Chapter 158: Bring Zhan Hongyan to Heel

Obviously, Zhan Hongyan had just woken up when Xiao Bing opened the door. So she just randomly picked up a hairpin on her desk and hurled it at Xiao Bing, who then dodged it.

But then, she regretted that she didn’t kill herself with it. Infuriated, she turned around and hit the wall with her head.

But the room was small and Xiao Bing had anticipated its arrival. He instantly sprinted for her and pinned her down on the bed.

The two glared at each other with one on top and one on the bottom. Zhan Hongyan grasped the sheet firmly and cried out, “Just give me a quick death.”

“Damn, don’t say it like that? People who don’t know the truth might think I did something to you. I didn’t lay a finger on you!”

“I… I… You already stripped me. Isn’t that enough?”

“I don’t think that’s enough,” said Xiao Bing with conspicuous lust on his face, which made Zhan Hongyan scream out of fear.

“You can scream until your mouth runs dry but nobody’s gonna save you. The concert is over, they’ve all gone. It’s just you and me now.”

Zhang Hongyan suddenly opened her mouth and it seemed that she intended to bite her tongue. But Xiao Bing stopped her timely by squeezing her cheeks. He put ice in his voice as he said, “If you do it again, I’ll take a picture of the naked you and post it on the Internet. You are a pretty girl. I’m sure that many men have pictured themselves having sex with you.”

Zhan Hongyan seemed to be in misery. She used to think of herself as a devil since she had always been killing people. But compared with Xiao Bing, she found herself just a lamb.

Xiao Bing took back his hand after he was sure that she wouldn’t do it again. Zhan Hongyan felt nervous when being under him. “I won’t try to kill myself again. Can you get off of me now?”

Xiao Bing shook his head. “I can’t. What if you try to do it again? But if you are not feeling comfortable, I can just lie on top of you…”

Xiao Bing then sprawled out on her like he just said. Though there was a thin sheet between them, Xiao Bing still could feel the chubbiness. The curves and concaves were well-arranged on her body. Xiao Bing unconsciously held her tighter with the reason to stop her wrenching out to kill herself.

“You’re such a lecher.”

“Thanks for the compliment. Are you in love with me?”

“What a shameless man.” Abashed, Zhan Hongyan inwardly cursed.

“All right. Let’s be serious since we are both adults…”

“You are nowhere near serious…” Of course, Zhan Hongyang did not dare to let those words slip from her tongue. Only god knew what this devil would do to her.

“Your colleagues were all arrested and I believe that your organization will assume that you betrayed them. What’s your plan for the future?”

“I’d rather die.” It did not sound like a lie because her face paled and there was resoluteness in her voice.

“That couldn’t be better! Think about the things I’ll do to you after you die. Just kill yourself then if you don’t care.”

Her face looked sullen and there was hatred in her eyes. “You’re a devil!” she said while gnashing her teeth.

“Don’t flatter me. I have heard so many people say the same thing. Of course, you are the only one to whom I showed my politeness. The others are all dead. Please keep in mind that I’ve already decided to spare your life two times. Gratitude is a necessary quality for humans.”

Zhan Hongyan drew in a deep breath. “I remember your kindness, that’s why I reminded you to ask your friend to cancel the concert, even though I was captured by then. But I never expected that you would be this shameless.”

“Seriously? Killing is not shameful? Killing a woman you’ve never met is not shameful?”

Zhan Hongyan found there was nothing she could say. So she snorted and shut her mouth.

Xiao Bing got off of her and sat on the couch. Zhan Hongyan sat up in a flurry and covered her body with the sheet. “You are not afraid that I might kill myself?” she asked prudently.

“You still want to die?” Xiao Bing knowingly gazed at Zhan Hongyan. “You are an assassin who was trained to have a strong mentality. However, compared with the true stone-hearted cut throats, you still have weakness. You still have gratitude and care about your body, which is the least of an assassin’s concerns.”

Zhan Hongyan cast him a glance of surprise. She found this man more and more mysterious. “How do you know about these things?” she asked tentatively.

“Because there are so many assassins who died by my hand, like Jim, who drank human blood.”

Zhan Hongyan trembled and her face turned pale. She stared at him with horrified eyes. “You’re lying. How could you be able to kill him? He’s the fifth-ranked killer in the world, a legend in the history of assassins!”

Xiao Bing remembered that he had fought Jim twice when he was carrying out a mission. The first time, neither of them could defeat the other. While the second time, since Xiao Bing had progressed in martial arts, he killed Jim while paying the price of getting slightly injured.

That blood-drinking Jim was a heretic, whose religion was Satanism.

Satan was a fallen angel who rebelled against God, according to the Bible. In the mysteries of Europe, he was a six-winged angel who was a servant of God. But then, he became arrogant, so God sent him to hell, making him the Devil, who was regarded as the dark and evil counterpart of God.

Jim was a psychopathic heretic. He needed to drink a huge amount of blood every few days, believing that his power would increase by drinking warm blood. And the people from whom Jim drank the blood would be brutally killed by him.

Jim was the most wanted man in every country, even throughout Europe. Children would stop crying at midnight if their parents told them that the blood-thirsty Jim was coming.

He was ranked only fifth among the assassins, yet he was veritably the scariest.

The Ghost Nest was not even as well known as some third-rate organization of assassins. However, some assassins in it were much more powerful than the best assassins in some second-rate assassin organizations. As one of the elites of the Ghost Next, she had heard about Jim’s story a long time ago. He was a legend in these assassins’ minds.

Jim’s death was already known among the assassins. But the story about how he died varied. Some people said that God descended from above and executed him. Some said that Jim died naturally and his soul went to hell. And others said that all countries united their special forces and killed Jim.

All of which deified Jim. Zhan Hongyan could never have imagined that this man, who was about the same age as her, could be able to kill Jim.

Xiao Bing asked, “You don’t believe me?”

“It’s hard to imagine…”

Xiao Bing guffawed. “I understand. Jim was good. But it was unfortunate for him that I was at my peak. I could kill him like it was a piece of cake.”

Zhan Hongyan opened her eyes wide. “Like a piece of cake? You’re just boasting.”

Though she was defeated by Xiao Bing, she was just an assassin at the early stage of Clear-strength. She was not even on the list of the elite assassins of China. Defeating her didn’t mean that he was very powerful.

“Then you can just forget it if you don’t believe it. Anyway, I know a lot about you assassins, and I have met many like you. You are the first that I can still talk to after I have known you for this long. You are merely a qualified assassin, not a good one.”

Zhan Hongyan gnashed her teeth. “Are you insulting me?”

“No, I just mean that you still have a conscience,” said Xiao Bing. “Sometimes I feel that killing is not the ultimate purpose. Like the underground world… we don’t really mean that we should destroy them, instead, we’re supposed to control them. We want their every action under our control, which is the same thing that I want to do with you.”

“Control me?” Zhan Hongyan asked.

There was a hint of vigilance on her aloof face.

“Haha. There’s no need to be so prudent. You are just a sellsword, actually. It’s just that now, you will serve a new master. The difference is not big, is it?”

“I see now. You want me to do things for you.”

“Good. You really are a smart woman. So now you can stop working for the Ghost Nest and work for me. What do you say?”

Seemingly cold, Zhan Hongyan snorted. Her face was overwhelmed with disdain.

“If you don’t agree, I will strip you and whip you through the streets.”

“You are such a bastard!”

“Thanks for the compliment!”

“…” Zhan Hongyan was truly speechless in front of Xiao Bing. She suddenly felt that no matter if he had killed Jim or not, he was a veritable demon.

Zhan Hongyan nodded and said faintly, “I agree.”

“Good. A clever choice for a clever woman.”

Xiao Bing had surmised that this woman would surrender because if she returned to the Ghost Nest now, she would definitely be regarded as a traitor and she would probably not die quickly at that time. She might be able to commit suicide because she was an emotionless woman before, but not after her soul and spirit were tortured by Xiao Bing consistently.

Xiao Bing believed that he was able to wear out the spirit of a top assassin, let alone Zhan Hongyan. He learned it from a colleague who specialized in this aspect in the Dragon Gate.

Zhan Hongyan became at ease because she had promised to work for him. But she still looked cold. “What should I do now?” she questioned in an icy voice.

“Put your clothes on and follow me!”
