Second update,

…

"What? Fang Feixue was smashed by someone?"

Qin Fang learned of this news right after he had just settled down in the Jincheng Military Region. The call was made personally by Tang Cheng, and after Tang Feifei confirmed that Qin Fang was still alive, she immediately phoned to inform Tang Cheng and others.

However, Tang Feifei was not aware of the incident with Fang Feixue being vandalized; Tang Cheng and the others had been keeping it from her all along, given Tang Feifei's state was already quite odd at the time.

"Li Rui…"

When Qin Fang found out that his hard-earned Fang Feixue had been trashed by a bunch of hooligans, and even his disciples had been injured while protecting Fang Feixue, a strong murderous aura immediately erupted from him.

As Qin Fang's murderous intent emerged, the strength of Qin Shouxiong, who followed closely by his side, became even more intimidating, with a fierce light bursting from his eyes and an imposing aura around him.

Of course, the strength of a Level 5 Peak Expert is not to be taken lightly, especially when he possesses the sharp attacking Great Strength Eagle Claw Technique, and the incredible defensive Thirteen Taibao Horizontal Training Golden Bell Shield. Such a formidable person, unless facing a gun, would be an invincible force.

Killing someone?

That was as easy as playing a game!

Especially since Qin Shouxiong regarded Qin Fang as his only kin. Aside from Qin Fang, he maintained a considerable alertness towards anyone else, even Chu Yunxuan, who was unusually affectionate with Qin Fang, was no exception.

As for Qin Fang's bodyguard, Shen Liang...

Let's not talk about him for now, he had just gone to the hospital to get his arm fixed when he was immediately disarmed by Qin Shouxiong with a Great Strength Eagle Claw, rendering his special forces' killing skills unusable, which would be a joke even if he had managed to use them against Qin Shouxiong.

Qin Fang had quite a few enemies, but only a few had the capacity to stir up such trouble. Thinking with his gut, it had to be one of just a few, if not Ninghai Underground's overlord Li Rui, then Chen Weilian from Hanhai Group.

However, when Qin Fang left Ninghai, he heard that Chen Weilian had been severely dealt with by Li Rui over the Fan Ning incident and probably didn't dare provoke Qin Fang and Li Rui into confrontation for the time being.

So, thinking it over, the only one capable of pulling off such a thing had to be Li Rui.

It's just that Li Rui hadn't used his own trusted subordinates but found some scapegoats instead, so even Qin Fang's brothers and good friends like Tang Cheng and Ning Weiqiang couldn't trouble him.

"It's really true that when the cat's away, the mice will play!"

Thinking of Li Rui's influence in Ninghai made Qin Fang's heart surge with a strong feeling of animosity.

Killing him with a bullet!

That was indeed a good idea that would solve everything at once.

Setting aside whether he could succeed, just taking out Li Rui meant that Qin Fang would have to face the Li Family's fierce retaliation, and even possibly them spending a fortune to hire assassins to take him out.

Ordinary assassins Qin Fang could disregard. After all, he himself was quite formidable, not to mention he was protected by experts like Shen Liang and Qin Shouxiong.

But if it came to an assassin from the Assassin's Alliance, then Qin Fang would be in considerable trouble.

He was burdened with the epic mission of the King of Assassins—to defeat all registered assassins of the Assassin's Alliance to truly claim the throne—a necessary process indeed.

But it was a long-term mission. Currently, Qin Fang's power was relatively low in the ranks of the Assassin's Alliance; a mere One-Star Assassin like him stood no chance against the relentless assassination attempts by the many higher-ranked assassins of the Alliance...

Ordinary people's assassination tasks don't reach the assassin trading platform?

That is indeed true!

Tasks on the assassin trading platform are published through special channels, and ordinary people have no clue of the existence of the Assassin's Alliance.

But what was Li Rui's status? The underworld overlord of Ninghai, almost all the developed regions in the southern part of Jiangnan Province were under his shadowy control. How could he not have channels to post tasks to the Assassin's Alliance?

So, that was why Qin Fang was so cautious, not daring to directly make a move on Li Rui, or to put it another way... at least not yet!

"Brother Liang, how's everything going with Brother Da and the others?"

It wasn't that Qin Fang truly lacked any strength of his own. He had Shen Liang recruit a bunch of retired special forces operatives, whom he was now keeping highly paid and well-benefited—simply tasked with protecting the laboratory for the time being, without giving them any specific assignments yet.

Shen Liang was the overall in charge of these operatives. However, since he was often by Qin Fang's side, a man named Chen Da, who had previously been Shen Liang's instructor and was a rather impressive powerhouse belonging to the Level 5 Expert class, handled them.

Why is he considered a quasi-Level 5 Expert?

Chen Da had already been a Level 5 Expert, a Major of the Southwest Falcons, but during an encounter in the jungles of Vietnam, a stray bullet struck his arm, damaging a nerve, rendering his right hand powerless. He chose not to be a burden to his unit and voluntarily retired.

Qin Fang had recruited him through Shen Liang. His responsibilities did not involve direct action, but rather managing these former special forces soldiers, arranging training schedules, combat plans, and the like.

This man's personality was tough and iron-blooded. He trained the retired special forces hired by Qin Fang as if they were still in the military. His strength, prestige, and capabilities were truly impressive, which saved Qin Fang a great deal of worry.

With this small team of a dozen or so men at his disposal, and armed with weapons, there was no distinction from a regular army, and their combat effectiveness was absolutely top-notch.
