Chapter 683: Chapter 683

Lin Chen's eyes were covered as he was led by two men in black into a dark private room.

Although blindfolded, he could still see the situation outside clearly. He was first taken into a bar, then led blindfolded into an underground passage, and finally, into a secret room.

At the entrance of the secret room, after two men in sunglasses searched Lin Chen, they let him in.

Under the dim lighting, a young man sat on the sofa with his legs crossed, smoking a cigar.

Lin Chen saw him and smiled faintly, sitting directly opposite him.

The young man narrowed his eyes slightly, scrutinizing Lin Chen carefully before speaking, "Was it you who took on this mission?"

Lin Chen replied indifferently, "Yes, it was me who took on this mission."

"You're ranked 500, your organization is at the bottom of the Assassin Rankings. What qualifies you to take on this mission?" the young man said coldly.

"True masters always keep a low profile. If one is too conspicuous, it only proves one thing, they are foolish," Lin Chen replied with a faint smile.

The young man suddenly burst out laughing, "So, does this mean that Blood Spirit, the top name, and Jue Mian, the second on the Assassin Rankings, are fools?"

Lin Chen smiled faintly, "That's what I believe."

The young man said coldly, "This is a mission that allows no failure, but I do not trust you, unless you can defeat these four subordinates of mine."

As he spoke, the young man clapped his hands, and four burly men entered from outside.

"All four are from the M country's Black Hawk Special Forces. If you can defeat them, the mission is yours, and we can continue to talk. If you lose, this will be your grave," the young man said with a cold expression.

Lin Chen, seeing the four men approaching, wore a look of disdain and did not even bother to stand up.

"Alright, let them make their move!" Lin Chen said indifferently.

Seeing Lin Chen not even standing up, the young man narrowed his eyes slightly.

The four burly men's eyes hardened, their faces fierce.

Known as beasts, they had a notorious reputation in the underground circles, yet this man dared to despise them.

The four bellowed, exuding a murderous aura.

Almost instantly, like tigers descending the mountain, they pounced toward Lin Chen.

Four fists flew like a torrential storm toward Lin Chen.

At that moment, Lin Chen finally moved. He sprung from the sofa with a tornado kick.

"Bang, bang, bang, bang!"

Accompanied by four muffled sounds, the four men were kicked to the ground by Lin Chen.

Watching this scene, the young man who was initially smoking a cigar suddenly changed his expression, and the cigar dropped to the ground.

"How is that possible, this guy just knocked down four of my fierce men with one move."

Despite this, the young man, instead of getting angry, smiled and waved his hand, signaling the four to retreat.

The four fierce men's faces turned livid, never having imagined that they would be defeated in one move by a slender man from Huaxia.

"Not bad, it seems you really are a master. Alright, I think you can take on this mission," the young man said with a faint smile.

Lin Chen took a sip of red wine and spoke lightly, "Alright, but before I take the mission, I must discuss the conditions. My missions demand not just money, but something else, the Life Stone. If you have it, we can continue; if not, I won't accept the mission."

"The Life Stone?" Upon hearing Lin Chen's words, the young man was taken aback, then a cold smirk appeared on his face.

"Kid, you've got quite an appetite!"

Lin Chen smiled faintly, "The feeling is mutual."

After pondering for a moment, the young man said, "Alright, I can agree to your terms, but only if you complete the mission."

Lin Chen was thrilled internally; he wasn't sure if the other party had the Life Stone, but he wanted to test his luck, and it turned out he guessed right.

Since the other party could issue an SSS-level mission, his connections in the underworld must be extraordinary, and it was entirely possible to know about or even possess something like the Life Stone if one had significant dark-world influence.

"Good, it's a deal. Now let's talk about your mission," Lin Chen said earnestly.

The young man continued, "My name is Hei Ze, I am the eldest son of Hei Ming, who founded Tian Bang, and brought it into the ranks of the world's twelve great dark forces."

"Tian Bang!" Hearing this name stirred something in Lin Chen's heart as well.

Tian Bang was the largest gang in Southeast Asia, controlling the entire region's drug industry and casting its influence across East Asia, with countless gang members.

Lin Chen spoke lightly, "So, you're the eldest son of Tian Bang. With such formidable strength, do you still need me?"

Hei Ze smiled coldly, "I wouldn't have posted this mission if I weren't facing a problem I couldn't solve myself."

Lin Chen looked curiously at Hei Ze, "Tell me, what is it that even young master Hei Ze can't handle?"

Anger flashed in Hei Ze's eyes as he spoke, "My father died last week, but that old man handed Tian Bang over to my sister before dying. I am his biological son, yet he gave his life's work to an outsider."

As he spoke, Hei Ze's facial muscles were even slightly distorted, and a murderous look burst forth from his eyes.

"You want me to kill your sister?" Lin Chen asked.

Hei Ze squinted his eyes slightly, "Exactly, I want you to kill her. Complete this, and not only will you get a billion-dollar bounty, but also the Life Stone you mentioned."

Lin Chen nodded, "Good, it's a deal."

The deal between the two was finalized and would be registered in the Assassin system, a behemoth entity behind the scenes. If an assassin completes a mission and the employer fails to pay, they would face relentless assassination attempts from the hidden forces, a fate not even Tian Bang would dare provoke.

Lin Chen received the report on Hei Ze's sister, Hei Li, and was led out of the dark room.

Lin Chen returned to the hotel, where Milly and Mina both crowded around him.

Originally, both wanted to accompany him, but Lin Chen directly refused them.

After all, an SSS-level mission surely wasn't for ordinary people, and the mission would invariably be fraught with danger. Lin Chen did not want to drag the Milly sisters into it.

If it weren't for the temptation of the Life Stone, Lin Chen would have withdrawn from the mission, but the allure forced him to take the risk.

No matter whether it was Hei Ze or his sister Hei Li, since they controlled a vast drug network, they definitely weren't good people, and Lin Chen wouldn't feel guilty about killing them.

"Quickly tell us, what is the mission?" Mina asked anxiously.

Lin Chen smiled faintly, "Want to know? Each of you give me a kiss."

"You!" Upon hearing Lin Chen's words, both sisters blushed.

If you aren't going to kiss, then I might just forget about the mission," Lin Chen teased as he watched the two.

The sisters exchanged glances and finally, with cheeks flushed red, they both planted cherry-like kisses on Lin Chen's face.
