Bang!

After Fang Zhiruo ran into the box, a gunshot immediately rang out from inside.

Hearing the shot, Luo Chao felt a jolt in his heart, and after stopping the bleeding for Sun Bowen's bodyguards, he also rushed into the box.

When Luo Chao arrived inside, he saw Sun Bowen lying on the sofa, clutching his lower body and groaning in pain.

Fang Zhiruo, on the other hand, stood in place, trembling, holding a gun with both hands, not daring to breathe heavily.

The muzzle of her gun was still smoking, suggesting that it was indeed her who fired that shot earlier.

"Officer Fang, where's Silver Fox?" Luo Chao asked.

"Are you looking for me?" Suddenly, a somewhat sharp voice came from behind Fang Zhiruo.

At the same time, a young man, only about 1.6 meters tall with silver hair and a somewhat darkened forehead, stepped out from behind her.

In his hand, he held a blood-stained dagger, its tip pressed against Fang Zhiruo's waist.

"Let her go," Luo Chao said in a low voice.

"You let me go, and I'll let her go," Silver Fox seemed to know he was no match for Luo Chao and offered to trade Zhiruo for his freedom.

"Luo Chao, don't let him go," Fang Zhiruo quickly spoke, fearing Luo Chao might release Silver Fox.

Luo Chao gestured for her to stay silent, "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."

Seeing the confidence in Luo Chao's eyes, Fang Zhiruo unconsciously nodded, suddenly feeling that there was nothing in this world Luo Chao couldn't solve.

"You are in no position to negotiate with me. There's only one exit here. If you surrender now and answer my questions, I might consider sparing you. But if you hurt her, I guarantee you'll die painfully," Luo Chao glared at Silver Fox, seeming ready to pronounce his death sentence at any moment.

Silver Fox pondered for a while and said, "What do you want to ask?"

"Who's your employer?" Luo Chao asked concisely.

"I don't know. Even if I did, I wouldn't tell you," Silver Fox shook his head. "It's the rule of our Black Hole Organization that if I reveal this, I'll face a punishment worse than death."

Luo Chao was about to speak when Sun Bowen, recognizing him, despite the pain in his lower body, spoke in a halting voice, "Luo... Luo Bro, don't waste words with him, kill... kill him."

Luo Chao glanced at Sun Bowen's lower body and then at Fang Zhiruo's gun and the blood on Silver Fox's dagger, roughly guessing what had happened in the box earlier.

It seemed Silver Fox was about to finish off Sun Bowen when Fang Zhiruo rushed in and fired, causing the dagger to miss his vital organs but injuring his lower body.

Thinking of this, Luo Chao kept his eyes fixed on the dagger in Silver Fox's hand, afraid he might make another move and injure Fang Zhiruo, while he said to Sun Bowen, "Young Master Sun, do you know how much money this guy could earn by killing you? In other words, do you know how much your life is worth?"

"How much money?" Sun Bowen asked, intrigued.

"Two and a half million US dollars." Luo Chao tossed his phone to Sun Bowen, "Don't believe me? See for yourself."

Sun Bowen picked up Luo Chao's phone, his face instantly turned furious, and even the bleeding seemed to increase.

"Fuck, I'm the eldest son of the Sun Clan, with a family fortune worth at least tens of billions of Huaxia Coins, and you, this poor bastard Silver Fox, are willing to kill me for just 250 thousand US dollars?" Sun Bowen yelled at Silver Fox.

Silver Fox felt a bit embarrassed, "Bro, that's just the market price; your Sun Family has other heirs! You might not be the Patriarch in the future, so the price is lower."

"Damn your low price!" Sun Bowen picked up an ashtray from the coffee table and threw it at Silver Fox. "Luo Bro, kill him for me, I'll pay you double!"

"No, that's too low," Luo Chao shook his head, "Make it ten times; he's an Ancient Martial Arts expert."

"Ten times... that's too much, how about three times?" Sun Bowen said, face twisted in discomfort.

Luo Chao continued to shake his head, "Eight times!"

"Four times," Sun Bowen held up four fingers, "I haven't had much money lately either, with Chef Boris gone back to France, the hotel failed the seven-star rating, and business is bad."

"Alright, four times it is," Luo Chao finally nodded.

The bargaining between Luo Chao and Sun Bowen seemed to thoroughly infuriate Silver Fox.

The two were blatantly discussing the price for his head, making Silver Fox feel like a live chicken at a market, ready to be slaughtered at any moment.

Silver Fox decided then to kill Fang Zhiruo first and then fight Luo Chao, hoping to find a chance to escape.

However, just as Silver Fox harbored killing intent, Luo Chao instantly sensed it.

At the same time, Silver Fox gathered his Inner Strength, gripped the dagger firmly, and viciously aimed it at Fang Zhiruo's spinal column!

Swoosh!

A swoosh cutting through the air was heard, and a black shadow darted in front of Silver Fox.

When Silver Fox realized what happened, he found that Fang Zhiruo was already in Luo Chao's arms.

Suddenly, Silver Fox felt a chill on his wrist and looked down, only to find that the hand which had held the dagger was now just a bare wrist!

His hand had been severed!

"You looking for this?" Luo Chao tossed Silver Fox's bloody severed hand onto the ground.

The severed hand, though bloodless, still gripped a dagger tightly.

Last time, Luo Chao discovered that Silver Fox's grip was extremely strong, and disarming him swiftly was nearly impossible.

So this time, Luo Chao had simply sliced off Silver Fox's hand.

"Who... who the hell are you? You managed to cut off my right hand without me noticing! Your strength is definitely beyond the later stages of the Yellow Level!" Silver Fox said, a look of terror on his face.

As a mid-Yellow Level Ancient Martial Arts expert, Silver Fox specialized in wrist strength and hand speed.

He could kill with daggers as easily as taking something out of his pocket, yet in front of Luo Chao, he felt as fragile as a baby who was just learning to walk!

"Me? I'm just a bodyguard," Luo Chao replied calmly.

"A bodyguard? Someone as skilled as you playing bodyguard? You're kidding me!" Even Silver Fox, well-versed in the world, found it hard to believe when Luo Chao claimed to be just a bodyguard.

Silver Fox tried to stop the bleeding on his wrist, but it was in vain, the blood continued to gush like it was free.

He knew, at this rate, he wouldn't last much longer before dying from blood loss.

Luo Chao looked at Silver Fox's profusely bleeding wrist and suddenly said, "Silver Fox, I have three final questions. If you answer them satisfactorily, I'll help stop the bleeding. If not, you'll have to fend for yourself."

"Ask," Silver Fox stared at Luo Chao intently, unwilling to give up any chance at survival.

Though afraid of the Black Hole Organization's punishment, Silver Fox still preferred to stay alive, which was why he became an assassin for money.

"First question, who is your employer?" Luo Chao asked.

"I really don't know. You can log into my Black Hole Organization account if you don't believe me." With that, Silver Fox tossed a black card to Luo Chao.

Luo Chao took the card and looked at it, "I suppose I'll trust you this once."

"Then the second question, were you also behind the previous killings of those rich kids?"

"No," Silver Fox shook his head.

Luo Chao had expected this answer from Silver Fox.

Like the Death Steel Wire that killed Wu Yunfei, it couldn't have been set by Silver Fox.

If Silver Fox wanted to kill Wu Yunfei, he would have used daggers, with no need to set up a Life-taking Steel Wire.

"Then the third question, what did I have for breakfast this morning?"

"What did you say?" Silver Fox widened his eyes in shock. He asked again, afraid he'd misheard.

Luo Chao smiled slightly, repeating word by word, "I asked, what did I have for breakfast this morning?"
