The general was as capable as befitting someone whom Jun Linyuan had taught himself. In less than five minutes, the torture made the shorty wish he was dead.
He gave Feng Wu everything she wanted to know.
“Someone found the Flying Guillotine and put a price on your head. The reward is as much as 100,000 top-grade spiritual stones!”
100,000? Top-grade spiritual stones?
Feng Wu rubbed his chin. “I didn’t know I’m that expensive.”
General Chang glanced at Feng Wu. “The Flying Guillotine always charges a lot. 100,000 is just slightly higher than the standard price.”
Feng Wu didn’t know what to say.
“These three are Spiritual Elders, and are Levels 7, 8, and 9 respectively.
“This is the second attack. I won’t be surprised if there’s a third wave. You better be prepared.”
Feng Wu asked, “There’s more?!”
General Chang nodded. “The mission is to kill you, but it’s failed. With these three dead, the Flying Guillotine will reevaluate you.
“They’ll reassess your threat level and value, so as to raise the price and give the job to Spiritual Lords, who charge more.”
“How many spiritual stones does a Spiritual Lord normally charge for a job?” Feng Wu frowned a little.
She was used to plotting against people all the time, not the other way round.
“You’re not important enough for a Spiritual Lord yet. They won’t take just any job, given how high their asking price is – it won’t just be double the amount.”
Feng Wu was relieved. “But a bunch of Spiritual Elders will be a lot to handle, too.”
Feng Wu secretly rejoiced, feeling lucky that she had snapped up General Chang. Otherwise, she didn’t know what could have happened tonight.
She could ask for Grand Secretary Fang’s help, but she couldn’t go to him all the time.
All of a sudden, Feng Wu’s eyes flickered.
“Did the Zuo family send them?” asked Feng Wu.
General Chang shook his head. “They’ll never reveal information on their clients, or no one will hire them again.”
Feng Wu smiled. Although she had no evidence, not everyone had 100,000 spare spiritual stones lying around.
Only someone who hated her to the core would be willing to pay such a huge amount.
The Zuo family was her instinctive guess. It had to be them and no one else.
Feng Wu smiled. “They can’t reveal their clients, but —”
She grinned at the shorty. “If other people can put a price on me, can I do it to them?”
General Chang glanced at Feng Wu, amazed by her quick reaction.
The short assassin smirked. “Once you’re on the list, you can’t turn it around, or it’ll disrupt order in the assassination circle.”
That made sense.
If one side put a price on their rival, and the other side did the same, there would be a price war, and things would get messy. The organization would gain profits in the short term, but its long term development would be hampered.
“Alright —” Feng Wu was able to pick up the implication immediately. “I can’t put a price on them, but someone else can, right?”
The shorty nodded, and couldn’t help but pity the people who had hired him.
This terrifying teenage girl wasn’t as harmless and weak as assessed by his organization.
Feng Wu didn’t know what Chang San did, but the tough assassin had just become very obedient.
Their organization was a very secretive one, and people couldn’t just walk into their stronghold. They would need directions.
