Chapter 210 Actually, I'm an Assassin
Inside the stadium.
The silver-ranked referee spent some time seeing all the Soul Masters off, then closed the arena doors, ordered all the bronze-ranked referees to patrol and guard the area, and went to a VIP room in the Soul Master Arena with the number three.
He entered the room, locked the door behind him, and used his soul power to sense his surroundings. After confirming that there was nothing around, he walked to the glass in the room and looked down. The entire Soul Guidance Arena was clearly visible.
The silver-lettered referee quickly tapped five spots on the glass, then waited quietly.
A strange surge of soul power emanated from the glass, followed by the descent of a screen, on which a figure gradually appeared.
The figure, wearing a pure gold doll mask, sat on a dark blue chair, his left hand adorned with numerous rings.
A voice came from the screen, and the silver referee knelt on one knee and respectfully said, "Wang Yu greets his master."
"Hmm, what brings you here?"
Wang Yu kept it brief, saying, "We've found someone to deal with Xiao Nanye, and he's a perfect fit. He not only knows Xiao Nanye, but he also has a grudge against him."
"Oh? You've found one of Xiao Nanye's enemies? Are you sure about this?" The figure stood up from the chair, walked to the screen, and stared intently at Wang Yu with eyes hidden behind a mask.
"Whether they are mortal enemies is still uncertain, but this person is as mysterious as Xiao Nanye. My subordinates are sending people to investigate him thoroughly." Wang Yu's voice trembled slightly, and he dared not raise his head, but his body trembled uncontrollably.
"No need to investigate anymore, this is fine. Anyway, we've looked for so many people, but few of them are useful. As long as this person can really deal with Xiao Nanye, it doesn't matter what his background is. Xiao Nanye has already caused me too much loss. If this continues, An Litong will find my ledger. You better hurry up!" the figure said in a deep voice.
Wang Yu felt as if two daggers were cutting into him, and quickly replied, "Understood, I will bring out rare metals of sufficient value in the next few days to attract Xiao Nanye to participate in the competition!"
"Wang Yu, you'd better hurry up. An Litong has already noticed Xiao Nanye." The figure sat back in his seat, tapping the armrest with his left hand.
"Yes! Your subordinate respectfully sees Lord Li off!" Wang Yu said respectfully.
The screen quietly disappeared, and Wang Yu remained kneeling on one knee for a full quarter of an hour before he finally relaxed and slowly stood up. A chill ran down his back, and Wang Yu realized that his back was soaked with cold sweat.
"I wonder if the Tianshan Black Iron can attract Xiao Nanye. Li Yuanren only gave me such a short time. It seems I'll have to use up all my savings for my coffin." Wang Yu said helplessly.
VIP Room No. 3 was a privately built place by Li Yuanren, the vice president of the Aodu Chamber of Commerce, to contact his confidants. Wang Yu would report on the kickbacks he received from the Chamber of Commerce every week.
"Time is running out, I can only ask that damn person what their name is." Wang Yu grabbed his hair with his right hand, scratching it irritably, turning his neatly combed hair into a bird's nest.
"Never mind, as long as Xiao Nanye arrives, that person should come too." Wang Yu casually grabbed a couple of handfuls of hair, not caring about his appearance, and walked straight out of the VIP room.
Soon, news of the emergence of Tianshan Black Iron and Crimson Gold Copper in Arena No. 2 spread, causing a stir in the underground Soul Master community. All the underground Soul Masters of Mingdu turned their attention to Arena No. 2 of the Aodu Chamber of Commerce.
"Tianshan black iron, red gold copper, and deep-sea marrow silver—these three metals could buy a remote small city. Such a grand gesture just to deal with me; it would be embarrassing not to go." Ye Nanxiao's eyes gleamed with golden light, and the symbols on his gold soul coins kept flashing.
"Such a big show of force, it's obvious they want you to jump in by yourself. It seems they're well-prepared," Xue Di said.
"Since it's a trap, why don't we turn the tables on them?" Ye Nanxiao stroked his chin, pondering how to trick the Aodu Chamber of Commerce again.
"We don't know the other party's situation. What if there's a Title Douluo in charge?" Xue Di put down the book in her hand and looked at Ye Nanxiao in his spiritual form.
"It's not impossible, but I don't think it's likely, because this competition is being held in Arena 2. If it was the idea of the president of the Aodu Chamber of Commerce, the venue should be Arena 1, which is guarded by Lao Jin, where the defense is the strongest. It seems that there are probably more than one voice within their ranks," Ye Nanxiao analyzed.
"It's best to be careful; you've already been targeted," Xue Di said.
"Well, let's put on a show for them today. Oh, and make sure to prepare a few extra sacks for today." Ye Nanxiao's face revealed a shrewd businessman's smile.
When Xiao Ye No. 3 arrived at Arena No. 2 with Xiao Nanye's face, the arena was already packed with Soul Masters from the Underworld.
"The number of referees has more than doubled, with ten silver-level referees, but no gold-level referees. However, the venue has undergone a lot of modifications." Xiao Ye No. 3 looked at the group of referees who were secretly watching him and thought about how to make a runaway later.
Upon seeing Xiao Ye No. 3, Wang Yu immediately made a gesture, and all the other silver-ranked referees behind him dispersed and quietly stood in various positions around Xiao Ye No. 3, while most of the bronze-ranked referees moved closer to the door.
"They took the bait as expected. Now we just have to wait for Xiao Nanye's enemy to make his appearance." Wang Yu walked to Xiao Ye No. 3's side with a smile on his face.
"Mr. Xiao is here to receive an award again today?" Wang Yu asked with a smile.
"Yes, I'm here to buy more goods. I can't miss out on this big order. Have you guys made a fortune lately?" Xiao Ye No. 3 laughed.
Upon hearing the word "get rich," Wang Yu's expression turned somewhat grim. Last time, in order to deal with Xiao Nanye, his master Li Yuanren had used the Black Essence Stone as a prize for the competition. However, the group of Soul Masters he had invited were no match for Xiao Nanye, and as soon as the competition ended, Xiao Nanye vanished without a trace.
If it weren't for the fact that Xiao Ye No. 3 was constructed from human material, Wang Yu would have suspected that it was a rat spirit that had been reborn as a human, how could it run so fast?
Xiao Ye No. 3 didn't see Wang Yu's expression under the mask, but judging from Wang Yu's reaction, he could probably guess what it was.
"Recently, the profits have been quite good. Mr. Xiao is really humorous. This way, please. As a VIP who frequently visits our arena, we have specially reserved a private soul guidance table for you." Wang Yu made a "please" gesture.
Following the direction Wang Yu pointed, Xiao Ye No. 3 saw an extremely ornate soul-guided metal table. It was not only twice the size of other soul-guided tables, but also engraved with various sun and moon patterns. The most eye-catching feature was the matching luxurious chair.
"This chair is even more magnificent than the dragon throne. I wonder what Xu Tianran will think when he sees it." Xiao Ye No. 3 walked up and tapped and touched the chair for a while.
Wang Yu raised an eyelid, fearing that Xiao Nanye might pull out a sack and steal the expensive chair as well, since this heartless guy had previously stolen the arena door.
"Where is that bastard's enemy? Why isn't he here yet?" Wang Yu cursed under his breath, while keeping a smile on his face as he followed Xiao Ye No. 1.
A silver-ranked referee, temporarily recalled from another arena to supplement the team, witnessed this scene and curiously asked his companion, "Why is Lord Wang Yu being so polite to an underground Soul Master? Who is this guy? Does he have a powerful background?"
His companion glanced at him and replied, "I guess the news hasn't reached your city yet. This guy's name is Xiao Nanye. He's an extremely powerful Soul Master with a mysterious background and his exact strength is also a mystery. I've never seen him use his full power. He likes to come to our Chamber of Commerce's arena and win all sorts of rare metals, causing the Chamber of Commerce a lot of losses."
"How dare they blatantly take away the rewards from the Aodu Chamber of Commerce? Could they be people sent by those two forces?"
"It shouldn't be. Xiao Nanye said that our venue is easier to find, while he couldn't find the other two."
"."
Just as Wang Yu's fake smile was about to crumble, a bronze-ranked referee quickly walked up to Wang Yu and said in a low voice, "Sir, the person who claims to be Xiao Nanye's enemy has arrived."
Wang Yu was overjoyed and quickly asked, "Where?"
The bronze-lettered referee led Wang Yu to a group of Soul Masters.
The area in the middle of the group of Soul Masters was now empty.
"Where is everyone?" Wang Yu looked around and asked the referee with the bronze letter next to him.
The referee, looking embarrassed, pointed to a person standing in the middle of the area.
Looking in that direction, Wang Yu saw a Soul Master carrying various cannon barrels on his back and wearing a specially made helmet.
Approaching the Soul Master, Wang Yu lowered his voice and asked, "Um, Xiao Nanye's enemy?"
"Ah, yes, it's me." Ye Nanxiao pushed his goggles inside his helmet, revealing his face covered by a disguise mask.
"I almost didn't recognize you in this outfit," Wang Yu said slowly, his lips twitching slightly.
Ye Nanxiao flashed a wide smile, his eight gleaming white teeth gleaming in an unseen light. "Actually, I'm an assassin. An assassin carrying some firepower isn't a problem, is it?"
Wang Yu suddenly realized something and turned to ask the referee with the bronze plaque, "Didn't you recognize me just now?"
The referee nodded and said, "I initially thought they were here to cause trouble because of their gear, but I realized it was just after asking around."
Wang Yu took a deep breath, forced a smile, and turned to Ye Nanxiao, saying, "Isn't your outfit a bit too... uh, too flashy?"
What Wang Yu really wanted to say was that with so many soul-guided cannons on his body, people who didn't know the situation would think he was here to start a war. Those cannons, which exuded a murderous aura, were at least level five soul-guided devices.
Upon hearing what Wang Yu said, Ye Nanxiao immediately became displeased and took out a soul-guided cannon from behind his back.
Ye Nanxiao's action startled Wang Yu so much that he almost unleashed his martial soul and put on his soul tool.
Ye Nanxiao pointed to the soul-guided cannon in his hand and said, "To deal with a cunning villain like Xiao Nanye, we need more soul-guided cannons. Otherwise, we won't have enough firepower to capture him. I think it's okay if I carry a few soul-guided cannons with me?"
"Besides, I'm an assassin. It's not a problem for an assassin to carry a bit more firepower, right? Only when the firepower is secured can we confirm the target's death. That's not a problem, is it?"
After hearing Ye Nanxiao's explanation, Wang Yu's eyelids twitched and cold sweat broke out on his forehead. He thought to himself, "Other assassins would do anything to disguise themselves as ordinary people, but you're practically telling everyone in the arena that you're an assassin."
The Aodu Chamber of Commerce controls the assassin industry. Wang Yu had also visited many assassin guilds that cooperated with the Chamber of Commerce with Li Yuanren, but none of the assassin guild members carried such heavy firepower without any concealment as Ye Nanxiao.
People would love to disguise themselves; they can wear all black and no one will suspect them. But you're carrying a bunch of heavy weapons and parading around the city, and you're telling me that's what an assassin does?
