"Before I make a move, I'll give you one more chance, speak..."

The tone remained as calm as ever, but such calm was overflowing with a murderous intent, and no one could guarantee that Qin Fang would not kill him on the spot.

Towards his enemies, especially those who went out of their way to kill him, he had never shown mercy, not even to grandmaster-level experts like Shangguan Tianling.

"I..."

This time, the assassin was no longer so tough, or perhaps he was at least intimidated by Qin Fang, especially since Qin Fang, right in front of him, slowly and methodically pulled the dagger that was stuck in his palm...

Oh, wrong...

This was not really pulling out, because after pulling out about one-third, he thrust it back in!

"Ah..."

Another agonizing scream ensued.

The same wound, hurting once was already painful, but pulling out a bit and then reinserting it, although it wouldn't cause a second, more severe wound, meant that the slightly closing wound in that arm would be cut again...

"You... devil!"

The assassin was genuinely scared, his whole body trembling. Although only his hand was wounded, he felt as if his heart was in excruciating pain.

Every finger is connected to the heart!

This is mainly because certain nerves and meridians in the ten fingers are connected to the heart meridian, so injuring a finger sometimes truly pains the heart.

Qin Fang was an expert in acupuncture and knew much about meridians and acupoints, and even now, as he was messing with a palm instead of ten fingers, he could freely control it.

"Who I am doesn't matter; I just need to know who you are and who sent you..."

Qin Fang seemed very indifferent, not caring how the other party cursed or hated him internally, his facial expression barely changed, as if what he was currently playing with wasn't a wounded hand but an ordinary model.

Meanwhile, Qin Fang's hands were not idle, as he began fiddling with the dagger again... This time, he didn't pull it out and reinsert it, but started digging inside the palm, seemingly wanting to gouge out all the flesh on his hand!

There isn't much flesh on the palm to begin with, and with most of the finger bones closely knit together, a slight movement could touch the bones... The dagger scraping against the bones was an extremely uncomfortable sensation, ticklish, itchy, numbing, but what followed was immeasurable pain...

"I... I... I'll talk!"

This time, the assassin was utterly broken, unable to muster any defiance, his tears almost squeezed out by pain, he pleaded weakly with Qin Fang.

"Sorry, you're too late..."

Just as he was about to divulge everything he knew, Qin Fang simply pulled out the dagger and said indifferently.

"Too late?"

The assassin was slightly stunned, his eyes filled with confusion, thinking he hadn't said anything yet, how could it be too late?

Unfortunately, what greeted him wasn't Qin Fang's answer but a hand-chop to the back of his neck, and he only felt darkness before him, immediately passing out...

"Black Panther..."

After knocking this man out, Qin Fang single-handedly lifted him, immediately walking towards a car parked not far away, muttering something oddly.

Qin Fang already knew all about this assassin's background, but this person was under the command of a black boss named Black Panther, a name Qin Fang didn't recognize, let alone have any feud with...

"Could it be Li Rui's man?"

A doubt arose in Qin Fang's mind, but he quickly dismissed it.

Li Rui was no fool; if he wanted to use such tactics, he would have acted much earlier rather than choose this moment.

Undeniably, Li Rui was indeed the overlord of the Ninghai Underground, with almost all the big and small gangs under his covert control, except for the south of the city, which was dominated by Tiger.

However, not all these gangs controlled by Li Rui completely followed his orders; at least, there were still some black bosses who fancied becoming the next underground overlord like Li Rui.

There isn't much information about this Black Panther; this assassin sent to kill Qin only knew that Black Panther had recently been released from prison and had gathered a bunch of desperate men to form the current small gang...

"Could it be that killing me was just for fame and fortune?"

Qin Fang frowned, somewhat puzzled by such a possibility.

He had climbed to his position leveraging Li Rui's reputation, and basically, anyone in Ninghai City who was doing well had likely heard of Qin Fang, thus no one dared to provoke him.

But for someone like Black Panther, being embedded in the underworld, it was certainly a great feat to use Qin Fang's death to gain fame, and at the same time to earn merit with Li Rui, killing two birds with one stone. Of course, he would take this risk...

"Looks like I really need to meet this Black Panther..."

Some people get involved in the underworld wanting to make a name for themselves quickly, which Qin Fang could understand. But using his life for their rise to fame, Qin Fang had to weigh Black Panther's capabilities.

Being assassinated out of nowhere was definitely not something Qin Fang enjoyed... Considering he had an identity—that of the future King of Assassins—if he were assassinated, it would bring great shame to his title of King of Assassins.

Of course, if he were really killed, there would no longer be any need to worry about losing face.

Having thrown the assassin into the trunk, Qin Fang immediately transformed into the appearance of the assassin and drove the car to the address of Black Panther he had gotten from the assassin.

Black Panther's living conditions were indeed not bad, having just gotten out of prison and so quickly moving into a villa, something even Qin Fang, a millionaire, had not yet enjoyed.

The villa looked pricey, situated in a prime location in Ninghai, reportedly each priced no less than thirty million, clearly not affordable for ordinary people.

"Tsk, tsk, it seems the underworld has its perks..."

Seeing such a villa, Qin Fang couldn't help but smirk... Of course, he was just griping casually and didn't take it too seriously.

"Hello, Brother Niu..."

The car stopped in front of the villa, and two lackeys at the gate, immediately rushing to greet Qin Fang seated in the car, swiftly opened the gate to let Qin Fang's car in.

"Is Brother Bao around? I have important matters to discuss with him..."

After parking the car, Qin Fang immediately asked a lackey nearby.

The lackey appeared slightly perplexed but nodded nonetheless, "Brother Bao is upstairs, Brother Niu, you can go up yourself..."

Qin Fang didn't linger on the conversation, and promptly strode into the villa.

It was nearly five in the morning, already dawn. Yet, in such a winter night, most were still deep in sleep.

However, Qin Fang knew from the assassin that Black Panther had been waiting for his news all night and therefore hadn't slept...

There weren't many people inside the villa, at least as Qin Fang passed through the first floor, he saw no one and directly headed upstairs.

Just as he had reached the second floor, he heard from a nearby room the enthralling sounds of a woman, evidently, a man and woman were engaged in an intense battle...

Qin Fang also grimaced slightly, no wonder the lackey downstairs had that expression earlier, he had evidently come at an inconvenient time.

There wasn't anyone else on the second floor, only the sounds of the couple in the room. Qin Fang couldn't very well barge in, so he stood at the door for a moment.

Fortunately, just as he stopped, sounds of a man's heavy breathing and a woman's screams emerged from inside—apparently, the battle had timely ended.

Knock, knock, knock, knock~~

Only then did Qin Fang knock on the door and said, "Brother Bao, it's me..."

Upon hearing Qin Fang's voice, sounds of rustling clothes came from inside, and within about a minute, a tough-looking man wearing a bathrobe came out from the room.

This man was naturally Black Panther. Qin Fang took a good look at him; ultimately he seemed unfamiliar, as he had no strong impression of this man and didn't recognize him at all.

"Da Niu, didn't I tell you to keep an eye on that kid? Why are you back?"

However, as Qin Fang pondered why Black Panther wanted to kill Qin Fang, Black Panther frowned and chided, clearly displeased with Da Niu for not following orders.

"Brother Bao, I've accomplished the task, that kid was hit to death by me..."

Qin Fang instantly responded, his eyes shifting.

This was indeed the case, except the kid failed to kill Qin Fang.

"Hm? Are you serious?"

Upon hearing this, Black Panther was momentarily stunned, his eyes blazing intensely as he stared at Qin Fang and questioned sharply.

"Of course, it's true! I was afraid he wasn't completely dead, so I stabbed his heart again. You know the place, Fu Gui Mountain, nobody goes there at midnight, even if someone discovered him, it's impossible to save him..."

Qin Fang spoke with an air of confidence, nearly guaranteeing it by patting his chest!

"But honestly, that kid was really tough, he actually jumped onto the roof of my car creating a huge dent, I had to slam the brakes to throw him off, knocking him into the cliffside, that's how I killed him..."

In order to win Black Panther's trust, Qin Fang had to show a bit of truth, which could be verified just by looking at the car parked downstairs.

Black Panther listened to Qin Fang's words, not completely convinced, but Qin Fang detailed it convincetively, and it didn't seem like he was lying. Most importantly, Da Niu was Black Panther's most trusted subordinate, definitely not someone who would betray him. (To be continued.
