Chapter 662: Chapter 288 Making a Big Deal Out of Something Small_2
“Assuming countless forms, wealth can command the divine.
“Could this person be…?”
Ghost Lady sighed:
“He is the Store Manager…
“The Store Manager of Da You Bank!”
The mountain wind suddenly roared, blowing the curtain of the sedan as well as Su Mo’s hair.
Da You Bank!
Across Donghuang, you might be unaware of the Dongcheng Seven Sects, unaware of the Three Great Demon Sects.
You might even be unaware of the current number one in Donghuang, Su Mo…
But you absolutely must know of Da You Bank.
The origins of Da You Bank are extremely mysterious in such an era of Jianghu strife and endless chaos.
It has made all forces recognize its existence.
As long as you carry a silver note from Da You Bank, anywhere in Donghuang where there is a branch, you can exchange it for silver.
There are many banks in Donghuang, almost every city or power has its own bank.
But the only silver note universally accepted across Donghuang belongs solely to Da You Bank.
At first hearing, this might not seem so remarkable.
Yet upon closer reflection, it is utterly chilling.
“Da You Bank…”
Su Mo turned his head, looking down at Tihu Village:
“I should have thought of this earlier…
“A Store Manager so wealthy, even Hidden Killing Building can’t assassinate him.
“Indeed, he could be considered someone whose wealth commands the divine.
“And across Donghuang, who could be wealthier than Da You Bank?”
“Yes.”
Ghost Lady seemed to smile, but her voice carried a hint of helplessness:
“Hidden Killing Building has a special origin; this Store Manager from Da You Bank has had many dealings with us.
“If Hidden Killing Building were to kill him, the losses would be unimaginable.
“Moreover, although Hidden Killing Building has extensive reach and many informants throughout Donghuang, to date, they have never been able to locate where this Store Manager actually hides, or who he truly is.
“Lord Su, the Chief of the Escort, overestimates Hidden Killing Building.
“Just as if someone asked our Hidden Killing Building to kill Lord Su, our first action would be to kill that person.
“Our business is assassination, not engaging in suicide.
“Please let Lord Su see clearly.”
“So, someone has paid you to kill me?”
Su Mo looked at the grand red sedan with a smile that was not quite a smile.
“Yes.”
Ghost Lady gave a definite response: “Ever since the affair of the Xinghai Relic Sand Iron in the hands of Lord Su spread throughout Jianghu, there have been several skilled individuals in Jianghu who used various means to contact Hidden Killing Building, hoping we would take on this commission.”
“My head must be quite valuable, right?”
Su Mo smiled.
“Far more than the Xinghai Relic Sand Iron.”
Ghost Lady gently shook her head: “However, not one of them could offer such a price.”
“What if someone could offer that price?”
Su Mo asked, curious.
“…”
Ghost Lady found Su Mo seemed to enjoy making things difficult for others.
After a moment of silence, she sighed and said: “Then I’d probably have to do what I did tonight again, go find the party involved and explain to them that this matter… Hidden Killing Building can’t do.”
“What if you can’t find them?”
“… Then I’ll have to come to you, Lord Su, to inform you that someone wants to kill you, to remind you… to be a bit more cautious.”
Su Mo sighed:
“Hidden Killing Building’s existence to this day isn’t without reason.”
Knowing when to avoid trouble you can’t afford.
This approach might seem a bit frustrating and won’t make much of a name for oneself, but at least it could save their own lives.
After all, an assassin organization doesn’t necessarily need to have a formidable reputation.
They are mere assassins, killing for money, not for fame in Jianghu.
A big name, for them, is not only not beneficial but could also invite trouble.
“Lord Su, the Chief of the Escort…”
Ghost Lady’s voice rose again:
“This time, it’s our inability at Hidden Killing Building that we can’t fulfill the commission of Lord Su.
“To compensate for the inconvenience this causes to Lord Su, please accept this item.”
As she spoke, something flew out of the sedan, whistling towards Su Mo.
As it approached, however, its wrapping gale suddenly dissipated.
Su Mo reached out and caught this object in his palm, his eyebrows slightly raised; it was another token.
Only this token was different from the previous ones.
Because… this is a Gold Token.
The Gold Token was thick and exquisitely crafted.
There was also a sword on it, but this sword lacked any trace of bloodlight.
Su Mo looked at the token, then at Ghost Lady’s sedan:
“What is this?”
“The most prestigious Gold Token of Hidden Killing Building, given only to the most honored guests.
“Whosoever holds this Gold Token, shall have their requests fulfilled by Hidden Killing Building with all our might, free of charge.”
Ghost Lady continued: “Lord Su, as the number one expert of Donghuang, does not need Hidden Killing Building’s help for assassinations. However, if there are messages to be procured, or if there are matters inconvenient for you to handle personally, just carry this token and seek Hidden Killing Building.
“That Jing Hong Feixue, Xu Lu, he has the connections to find Hidden Killing Building.
“And if Lord Su needs it, I can also leave the contact methods of Hidden Killing Building for you to easily contact us at any time.
“Finally… holders of this Gold Token, including their families and friends, are not listed on Hidden Killing Building’s assassination rolls.”
