C273 After Completing the Mission He Obtains the Hua Xing Building
"Ah?"
The assassin was momentarily taken aback.
Panic spread across his face as he blurted out, "Boss, I've spilled everything. Look, if you're after compensation, I can pay you. I've got ten million... no, make that fifty million! That's all I have to my name!"
"There's no need to be so tense," Lin Dong said with a light chuckle. "I'm not interested in your fifty million. I just need you to do me a favor."
"Do a favor?"
The assassin was perplexed again.
It hadn't occurred to him that Lin Dong would simply ask a favor and then let him go. Could it really be that easy?
But he was quick to respond, nodding eagerly, "Big Brother, just say the word. If it's within my power, I won't let you down!"
Lin Dong fixed his gaze on the killer and stated, "I want you to return to Xia Wenfeng's side and act as my informant."
"This..."
The assassin's anxiety flared up again.
He stammered, "It's not that I'm unwilling, but Xia Wenfeng has significant connections. She won't trust me if I just show up again!"
"I have faith in you. You'll find a way to earn her trust," Lin Dong assured him with a smile. "But if you fail, I might get upset, and you wouldn't want to see me upset. The consequences could be quite severe."
His voice remained even, but the underlying threat sent a shiver through the assassin. Recalling the near-suffocating fear he had just experienced, he shuddered and said through clenched teeth, "Understood, Boss. I'll make sure the job gets done!"
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing the random mission. You have been awarded the Huaxing Building, valued at two billion!"
The sound of the system notification echoed in Lin Dong's mind.
He hadn't expected such a generous reward from the system—a whole building!
This was indeed a major windfall.
With his assets now totaling nearly eight billion, he was among the elite in Jiangyang, a first-tier magnate by any standard.
Yet, even with his wealth, he was still a far cry from the Lin Family, the city's wealthiest and a renowned tycoon family nationwide.
But Lin Dong was unfazed.
With the Wealth System at his disposal, he was confident that surpassing the Lin Family in the future would be no challenge at all.
He had no real interest in the so-called inheritance.
Yet, after being provoked by the Lin Family on several occasions, Lin Dong's irritation had grown. Despite his lack of interest, he was now determined to stake his claim!
The Lin Family feared their assets falling into the hands of an outsider like him.
He was set on acquiring it, if only to infuriate those who looked down on him. Let them seethe with anger!
In the blink of an eye, only a second or two had passed.
Lin Dong addressed the assassin, "There you go. By the way, can you fix your arm? I might have used too much force and dislocated your joint. Sorry about that."
(It was clearly intentional!)
The assassin seethed internally.
Yet, he didn't dare voice his thoughts, managing instead a strained smile. "Yes, I can handle it. No need to worry, Big Brother."
After saying this, he cradled his broken arm and yanked it sharply. Accompanied by a crack, the arm was back in place, and a sheen of cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
"Dong, are you in there?"
Lee Tao's voice rang out suddenly.
Startled, Lin Dong responded, "What is it?"
"Oh, nothing major. Everyone's just waiting to toast to you. Brother Bashan sent me to check on you," Lee Tao explained.
"Okay, I'll be right out," Lin Dong replied.
He glanced at the assassin.
Quickly, the assassin fixed his wig and touched up his makeup in the mirror.
With the scarf in place, he once again looked like a presentable waitress.
However, his collar was damp, a remnant of the earlier scuffle.
"I'll head out first. You follow in a bit," Lin Dong instructed before stepping out the door.
Lee Tao welcomed him with a warm smile.
As Lin Dong approached the restroom entrance, he inadvertently caught sight of the waitress adjusting her hair, and noticed the damp marks on her clothing.
