Chapter 1140: Charles’ Worries
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
Old Buffon was famous, but there were not many people who had seen him, and these people were mostly at the top of the pyramid. Now, Old Buffon was like an ordinary old man, bringing his lady on the street. The looked like an average middle-aged couple.
Yang Ming was holding Wang Xiaoyan and Shu Ya, walking in front of them like a playboy who came out to have fun, but it didn’t look strange. It must be known that on the streets at night, most of the people who had women on the left and right like Yang Ming, were playboys who came out to have fun.
“It’s been a long time since I had this ordinary feeling.” Old Buffon said with some emotions as he took his lady’s hand. When he came out previously, he was usually with a team of followers. There was no sense of freedom.
“Yeah, this feeling of tranquility is so good.” Mrs. Buffon had not relaxed as such in decades. After marrying Old Buffon, she lived a life where she would not walk out alone.
” Hehe , but I only have this sense of security because I am coming out with Master and Master’s Wife Wang. Going out with them is better than a team of guards!” Old Buffon was feeling somewhat complacent.
Yang Ming and Wang Xiaoyan didn’t need any disguise. However, Shu Ya was a public figure. At this moment, she had to wear a pair of big sunglasses to cover her face, but she couldn’t conceal her elegance. She attracted a lot of attention from many young boys, even when walking on the street.
“Yang Ming… you see that person…” Suddenly, Wang Xiaoyan next to Yang Ming squeezed his hand and spoke softly.
In fact, without Wang Xiaoyan’s remarks, Yang Ming had noticed a man in a black trench coat not far away. This person was actually the God Racer Charles who they met in Song Jiang!
“What’s wrong?” Shu Ya looked at Yang Ming and Wang Xiaoyan with a little doubt. She did not know why they suddenly stopped.
“I saw an acquaintance.” Yang Ming whispered. “But I don’t really want him to see us here.”
Yang Ming and Wang Xiaoyan had always pretended to be ordinary in the face of Charles, but it was somewhat inexplicable if they suddenly appeared in Europe. Besides, Yang Ming and Wang Xiaoyan thought that Charles’ behavior was sneaky. They wanted to see what he was doing.
They saw Charles lowering his cricket cap, and the collar on the trench coat was set up to cover most of his face. If Yang Ming and Wang Xiaoyan did not have a deep impression of this person, they would not have immediately recognized him.
Charles was squatting there, seeming to wait for someone. However, if Yang Ming was going to the business street, he must pass by Charles. Therefore, Yang Ming turned to talk to the Old Buffon couple and said, “I have something to do temporarily. You should go shopping first. I will meet you later. Little Ya, you also follow Old Buffon. Yanyan and I will meet you later.”
“Okay.” Old Buffon nodded and took the ladies away. He also understood that since Yang Ming said this, there must be something important.
Shu Ya also knew that Yang Ming definitely had something important to do. Since he kept Wang Xiaoyan with him, Shu Ya could guess what the matter was, so she nodded immediately. She was not an indecisive woman. She understood that staying here would only cause trouble for Yang Ming. If Yang Ming wanted to protect her, it would seriously affect Yang Ming’s plan execution efficiency.
Wang Xiaoyan was different; she did not need Yang Ming’s protection.
The reason why Yang Ming handed Shu Ya to the Old Buffon couple because he was assured that no one dared to touch the Old Buffon family in Europe.
After the three of them left, Yang Ming and Wang Xiaoyan hid in the dark, quietly watching Charles’ movement.
After a closer look, Yang Ming found that Charles was not waiting for someone, but he was looking thoughtfully in the direction of a restaurant far away.
“What is this guy looking at?” As Yang Ming said this, he also looked in the direction of the restaurant with his special abilities.
“Who knows? Is he going to assassinate someone?” Wang Xiaoyan guessed.
There weren’t many people in the restaurant, and it seemed that someone had booked the whole restaurant. Many black-shirted men were patrolling in the doorway. There was only one table with people in the restaurant. It was a somewhat majestic old man, waiting quietly there.
Beside him, was a blond girl. Although she could be claimed as beautiful, according to Yang Ming’s aesthetic standard as an Asian, he did not quite like this kind of European and American beauty.
After a while, the old man looked at the watch on his wrist and frowned. It seemed that he was waiting for someone, and that person did not come on time.
“There is an old man in the restaurant, and a young foreign girl who seems to be waiting for someone,” Yang Ming told Wang Xiaoyan.
“Are they waiting for Charles?” Wang Xiaoyan said casually.
“Waiting for Charles?” Yang Ming was stunned. He thought Charles was observing the target, but now it seemed that this was not the case.
“How can you see it?” Wang Xiaoyan was a little curious. She stood with Yang Ming. She didn’t even see the figure in the restaurant, and Yang Ming could actually observe so meticulously!
“My vision is better.” Yang Ming could only explain it like this. He still had something to hide from Wang Xiaoyan.
“Why do I feel like you are like Conan with electronic glasses?” Wang Xiaoyan glanced at Yang Ming and said, “I’ll try to get closer to see. Maybe there is someone I know.”
After that, she walked forward without waiting for Yang Ming to speak. Although Yang Ming wanted to say something to stop her, he dismissed the idea after thinking about it. This road was not very wide. There was no obstruction on the roadside. If they got too close, they would inevitably be discovered by Charles.
But even if he were discovered by Charles, he didn’t care. At most, they could just sit down and talk. Yang Ming wasn’t afraid of him.
The old man in the restaurant looked at the time again and suddenly frowned. Yang Ming guessed that it was probably way past the agreed time, so the old man would have this expression.
The old man took out his phone and dialed a number. What surprised Yang Ming was that Charles actually took out his phone at the same time. After looking at it, he then pressed the hang-up button.
The old man frowned and put down the phone, then picked up the phone irritably and continued to dial the number. Charles once again took out his own phone.
“Hello?” Charles picked up the phone.
“Where are you? When are you coming? It’s been half an hour after the agreed time!” asked the old man.
“I… have something to do temporarily. I can’t go…” Charles obviously had a guilty conscience.
“You are nearby, right? I’ll get people to find you!” The old man hung up after he finished, and then he commanded a black-shirted man waiting at the side. The black-shirted man brought the others walking out of the restaurant. They began searching around the restaurant in all directions.
Charles hung up the phone. After seeing this scene, he turned and ran in Yang Ming’s direction abruptly. Wang Xiaoyan’s attention was at the restaurant. She did not expect Charles to turn away abruptly from the front and run toward her. Wang Xiaoyan was shocked.
Wang Xiaoyan did not know about the conversation between the old man and Charles. She suddenly saw Charles turn around, thinking that Charles had noticed her following him. She did not think about dodging. Instead, she took on a posture to face the enemy. It made Yang Ming a little dumbfounded.
Yang Ming was too late to warn Wang Xiaoyan because Charles had seen Wang Xiaoyan. Charles also had a hint of surprise on his face.
“You… what are you going to do?” Charles asked in a panic. He couldn’t understand how Wang Xiaoyan suddenly appeared here and blocked in front of him. Was she hired by my father?
“What am I going to do?” Wang Xiaoyan paused. “Didn’t you discover me?”
“Why would I discover you?” Charles listened to Wang Xiaoyan’s words and knew that there was a misunderstanding between them. He couldn’t help but laugh. “Never mind. Let’s run quickly. We will talk later!”
After that, Charles ran away. Yang Ming and Wang Xiaoyan couldn’t figure out the current situation, so they had to run with Charles. They were like running a street marathon. They kept running forward together. After about four or five streets, Charles stopped.
Fortunately, all three of them were assassins. They had received strict physical training, so they did not gasp for air due to the lack of physical strength after a long run. It was like nothing for them.
Charles knew his own condition, so he was not surprised that he was fine. Instead, he had a strong suspicion of Yang Ming and Wang Xiaoyan.
Logically, except for athletes, any average person who ran so far without preparation would have more or less some discomfort. At the very least, he would gasp. After all, exercise for so long would increase lung capacity.
However, Yang Ming and Wang Xiaoyan did not have any adverse reactions. This made Charles very curious. “Do you often exercise?”
” En , bed exercise.” Yang Ming nodded and said seriously.
” Ah ?” Charles was stunned.
“Don’t talk about this first. Why did you run just now?” Yang Ming also saw Charles’ suspicion, so he responded with the “bed exercise” to brush him off and to distract Charles’ attention.
“Can I not run? Didn’t you see people coming out of the restaurant to catch me?!” Charles said with a lingering fear.
“Catch you? Catch you for what?” asked Yang Ming.
“It is a long story!” Charles was not very familiar with Yang Ming, so he didn’t say too much. “Are you free now? Let’s sit down and have a drink! I didn’t expect to meet acquaintances here.”
“Let’s go. We don’t have anything to do anyway.” Yang Ming nodded and said.
So they entered a small bar on the side of the road, found a small booth, and sat down.
“Charles, now you can’t deny it. Do you have a business in Europe?” Wang Xiaoyan asked with an enigmatic smile.
Charles didn’t have any strange expressions. After all, when he was talking to Yang Ming, he had already changed his words and admitted that he had a business in Europe.
“It seems that you know me very well.” Charles did not deny what Wang Xiaoyan said before. “Who are you exactly? I think we seemed to have met each other accidentally.”
“It’s really just an accident.” Yang Ming said, “But there is one thing I don’t think we have to hide it. If I am not wrong, we should be in the same profession.”
“Same profession, what do you mean?” Charles was stunned. “You are also a racer?”
“You should understand what I mean.” Yang Ming continued, “I am not a racer, but I am an assassin.”
Yang Ming had learned from Wang Xiaoyan that there was no conflict between Charles and her. There was no deep hatred between them, so Yang Ming did not intend to beat around the bush with Charles. If he wanted to make a non-famous assassin group to grow, besides his own powerful strength, he still needed to get some help.
Charles’ family was one of the best assistants, the third-ranked assassin group in the world. Its name was second only to the King of Assassins and the Butterfly Family.
To be honest, Yang Ming did not really want to have anything to do with the Butterfly Family. Yang Ming was a more casual person who did not like the kind of life that others had arranged for him.
Although Fang Tian was his master, he did not want to follow the intention of his master to marry a little princess of the so-called Butterfly Family who he had never met. This kind of marriage without love was destined to be a failure, a tragedy.
Although the King of Assassins ranked first in the world, it was just a person. In addition to Fang Tian, ??the single commander, the two left were Yang Ming and Dong Jun.
Dong Jun was a god of thieves, not an assassin, so Yang Ming was the only one who could make a move. Although he had the name of the King of Assassins, the resources he could borrow were limited.
Yang Ming could rely on the power of the Butterfly Family. He believed that the Butterfly Family was also willing to provide the necessary resources, but the marriage contract had become a thorn in Yang Ming’s heart. Therefore, Yang Ming did not really want to trouble the Butterfly Family.
The more he owed them, the more difficult it will be when it was time to pay back. In the end, the favor would be returned with his body, then it would be f*cked up.
Therefore, Yang Ming had no choice but to find a third-party assistant. After Yang Ming knew Charles’ identity, he locked his target on Charles.
Initially, Yang Ming wanted to return to Song Jiang, and then find a suitable opportunity to talk with Charles openly, but he did not expect to meet Charles in Europe.
Although this was a bit hasty, since Charles had already seen the existence of Yang Ming, Yang Ming also decided to reveal his identity.
“What?!” Charles’s face suddenly changed. He didn’t think that Yang Ming was actually an assassin! However, the people in the assassin world rarely knew that he was the family heir. How did Yang Ming know this?
” Hehe , don’t deny it so soon. The reason why I said so much to you is that there is no conflict of interest and hostility between us. Therefore, we can sit and talk so much. Otherwise, you would be dead already.” Yang Ming smiled faintly.
After listening to Yang Ming, Charles obviously had some disdain. Although he was committed to his racing career, he had undergone rigorous assassin training since he was a child. He was not someone that could be killed easily.
“Is it?” Charles extended his hand to grab the wine glass on the table disdainfully, but he suddenly found out that the glass disappeared all of a sudden. He looked up. The wine glass was quietly placed in front of Yang Ming. Charles suddenly was shocked in his heart.
Charles didn’t notice when Yang Ming took the wine glass! If Yang Ming did something at this time, then he might be dead now.
Thinking of this, Charles suddenly burst into a cold sweat. “You… you two… who sent you guys?”
“No one sent us.” Yang Ming shook his head. “I didn’t think I’d see you here. My idea was to go back to Song Jiang and find another chance to talk to you in detail, but I didn’t expect to meet you here.”
“What do you want?” Charles looked nervously at Yang Ming.
“We want nothing for now. We just want to get in contact with you with this identity.” Yang Ming said, “I think we can discuss the specific plan after we go back to Song Jiang.”
“Do you mean cooperation between the two parties?” Charles was not stupid. He immediately understood Yang Ming’s intention.
“Almost.” Yang Ming nodded and said.
“Since you know my identity, you probably understand my situation too!” Charles suddenly smiled bitterly and said, “I am actually not interested in the career of the assassin. My favorite career is racing! This is my ideal and pursuit. As for family matters, I think it is boring!”
“I have heard of this.” Yang Ming said, “But, do you want to keep going like this? As far as I know, you are the only heir to your family. If you go to race cars, what will your family do?”
Yang Ming’s words seemed to tug at Charles’ heartstrings. Charles bowed his head in pain. He kept scratching his head, and his face was very pained. “I understand what you’re saying, but… but if you make me do things that I don’t like just for the family, I will really go crazy!”
Yang Ming looked at Charles’s present situation, and there was some sympathy in his heart. The fate of children of these big families was destined at birth. In the eyes of outsiders, although they were having a good time, they had their own difficulties.
They also wanted to have their own lives. Charles in front of him was like this. But thinking about it, wasn’t Wang Xiaoyan beside him the same? She tried to create the world’s number one assassin group. Wasn’t it a tool for her to get her family to compromise?
“I know, but everyone has his own responsibility! This is decided since birth. It can’t be helped.” Yang Ming sighed.
“The person inside the restaurant is my father. He told me to go back in the name of arranging my marriage, but I know that he wants to catch me and put me under house arrest. I will not be fooled!” said Charles.
Charles’ words stunned Yang Ming. He didn’t expect the old man in the restaurant to be Charles’ father. This family was really dramatic. The father tried to set up his son; the son tried to set up his father too.
