Supremely Talented Tyrant

"Hmph! Even if I die, I will never let you succeed!"

Noticing Hao Jian's increasingly grave expression, Muramasa laughed coldly, biting down hard on his teeth!

Behind his teeth, he kept the poison he hid, one of the methods to quickly free himself if his mission failed.

But as his teeth bit down, his face suddenly changed...

"Hehe, since you know my identity, you should also know my understanding of suicide methods!" Hao Jian sneered, stepping on Muramasa's head, laughing coldly.

"Daring to release you proves I have the absolute ability to ensure you can't escape!"

From the moment he made contact with Muramasa, Hao Jian had directly taken out all the poison Muramasa had hidden on him. From the moment he hit the ground, Muramasa had no means to commit suicide because they were all eradicated by Hao Jian.

"You..."

"You what?! Quickly reveal your employer!"

His left leg kicked out fiercely, striking Muramasa's chest hard, instantly sending Muramasa crashing into the concrete pillar like a bag, spider-like cracks rapidly spreading.

"Otherwise, you will become like that concrete pillar behind you..."

With a touch of his toe on the ground, his figure dashed forward, appearing before Muramasa in the blink of an eye, those cold, emotionless eyes fixed tightly on Muramasa.

"I... I'll talk!"

Swallowing saliva, Muramasa's face turned pale; he didn't want to end up like the pillar behind him. Compared to dying, his life was still more important.

"Tch! Thought you would be stronger, turns out you're only this extent."

Pouting, Hao Jian slowly bent down, reaching out to grab Muramasa from beside the pillar and toss him onto the nearby empty ground.

"Speak, maybe I'll be in a good mood and let you go."

If it were someone else, Hao Jian might worry about extracting information, but when it comes to Muramasa, Hao Jian wasn't too concerned. In a short time, he understood that this guy's personality was rather cowardly, despite a facade of strength.

On the surface, he appeared strong, but in fact, he was hiding his cowardice. That's why he removed the poison, fearing this guy would act recklessly when cornered.

"Yes, yes..."

Muramasa nodded quickly, but hesitated again, glanced at Hao Jian, and said: "If I reveal my employer, you really won't kill me?"

Upon hearing this, Hao Jian snorted coldly, clenched his fist, and said: "I think I need to let you know, I, the God of Death, never repeat myself..."

"Hurry up! No time to waste on you here!"

"Sorry! Sorry!"

Seeing Hao Jian's suddenly cold face, Muramasa shrank back, his lips bitter, yet slowly narrating the story...

"I saw the task on the Assassin Platform, and I happened to be traveling near Hua City, so I took up this task..."

The platform that gathers all the world's assassins is called the Assassin Platform. Anyone wanting to become an assassin and take up a task only requires approval from the Assassin Platform to gain its endorsement.

This Assassin Platform survives not only because of its numerous talents but also due to its necessity for high-level people.

Generally, when it's inconvenient to act yourself, you need an assassin to do it; you just need to pay. Even if the task ultimately fails, the Assassin Platform won't charge for it.

They might even proactively send stronger people to help you take care of the aftermath until the task is completed or the employer cancels the task, a rule satisfying to those employers.

Upon hearing this, Hao Jian nodded; though he hadn't used the Assassin Platform, its authority was irreplaceable. The international assassin rankings are released by them!

This fact alone shows the capability of this platform!

"I don't know my employer's identity, only that his name is Madison..."

"Madison?!"

So it's that old guy...

Hearing Muramasa mention the employer, Hao Jian showed a knowing expression; if it's that old guy, it's not surprising in the least. Only he is unaware of Hao Jian's true strength, and has the financial means to hire assassins of Muramasa's caliber.

Hao Jian hadn't forgotten, this guy has tens of billions in funds; spending this much to hire Muramasa is more than enough.

Reaching his level, knowing about the Assassin Platform is normal. Without these wealthy people, the Assassin Platform would lack purpose and wouldn't even be established.

"Do you know where he lives?"

Hao Jian asked.

"He posted the mission on the Assassin Platform. I only know his name, nothing else. After all, we're just taking the jobs, and knowing too much about the clients does us no good."

"That's also a rule of the Assassin Platform. Even though you're not registered there, you should know the rules that have kept this power going until now..."

Upon hearing this, Hao Jian shook his head. It seemed relying on this guy was useless. His eyes flickered, and a spark flashed in his mind. He fixed his gaze on Muramasa, and coaxed.

"You don't want to die, do you?"

"No, I don't..."

Muramasa shook his head without hesitation. If he could avoid death, no one intended to die, not even someone of his level as an assassin.

"Then do something for me, and if you complete it, I'll let you go..."

As he spoke, he took out a black pill from his pocket. Before Muramasa could react, he flicked his fingers, and the pill fell directly into Muramasa's mouth.

The moment it entered his mouth, Muramasa instinctively swallowed it, and once he did, a look of terror appeared on his face, and his lips trembled.

"What did you give me to eat?!"

"Nothing much, just something common in the Assassin World—a Control Pill. If you don't get the antidote in three days, the pill will take effect, and you will die..."

With a hint of a smirk, Hao Jian had no intention of reasoning with Muramasa. Talking sense into someone like this was a waste of time. He chuckled lightly and said, "And you know the difficulty of acquiring the antidote for this thing since every pill is unique."

"The pill I used, of course, isn't simple. If you try to use your own antidote to neutralize it, it will only accelerate its effect..."

Seeing that the pill he swallowed was a Control Pill known in the Assassin World, Muramasa's face drastically changed. He quickly pulled out a small glass bottle from his body, inside which lay three or four pills quietly.

He swiftly opened the bottle, about to consume it, but at that moment, Hao Jian's light voice reached his ears, making his raised hand stop abruptly in mid-air.

Cold sweat continuously dripped from his forehead, his eyes filled with fear. Pointing at Hao Jian, he exclaimed, "You... you said you wouldn't kill me?!"

"Yes! I said I won't kill you now, but I didn't say I won't kill you later. But as long as you complete this mission, I'll naturally give you the antidote. I, God of Death, always keep my word!"

Glancing at Muramasa indifferently, Hao Jian coldly chuckled.

"But... but I don't know Madison's location!"

Bitterly, he hadn't even seen Madison in person. Even the deposit for the assassination was transferred online, and now Hao Jian wanted him to kill Madison.

How was he supposed to do this? Asking him to kill someone without even knowing their appearance? What kind of logic is that?

Yet saying too much now would likely be useless. The notorious God of Death, known for his cruelty, was beyond famous. He never expected to encounter him in such a small place...

"You don't have to worry about the location; I'll give it to you shortly."

With that, Hao Jian pulled out his phone and called Spice Ginger. Upon hearing what Hao Jian said, Muramasa had no choice. He could only listen to Hao Jian if he wanted to preserve his life...

"Young Master Hao!"

As soon as the call connected, Spice Ginger's respectful voice came through. Upon hearing it, Hao Jian spoke up, "I need Madison's location information. How long do you need to prepare it?"

"Give me thirty seconds!"

Hearing this, Spice Ginger quickly wedged the phone between his shoulder and ear, and his hands swiftly moved to search for Madison's information on the table. He had caught wind of this yesterday and had someone investigate Madison's arrival in Hua City.

It was just routine work, and he hadn't expected Hao Jian would need it today. Fortunately, he had kept it in a visible spot, finding it in just over ten seconds.

"Young Master Hao, Madison is currently in this city's Hilton Hotel on Yuguan Street, in the Presidential Suite on the top floor, room number 2301!"

"Okay, got it."

Upon hearing this, Hao Jian nodded and then hung up the phone. Turning his head, he looked at Muramasa and calmly said, "Hilton Hotel 2301, Madison is there. Once you deal with him, I'll give you the antidote."

"Then, leave a triangular stone on the bench of the small park in front of Fanglin Hotel, and I'll know it's you..."

"Alright!"

"Sometimes you have to bow when you're under someone else's roof," thought Muramasa. After all, the person Hao Jian wanted him to eliminate likely wasn't very strong. If that's the case, the assassination should be relatively easy after all.

After all, he was ranked third on the assassin leaderboard! Although dealing with Hao Jian was beyond his capabilities, it didn't mean he couldn't handle Madison!
