Chapter 410: The Wolf Pack Tactic

What would happen if he mixed several bloodline fighting techniques of a similar type? Qian Jin nodded his head hard and started visualizing the outcomes.

Unbelievable! A look of enlightenment crawled onto Qian Jin’s face. To renovate and create a fighting technique entailed a solid grounding and the dedicated efforts of numerous talents of several generations before it was truly consummated.

This extensive project might be unattainable even for the predecessors who had achieved the Wind and Cloud Warrior Power, however...

The endless world! Qian Jin took a hard breath. Yes! As long as he defeated the contestants appointed by Mr. Enlak and won sufficient bouts in the Enlak’s Warrior Power House, he could set forth a request at Mr. Enlak, by which he might accomplish this huge task ordinary people found impossible.

"My uncle, please help me watch over him." Qian Jin came to his senses from meditation and looked at Marc Gavin. "I will think about a way. There will be a way for me."

Seeing the serious look on Qian Jin’s face, Marc Gavin shrugged his shoulder and gave up on the attempt of torturing Rocky Ray into confessing. This little boy toward whom Marc Gavin held a profound affection was full of marvel. Now that he had said so, the best choice was to follow him.

Rocky Ray looked at Qian Jin vigilantly, wondering whether he was intending to use that eerie potion again. But if that potion was his secret weapon, why didn’t he use it immediately? Humph! I wouldn’t be afraid if you used that strange potion on me. No one knew that I had a special constitution in that any type of medicine would become useless to me upon second use. By that time I could feign dizziness and seize the opportunity to leave by taking with me a hostage. Rocky Ray thought to himself.

Qian Jin swung his wrist, placed the Sky Shot Training Scroll into his warrior dimension and then turned to Rocky Ray again. An assassin! Marc Gavin mentioned hiring an assassin just now. To compete with the Ray Family via the help of the Torrent Battle Fort and Uncle Marc Gavin was unattainable, let alone all by himself.

But there was one possible way.

"My uncle, do you know how to find an assassin?" Qian Jin looked at the angry-looking Marc Gavin. "I mean, groups of assassins instead of discrete ones."

"Of course. The top forces in the Zence Empire are generally in connections with the assassins." Marc Gavin sighed softly. "Over the past days, the Torrent Battle Fort has intercepted many business channels of the Ray Family, but it hasn’t yet seen much profit. Instead, we have invested a lot into them. Thus, for the moment being, we may lack the sufficient funds to hire assassins, especially in face of the influential Ray Family."

Seeing Marc Gavin sighing and hesitating to speak, Qian Jin knew what he was intending to express. To hire one or two assassins meant nothing to the Ray Family

"I’m not quite clear of the pricing standard of the assassins’ circle." Qian Jin scratched his head and looked at Marc Gavin. "Can you directly tell me the amount of gold coins needed? One million? Two million? Or three to five million? Or more than this figure? Could that be ten million gold coins?"

Marc Gavin looked at Qian Jin bemusedly, wondering what this boy was thinking about. Ten million gold coins? Did you have any recourse to that amount of money?

Seeing the doubtful look of Marc Gavin, Qian Jin smiled. It was quite normal for everyone to feel like that. After all, to collect ten million gold coins in a short time was impossible for any individual or family force including the Ray Family, let alone a newly emerged warrior. Well, he had to display his "wealth" to have this uncle believe in him.

Warrior dimension! Qian Jin opened his spacious warrior dimension. Piles of stacks of gold bricks fell before Marc Gavin’s eyes.

What was that?!

Marc Gavin had seen much of the world’s wealth in the past.

As the president of the Torrent Battle Fort, one of the most influential forces in Yulee, he had been exposed to a large amount of gold coins, though such money didn’t necessarily belong with him. Also, he had seen a number of block trades between gold coins and goods.

However, never had he felt as surprised as today.

Gold bricks! A torrential river of gold bricks streamed from the warrior dimension onto the ground, covering the cobblestone floor just within a blink. Under the reflection of the lamplight, the dark floor was now giving out a glistening light, as if the entire ground had changed into a sea of gold.

At all once, the entire room was enveloped in a glittering ambiance, looking just like the imperial palace chanted in the traveling poets’ lyrics!

Looking at the gold coins conjured from all directions, Rocky Ray couldn’t stop swallowing. If all these gold coins were used for recruiting soldiers, purchasing weapons and armaments and establishing military forces, to take back the royal power belonging to the Rocky Family would be much easier! This person...well...next time I couldn’t kill him directly! I should capture him alive and force him to hand to me all these coins! Rocky Ray thought to himself.

The gold bricks kept producing a pleasant clashing sound, which sounded like the beats from the war drum to Marc Gavin. He felt his strong mental defense had been broken through and turned vulnerable.

"Boy...you... boy..."Marc Gavin tried hard to hold his breath, and stutter. "How much money do you?"

"I..." Qian Jin pondered for a while and finally decided to tell the truth, as for the time being to annihilate the Ray Family had become the top priority. Only by doing so could he and Rosella rest secure and seek future development.

How could someone concentrate on his own business under the thirsty gaze of a wolf at the back?

"I can take out ten million gold coins." Qian Jin let out had a long sigh. "The Ray Family is too hazardous for me. I have to extinguish it."

"Ten million gold coins..." Marc Gavin took a cold breath, gazing at Qian Jin’s warrior dimension which kept pouring out gold coins with a blank face. Where did his money come from? Had he broken into the palace of the Demons and robbed their treasury?

"Is this enough?" Qian Jin looked into Marc Gavin.

"No." Marc Gavin made a sigh. The backup force of the long-standing Ray Family might be unimaginably extensive, which had not only spanned over Yulee but also the Holy Capital. Every one of their discrete forces was abundant in hidden power.

The Ray Family might not be able to take out ten million gold coins in a short time, but it didn’t mean they could be exterminated with this amount of money.

"Of course..." Seeing the slightly frustrated look of Qian Jin, Marc Gavin took a deep breath. "In fact, to try injuring the Ray Family with five or ten million gold coins makes no substantial differences."

"Though the Rays might not be annihilated all at once..." Marc Gavin sneered, "After being heavily injured...would the surrounding watching wolves turn a blind eye to the wounded beasts and wait for them to recover?"

The surrounding wolves? Qian Jin felt blank for one second and then realized Marc Gavin was referring to the other forces in Yulee.

The Ray Family got injured and ran into a hostile relationship with Fabreidis due to the duel. Though they suffered certain financial losses, no substantive pain was inflicted on their foundations.

If the foundation of the Ray Family was suddenly damaged, the other forces would surely pounce on them like the wild wolves which had smelled the scent of blood!

In the one-to-one confrontation, the Ray Family might be able to cause heavy losses to its opponent at the cost of its own well-being. However, when facing a pack of wolves...

The Ray Family wouldn’t bring about any substantial losses to any of the countering forces! Then... Qian Jin flashed a light out of his eyes. As long as the leader of the Ray Family was a creature of rationality, he would choose to eschew or even escape the surrounding forces, instead of continuing the deadly fight.

"Then I will take out five million!" Qian Jin clenched his fist and looked at Marc Gavin. "Dear uncle, please help me hire the assassins. You needn’t call on a large number of them. To have the Ray Family stop its current molesting actions will be okay."

"Five million gold coins..." Marc Gavin looked at Qian Jin with great admiration. If it was another who came into possession of such an amount of money, he might choose to live an idle and cozy life in some hidden place. However, this boy called Qian Jin staked them all in order to wipe out the Ray Family. In this respect, he owned the majestic guts designed for the royal family.

At the sight of Qian Jin’s back, Rocky Ray had his heart beat hard out of control and thought he might have got on the wrong side of someone whom he couldn’t afford to offend, as he didn’t even give a shit to five million gold coins. That’s five million gold coins! I had to try taking over them! Rocky Ray roared to himself.

"You boy, feel at ease." Marc Gavin sneered broadly. "Sometimes, lives are as cheap as dirt. I may look for the [Murder] with these five million gold coins."

[Murder]? Qian Jin’s eyes cramped fiercely. To him, the [Murder] was only a fable in the predecessors’ diaries, but the president of the Torrent Battle Fort was able to get in touch with it. Just like the saying went, to eavesdrop the cabinet entailed strong backgrounds.

The black bean sized pupils of Rocky Ray shrunk as small as needles. [Murder]! Anyone in the assassins’ circle was well-informed of the [Murder], which was, one of the two most famous assassin organizations along with the [Death].

The two strongest assassin organizations, the [Murder] of Zence Empire and the [Killing] of the Demons were places where only money worked. As long as enough money was paid, to hire the Demons’ [Death] to behead the Demon Emperor could also be planned.

Definitely, the head of the Demon Emperor was unthinkably expensive, the chopping down of which might exhaust the entire treasury of the Zence Empire, even including the mouse living in it.

Well, whether the [Death] could accomplish the paid mission remained something unknown. However, they would try all means to fulfill the handed mission.

Similarly, as another assassin organization, the [Murder] could be hired to behead the emperor of the Zence Empire, as long as enough money was sacrificed.

However, since the emperor of the Zence Empire wasn’t the bloodline power awakener, the court could easily elect a new one upon the death of the present one. Besides, there would generally be one warrior from the top three ultimate bloodline families of heavenly awakening as the bodyguard.

After the beheading of one emperor of Zence at a high price, a new one would be elected. What was more, to chop down the emperor in power wasn’t something as easy as falling off a log. Considering this ratio of investment to return, the Demons hadn’t really thought about hiring people to kill the emperor of the Zence Empire.

"No problem! If the present gold coins are not enough, I can add more." Qian Jin made a harsh exhale. Even if the Ray Family might not be totally wiped out, at least heavy losses could be incurred on them, so long as he could ask the [Murder] to take the bash.
