The Crazy Son-In-Law

Chapter 528 Hidden Undercurrents



Duke of Death Louis, the super ace of Caesar’s Voice, was proficient in all kinds of weapons and equipment.

In addition to weapons, this person’s skills were also absolutely first-class. In close combat, his fists and feet could defend against enemies, and from afar his firepower could cover everything, making him impenetrable!

Since his debut, he had carried out over a hundred missions, most of which were S-level or even higher assassination operations. Up until now, he had yet to taste defeat.

Of course, for an assassin, failure of a mission often meant death. There was no dispute about this!

Louis had also single-handedly defeated a special operations team on a small island in the Pacific. At that time, the legend spread far and wide, leaving people dumbfounded.

There were so many examples like this that they were too numerous to list.

After listening to a long recitation of Louis’ “glorious achievements”, Xiao Shun said solemnly: “Do you think this guy might be someone Tan Haohan sent to deal with me?”

Duan Jia nodded gravely: “Although we can’t be certain, I think the chances are eight or nine out of ten!”

Clearly, Louis coming to Harrow at this time was most likely to carry out a mission, otherwise he wouldn’t have crossed the Pacific Ocean and traveled thousands of miles to get here.Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

Even more thought-provoking was his previous cooperation with Tan Haohan!

Not long ago, Xiao Shun had just struck the Tan family, and it was coincidental that Louis arrived right after. Anyone with eyes could see the implications.

After thinking for a moment, Xiao Shun asked Duan Jia: “If you ran into Louis, what are your chances?”

Duan Jia said ashamedly: “I’m no match for him.”

Upon hearing this, Xiao Shun was slightly surprised.

An existence that could make the usually arrogant Duan Jia admit inferiority must be no ordinary person.

With this thought, Xiao Shun asked further: “Can you keep track of that man’s movements next?”

Duan Jia looked at him helplessly and answered: “I can’t keep track. The first thing a top assassin has to learn is to conceal their whereabouts, otherwise they wouldn’t be called assassins.”

Xiao Shun deeply agreed with a nod. After all, a killer who couldn’t even hide himself well, how could he live to see tomorrow’s sun?

“Alright, I’ll pay close attention to this matter,” he said with a nod.

Xiao Shun then prepared to return home first to discuss related matters with Zhu Que in advance.

Seeing him get up to leave, Duan Jia hurriedly stood up and said, “Why don’t I just stay at your place for the next period of time to coordinate with you.”

Xiao Shun waved his hand and joked: “No need, you know my skills. And if you go to my house, won’t all my private treasures end up in your stomach?”

He was joking. If this alcoholic went to his house, what hope would there be for his good wine?

Duan Jia smiled awkwardly, not taking it to heart.

He had the utmost respect for Xiao Shun’s strength, which was why he chose to follow him. Even the infamous Duke of Death in assassin circles was not a match for Xiao Shun in Duan Jia’s eyes.

Rather than worry about Xiao Shun’s safety, he might as well practice well with this extremely sharp dagger.

After returning home, Xiao Shun first found Zhu Que and asked her about Duke of Death. He could have directly asked Duan Jia, but considering they were in the same profession, he felt it would be better to ask Zhu Que, as she might provide more detailed information.

“Why are you asking about him?”

After hearing Xiao Shun’s questions, Zhu Que looked somewhat surprised.

Seeing her expression, Xiao Shun explained his speculation with Duan Jia.

Looking meaningfully at him, Zhu Que murmured, “It seems Tan Haohan has spent a lot to get rid of you.”

“Oh?” Xiao Shun smiled faintly. “It seems Duke of Death’s appearance fee must be high.”

Zhu Que slowly put down the blueprint in her hand and looked up at the smiling Xiao Shun.

“At least 50 million, in US dollars.”

“Wow, really? We’re rich, we’re rich!”

Xiao Shun laughed heartily. He didn’t know where he had pulled out a rope and randomly wrapped it around himself.

“What are you doing?” Zhu Que looked puzzled.

Xiao Shun cockily raised his eyebrows. “What else could I be doing? I tied myself up to go get the money. That’s 50 million US dollars!”

Zhu Que sneered. “Do you think Tan Haohan wants you alive?”

“Uh…”

Xiao Shun’s smile froze. He felt Zhu Que was right.

“Do you think I should go settle accounts with Tan Haohan now?” he asked.

Zhu Que shook her head. “Doing that will only make the situation worse. Even if Tan Haohan dies, it won’t end his cooperation with Louis. In fact, your actions may lead to an even more serious outcome.”

Although she was usually aloof, when it came to professional knowledge, she understood far more than the layman Xiao Shun.

“You mean if I kill Tan Haohan now, Louis’ assassination mission will be upgraded?” Xiao Shun asked thoughtfully.

“You can understand it that way. So I suggest you don’t act rashly, even if you want to settle accounts with Tan Haohan. It’s still easier to deal with a businessman than an assassin.” Zhu Que replied.

“It looks like before Louis shows himself, I’d better stay by Yao Cen’s side, in case something goes wrong.” Xiao Shun said worriedly.

He wasn’t worried about his own safety now. With absolute power, everything would be laid bare. Although Duke of Death was strong, Xiao Shun didn’t think he had the ability to threaten him.

Unlike Xiao Shun, Yao Cen was a helpless woman, and also his fatal weakness. If the opponent tried to restrain him through her, that would be big trouble!

“I think the opposite. It’s best if you stay away from Yao Cen these days so she can be safe.”

Zhu Que’s words made Xiao Shun fall silent. He soon understood their meaning.

“You’re right. If I stay by her side, accidents are bound to happen. I’ll have to trouble you then.”

Zhu Que hmmed in agreement, immediately put away the blueprints, grabbed her car keys, and headed for the door.

Seeing this, Xiao Shun nodded in relief. With Zhu Que by Yao Cen’s side, he didn’t need to worry too much about safety.

At the same time, at Starline Bio.

Yao Cen was sitting at her desk looking through documents from today.

“Here’s today’s financial front page news!” The secretary rushed in holding a newspaper and came to the focused Yao Cen.
