The lounge area became quiet.

On the road...

Jun Xie was seated as far as possible from Tang Yuan within the carriage, trying hard to maintain himself. Enduring the stench of fat coming off Fatty Tang's body was no easy feat. Even for someone who was the King of Assassins of his generation, Jun Xie felt as though he may not be able to hold on.

Jun Xie opened the carriage curtains to let the air in. "Fatty Tang, from what you have told me, it seems like you have been suffering quite miserably at home."

Tang Yuan who originally looked enthusiastic slumped down. He waved his hand as he feebly replied. "Third Young Master, if you consider yourself my brother then do not bring this up again. Once I think about it, I get the urge to just hang myself. How could I be so unlucky? You do not see others being hit by such a kind of circumstance. But why is it that this keeps happening to me again and again? Third Young Master, I really am... unlucky!"

"Then, do you want to rid yourself of this problematic situation?" Jun Xie gave out a sinister laughter, tempting Tang Yuan.

"Of course I want, why would I not want? Only a real bastard would not want to! But, this is not a matter that can be easily resolved!" Tang Yuan scratched his head, his expression making his face look older.

"Don't say things like easy or difficult. All I am asking is whether you want to rid yourself of this miserable life!" Jun Xie asked, as he led the "fish" towards the bait, his eyes staring at Fatty Tang!

"I want, I really want!" Tang Yuan burst out with excitement. "Third Young Master, could it be you have a plan?"

"I do not have many plans, but I do have a few tricks. And any of these tricks will be enough for you to escape from your current predicament. Are you interested?" Jun Xie chuckled as he shook his legs.

"I am interested! ... Third Young Master! My dear brother! Brother Jun! Uncle Jun! Ancestor! ... Please tell me quickly, I really cannot take any more of this," At this moment, Tang Yuan felt as though he had grasped onto a life-saving straw, he became excited, panting for breath and almost bursting into tears.

"Today, we saw how arrogant that Northern City Clan was, did we not? In addition, they also made you feel very unhappy, did they not?" Jun Xie mentioned while laughing lightly.

"Unhappy? Those two sons of bitches made me really vexed! If not for the fact that there is a problem back at home, I would have already exterminated them! When he comes to send money tomorrow, I will not even go meet him!" Tang Yuan shook his head. "Third Young Master, quick tell me what your plan is. Why did you bring up these two rubbish for?"

"Is this not a method? Tang Yuan, I am certain that not many people are aware that a burglary happened at your home, am I right?" Jun Xie smiled.

"There are many who knew that our house was robbed! Having items stolen was no big deal, but the information of what was stolen is something that nobody else knows. If people were to find out that that a Ninth level Xuan Core was stolen from our house, then my family would become a laughing stock for everyone. Externally, we only announced that we are chasing after some runaway slaves and some enemies," Tang Yuan mumbled. He was becoming confused as to what kind of solution Jun Xie was trying to give him.

"But if my guess is correct, Qin Hu is aware of all that," Jun Xie shook his legs again. "You may have noticed earlier, but when you mentioned that something was stolen from your Tang Family, Qin Hu's face became flustered, his body seemingly breaking out in sweat." In truth, there was only a slight change in Qin Hu's eyes whereas his face showed no change. As for the sweat, that was non-existent. However, Fatty Tang was not paying attention and could no longer remember.
