Chapter 396: Chapter 394: Heard Someone Wants to Kill Me?
Qin Hao glanced at Xiao Jintian’s screen, then curled his lips disdainfully and said, “Alright, I’m watching.”
After Xiao Jintian finished speaking, he immediately posted on Black Rose, offering a bounty of one billion USD for Qin Hao’s life.
As soon as the post was published, it instantly exploded on the entire forum!
One billion USD is an amount of immense wealth that could drive all assassins in the world insane. And Xiao Jintian’s identity on this Black Rose Forum had long been verified as the highest-level Platinum Employer.
A bounty issuance from a Platinum Employer, especially for a billion USD, instantly amassed hundreds of replies under the post.
“Fourth on the Human List, Gale Points to the Forest Bandits! I’m taking this mission.”
“Hahaha, just a member of the Human List daring to take on a Platinum Employer’s mission, truly laughable. I’m ranked thirteenth on the Earth List, let me handle this mission instead.”
“Offer tea to the above master, Earth List assassin, mighty.”
“Number one on the Earth List is here, fall back for this mission.”
In an instant, top experts from both the Human List and Earth List collectively took action, all posting replies, eager to take on this mission. The look of satisfaction on Xiao Jintian’s face grew even stronger. He waved his phone at Qin Hao and then said, “See? Your life is worth this much money, even if you die, it’s worth it.”
Qin Hao watched his performance with an amused expression, and soon, experts from the Celestial List began appearing in the post.
“Sixteenth on the Celestial List, taking it.”
“Seventh on the Celestial List, taking it.”
“Night Owl, taking it.”
As soon as the words Night Owl appeared, the post instantly blew up!
Night Owl, a mysterious existence ranked second on the Assassin List, rumored to have faced off with that Night Emperor!
“Even Night Owl is interested; we can only watch with these billions.”
“Tsk tsk, it’s said Night Owl once exchanged three moves with Night Emperor, and came out unscathed. It’s truly unexpected that someone of his level would be tempted by a billion USD.”
“What’s so unexpected? After all, it’s a billion USD. Think about it, with that much money, you could buy an island in the Pacific and build a country to be an Emperor!”
Xiao Jintian didn’t expect that even Night Owl would be tempted by the lure of a billion USD, and the other Celestial List assassins all fell silent. Even if they were tempted by this mission, with Night Owl involved, they could only yield.
“Qin Hao, the second-ranked Night Owl from the Celestial List is coming to take your life!”
He waved his phone excitedly in front of Qin Hao and said. But Qin Hao’s smile only deepened, and he glanced at Xiao Jintian, then pulled out his phone and logged into the Black Rose website as well.
The moment Qin Hao logged in, an alert went off in the Black Rose Forum’s backend. The administrator on duty instantly perked up, keeping an eye on Night Emperor’s movements.
After logging in, Qin Hao simply replied with two sentences at the end of that post.
“I, Night Emperor.”
“Heard someone wants to kill me?”
As soon as this reply was posted, the entire thread fell into silence.
Night Emperor!
Could it be that the person whom this billion USD bounty sought to kill was actually the Night Emperor?
Oh my God, who’s playing with their life like this?
This sum of money can’t be earned alive, nor spent alive!
The post, originally pinned to the top, was suddenly devoid of any replies for half a day, its lively discussion falling silent due to Night Emperor’s appearance.
The Night Emperor’s account was specifically authenticated by the Rose Forum’s backend, and that black crown symbol behind this ID was well-known throughout the forum.
As soon as Qin Hao finished speaking, the Human List assassins who had just replied were nearly scared to death, and the Earth List assassins were terrified, while Night Owl, who just received a ticket from his subordinate, yelled at the screen before decisively tearing the ticket apart.
Rumor had it outside that he and Night Emperor exchanged three moves, but in reality, it was Night Emperor who, with a single move, had him seriously injured and coughing up blood, barely leaving him with a life.
The administrator in the backend rubbed his eyes hard, confirmed it was indeed Night Emperor himself, then deleted the post and removed Xiao Jintian’s information from the Platinum Employer list.
Xiao Jintian’s phone dinged, presenting a prompt on the webpage.
“Your account has been permanently banned, please choose another place to court death, thank you.”
Xiao Jintian stared at the webpage prompt, utterly dumbfounded. He quickly refreshed it several times, but even his IP was blocked, making it impossible to enter the Black Rose Forum again.
Qin Hao laughed mockingly as he watched Xiao Jintian fiddling desperately with his phone.
“So, when are the Celestial List assassins you hired going to take action? Tsk tsk, a billion USD is such a huge amount of money, it really scared me to death, hahaha!”
Xiao Jintian’s face darkened; he threw away his phone and was about to speak to Qin Hao when Qin Hao directly stood up and said to him, “Alright, my patience has run out.”
“I have to admit, Xiao Jintian, your acting is so clumsy I have no interest in appreciating it. It proves that you have no capital to act recklessly in my presence. So, blood will have to be paid with blood!”
After Qin Hao finished speaking, Xiao Jintian’s face suddenly broke into a smile.
He snapped his fingers lightly, and Qin Hao heard the sound of glass shattering as a group of fully armed men burst through the windows and surrounded Qin Hao, protecting Xiao Jintian tightly.
“Qin Hao, you’re too naïve. To think you’d be foolish enough to give me time to prepare!”
“Do you know why I’ve been talking so much with you? I’ll tell you, from the moment you came in, I secretly pressed the alarm, and these people were long prepared by me.”
He looked at Qin Hao with cold, sharp eyes, thinking Qin Hao was hopelessly foolish.
But Qin Hao merely smiled slightly, then slowly extended his hand and lightly snapped his fingers.
Biu! Biu!
Two muffled silenced gunshots sounded instantly. Two people close to Qin Hao were shot dead on the spot. The remaining people shouted loudly!
“There’s a sniper, find cover!”
However, as soon as they moved, the subtle gunshots echoed like the Death God’s scythe, and in a matter of just a few seconds, this group of people was all shot dead.
And all this was something Qin Hao had arranged long ago. He had Fang Zhenwu bring a sniper rifle to the Provincial Government beforehand as part of all these plans. And now, they finally came into use.
In just a brief moment, from breaking through the windows to becoming corpses lying everywhere on the ground, it happened so quickly that Xiao Jintian’s mind had not even completely processed it.
