When faced with two choices, Mo Ming's expression showed no signs of change, yet it sent cold sweat down Silver Gunman's back, making him feel as if the young man before him was a demon.
The two options were so obvious; wealth was certainly not more important than life. Moreover, Silver Gunman was notorious in the assassin world for being a disgrace. To save himself, he could do anything.
Sito Hai had nothing to do with him. Even if there was a connection, Silver Gunman would choose without hesitation.
"I choose the latter. Damn it, Sito Hai didn't tell me your true background; he only said you were a little bodyguard. Because of that, many of my brothers ended up dead. I won't cover for that bastard."
A flicker of disgust flashed in Mo Ming's eyes. Sito Hai deserved to die, but Silver Gunman's disregard for the rules of the trade, exposing his employer to save himself, made Mo Ming dislike him immensely.
"Heh, I'm glad you made the right decision. However, to prevent you from pulling any tricks, I still have to keep an eye on you," Mo Ming said to Shang Xige. "Did you bring the 'Immortal Pill' from Poisonous Madness? Give him one to take, or he might bite back later."
"No, I don't want any Immortal Pill! Don't worry; I won't bite back!" Silver Gunman looked at Shang Xige in terror as he saw Shang Xige pull out a small vial from his pocket and pour out a red pill with a cold smile on his face as he approached.
"Don't worry; you're not losing out. This is a good thing; it costs ten thousand to refine just this tiny pill. You're getting it for free and still complaining."
"Ah... I don't want it!"
Shang Xige ignored Silver Gunman's protests, pried open his mouth, and forcefully threw the pill inside, covering Silver Gunman's mouth to make him swallow it.
Now, Silver Gunman had lost all semblance of an assassin and was no different from a small fry. He was terrified for his life; this was not the quality an assassin should possess.
No matter how he resisted, the pill eventually made its way into his stomach.
As soon as Shang Xige let go, Silver Gunman stuck his fingers down his throat and gagged violently but could not bring anything up.
"Ugh..."
Shang Xige sneered, "Stop struggling. Once it enters your digestive system, it will be broken down by your stomach acid and completely absorbed by your intestines. Even if you vomit your bile, it won’t make any difference."
"What on earth is this thing?"
"I remember I mentioned it before," Mo Ming said with a hint of mockery at the corner of his mouth. "The Immortal Pill, as the name suggests, once you take this pill, it will make your life worse than death. Don't think about finding someone to solve it; you should know the reputation of Poisonous Madness. No one in the world has been able to break his poison, so you'd better be honest."
"Poisonous Madness! Who exactly are you, and how do you have his poison?" Silver Gunman was somewhat on the verge of a breakdown.
Poisonous Madness was known as the world's foremost expert on poisons. To date, no one had been able to neutralize the poisons he created. With his exceptional skills in toxicology, he was famous worldwide, being both a poison king and a medical sage. He could poison others and also cure rare diseases; many prominent figures owed him favors.
"You don't need to know that much. Just tell me what I ask," Mo Ming smiled and said. "If I'm pleased, maybe I'll give you the antidote. If you dare to deceive me, I'm sorry, but I won't kill you; instead, you'll feel like ants crawling all over your body, suffering until you completely tear your skin and die."
"Ask away! Whatever you want to know, I'll tell you. I just hope you won't deceive me; when the time comes, you must give me the antidote."
This dog was so obedient that Mo Ming felt quite satisfied. He smiled and said, "Where is Sito Hai now? How do you contact him? I need his exact location; you'd better not lie to me. My methods are not something you can resist."
"Sito Hai is in a commercial apartment in Golden Lion Garden. At this time, I guess he’s off looking for that charming Little Fairy to roll around with."
Silver Gunman seemed to recall the Little Fairy and unconsciously revealed a lewd expression, as if he wanted to go and have a go at her himself. Mo Ming looked at him with increasing disgust.
Shang Xige understood Mo Ming's feelings very well and kicked Silver Gunman down, saying, "Stop acting like a fool here! Hurry up and tell me, besides Sito Hai, are there any other lackeys around?"
"Yes, yes..." Silver Gunman dared not be distracted any longer and said nervously, "There’s only one person; Sito Hai has a personal bodyguard who is quite capable." As he spoke, Silver Gunman glanced at the enigmatic Mo Ming and added with a smile, "But I wonder if you guys are his match."
"You don't need to worry about that. Just tell me where that person is hiding while protecting Sito Hai; I don’t need to hear too much nonsense," Mo Ming's voice turned even colder.
"I don't know; that person seems to be a retired soldier—elusive and quite skilled. I don't know his location..." Seeing Mo Ming's brow furrowed, Silver Gunman immediately became frightened and quickly added, "But I can scout ahead for you. As soon as I get close, that person will come out to intercept me; then you'll know his whereabouts."
Mo Ming lightly patted Silver Gunman's face a few times. However, Silver Gunman did not dare show any anger; he acted like a lapdog, almost licking his master's hand.
"You really are obedient; that's a good idea. It all depends on you now. If you dare play tricks, you'll suffer from poison for the rest of your life until death comes for you. Given my relationship with Poisonous Madness, don’t think you can get any antidote from him."
Silver Gunman kept nodding: "Yes, my life is in your hands; rest assured I won’t play tricks. I just hope you keep your word when it comes time to kill Sito Hai—you must give me the antidote."
"Don't worry; I never go back on my word. I'll definitely give you the antidote when the time comes."
……
Golden Lion Garden.
After getting out of the taxi, Silver Gunman looked around before straightening his clothes and walking inside. At this moment, Silver Gunman put on gloves to cover the wounds on his hands.
Not long after Silver Gunman entered, two men dressed as electricians hurried in.
"Wait a moment, you two."
The Old Security Guard called out to them.
The two men were Mo Ming and Shang Xige. Upon hearing the call, they immediately stopped.
"Turn around and let me see," said Old Security Guard.
"Grandpa, is there something you need?" Mo Ming turned around and said with a grin, "It's so late; you should get some rest. No need to work so hard; no one will know if you take a break."
Old Security Guard looked Mo Ming up and down and said, "You know it's late. So tell me, what are you two doing here? You look like electricians, right?"
"Hehe, good eye! You guessed it right," Mo Ming praised with a thumbs up. "We have to work late to earn money. A regular customer said their electrical system is broken and asked me to come take a look."
"Oh, alright then, hurry up," said Old Security Guard, understanding the situation and waving them off.
Without saying much more, Mo Ming followed closely behind Silver Gunman along with Shang Xige.
To wait for Mo Ming and Shang Xige, Silver Gunman deliberately slowed his pace. Once he knew they had caught up, he resumed his normal speed. Just as Silver Gunman was about to walk into the stairwell, a man rushed out and blocked his way. This man was dressed plainly but had an air of authority. He glanced at Silver Gunman and said calmly, "It's quite late; do you have business here?"
Indeed, he was a bodyguard. Mo Ming couldn't help but compare himself to the man and realized that the bodyguard was more dedicated, still remembering to protect his employer at such a late hour.
Silver Gunman remained relatively calm and said with a smile, "Isn't it about that Mo Ming matter? I have an urgent issue to discuss with you, Boss. Please let me go up quickly."
"No, Boss is resting right now."
"It's really urgent. Just take me up. If there's a delay and Boss gets angry, you'll be in trouble. I can just run away, but are you willing to face the consequences?" Silver Gunman pretended to be anxious.
The man considered for a moment and nodded in agreement, saying, "Then follow me."
"Okay."
Silver Gunman responded and glanced at Mo Ming, signaling him. Just as the other man was about to go upstairs, Silver Gunman attempted to ambush him with a kick, but the man reacted quickly, crashing into Silver Gunman and knocking him to the ground.
"Damn it, I knew you were up to something," the man said as he drew his gun and aimed at Silver Gunman. After cursing, he looked around and noticed two electricians rushing over.
Silver Gunman dared not move, feeling frustrated. If his silver gun hadn't been confiscated by Mo Ming, he would have sent this guy to meet his end long ago. For now, he could only remain still.
"Who the hell are you?"
The man fired two shots at Silver Gunman's arm to prevent any tricks.
"Ah..."
Just as the man was about to swing his gun toward Shang Xige, two flying knives forced him to retreat, though he wasn't hit. But as he swung his gun again...
Mo Ming appeared like a ghost right in front of him, a cold glint flashing.
"Ugh..."
A circular blood mark appeared on the man's wrist where he held the gun. Just as he was about to scream in pain, Mo Ming swiftly drove a dagger through his throat, silencing him completely.
In just a split second, the retired soldier bodyguard met his demise.
Shang Xige quickly dragged the man's body into the bottom of the stairs, and then a set of keys appeared in his hand.
The earlier scene left Silver Gunman speechless. The man's close combat skills were quite good, seemingly better than his own, yet he couldn't last a single move against Mo Ming.
No wonder this young boy became Shang Xige's leader; Silver Gunman finally realized he had offended a demon, and he felt regret deep in his heart.
"Stop being dazed, get up quickly and lead the way. Where is Sito Hai?"
Silver Gunman swallowed hard, composed himself, and stood up. "It's on the top floor in the loft. I'll take you there now."
Silver Gunman walked ahead, with Mo Ming and Shang Xige following closely behind. As long as he dared to play tricks, he would instantly become a cold corpse. Silver Gunman wasn't foolish; he certainly wouldn't dare to pull any stunts.
They arrived at the door of the loft on the top floor.
"Sito Hai is inside."
