Chapter 1370: Chapter 1370
"Don’t you get tired of watching their every move across the street all day?"
Tang Ming looked at Shen Yan curiously.
"Does it have anything to do with you?"
Shen Yan spoke quite rudely.
Tang Ming’s mouth twitched slightly. Clearly, the surveillance was aimed at him, yet she claimed it had nothing to do with him. This woman was beyond unreasonable.
"If there’s something you need, just say it directly."
Shen Yan looked impatiently at Tang Ming, not knowing how to face him.
Putting on a shy demeanor seemed out of character;
But keeping a cold facade made her uneasy and nervous, which felt very uncomfortable to Shen Yan.
"Then I’ll get straight to it. Actually, I came to you for a favor."
Tang Ming cleared his throat and got right to the point.
"I knew you wouldn’t come without a reason."
Shen Yan smirked coldly, "Go ahead! Given that you saved me at the competition before, I’ll consider helping you."
"Thank you then. What exactly is your relationship with the Poison Widow?"
Tang Ming squinted, staring intently at Shen Yan.
"Why are you asking? You already know I’m the Poison Widow’s assassin, don’t you?"
Shen Yan furrowed her brows in confusion.
"I know you’re her assassin, but I want to know the nature of your relationship with the Poison Widow."
Tang Ming organized his words, looking earnestly at Shen Yan: "I need someone I can trust to help me with something. If your relationship with the Poison Widow is too close, I won’t feel at ease."
"Are you saying you trust me?"
Shen Yan’s expression became strange. She never expected Tang Ming to say such words to her.
"Of course! Although you often try to kill me, it seems you’ve saved me several times too."
Tang Ming smiled, sincerely looking at Shen Yan: "I’m not good with words, but it doesn’t mean I’m a fool. I can sense who’s sincere and who’s not."
"Cough, cough, don’t make it sound so cheesy. What exactly do you want me to do?"
Shen Yan’s cheeks flushed a little, adding: "I’m just a registered assassin of the Poison Widow, considered a free agent."
Tang Ming sighed in relief, solemnly looking at Shen Yan: "I want you to help me train an assassin organization. Would you be willing to help?"
Shen Yan looked at Tang Ming in surprise: "You want to establish an assassin organization?"
"Why do you have such an idea?"
Shen Yan looked blankly at Tang Ming: "You’re a Nine-star Martial Master now. Do you really need assassins?"
"I am indeed a Nine-star Martial Master now, and I have the Flowing Cloud Sect and the Poison Sect as my powers, but these forces are all in the open. If someone truly wants to deal with me, they will certainly take these into account."
Tang Ming sighed, squinting his eyes as he said: "I need a hidden force of my own, only then can I achieve surprise victories when facing enemies in the future."
"Can an assassin organization really help you achieve surprise victories?"
Shen Yan became skeptical, reminding him: "An assassin organization like the Poison Widow’s poses no threat to you at all. What’s the use of establishing one?"
"Ha, the Poison Widow is nothing."
Tang Ming laughed arrogantly, "The assassin organization I want to establish must have world-class strength, capable of easily assassinating martial masters. With proper training, it wouldn’t be impossible to take down martial generals in the future."
Hearing this, Shen Yan stared at Tang Ming in disbelief. With her strength, she had repeatedly failed to assassinate Tang Ming before, which proved how difficult it was for ordinary assassins to take down martial arts cultivators.
Now Tang Ming wanted to train a group capable of killing martial masters, which seemed a bit far-fetched.
"I’m not crazy. I have the confidence and resources."
Tang Ming smiled, confidently saying: "If you’re willing, I want you to be in charge of this organization. After all, you come from an assassin background and are familiar with the industry. You would be the commander of this team; in the future, when these assassins take shape, you’d be the undisputed assassin queen."
Shen Yan swallowed hard, staring at Tang Ming. If this was truly the case, she would definitely help him. But could this really be achieved?
"So, are you willing to do it?"
Tang Ming looked at Shen Yan nervously.
"I’m willing, but are you sure you can make this happen?"
Shen Yan looked at Tang Ming doubtfully.
"As long as you believe in me, it can definitely be achieved."
Tang Ming laughed heartily, speaking boldly: "This is how I trained to my current strength. If in the future, there are dozens or even hundreds of assassins with my strength, who in the world would dare compete with me?"
"Can I also reach your level?"
Shen Yan looked at Tang Ming with shining eyes and asked.
"Of course, as long as you’re willing to work hard, you can definitely reach the Martial Master Realm. And if you’re capable, reaching the Military General Level is also possible."
Tang Ming laughed. He knew there was a shadowy biochemical organization with hidden moves that he couldn’t uncover, but if Shen Yan and others could, that would be good.
"I agree to help you."
Shen Yan nodded decisively.
"Great! First, handle the matters in Songlan City, and in a couple of days, take the people I’ve selected to a place for special training."
Tang Ming reached into his pocket and took out a piece of paper, handing it to Shen Yan: "Remember this address."
"I’ll trust you this once."
Shen Yan smiled and nodded, taking the piece of paper.
After a bit of small talk, Tang Ming left the villa and returned to the Liu Family.
After settling in, Tang Ming instructed others to keep an eye on the Ming Group’s situation. He heard that Fu Tianyou had ordered an accusation against the Ming Group Martial Arts Inspection Team and announced an investigation and rectification, even listing Lengzhan and others as wanted criminals...
Fu Tianyou acted so quickly that Tang Ming, who wanted to cause trouble for the Ming Group, felt a bit frustrated.
The Ming Group had issued such an announcement, so there was no way to hold Fu Tianyou accountable. However, thinking about how he had extorted billions from those wealthy individuals, he decided to let it go.
After all, those directly harming the Heavenly Cloud Palace had already faced justice. Without evidence, even if he caused trouble at the Ming Group, it wouldn’t yield any results.
Hao Jian returned to the Imperial City and, at first, inquired about the auction situation. He heard that the venue had been burned down, Lengzhan and others killed, and the wealthy were extorted, scaring him greatly.
Hao Jian was also tremendously relieved he had fled in time; otherwise, with things so dire there, if he hadn’t run, he might not have survived.
The only thing frustrating Hao Jian was that after so much effort and time spent, he’d broken into the Heavenly Cloud Palace but ended up without earning a single penny, which was extremely frustrating.
As for the Ming Group, Fu Tianyou felt equally spooked upon hearing that Lengzhan and the others had all been killed, leaving no survivors among the Martial Arts Inspection Team members.
He immediately ordered an investigation, but they couldn’t find out who was responsible.
