization with unknown prowess, was not reassuring.

  Was there really no problem?……

  At this very moment……

  Sword Card Master Association.

  All the disciples were high spirited and filled with pride.

  They had briefly heard about news of possible killers. Besides shock and surprise, they also felt admiration and respect for their president from the bottom of their hearts!

  Hot-blooded!

  Righteous!

  This was their president!

  “Hang the Sun Card in every corner.”


  Li Haoran made arrangements in a calm and collected manner. “Henceforth, turn on the surveillance cameras for 24 hours a day. A spirit body has to be on guard duty at every inch of the association!”


  “Yes!” the disciples said simultaneously.

  The Sword Card Master Association did not lack manpower!

  This was because they had a terrifying number of spirit bodies!

  The Sword Card Master Association was on standby.

  The cultivators who came there to investigate occasionally had already understood what happened.

  Lu Ming……

  They were afraid that he was going to start a fight with the killer organizations!!!

  At the thought of this……

  Everyone’s heart trembled.

  Lu Ming……

  Had he gone berserk?!

  Anyone who understood the history of the Assassin Association knew how terrifying this association was. They would know how horrifying their assassination means were!

  Police?

  They might not be of any help.

  Henceforth, they had to be wary of anyone they saw. Any delivery that came late, changes in weather and even the air pollution……

  The sky darkened.

  A trace of murderous intent emerged from the darkness.

  Lu Ming was looking out of the windows from his room.

  “Master~”


  Xiaobai walked towards him.

  “Yes.”


  Lu Ming smiled. “Why aren’t you sleeping yet?”


  “I’m worried about you, Master.”


  Xiaobai walked towards Lu Ming hesitantly and then straightened her back. “Master, the bad guys may come today. Therefore, I want to sleep with you tonight!”


  Lu Ming coughed. “Are you sure it’s because you’re worried about me?”


  “Yes.”


  Xiaobai lowered her head, blushing.

  “Oh?”


  Lu Ming felt amused.

  After contemplating carefully, he agreed. In fact, he was not worried of danger. However…… what if the group of killers were to attack Xiaobai?

  Right?

  He was considering the bigger picture!

  Hence……

  When the sky darkened further……

  For the first time, Lu Ming and Xiaobai slept together.

  Night time.

  Time passed quietly……

  The next day.

  At dawn.

  A streak of sunlight emerged in the sky.

  Just as the spirit bodies and the disciples were prepared to change their shift, the murderous intent intensified and a frightening force had already locked onto them.

  In the association.

  In the middle of the square.

  Sitting cross-legged, Zhao Yunshan was looking toward the entrance of the association. “It’s coming……”


  “Prepare to fight!”


  The disciples were awakened instantly.

  Finally……

  It has arrived?

  They were well aware of the killer organization!

  They also knew that the fight was very dangerous. However, they had been in the Sword Card Master Association for long and had already taken a liking to everything there!

  How could they let their Master protect the place alone?!

  Even if they were to die, they had no regrets!

  “Let’s fight!”


  The disciples had serious and grave expressions.

  Buzz—


  Buzz—


  One by one, Original Cards emerged.

  All the disciples of the Sword Card Master Association were on standby.

  Swoosh!

  They carefully listened and seemingly, something was approaching……

  It was closing in……

  Bang!

  The doors of the association suddenly exploded.

  “Be careful!”


  Zhao Yunshan looked serious. He was then shocked when he saw a huge figure at the entrance, amid that dust and smoke……

  Eh? Wait a minute?

  They took a closer look and it was actually a graceful figure carrying a huge bag……

  Eh?

  When that figure appeared, all the eyes of the Sword Card Masters widened. The person carrying the bag was the legendary unrivaled Swordsman —


  Qiu Shuyi!

  Clang!

  There was a deafening sound.

  Qiu Shuyi threw the bag on the floor with a murderous look on her face.

  “Where is Lu Ming?” she asked coldly.

  Ah?

  The disciples looked confused.

  What was happening?

  The disciples glanced at one another.

  Stop?

  How were they supposed to do so?!

  This was Qiu Shuyi!

  But then again, wasn’t Senior Qiu the master of the President’s sister?

  How could this be……

  At that moment……

  Zhao Yunshan was sharp to notice a crumpled letter in Qiu Shuyi’s hands. Energy condensed in his eyes instantly and he read some of the content.

  ——


  Memo to the Father-in-law:

  Hello.

  Father-in-law.

  I miss you very much since our last parting.

  Junior has contemplated for a long time. Sister Qiu is no longer young and it is not good to drag this on. If she can give birth to children soon, the children will no doubt inherit the best genes. As such, junior hopes that you can convince Sister Qiu to come to the Sword Card Master Association for cohabitation. If I have the time, junior will definitely pay you a visit.

  — Lu Ming.

  There was also one black, huge and cursive word written in brushstrokes: Approved!

  ——


  Ss——


  Zhao Yunshan looked terrified.

  Damn!

  Senior Qiu’s family chased her here to cohabitate with Master?!

  This is amazing!

  It turns out that Master is that amazing?!

  Wait a minute.

  He looked at Senior Qiu’s furious face and suddenly thought of a terrifying situation……

  Yesterday, Senior Sister Xiaobai seemed to be sleeping with Master?!

  Senior Qiu is here……

  “Oh no!!!”


  Zhao Yunshan’s heart turned cold.

  This is bad.

  Master is going to be caught in the act of adultery……
