Chapter 154 Mysterious Black Card
"You are the King of the Underworld? Aren't you already...?" the assassin asked, trembling with fear.
He simply could not believe that his target was that legendary figure!
"Already dead, is that it?"
Su Chen's voice was chilling, devoid of any emotion, as he had already released the assassin's wrist by then.
"That's the rumor outside," the assassin cautiously answered.
Although he had regained his freedom, he had no intention of running away.
Perhaps he had harbored such a thought when he was caught, but upon learning the identity of his captor, he immediately discarded it.
Thinking of escaping in front of the King of the Underworld could only mean he was a fool!
Even though there were rumors that he had died or had been gravely injured, the assassin had heard too many tales about him!
Even an injured King of the Underworld was not someone he could provoke!
Moreover, at this moment, the King of the Underworld seemed perfectly fine!
"Hmph, if I do not wish to die, even heaven cannot take me!"
Su Chen coldly stated, emitting a powerful aura that instantly filled the air.
The people around immediately felt as if breathing had become difficult, and even the assassin felt as though he was being crushed by a mountain, unable to stand!
"Truly the King of the Underworld!"
The assassin thought to himself, looking at Su Chen with admiration in his eyes.
In fact, not just him, countless people in the Dark World regarded the King of the Underworld as their idol and motivation!
Hence, when news of the King's fall spread, it actually caused quite a disturbance in the Dark World!n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
"Your Highness the King of the Underworld, today I have offended you. Although I was unaware of your identity, I also know that I have committed a capital offense!"
The assassin said solemnly,
"I beg your Highness, grant me the opportunity to end my own life!"
Su Chen glanced at him, then nodded slightly.
He did not inquire about the mastermind behind the assassin, as he knew that even if he asked, the other party would not reveal it.
Maintaining confidentiality for their employer is the lifelong creed of an assassin, especially so for top-tier assassins!
Although Su Chen had ways to make him talk, those methods were too cruel, and Su Chen did not wish to resort to them at that moment.
"Thank you!"
The assassin said gratefully, then took a dagger and cut his own throat without a moment's hesitation!
He knew this was the best outcome, not only sparing himself from suffering but also protecting his family!
When blood sprayed out of the assassin's throat, everyone at the scene was completely dumbfounded!
The events had unfolded too quickly, so quickly that the people barely had time to react!
At that moment, all were wondering, who exactly is this man?
He was not only skilled, but he also killed a man without blinking an eye!
What's more crucial is, he could decide life and death with just a word!
The assassin, merely knowing he was the King of the Underworld, had not hesitated to kill himself!
Such a terrifying deterrent power!
Although they did not fully understand what being the King of the Underworld entailed!
Everyone who looked at Su Chen did so with fear and awe in their eyes!
Just then, the door suddenly echoed with a rustling of footsteps, orderly yet loud.
Director Jiang Lixing and a dozen police officers walked in, and upon seeing the two bodies on the ground, he immediately asked in a stern voice,
"What exactly happened here?"
It turned out that earlier, when Su Chen had killed the first person, someone had already stealthily called the police.
Seeing the arrival of the police, people felt a bit bolder, not so afraid anymore.
However, they did not leave; they wanted to see how this young man would explain the two lives taken!
Although they were all assassins, these were, after all, two human lives!
Jiang Lixing's cold gaze swept over the crowd, but when his eyes landed on Su Chen, his body shook violently. Then, under everyone's watchful eyes, he strode forward to Su Chen, gave a formal military salute, and shouted:
"Greetings, Commander!"
Everyone was once again deeply shocked!
Jiang Lixing actually called this young man Commander?
To think that he is the esteemed Chief!
Is there something wrong with my ears? Or is this world just absurd?
Isn't he just a mere driver?
How is he both the King of the Underworld and a Commander?
Who the hell can tell me what exactly is his identity?
At this point, his relationship with Tang Mingji became the least of everyone's concerns!
"Alright, leave this matter for you to handle," Su Chen instructed indifferently.
"Yes, rest assured, Commander!"
Jiang Lixing spoke out loud, but when he noticed his disciple and subordinate by Su Chen's side, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes!
Xu Xinran, seeing Jiang Lixing looking towards her, felt somewhat embarrassed, her cheeks blushing lightly.
"You all can leave now," Su Chen waved his hand to the people at the scene and then continued sternly, "Don't speak of today's events. Anyone who leaks this will be charged with espionage!"
"Yes, yes! Rest assured, we definitely won't talk nonsense!"
Chu Jian was quick to agree, and the others also nodded vigorously.
Even if they were foolish, they understood that this young man was an existence beyond their reach for a lifetime!
Today, the shock this young man had brought them was tremendous!
Su Chen knew that even if these people didn't talk about today, his identity could not be kept secret for long.
Shadow, that young girl, had already told him that the video of him rescuing people had been captured and uploaded online.
Su Chen believed that Tang Gang and the forces behind him had already seen the video. Perhaps it wouldn't be long before he could no longer enjoy his peaceful days.
Therefore, Su Chen silently decided that he must intensify his Cultivation. Otherwise, he wouldn't even be able to protect those around him.
His current strength was still too weak, not even half of what it had been at his peak! Enjoy exclusive chapters from empire
After Chu Jian and the others left, Su Chen gently took Xu Xinran's hand and whispered:
"Let's go too."
"Mm."
Xu Xinran somewhat hazily agreed, and then followed Su Chen out.
Even when passing by Jiang Lixing, she did not greet him because she was too embarrassed...
As Su Chen's BMW drove along the roads of Jianghai, Xu Xinran still felt dizzy, feeling that today's events didn't seem real!
"Who exactly are you?"
Sitting in the passenger seat, Xu Xinran gazed at Su Chen's distinct profile and thought to herself:
"Why did that person call you the 'King of the Underworld'?
Why did they commit suicide without hesitation upon finding out you were the 'King of the Underworld'?
What have you experienced in your past that has made you who you are today?"
What do you think?
