Chapter Eighteen: Revenge Pursuit

  "Then who is the target of assassination..." Yueyang furrowed his brow.

  "If the target is a mercenary, how would you choose?" The old man in linen asked with a slight pause.

  "I choose a blank sheet of paper!" Yuyang couldn't help but laugh at this. This kind of question isn't testing one's skills, but rather one's wisdom, right? Could he really be stumped by this?

  "How can you kill someone with just a piece of paper?" The old man's eyebrows furrowed.

  "It's simple, I'll disguise it as a treasure map and send it to the target. Then, I'll use big-character posters to spread the word that he has a treasure map. This mercenary won't even need me to kill him, countless people will rush to take him down!" Yuyang replied nonchalantly, shrugging his shoulders.

  "What if the target is a merchant instead of a mercenary? How would you choose then?" The old man nodded slowly and changed the subject.

  "Choose a blank sheet of paper... I'll disguise it as an accounting error and strike when the target merchant is fully focused on calculating his property income, taking him down." Yuyang replied. After hearing this, the old man in hemp clothing's withered, thin, and weakly trembling hands suddenly stopped shaking, asking: "What if the target is a government official? Would you still choose a blank sheet of paper as your murder weapon?"

  "Why not? I'll disguise it as the emperor's edict, and after the officials kneel down to welcome it, I'll reward him with a cup of poisonous wine." Yueshang had watched too many TV movies, no matter how powerful the honest official or famous general was, they couldn't withstand the emperor's edict, nor could they withstand a cup of poisonous wine that pierced their intestines.

  When you want me to die, I have no choice but to die.

  This sentence is always correct from ancient times to the present, no matter where it is placed.

  Not to mention the feudal era, even in this Dragon Continent, it is also a famous saying.

  Ma Yi's old man raised his eyelids, and his dull eyes showed a hint of surprise. He looked at Yue Yang for two or three seconds, and his expression changed in that instant, but he quickly recovered and nodded woodenly, affirming the crosser's shameless murder plot.

  Yue Yang felt a slight joy in his heart, thinking that he could get the killer qualification now.

  Unexpectedly, the old man continued to ask: "If your target is a woman, how would you choose?"

  As soon as he heard the word "woman", Yueyang's classmate had a sudden surge of lust and his mind began to wander: "It depends on whether she is young or not, beautiful or not. If she is both young and beautiful, then I would still choose a blank sheet of paper..."

  "This time, what will you disguise it as?" asked Old Man Mai.

  "No, not pretending, I will genuinely write a love letter on that blank paper, but if she doesn't agree, then I'll kill her and complete the task!" Yuyang said with a hint of regret. The old man in hemp clothes proposed a hypothesis: "What if she agrees?" Yuyang listened and suddenly became delighted: "If she agrees to my love letter, why would I still kill her? I'll directly take her home as my concubine!"

  "...". The old man Ma Yī was speechless for a moment.

  Although he has lived for many years, he has never seen such a shameless guy like Yue Yang!

  The thick-skinned classmate from Yueyang didn't feel anything at all, and his face even had a complacent expression, making people want to punch him as soon as they saw it.

  The old man in a daze for a moment, slowly opened his mouth and said: "The last question, if you accept the task and find that the target is your loved one, what will you do?"

  Yue Yang listened, his smile unchanged on his face, but a cold glint flashed in the depths of his eyes: "In my heart, there are only two kinds of people in the world, one is the living and the other is the dead. My loved ones belong to the former, no matter who wants to harm my loved ones, I will make him become the latter..."

  Ma Yī's old man raised his eyelids and looked at Yueyang, with a strange smile in his eyes: "A killer with emotions, love, and weaknesses in his heart is not a good killer."

  "For me, whether I'm a good killer or not isn't important, as long as I can be a living killer!" Yueyang raised an eyebrow, his expression turning serious: "I've heard these few sentences before: Love and hate can both bring out unimaginable power in people; Weakness is like a double-edged sword, it can be fatal, but also make one stronger!"

  ...... After listening to Yueyang's words, Old Man Ma Yi remained silent for a long time.

  The Assassin's Guild came out, and Yueyang classmate not only got the recognition of the assassin qualification, but also got a free 'Revenge Pursuit' blood flower map.

  This Blood Flower Map can be infused into a Summoning Tome, providing intel on 'Revenge Pursuit' at any time.

  Even without the treasure map, the owner can unfold it once a day. As long as at night, they can see the target being chased by revenge and turn into red dots floating everywhere on the map.

  If a target is selected, the red dot on the map will expand and a bloody dagger will appear, accurately pinpointing the location of the target.

  As for those who are pursued and retaliated against, they are generally malicious murderers.

  When a martial artist maliciously kills someone, if the person who was killed before their death uses the "Revenge Scroll", they will be remembered in appearance and name, and appear on the Assassin's Guild's Revenge List or Blood Flower Map. Alternatively, it can also be the victim's relatives who go to the Assassin's Guild and use a bounty to pursue revenge against the killer. The deadline for revenge is generally half a year. If the killer is successfully avenged or the victim's family no longer pursues the matter, the killer's red name will disappear from the Revenge List and Blood Flower Map.

  Yue Yang didn't have a passionate heart for benefiting the people, he just wanted to get this extremely useful free map.

  Moreover, malicious murderers generally have a good physique, if used to make flower fertilizer for cultivating thorny flowers, it would be the most suitable choice.

  After obtaining the Blood Flower Map, transmigrator Yue Yang began his first revenge pursuit. He targeted a guy nicknamed 'Rock'. Although he didn't know what kind of evil deeds this guy had done, Yue Yang discovered that at least eight families were jointly pursuing him with a reward of five gold coins.

  The bounty isn't much, but it's not little either. Five gold coins is the price for killing a mutated lightning leopard at the Mercenary Guild.

  If converted into RMB, it is equivalent to 500,000 yuan.

  According to the black market price in the country, cutting off a hand costs 2,000, chopping off a leg costs 5,000, and killing someone costs 35,000. Of course, on the Dragon Continent, this price is only the minimum amount for revenge pursuit. The highest bounty on the revenge list can be as high as thousands of gold. However, Yue Yang cannot accept such high-priced bounties yet. He is still just an entry-level killer with no reputation and no experience.

  Yueyang classmate, with the mentality that even a mosquito's leg is meat, five gold coins are not too few. After all, killing monsters and leveling up always start with small monsters, who would go kill the big BOSS at the beginning? Isn't that seeking death?

  The rock being pursued for revenge did not hide, he walked freely on the street, pouring yellow wine into his mouth.

  If it were someone else, they might be afraid of the killer coming back for revenge.

  But a mercenary like him, with a powerful backer and some strength of his own, ordinary hitmen are not willing to provoke him for just five gold coins. So he has always lived quite comfortably. Didn't he just betray his friends and kill several companions? What's the big deal? In front of money, who wouldn't do this?! When I have time, I'll go and rape those guys' widows again, and then slaughter their children, see who dares to avenge themselves...

  The rock was very pleased with itself, and he, who had already drunk a few cups of wine, felt that he had found the feeling of being strong.

  The strong can do as they wish, can't they?

  Just as Rocky was laughing triumphantly, he suddenly found a masked little thief standing in the deserted street, with eyes shining like stars and a voice as clear as a stream flowing over rocks: "You are Rocky, the one on the revenge list?"
