The other six assassination organizations could only pick scraps from Sakata Chong's unwanted business to survive.
This was why they were so enraged when Su Yang mentioned Sakata Chong.
Fortunately, Su Yang had investigated thoroughly before coming, otherwise, he might have walked right into a trap.
It was also fortunate that their relationships were already strained, which allowed Su Yang to win them over, at least for now.
It was only a matter of time before he fully secured their allegiance.
"Since Mr. Su knows our bad relationship with Sakata Chong, why did you bring him up in front of us?" Zuo Sheng inquired.
"I naturally had to confirm the intelligence," Su Yang replied.
After speaking, Su Yang took out a card from his pocket.
"What is this?" Zuo Sheng asked, looking at the bank card on the table with confusion.
"It's business, there must be a mutual exchange of benefits. I prefer a straightforward approach. I provide the money, you provide the effort. What do you say?"
As Su Yang spoke, he looked at the men. They understood what Su Yang meant but were still a bit puzzled.
After all, Su Yang hadn't even told them what he wanted them to do, yet he produced a bank card.
"Mr. Su, what kind of business do you want to conduct with us? You need to tell us first so we can decide whether to cooperate with you."
Zuo Sheng's statement was very skillful.
As expected of the eldest and most experienced among them, he asked Su Yang a question while also indicating that they might not necessarily cooperate with Su Yang, thus retaining the upper hand.
However, Su Yang was completely unfazed.
He knew the terms he was offering were something they couldn't possibly refuse.
"Hall Master Zuo, don't rush to conclusions. First, listen to how much money is in this card."
Upon hearing this, Zuo Sheng glanced at the golden bank card in front of Su Yang and asked, "How much?"
Su Yang gestured with his hand, forming the number six.
"Sixty million?" Zuo Sheng guessed.
Su Yang shook his head. "You might not know me, but I've always been generous. The deal I'm proposing with you six Hall Masters today is a big one."
Su Yang smiled, inviting them to guess how much money was in the card.
When they heard Su Yang's words, all six were astonished.
If it wasn't sixty million, it must be more.
After a long pause, they couldn't guess, or perhaps they were afraid to guess how much money was in the card.
Zuo Sheng looked at Su Yang and said, "Mr. Su, we can't guess. Perhaps you could..."
Su Yang chuckled, "Six hundred million."
"Six hundred million?!" Zuo Sheng exclaimed, "Is that in Sangguo currency?"
Even if it were Sangguo currency, six hundred million was not a small sum, which was why they were so surprised.
But Su Yang's money was not in Sangguo currency.
"It's Longguo currency, six hundred million. Each of you six assassination organizations will receive one hundred million. I wonder if this deal is considered a big one for you?"
Su Yang's statement stunned everyone present.
Sixty million would have already been considered a big deal for them. While assassination business was profitable, it didn't usually involve hundreds of millions.
These six men were somewhat taken aback by Su Yang.
Zuo Sheng, being the eldest, understood the peculiar situation. Despite his shock, he remained more composed than the other five.
"Mr. Su, is the six hundred million you mentioned real?"
Su Yang spread his hands. "This is your territory. You can verify if it's real or not. The password is six eights."
Hearing Su Yang's words, Zuo Sheng said, "Mr. Su, then I won't be polite."
Zuo Sheng signaled to his subordinate, who took the golden bank card from Su Yang.
Su Yang didn't seem to care whether they verified it or not.
"Mr. Su, setting aside whether the six hundred million is real or not, may I boldly ask what kind of big business it is that you are willing to pay such a high price for?"
Su Yang's lips curved slightly. "You don't know me. Six hundred million is truly nothing to me."
Su Yang smiled again. "It's also nothing to us Longguo people. Today's big deal is entirely beneficial to you, with no downsides."
"Oh?" Zuo Sheng showed curiosity. "Could Mr. Su elaborate?"
Due to cultural differences and language barriers, Su Yang spent nearly half an hour explaining the matter to them, leaving him parched.
"So, Mr. Su needs our help, and also Sakata Chong's help. However, because Sakata Chong previously attempted to assassinate Mr. Su, you are cooperating with us. After we eliminate Mr. Su's enemies, we will then deal with Sakata Chong..."
Zuo Sheng paused and looked at Su Yang.
Su Yang took a sip of water and nodded. "That's right. For you, isn't this entirely beneficial with no downsides?"
At that moment, the person Zuo Sheng had sent to verify the authenticity of the money in Su Yang's card returned.
He whispered something into Zuo Sheng's ear. Su Yang guessed it was true.
No need to guess, it must be true.
Su Yang wasn't so low-class as to deceive people with counterfeit money.
Looking at the men, Zuo Sheng's eyes lit up after hearing his subordinate's report.
Six hundred million, although only six small targets, was still a colossal sum to these unsophisticated Sangguo people.
Su Yang smiled faintly, then listened as Zuo Sheng spoke to the other five. The six men's gazes towards Su Yang changed instantly.
"Mr. Su, my subordinate informs me that there are indeed six hundred million Longguo currency in this card."
Zuo Sheng handed the bank card back to Su Yang.
Su Yang waved his hand. "Keep this card."
Hearing Su Yang's words, Zuo Sheng insisted on returning the card to Su Yang.
"Mr. Su, as I said before, we need to hear your plan first before we can tell you whether we will cooperate or not."
Su Yang seemed a bit confused and frowned. "A situation that is so mutually beneficial, and you don't want it?"
Zuo Sheng appeared somewhat troubled.
"We seven major assassination organizations had an agreement not to engage in mutual destruction... Mr. Su, your request, I'm afraid we..."
Su Yang truly couldn't understand.
"No... have you considered how Sakata Chong has treated you all these years, even though you are unwilling to engage in mutual destruction with him?"
