Back in the day, how many heroes and valiant figures fell under this assassination order.

In this world, the saying "money makes the world go round" is absolutely true. Under the immense profits, assassins who were in hiding emerged one after another, just for the targets on the assassination order.

Once the assassination order is issued, it remains effective until the target is dead; otherwise, it will never be withdrawn.

Initially, many of the people who were targets on the assassination order showed no fear, but the hundred percent kill rate left future generations terrified.

This is a colossal task orchestrated by the Red Butterfly organization. Each time at the start, there is only a few million of initial bounty. However, once an assassin takes on the task and the assassination fails, the bounty goes up upon confirmation, waiting for the second wave of hitmen to strike.

From a few million, the assassination bounty can go up to tens of millions or even surpass the hundred million mark. Later, some people started feeling afraid. Once targeted by the assassination order, they could only retreat to the mountains. But even hiding was useless; as long as the slightest whisper leaked out, the assassins would strike without the slightest hesitation. Unless one's hiding is particularly successful.

Moreover, many people, due to the assassination order, couldn't spare even their family members. Hiding was useless, as those assassins would find your relatives for leverage, forcing you to come out, lest you regret it for life.

After hearing Old Mrs. Ren's explanation, Xiaofan felt a heavy weight was pressed onto his heart. Clearly, his luck wasn't good, being targeted by the people from the Red Butterfly.

"Grandma, is there really no one who can escape the assassination order?" Xiaofan couldn't help but ask.

"There are, only three people have managed to hide all their lives. And one person hasn't even tried hiding, yet the assassination order couldn't do anything to him." Old Mrs. Ren slowly said.

"Who? That badass!" Li San immediately inquired.

"My husband, Ren Zhongtian."

With those words, Xiaofan couldn't help but freeze. In his heart, he couldn't help but once again admire Grandpa Ren Zhongtian's formidable strength.

"Wow, sorry sorry, I misspoke earlier, misspoke." Li San quickly grimaced and said.

"The assassination order hasn't issued a new target in many years. Currently, aside from the three people who have hidden, there's no fully fledged target, leaving Xiaofan and Yanhuang Soul's Fan Lingtian." Mrs. Ren continued.

"Grandpa Fan?" Xiaofan couldn't help but furrow his brow once more.

"Indeed, it's not that Fan Lingtian's capabilities are particularly strong, but rather he spends his days living within Yanhuang Soul, so the assassins can't get to him. Plus, the identities of his wife and children are deeply hidden, no one knows the whereabouts of his family members." Old Mrs. Ren further explained.

"That means the next one to be killed is me." Xiaofan said helplessly.

"Back when your Grandpa Ren had the highest bounty on the assassination order, it was eighty million USD. The assassins he killed numbered countless. Now, it's your turn, truly unknown whether you have the ability to fend off this calamity." Mrs. Ren sighed inwardly, deeply understanding the terror of the assassination order, which completely meant perpetually guarding against assassins day and night. Eighty million USD, if successful, no need to work as an assassin this lifetime, the next, even ten lifetimes.

"Should I now immediately leave, sever all ties with everyone?" Xiaofan immediately responded.

"Xiaofan... How about you hide at Yanhuang Soul for a while and see what's happening? Anyway, the bounty isn't high yet, maybe..."

"What good will hiding do. At that time, isn't it still the people around me who will suffer? If I hide, what about my parents? I definitely can't hide."

Perhaps even Xiaofan himself never dreamed that he would be targeted by such a terrifying thing like an assassination order. Back then, he was always wanting to protect Shen Zuimo; now, perhaps he can't even protect himself. How ironic is that. And it would implicate those around him.

Red Butterfly, Red Butterfly, you're forcing me, Ye Xiaofan, to be at odds with you.

Yet, our classmate Xiaofan also clearly understands that he currently can't possibly confront Red Butterfly. Neither can he run away, nor hide, or is it truly to take one step at a time, letting fate decide?

"Li Kuo. Li San. Lei Xiaolei..."

"Hmm?"

The three suddenly looked at Xiaofan.

"The three of you return first, don't come looking for me anymore, go do what you are supposed to do. Li San, peacefully take care of your two little ones, Xiaolei, go back to Yanhuang Soul, I will speak with Grandpa Fan. Li Kuo, go be your young master."

And so, Xiaofan begins to gradually distance himself from those around him. This friendship shall be severed once more.

However, wasn't it apparent to Li San and the others? Xiaofan couldn't cut off this friendship, which is why he wanted the three to distance themselves, to prevent implicating them.

"I'm not going back to Yanhuang Soul, anyway, my great revenge has been avenged. My wish for this lifetime has been fulfilled." Lei Xiaolei spoke without hesitation. When a brother is in trouble, how could he possibly go away, especially with no one at home depending on him. No need to worry.

"Cough cough, those two little ones have their aunt taking care of them. Anyway, I am not someone to do anything substantial this lifetime, so it's better not to set a bad example for them." Li San hesitated a bit; it's not that he was hesitant, but his nature was like this. As one of the Swallows, he must weigh the pros and cons, yet halfway through consideration, he suddenly stopped.

On the day he met Ye Xiaofan, that life-saving money of several thousand yuan sufficiently demonstrated this guy in front was a true man. A friend like this, if not befriended, indeed one could never truly find a genuine friend throughout life.

As for Li Kuo, he had no choice but to return. Firstly, he was not skilled in combat, secondly, merely an heir of wealthy parents, his family at most seemed to have some extra money, but compared to Red Butterfly, that was obviously far from enough.

"I'll head back after I finish some work." Li Kuo said softly: "Do you have a computer at home, old lady? A laptop would do."

"I'll go get it." At this moment, Ren Ling was extremely obedient, entirely resembling a homemaker, feeling just like a wife needing to be diligent when her husband's friends visit. Serving tea etc, highly normal.

In no time, a laptop was handed over before Li Kuo.

After opening it, Li Kuo quickly entered a command, then connected via remote, entering his specific password. He got connected to the computer in Xiaofan's rental room.

"Look, from starting at three million, the bounty increased to five million. Xiaofan, if you need anything, call me." Li Kuo originally didn't think the assassination order was that terrifying, but now, after Old Mrs. Ren's explanation, he understood the severity, he wanted to help, yet couldn't unbind from his ties.

"Hmm..." Li Kuo must definitely not be entangled in this, he naturally should go back home and be a young master.

As for the others, Xiaofan begins to have headaches.
