C1 Fool's Contract
Although it was night time, the blood that was still very bright made him look somewhat sinister and terrifying. His dyed red right arm trembled a little, but the exposed muscles on his left arm allowed him to not have an overly tall and sturdy body, making him especially strong.
Silver Desolate stood there unmoving. At this moment, as usual, in the face of danger, he quickly and meticulously calculated how to perfectly execute his moves. They were waiting for the opportunity for the Jedi to retaliate. They couldn't afford to be negligent in the slightest. A small mistake could cost them their lives first.
This night was still considered bright, and the nervous expressions of the others were all exposed.
On one side was the silver-masked Silver Desolate. On the other side was a few men in black suits. Just by their stature alone, these men in black were much taller and stronger than Silver Desolate.
"If we can kill you today, we will be able to make a name for ourselves." The people across from him grinned.
"However, assassins who wanted to make a name for themselves with me are waiting for you in hell." Silver Wasteland laughter spread out through the narrow alleyway. It was like a death god looking down on the ants, causing the assassins to feel uneasy.
'Silver Desolate 'was just a code name for assassins. At the same time, this code name also became a legendary existence in the world of assassins.
Although Silver Wasteland was an assassin, they were not heartless, bloodthirsty demons. He had his own principles regarding the choice of targets for assassination: not killing the elderly, the weak, women and children, not killing those who contributed to society, and not killing the disabled.
As a result, the last time he took action, he killed the leader of an Arab country by mistake. It turned out that the man shouldn't have been killed because he was about to introduce reforms that would benefit the people. And now, the country that was about to get on the right track was once again in turmoil because of the assassination of its leader.
Silver Wasteland felt angry. He was an assassin, but his target was nothing good. At this moment, it was as if he had suddenly become a terrorist. He had no way of knowing who the employer was. When he tried to get information from his contact person, Cheng Yueming, whom he had always liked and had always secretly fallen in love with, who had taken care of him like an elder sister after his master died, chose to betray him. A group of assassins that they had prepared beforehand appeared.
The fact that he didn't get the money and at the same time tasted the taste of betrayal had caused his outlook on life to change drastically.
"Even the people closest to him can betray him. Who can I trust from now on? Is there anything else in this world that is worth believing? "
After experiencing this feeling of betrayal, Silver Wasteland shed its first tear in its entire life. However, this would also be the last time.
His exquisite marksmanship and the hidden weapons in his clothes had all given the other party a taste of pain. Along the way, he had killed more than a dozen of his opponents, leaving only a few people. But at the same time, he also suffered many injuries.
It seemed that the killer group hired by the other side wasn't weak either.
"The name of the Silver Wasteland has disappeared forever." The other party said arrogantly.
"No one can kill me, and you guys are even more so." A cold light flashed in Silver Wasteland's eyes. Suddenly, its bloodthirsty and cruel nature was awakened.
This was a dead end. There was no place to hide, so he could only end it with them.
At the same time the enemy opened fire, more than a dozen throwing knives flew out of his hand.
"Bang, bang, bang!" After a series of gunshots, everyone fell.
Silver Wasteland was still alive. The most fatal part of it was not the place where he had been shot at, but the place where he had been shot was covered in blood. Judging from this situation, he would not be able to hold on much longer.
"No one can help me now, but I can't die. I still need to find her and make her accept the consequences of betraying me."
Silver Desolate slowly crawled forward, leaving long, bloody marks on the ground that he crawled through.
Just as he was about to climb up to the dead bodies, a figure suddenly appeared in front of him.
"Li Haotian!"
The other party had called out his name. As a hitman, no one knew his real name. The only other person they knew was Silver Wasteland.
"Who is it that knows my name? Is he an enemy or a friend? "
Li Haotian raised his head nervously and prepared to make his final counterattack. However, the moment he lifted his head, his vision went dark and he fainted.
He didn't know how many days he had been unconscious, but he could see two faces in the dim light. One was a man, the other was a woman. He couldn't tell if it was reality or a dream.
Li Haotian woke up on this hungry morning. The first thing he saw was a slip of paper on the bedside cabinet. He picked up the note and saw that it said: Now that you've taken over Beauty's Office, I'm finally free. Besides, what don't you understand? Little Fan will help you answer it.
"Damn, just what is going on? Can anyone explain it to laozi? " Li Haotian slammed the table and shouted.
"What is there to not understand? You can ask me. "
Suddenly, a voice rang out. Li Haotian looked towards the door. A cold and elegant face appeared at the door. Her skin was excessively white, but it didn't have the appearance of someone who was half-dead or dispirited. On the contrary, a pair of deep black eyes hidden behind a pair of glasses shot out an incomparably sharp light. Her long black hair cascaded down her towering chest. That set of black professional clothes made her feel even more unfeeling.
Li Haotian's first reaction was that this woman was most likely the Little Fan mentioned in the note. Moreover, from this woman's eyes and appearance, she must be a difficult person to get along with.
"Then can I trouble you to explain the current situation?"
"My name is Dong Yifan. The previous owner always called me Xiaofan. You can call me that too." Dong Yifan said as he pushed on his glasses.
"Only introduce yourself? What I want to know is, what exactly is going on with this black shop? Why did your boss suddenly let me take over this shop and run away on my own? " Li Haotian was getting impatient.
"Our store is called Beauty's Office, and it helps women solve their troubles, so we can get paid for it. When the former boss first took over, he was full of enthusiasm, but after twenty years of work, he was already tired of it. Yesterday, when you were in a daze, he helped you to press your fingerprint on the contract. If you take over, of course he'll be happy to run away. Last night, he had brought along a few of his sweethearts and taken away all the deposits before running away. Now that the store is in your hands, I'll still be your assistant. " An almost imperceptible gloating expression appeared on Dong Yifan's face.
"Are you kidding? I saw your boss in a daze yesterday. He's obviously a young man in his twenties." Li Haotian looked at her with a puzzled expression.
Dong Yifan replied with a cold snort, "You really didn't read the contents of the contract. Back then, when the former boss took over this place, he was also confused."
"What exactly is written on the contract? Show it to me. " Li Haotian stretched out his hand.
"Sorry, the contract is with the former boss. However, I can tell you the content of the contract. Basically, the meaning is, if you agree to take over this beautiful company, you will not go back on your word.
Li Haotian burst into laughter, then said: "What a joke, laozi's freedom, laozi will decide for myself, a contract is nothing, laozi won't follow it, what can laozi do to me?"
Dong Yifan explained in a serious tone, "The contract also states that you have been in charge of the firm for twenty years. During those twenty years, you have been able to retain your youth. However, if you defaulted, you would have to use twenty years of your lifespan in exchange. The contract has been in effect since you pressed your fingerprint. "
Li Haotian shook his head and smiled at Dong Yifan.
"I say, Little Fan, you might not know what I do, but this joke of yours isn't funny in front of me. On the contrary, it's very childish."
"You're an assassin. When I chose you as my new boss, I already investigated you."
"Even if I did, do you think I would believe your nonsense?"
"As long as you don't complete the task, you'll be 20 years older. If you don't believe me, you can try." After Dong Yifan finished speaking, he walked out of the bedroom.
Li Haotian weighed the pros and cons a bit. If he was really 20 years old because of breaking the contract, then he would become a 43 year old uncle. Would he have the courage to take this risk? If he had been sober, he would not have printed his finger on the fucked-up contract.
"Halt!" Li Haotian followed Dong Yifan out of the bedroom. He took out the only remaining throwing knife from his waist and placed it against her throat. If you dare to lie to me, I will stab you in the throat. "
"I didn't lie a single time. I also signed a contract. Like you, I am a deceived person. I've only been on the contract for two years. I still have eighteen years, and I'm going to stay on the deal. I don't want to be an old woman all at once. If you don't believe me, you can leave. " Dong Yifan slowly pressed down on the throwing knife in his hand. I'm sorry, I still have things to take care of. Please step aside. "
Unexpectedly, Dong Yifan didn't show any signs of fear. He walked around Li Haotian and entered the office.
Li Haotian walked back to his bedroom and sat on his bed to think. The life and death of others had always been in his hands. But now, facing the choice of living for twenty years, he also began to hesitate. In this world, there was no one who didn't care about life. 20 years of youth was too important to a person with only a few decades of life. No one could afford to lose it.
On the other hand, changing one's identity and occupation might be a good choice. At the very least, this so-called "Beauty Firm" did not need to risk their lives for this.
At noon, Dong Yifan was working at a computer table. Li Haotian walked over and said, "I'm hungry. Hurry and prepare something for me to eat."
Dong Yifan looked back at him and replied with a sneer, "Give me the money, I'll go order dinner."
Li Haotian was surprised for a moment, then sneered: "Don't tell me that I not only want to take over this firm, but also want to take over the finances?"
Dong Yifan continued to work while saying, "Didn't I tell you? The former boss took all of the company's deposits, so before we receive any new compensation, of course you, the new boss, will be responsible for the finances."
"What a f * cking cheat!" Li Haotian slapped the table as his eyes widened to the size of a copper bell.
Twenty minutes later, Li Haotian and Dong Yifan appeared at the self-service bank.
Li Haotian took out his bank card and checked his balance. The original balance of 8 million was now only left with a few dozen pieces.
There was no need to think too much about it. His contact, Cheng Yueming, must have taken the money away. He gritted his teeth in frustration. For so many years, he had trusted that woman so much that he had even thought of going with her one day after she had washed her hands of him. But she had not only nearly killed him, she had robbed him of all his money. He had fought with his life on the line for that money! After losing both money and money, the woman disappeared from the face of the earth, and the phone number became empty. As for his residence, there was no need to talk about it. Just like him, the other party was also a person with no fixed residence.
Dong Yifan, who was standing behind him and also saw the balance, shook his head and sighed, "You're really poor. You've been in this business for so long, don't you have any savings?"
"I've been tricked by a woman!" Li Haotian took out his bank card and clenched his fist until it made a "ge ge ge" sound. At this moment, he felt even more deeply what it meant to be born from love and hate.
After a minute of silence, Dong Yifan followed suit. The man's back was so broad, his arms and fists were full of explosive power. But what was his mental state right now? Are there limits to how much grief a strong man can experience?
She wouldn't peep into Li Haotian's heart, just like how she wouldn't allow others to peek into her heart.
"Forget it, let's use my money first!" Dong Yifan took out his bank card and took out several thousand yuan. Li Haotian looked at her balance and saw that she actually had several tens of thousands of yuan in savings.
"Can you lend me some money first?" Li Haotian asked from beside her.
"This is my own money. It has nothing to do with the firm. If you want money, you can earn it. If you use my money now, you must return it to me later. " Dong Yifan rolled his eyes.
"I'm your boss now. You have to learn to respect me." Li Haotian chased after Dong Yifan.
